Demonstration of Integrated Control Plane for Service Flow Provisioning in Time Sensitive Networks

One of the most challenging tasks that autonomous network control systems need to face is to provision end-to-end packet flows spanning several domains. With the advent of time sensitive networking, the co-existence of services and infrastructure with and without time sensitive capabilities adds more complexity to the end-to-end flow management. In particular, avoiding unproper provisioning decisions is key to guarantee stringent quality of service requirements. In this demo, we will showcase an integrated control plane for provisioning flows spanning through domains with and without TSN capabilities. The decision making process will be supported by a digital twin in charge of estimating expected performance indicators before path provisioning acceptance.
