Ori Gerstel Sedona Systems, Israel
The Need for SDN in Orchestration of IP over Optical Multi-Vendor Networks
Abstract: We explain why distributed control lacks the ability to optimally control networks with multiple transport domains or both IP and optical layers. We then propose a practical architecture to fix these issues and experimentally demonstrate it over commercial IP/transport gear.
Biography:
Ori Gerstel is the founder and CTO of Sedona Systems – a startup specializing in Multi-layer SDN control for SP networks. Until the end of 2013, Ori was a Principal Engineer at Cisco, where he was responsible for driving the architecture of router-transport integration. Before joining Cisco in 2002, Ori held senior architecture positions at Tellabs and Nortel, where he architected the first mesh optical network and the first fully switched optical network respectively. He started his work in optical networking at IBM, where the first commercial DWDM system was developed. For these contributions, he was awarded the grade of IEEE Fellow (2008) and OSA Fellow (2014). Ori published ~100 papers in the main international conferences and journals in the field, as well as several book chapters. He holds over 35 granted patents on optical networks, and a similar number of pending patents. He served as conference committee member and co-chair of several communication conferences and has been regularly invited to teach short courses and attend panels. He also serves as editor-in-chief for the primary journal for optical networking (JOCN) and as a steering committee member for the OFC conference. Ori holds a Ph.D. degree from the Technion.
