摘要： A first telecommunications edge cloud (TEC) element deployed between a client and a packet network includes a TEC hardware layer including storage resources, networking resources, and computing resources, wherein the computing resources include a plurality of processors. The networking resources are configured to transmit a first general update message to a plurality of second TEC elements within a federation, transmit a first application-specific update message to the second TEC elements within the federation, and receive a plurality of second update messages from the second TEC elements that are associated with the federation. The federation includes the second TEC elements and the first TEC element and shares resources to provide data and services to a requesting client. The storage resources are coupled to the computing resources and the networking resources and configured to store a second generic resource container and second application-specific resource container for each of the second TEC elements.

摘要： A method for virtualizing an optical network, comprising: abstracting optical resource information corresponding to resources within the optical network, constructing a plurality of candidate paths for one or more optical reachability graph (ORG) node pairs, determining whether the candidate paths are optical reachable paths, and creating an ORG link between each ORG node pair when at least one optical reachable path exists for the ORG node pair, wherein linking the ORG node pairs creates an ORG. In another embodiment, a computer program product comprising executable instructions when executed by a processor causes a node to perform the following: determine an optical network's optical-electrical-optical (OEO) conversion capability, partition a plurality of service sites into one or more electrical reachability graph (ERG) nodes, determine a grooming capability for each ERG node, and construct a plurality of electrical-layer reach paths between the ERG nodes to form an ERG.
