Employing Channel Probing to Derive End-of-Life Service Margins for Optical Spectrum Services. To appear in OPTICA Journal of Optical Communications and Networking
K. Kaeval, F. Slyne, S. Troia +8
Optical Spectrum as a Service (OSaaS) spanning over multiple transparent optical network domains, can significantly reduce the investment and operational costs of the end-to-end se…
A Novel low-latency DBA for Virtualised PON implemented through P4 In-Network Processing
D. R. Mafioletti, F. Slyne, R. Giller +3
We present a novel dual-DBA allocation, with a fast P4-enabled scheduler to provide low latency upstream grant allocations. We show latency reduction of 37% and 43%, respectively,…
Demonstration of a low latency bandwidth allocation mechanism for mission critical applications in virtual PONs with P4 programmable hardware
D. R. Mafioletti, F. Slyne, R. Giller +4
We provide a real-time demonstration of a low-latency PON DBA mechanism, optimised for virtual PONs. Our implementation mixes P4 programmable data plane and software-based virtual…
Connected OFCity Challenge: an updated perspective on technology for connected cities
M. Ruffini, C. Xie, L. shi +1
This paper gives an update on technologies discussed during three OFC events, called 'The Connected OFCity Challenge', from 2016 to 2018. It focuses on research development and fie…
Moving the Network to the Cloud: the Cloud Central Office Revolution and its Implications for the Optical Layer
M. Ruffini, F. Slyne
SDN and NFV have recently changed the way we operate networks. By decoupling control and data plane operations and virtualising their components, they have opened up new frontiers…
