OptoVisor: An infrastructure-as-a-service framework based on virtualization of optical network

In the field of cloud computing over optical networks, virtualization is an important issue. Typically this can be implemented on hardware or software. In this paper, we propose an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) framework-OptoVisor, with optical network virtualization implemented on management plane. This framework provides flexible resource scheduling and monitoring. Then we show the viability of our proposal with experimental demonstration and performance test.
