Abstract:

To meet diverse business needs,both architecture on demand (AoD) nodes and multi-core fibers (MCF) based software-defined multi-dimensional optical networks will enable customizable network services.Aiming at the problem of management and control for multi-dimensional network resources,the architecture of software-defined multi-dimensional optical networks was introduced firstly.Then,the enabling technologies to support the implementation of software-defined multi-dimensional optical networks were presented.Finally,the development direction of software-defined intelligent multi-dimensional optical networks was proposed and analyzed.

Key words: software-defined optical network, multi-dimensional optical network, intelligent control and management, architecture on demand node, multi-core fiber
