Abstract:

With the open decoupling of optical networks, the traditional chimney style network management mode of manufacturers is gradually unable to meet the demand. The unified management of multiple manufacturers, direct control of equipment, and management of optical equipment and electrical equipment decoupling business have become necessary attributes for the unified management platform of transmission equipment. First, this paper elaborates on the key technologies for implementing open decoupling of controllers. Then, it introduces the innovative exploration of the controller. Finally, based on practical experience, it analyzes the application of the controller in the current network.

Key words: open optical network, SDN, unified controller, open decoupling
