Multi-Tenant Transport Networks with SDN/NFV

1. Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC)

We propose the combination of optical network virtualization and network function virtualization (NFV) for deployment of on-demand OpenFlow-controlled virtual optical networks (VON). Each tenant SDN controller is run on the cloud, so the tenant can control the deployed VON. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed use case and provides implementation details in the ADRENALINE testbed of an NFV orchestrator, which is able to provide multitenancy on top of an heterogeneous transport network by means of network orchestration and virtualization.
