- Upcoming metro networks are required to transport huge and highly dynamic data traffic whilst resulting cost and power efficiency. In this context, the EU-H2020 PASSION project targets such a network design exploiting a solution based on both: i) programmable, modular, cost-efficient and low-power sliceable bandwidth/bitrate variable transceivers (S-BVTs) formed by a pool of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) and Coherent Receivers (CO-Rx); ii) hierarchical switching nodes in an optical flexi-grid network to provide all-optical transport and aggregation capabilities. In this context, an SDN controller is designed and deployed to attain the automatic programmability of the underlying transport network. Thereby, this work focuses on detailing the specific functions, workflows and control interfaces handled by the SDN controller which are tailored to the imposed requirements and capabilities of the targeted PASSION optical network solution. The goal is to attain the complete data plane configuration (involving several network elements and devices such as S-BVT and optical switches) to dynamically accommodate end-to-end heterogenous data rate optical connections.
