Architecture-on-Demand based hybrid optical switched(OPS/OCS) data centre network(DCN) fabric is introduced, which is able to realise different inter-and intra-cluster configurations and dynamically support diverse traffic in the DC. The optical DCN is controlled and managed by a software-defined networking(SDN) enabled control plane to achieve high programmability. Moreover, virtual data centre(VDC) composition is developed as an application of such softwaredefined optical DC to create VDC slices for different tenants.展开更多

However, current GMPLS control plane does not distribute wavelength con- verter information to network nodes. To overcome this situation, four wavelength converter information sharing methods for GMPLS-controUed optical networks are proposed. The first two, Conversion Capability during Signaling （CCS） and Conversion Availability during Signaling （CAS）, are based on the RSVP-TE signaling protocol, while the others, Conversion Capability Advertisement （CCA） and Conversion Availability Advertisement （ CAA ） , are based on the OSPF-TE routing protocol. Simulations show that CAA obtains the lowest blocking, while CCS the highest. Moreover, CAA only slightly increases the control plane load compared to CAS.展开更多
