Abstract
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has recently emerged as a relevant network architecture enabling the direct programmability of forwarding functions and the effective abstraction of the underlying infrastructure. SDN has been successfully introduced in the context of packet switching (e.g., within data centers) and relevant effort has been recently devoted to extend the SDN architecture to efficiently operate on optical networks.
