Open APN Architecture PoC Reference November 2022

The IOWN Global Forum aims to establish an open architecture for photonic networking so that service providers can integrate photonic network functions into their entire computing and networking infrastructure with more granularity. The open architecture should also enable service providers to build an intelligent operations support system. In this PoC work, we plan to evaluate dynamic (automatic) optical path design methods, as well as its open interfaces, multi-environment support, and automatic provisioning functions.
