Title : Path Table based Routing Mechanism in Software-Defined Optical Transport Networks (SD-OTN) Authors : Xin Li Yu Zhou Dajiang Wang Zhenyu Wang Jiayu Wang Wenzhe Li Shan Yin Shanguo Huang Filename : draft-li-sdnrg-path-table-routing-in-sd-otn-00.txt Pages : 12 Date : 2016-04-20 Abstract: The dynamic establishment and removal of an end-to-end light-path consume a lot of time which are also the main burden of control plane in optical transport networks. With the frequent arrival and departure of services, the control plane needs to handle a large number of control and management messages to conduct path computation, resource reservation and cross connection configuration. This draft proposes a novel routing mechanism based on Path Table for software-defined optical transport networks (SD-OTN). The Path Table reserves partial activated established light-paths that can be directly used by subsequent requests for subsequent services. This new routing mechanism can reduce the network load and save routing time for some services.
