Combining optics and SDN to enable true hybrid integration of electronic and photonic switching solutions

View publication

Abstract

We present two hybrid fabrics integrating optical and electronic switches with SDN, and a novel approach improving the scaling of fast optical switches. C-Share reroute flows through optical switches increasing network performance. E-WDM exploits the optical switch transparency by emulating wavelength switching in electronic switches.
