OIF finishes Transport SDN Framework document
The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) has published "Framework for Transport SDN: Components and APIs," a whitepaper that describes how software-defined networking (SDN) could be applied to multi-domain carrier networks. The SDN framework document identifies open APIs for Transport SDN based on a melding of the SDN layered architecture and the ITU-T ASON functional element model for optical network control.
