Abstract
A software-defined network multi-layer controller (SDN-MLC) may communicate with multiple layers of a telecommunication network. The SDN-MLC may have an optimization algorithm that helps manage, in near real-time, the multiple layers of the telecommunication network.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- obtaining multiple layer information associated with multiple layers of a telecommunications network, the multiple layer information comprising optical layer information and router layer information;
- based on the multiple layer information, determining a configuration change of a component of the optical layer or the router layer;
- and
- based on the determining of the configuration change of the component of the optical layer or the router layer, providing instructions to effectuate the change of the component.

A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a device, multiple layer information associated with multiple layers of a telecommunications network, the multiple layer information comprising optical layer information and router layer information;
- based on the multiple layer information, determining, by the device, a configuration change of a component of the optical layer or the router layer;
- and
- based on the determining of the configuration change of the component of the optical layer or the router layer, providing, by the device, instructions to effectuate the change of the component.

A system comprising:
- a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer;
- a router;
- and
- a software-defined multi-layer controller communicatively connected with the router and the reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer, the software-defined multi-layer controller comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- obtaining multiple layer information associated with multiple layers of a telecommunications network, the multiple layer information comprising optical layer information;
- based on the multiple layer information, determining, by the device, a configuration change of a component of the optical layer or the router layer;
- and
- based on the determining of the configuration change of the component of the optical layer or the router layer, providing, by the device, instructions to effectuate the change of the component.
