| SDN, network programmability and AI-based automation in disaggregated optical transport networks – Evolution to open, resilient and efficient network operation Achim Autenrieth (Adtran Networks, DE) |
||
| Chair: Michal Pioro (PL) | ||
Abstract
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Automation have emerged as powerful technologies for the cost-efficient and resilient operation of disaggregated optical transport networks. This keynote talk will delve into the recent advances, research results, and future challenges within the realm of SDN and Network Automation for Disaggregated Optical Transport Networks.
We will briefly explore the evolution of network management and control towards SDN and network automation techniques. Over the past ten years, significant strides have been made in the pursuit of more agile, efficient, and open network infrastructures, including the development of intelligent orchestration systems, dynamic wavelength provisioning, and real-time network optimization. These advances have led to enhancing network flexibility, scalability, and resource utilization while reducing operational complexity. Moreover, we will present recent research highlights from the CELTIC-NEXT project AI-NET-PROTECT that showcase the use-cases and benefits of SDN and Network Automation in improving network efficiency, reliability, and ensuring robust security in disaggregated OTNs. The keynote will also discuss future challenges, such as ensuring end-to-end network visibility, handling massive data volumes generated by IoT and 5G, and integrating AI and machine learning for predictive network management and closed-loop automation. Acknowledgements This work has been partially funded in the framework of the CELTIC-NEXT project AI-NET-PROTECT (Project ID C2019/3-4) by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (#16KIS1279K). |

| TSN Timing QoS Mechanisms: What Did We Learn over the Past 10 Years? Nicolas Navet (University of Luxembourg, LU) |
||
| Chair: Michal Pioro (PL) | ||
Abstract
It has been more than 10 years since the inception of the Time-Sensitive Networking Task Group (TG) in IEEE802.1. Since then, TSN has become a rich toolbox of mechanisms and protocols to address Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements pertaining to timing and reliability. While IEEE 802.1CB, AS and Qci are natural choices for dependability, the designer has much more possibilities when it comes to timing QoS. The selection and configuration of a suitable TSN scheduling solution is not straightforward, as many mechanisms are available (priorities, preemption, CBS, TAS, CQF, ATS), most of them being complex to configure, and they can be used in a combined manner to meet the needs of applications comprising mixed types of traffic.
In this talk, based on the academic literature and the observation of industrial practices, we review the well-understood and the emerging use-cases of the different timing QoS mechanisms and what we have learned in terms of their configuration. Ultimately, this talk aims at shedding new light on what to expect from TSN QoS mechanisms and how to introduce the least complexity needed to meet the application's timing requirements.
