On the Control of Multi-Function Reprogrammable Silicon Chip for ROADMs and Sliceable Transceivers

This study investigates the use of a reconfigurable multi-functional reprogrammable silicon chip as an add/drop network device for a sliceable bandwidth variable transceiver. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) with NETCONF/YANG protocol is used for control and management, leveraging REST API to facilitate communication and coordination between the device local controller and the silicon chip-integrated device.
