RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Experimental validation of an SDN residential network management proposal over a GPON testbed A1 Merayo Álvarez, Noemí A1 Pintos, David de A1 Aguado Manzano, Juan Carlos A1 Miguel Jiménez, Ignacio de A1 Durán Barroso, Ramón José A1 Fernández Reguero, Patricia A1 Lorenzo Toledo, Rubén Mateo A1 Abril Domingo, Evaristo José K1 Optical networks K1 Redes ópticas K1 Software defined networking K1 Redes definidas por software AB We propose, and experimentally demonstrate, an SDN (Software Defined Networking) new management solution for legacy GPONs (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks), which allows users to dynamically control their residential networks by means of a management application. In this way, users can customize the allocation of resources (and set constraints, if desired) to connected devices in their residential network, fast and efficiently. This real-time customization enables new business models for network operators and service providers. As a proof of concept and to validate the management solution, we demonstrate, in a testbed environment, the operation of a dynamic network scenario where an operator has a business model in which users have a contracted basic bandwidth, but they are allowed to increase it temporarily when using highly demanding services.
