Abstract: A method for establishing a tunnel between VTEPs includes receiving at an SDN controller a tunnel creation request to establish a VxLAN tunnel from a first VTEP to a second VTEP, determining a VxLAN tunnel of network nodes coupling the first VTEP to the second VTEP, assigning a SvcPI to the VxLAN tunnel, and sending a tunnel initiation command to the first VTEP, the tunnel initiation command causing the first VTEP to convert an Ethernet frame to a path-ID frame by adding an NSH encapsulation header and to forward the path-ID frame to the next network node in the VxLAN tunnel.

Abstract: A method implemented by a domain controller in a network comprises transmitting, by a transmitter of the domain controller to a super controller, an update message comprising path information for one or more parallel paths having a common wavelength from a source to a destination, wherein the one or more parallel paths are free of optical impairments when the update message is transmitted to the super controller, receiving, by a receiver of the domain controller from the super controller, an initiate message comprising an identifier of a path selected from the one or more parallel paths, and provisioning, by a processor of the domain controller, the path based on a verification that the path selected by the super controller is free of optical impairments.

Abstract: A method implemented by a global resource orchestrator (GRO) includes receiving, multiple virtual network function (VNF) resource container (RC) table update messages comprising multiple VNF RC tables from multiple VNF forwarders, where each of the VNF RC tables comprises information about multiple VNF instances (VNFIs), receiving VNF RC connectivity matrix update messages from the VNF forwarders, where each of the VNF RC connectivity matrix update message indicates which of the VNF RCs that a VNF forwarder sending the VNF RC connectivity matrix update message is connected to.

Abstract: A method of negotiating services. The method includes transmitting a service request to a provider device. The service request includes a base level of service at a base cost and alternative levels of service each at an alternative cost. Each of the alternative levels of service includes an alternative service parameter that has been downgraded relative to a corresponding base level service parameter. The alternative cost is less than the base cost. The method includes receiving a confirmation message from the provider device. The confirmation message indicates whether the base level of service or an alternative level of service has been accepted by the provider device. The method also includes receiving data at the base level of service or at the one of the one or more negotiated levels of service in accordance with the confirmation message.

Abstract: A method of establishing an end-to-end tunnel for a virtual network extending across multiple domains using a first network controller element managing a first domain is provided. The method includes receiving a request from a second network controller element managing the first network controller element for an intra-domain locally-learned tunnel identifier (LLTI), sending an instruction to an egress network element of the first domain to generate the intra-domain LLTI in accordance with the request, receiving the intra-domain LLTI from the egress network element in accordance with the instruction, and sending the intra-domain LLTI to an ingress network element of the first domain. A method of establishing an end-to-end tunnel for a virtual network extending across multiple domains using an inter-domain LLTI is provided.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for establishing virtual network (VN) routes includes receiving, at a Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller and from a customer network, a first routing request. The first routing request includes a destination address for a VN and a first Quality of Service (QoS) indicator associated with a first service of the VN. The SDN controller determines a first VN route in a provider network based on the first QoS indicator and the destination address. The SDN controller associates a first VN label with the first VN route. The SDN controller transmits a first routing response to the customer network. The first routing response includes the first VN label. The SDN controller transmits the first VN label and first routing information indicating the first VN route to an edge router of the provider network.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising an application cross-stratum optimization (CSO) gateway (ACG) coupled to an application layer that handles a plurality of servers, a network CSO gateway (NCG) coupled to a network layer that handles a plurality of network nodes and configured to communicate with the ACG using a CSO protocol (CSOP), and a CSO interface established between the ACG and the NCG that enables the exchange of a plurality of CSOP messages to allow joint application-network resource allocation, provisioning, and optimization. Also disclosed is a network apparatus implemented method comprising sending a user profile from a user plane to an application plane, sending an application profile from the application plane to a network plane via a CSO interface between an ACG and a NCG, and sending network capability information from the network plane to the application plane via the CSO interface.

Abstract: A method implemented by a central controller is provided. The method includes receiving traffic monitoring information from a client, and sending a traffic monitor request to a network controller, the traffic monitor request requesting the network controller to monitor one or more traffic parameters based on the traffic monitoring information. The method further includes receiving a traffic report from the network controller, and responsive to determining that a monitored traffic parameter in the traffic report does not satisfy a condition specified by the traffic monitoring information, initiating a scaling operation based on data contained in the traffic report.
