In this paper, we identify challenges in developing future optical network infrastructure for new services based on technologies such as 5G, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, and we suggest approaches to handling these challenges that include a business model, architecture, and diversity. Through activities in multiservice agreement and de facto standard organizations, we have shown how the hardware abstraction layer interfaces of optical transceivers are implemented for multivendor and heterogeneous environments, coherent digital signal processor interoperability, and optical transport whiteboxes. We have driven the effort to define the transponder abstraction interface with partners. The feasibility of such implementation was verified through demonstrations and trials. In addition, we are constructing an open-transport platform by combining existing open-source software and implementing software components that automate and enhance operations. An open architecture maintains a healthy ecosystem for industry and allows for a flexible, operator-driven network.

开放式白盒架构，用于光网络和数据中心技术的智能集成[已邀请]

在本文中，我们确定了基于5G，虚拟现实和人工智能等技术为新服务开发未来的光网络基础架构时面临的挑战，并提出了应对这些挑战的方法，包括业务模型，架构和多样性。通过在多服务协议和事实上的标准组织中的活动，我们已经展示了光收发器的硬件抽象层接口是如何在多供应商和异构环境，相干数字信号处理器互操作性以及光传输白盒中实现的。我们推动了与合作伙伴一起定义应答器抽象接口的工作。通过示范和试验验证了这种实施的可行性。此外，我们正在通过结合现有的开源软件并实现自动化和增强操作的软件组件来构建一个开放式运输平台。开放的体系结构可为行业维护健康的生态系统，并允许由运营商驱动的灵活网络。
