A 1+1 protection scheme is implemented in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) packet-over-optical transport test-bed, achieving seamless recov-ery of the 7-1 split option from an optical link failure in the fronthaul.3eng5GResiliencyFunctional splitSDNProtectionGENIconference proceedingsTelecomunicacionesopen access
