Design, deployment and validation of SDN controller for metro/access optical switching nodes

Abstract

This document presents the design and implementation of OPTNODE. OPTNODE is a new SDN application that runs on top of Opendaylight's abstraction layer. The application has been designed using a set of models (MD-SAL), which define its configuration and behaviour. OPTNODE is intended to manage optical switching nodes, that is, capturing the node's most important information such as ID, IP address, number of ports, port data, and wavelength data, among others.
