Light-weighted services awareness scheme of the IP and optical converged network

As internet services newly emerge with diversity and complexity, great challenges and demands are presented to both IP network and optical network to support various services. Aimed to solve this problem, this paper proposes a light-weighted echo-state-network (LW-ESN) based services awareness scheme of the software defined IP and optical converged network. This LW-ESN model adopts the ring topology structure inside and generates the probability output result to determine the quality of service policy of IP and optical converged network. Moreover, the LW-ESN based service awareness engine is also designed in controller node of IP and optical converged network to perform services awareness by obtaining service traffic parameters from IP and optical layers, together with necessary working procedure. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is able to improve the services-oriented supporting ability in terms of blocking rate and delay time.
