The Open Transport project will address SDN and OpenFlow® Standard-based control capabilities for transport technologies of different types, including optical and wireless transport. The work will include identifying and addressing different use cases, defining the application of SDN architecture and information modeling to transport networks, and defining standard SDN interfaces for transport networks, including OpenFlow® protocol extensions and transport controller APIs.
