Abstract(in English) Software Defined Networking (SDN) and OpenFlow, which allow operators to control the network using software running on a network operating system within an external controller, provide the maximum flexibility for the operator to control a network, and match the carrier's preferences given its centralized architecture, simplicity and manageability. In this paper, we present the enabling techniques and report a field trial of an OpenFlow-based Unified Control Plane (UCP) for multi-layer multi-granularity optical switching networks, verifying its overall feasibility and efficiency, and quantitatively evaluating the latencies for end-to-end path creation and restoration. To the best of our knowledge, the field trial of an OpenFlow-based UCP for optical networks is a world first.
