Model of transport SDN and MPLS-TP for T-SDN controller

Abstract

SDN (Software Defined Networking) is an approach to computer networking that allows network administrators to manage network services through abstraction of higher-level functionality. It has attracted attentions for even transport networks. For the management of transport network service: especially MPLS-TP(Multiprotocol Label Switching - Transport Profile), we use T-SDN(Transport SDN) controller which manages network services and resources between NBI(North Bound Interface) and SBI(South Bound Interface), based on OpenDaylight. This paper proposes the model of transport SDN and MPSL-TP. With using proposed model, T-SDN controller can make an intra/inter-domain network service easily.
