This paper presents a work in progress for the design of a software defined wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical network with dynamic lightpath as a service. The main aim of the study is to fully understand the effects of incorporating optimization algorithms within SDN-based switch to ensure a resilient data plane of the programmable network.enSoftware defined networkSDNWavelength Division MultiplexingWDMLightpathRestorationOpenFlowOFConference PresentationNkosi, M.
