NFV-BASED OPTICAL TRANSMISSION NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a network function virtualization (NFV) management system generating an optical transmission network. According to the present invention, the NFV management system is configured to create a virtual network element (VNE) from a commercial-off-the-shelf hardware (COTS) and configure an external link when requested to configure the optical transmission network, create a virtual machine to operate a software defined network (SDN) controller by receiving allocation of hardware resources for computing and storage media from a network function virtualization infrastructure (NFVI), mount the SDN controller as a virtual network function (VNF) on the created virtual machine and configure according to the request, and configure a control network for transferring control messages between the SDN controller and the VNF.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2020
