Abstract:
A Network Depth Limited Network Followed by Compute Load Balancing (ND-NCLB) can embed more cloud demands than the existing solutions. The inventive ND-NCLB, partitions the physical network into many sub-networks, and limits the mapping of cloud demands within one of the sub-networks to avoid over provisioning of resources.

An optical amplifier that uses software-defined optical networking (SDON) technology, with a centralized controller and flexible physical hardware (the adaptive amplifier here) to optimize the power distribution among different WDM channels in the amplifier. It considers the detailed information for each channel through the information from centralized controller. It is suitable for both single line rate and mixed line rate system, and is suitable for a wavelength division multiplexing WDM system with the same signal type or different signal types.
