Time: 10am


Room: EV 3.309

ABSTRACT

This talk will present recent achievements of High Performance Network group in University of Bristol on creating a fully programmable, ML assisted and softwareized  optical network with their applications. This talk will show how combination of deep network learning assisted by AI, advanced network monitoring and programmable hardware  can be used to virtualize network functions deep into transport layer. Furthermore, utilizing these capabilities, the talk will present several use cases including a new approach for creating quantum secured optical network, as well as a real life implementation of the presented technologies in the first end-to-end 5G test-bed deployed in Bristol City.
