Abstract

We present a distributed, vendor-agnostic multi-MCP architecture for SDN-based automation and autonomous control of multi-vendor, multi-layer IPoDWDM networks. The framework enables E2E service lifecycle automation, closed-loop cross-layer control using GNPy model and optical telemetry, and is experimentally validated on a IPoDWDM testbed.
