Open marketplace and service orchestration for virtual optical networks

A key challenge in multi-vendor heterogeneous virtual optical networks is providing transparent access to network resources and virtual functions in a manner that enables users to combine them appropriately into meaningful end-to-end services. In this paper, we present a solution that consists of tw...

Description
Summary:A key challenge in multi-vendor heterogeneous virtual optical networks is providing transparent access to network resources and virtual functions in a manner that enables users to combine them appropriately into meaningful end-to-end services. In this paper, we present a solution that consists of two components: an open marketplace where vendors and users of network resources and functions meet to establish economic relationships; and a planning service for creating end-to-end communication services from functional building blocks available in the marketplace. We also discuss algorithms for tackling variants of the network service orchestration problem.
