The CaON Vision of Future Optical Networks

• Support for Multi-gigabit Access Rates (FP7 ALPHA, OASE)

• Spectrum management: Flexible, Elastic Optical Layer (FP7 STRONGEST, call 8 IDEALIST)• Architectures on Demand

• Control Plane (FP7 MAINS and STRONGEST)• Targeted extensions for dynamic and data plane-aware network services

• Software/Hardware Defined Network Programmability (FIRE OFELIA and FIRE call 8 ALIEN)• For infrastructure and service adaptation

• Optical Network and IT Convergence (FP7 GEYSERS)• Infrastructure Virtualisation, Slicing and Isolation

• Optical Network Cognition (FP7 CHRON, UK EPSRC Photonics HyperHighway)

• Energy Efficient Optical Networks (FP7 STRONGEST and TREND)

Next event:22 - 26 September 2013ICC London ExCeL, UK

FuNeMS 2013

Suggestions for Keynotes, Panels, Workshops

• All Optical network when? At what cost? what technological barriers;

• Keynote/Panel (impact of the SDN model on DCN)

• CaON is working on the TPC members list

Standardization• NGPON2

• OFDM is not mature enough for standardization

• Multilayer coordination

• The current standards need to be extended to suggest new configurations (e.g. new TE-Links) to the VNTM.

• UNI is currently being extended

• Multilayer PCE, VNTM and UNI can cooperate together.

• Multidomain optical networks

• Hierarchical PCE is a good candidate to enable multi-domain interworking.

• Subwavelegths

• Commom termionolgy is being standardized at ITU-T

• GMPLS extensions to be proposed at IETF

• Flexgrid

• ITU is standardizing the date plane

• Frawework has just started in IETF… GMPLS/PCE extensions to be done.

• IT and Optical network Convergence

• First steps taken at IETF
