The fast development of multi-layer packet-over-optical networks has made network monitoring and troubleshooting increasingly complicated. This has stimulated people to combine machine learning (ML…
Network function virtualization (NFV) in elastic optical datacenter interconnections (EO-DCIs) enables flexible and timely deployment of network services. However, as the service provisioning of vi…
A hybrid optical/electrical datacenter network (HOE-DCN) integrates the benefits of electrical packet switching (EPS) and optical circuit switching (OCS) for better architectural scalability. Meanw…
This article studies the problem of virtual network (VNT) slicing in datacenter interconnections (DCIs), and proposes a novel service framework to better balance the tradeoff between cost-effective…
To closely monitor the performance of lightpaths in an elastic optical network (EON), people need to rely on real-time and fine-grained spectrum monitoring. This, however, will generate tremendous …
For datacenter networks (DCNs), it is always important to have an effective network orchestration scheme that can coordinate the usages of IT and bandwidth resources timely. In this paper, we consi…
Recently, the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and software-defined networking (SDN) has attracted intensive research interests because it realizes and promotes AI-assisted network autom…
