Abstract


This paper describes an Optical Network Control Architecture that provides end-to-end optical circuit establishment. For this purpose CPQD developed a northbound application that is based on Transport-API (TAPI) and RESTCONF to communicate with ONOS controller to request services, including provisioning and deprovisioning of optical circuits. The tests were performed using an optical transponder emulator developed by ODTN Project from ONF and an extension developed by RNP to include a data plane. The application development considers SDN and disaggregation concepts and enables, through an emulated environment, previous analysis of possible future work to be tested on testbeds with real equipment.
Keywords: SDN, TAPI, ONOS, open source, testbed, optical circuits
