Summary :

Large-scale disasters can lead to a severe damage or destruction of optical transport networks including the data-plane (D-plane) and control and management-plane (C/M-plane). In addition to D-plane recovery, quick recovery of the C/M-plane network in modern software-defined networking (SDN)-based fiber optical networks is essential not only for emergency control of surviving optical network resources, but also for quick collection of information related to network damage/survivability to enable the optimal recovery plan to be decided as early as possible. With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, low energy consumption, and low-cost IoT devices have been more common. Corresponding long-distance networking technologies such as low-power wide-area (LPWA) and LPWA-based mesh (LPWA-mesh) networks promise wide coverage sensing and environment data collection capabilities. We are motivated to take an infrastructure-less IoT approach to provide long-distance, low-power and inexpensive wireless connectivity and create an emergency C/M-plane network for early disaster recovery. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of fiber networks C/M-plane recovery using an IoT-based extremely narrow-band, and lossy links system (FRENLL). For the first time, we demonstrate a field-trial experiment of a long-latency/loss tolerable SDN C/M-plane that can take advantage of widely available IoT resources and easy-to-create wireless mesh networks to enable the timely recovery of the C/M-plane after disaster.
