An End-to-End Real-Time Connectivity Testbed Exploiting Standardized Dynamic Data-Plane PON Technologies

摘要

To avoid the cost of overprovisioning in dedicated connectivity schemes, we developed a real-time reconfigurable connectivity platform spanning Metro and Access by utilising the dynamic data-plane of commercial PON technologies and a novel SDN control-plane. We demonstrated end-to-end orchestration of < 10 seconds in all cases.
