Sedona’s NetFusion IP/Optical Network controller successfully fulfilled the role of multidomain controller in the Optical Internetworking Forum’s (OIF) Transport API (T-API) interoperability demonstration late this year. NetFusion was the top-level controller and orchestrator of services across multiple optical domains and the central interface to provisioning applications for the entire test network in Telefonica’s lab.
In this OIF demonstration, Sedona’s NetFusion, working with lower-level domain controllers, successfully discovers topology and services across multiple vendor domains (Coriant, NEC, Ciena). In a second phase of testing, NetFusion, again working with lower-level domain controllers, provisions an IP link and the underlying optical path across multiple IP and optical network domains from the same three vendors.
