The Emerging Control Hierarchy for Service Provider SDN-Enabled Networks
This white paper examines how the control hierarchy for SDN networks is converging toward a three-tier structure, with a service orchestrator, a network controller, and multiple domain controllers. The benefits are plenty, including faster innovation, a stable ecosystem of collaborating parties, and flexibility to replace building blocks with minimal effort and without vendor lock-in.
Questions Every Service Provider Should Ask
Selecting the right IP/optical network controller is critical for end-to-end service delivery in a multi-layer, multi-vendor, multi-domain network. This technical brief goes over the most important questions we suggest service providers ask suppliers when determining whether the solution can truly deliver comprehensive, accurate visibility and control.

Understanding the SDN-Driven IP & Optical Renaissance
Based on a webinar with Light Reading and Nokia, this white paper provides a detailed look at the new SDN-based IP and optical integration renaissance, including the market drivers, technology enablers, primary applications and use cases, leading operator success stories, and work yet to be done.
NetFusion Discovery System Description
This white paper describes the NetFusion Intelligence and Automation App Platform, which enables multivendor discovery of the Optical layer, IP/MPLS layer, and cross-connections between the two layers. The accompanying NetFusion Explorer UI enables you to visualize and explore this multi-layer network model in near real-time, showing optically-aware IP/MPLS routing and conversely, IP/MPLS-informed optical paths.
Webinar: Heavy Reading, Sedona, and Nokia discuss SDN-Controlled Converged IP/Optical Networks
Heavy Reading recently hosted a webinar on “The SDN-Driven IP-Optical Renaissance.” The speakers were Sterling Perrin, senior analyst at Heavy Reading, Ori Gerstel, Sedona’s CTO and co-founder, and Steve Vogelsang, President and CTO of Nokia’s IP/Optical Business Group.

In this video, Sedona’s Director of Systems Engineering, Rached Blili, demonstrates the powerful capabilities of the NetFusion platform and its NetFusion Explorer user interface.
Multilayer Requirements for NBI of Optical Domain Controllers
This paper focuses on requirements for the NBI of Optical domain controllers in a multilayer architecture. The NBI of the optical domain controller has four main functions: topology discovery, monitoring, provisioning, and path computation. These requirements generally apply to both DWDM and OTN systems, with the obvious omission of feasibility limitations that only apply to the DWDM layer.
Multilayer Requirements for NBI of IP/MPLS Domain Controllers
This paper focuses on requirements for the NBI of IP/MPLS domain controllers in a multilayer architecture. The NBI of the IP/MPLS domain controller has four main functions: topology and traffic discovery, monitoring, provisioning, and simulations for what-if analysis.
Sedona Sessions: Easing the Road to SDN, with Multilayer Control
In the third episode of our Sedona Sessions series, CTO Ori Gerstel explains why multi-layer control is pivotal to SDN deployment. Multi-layer control turns what is often perceived as a monumental and daunting task into a manageable, evolutionary process.
