Title：[Special Invited Talk] Energy Efficient and Enhanced-type Data Centric Network (E3-DCN) and related virtualization technologies — Network Virtualization and Smart Photonic/Energy Networks —
Abstract： The New Generation Network supports network virtualization technique that creates multi-slice network on one physical network. E3-DCN is newly proposed using optical packet switching network and optical path switching network. Optical packet network has high-network efficiency and flexibility. On the other hand, optical path network has huge band width. Combination of both packet and path technique can create energy efficient network. In addition, virtualization techniques apply to future photonic backbone and also smart energy network are also highlighted.
