Monitoring and Data Analytics-Triggered Reconfiguration in Partially Disaggregated Optical Networks

We present ADONIS, which stands for Aggregator/Disaggregator for Optical Network equIpmentS, a novel open device agent able to construct logical network devices from (dis)aggregation of physical components in order to expose meaningful network devices to the SDN controller. We experimentally assess it by means of a control closed-loop involving ADONIS, a Software Defined Network controller, a Monitoring and Data Analytics system, and a novel reconfiguration tool, SMART-A.
