Short Course at OFC'14
San Francisco, March 2014
Ori Gerstel will give a new short course on Sunday, March 9th, between 17:00-20:00.
The course (SC411) is entitled: "Multi-layer Interaction in the Age of Agile Optical Networking".
The course will cover:
-
Possible interactions between the optical layer and client layers such as routers or OTN
-
The value these interactions provide and how to quantify it
-
The role of control plane and SDN in multi-layer interworking
-
Different architectures and their pros/cons

Plenary talk
Beijing, November 2013
Asia Communications and Photonics Conference (ACP) 2013 plenary talk on “The Age of Multi-Layer Networking”. The talk focussed on the challneges faced by optical network operators and how they can be addressed. A key component to addressing these challenegs is IP-optical interaction. The talk explained how SDN can help multi-layer interworking and argued that a hybrid distributed-centralized model is best suited to address the requiremetns of the network. This talk was given while still at Cisco.
