ABSTRACT:
Space information network is used for real
time acquiring, transmitting and processing the space information on the space
platform, which provides significant communication services for communication,
navigation positioning and science exploration. In this paper, the architecture
of Software Defined Space Optical Network (SDSON) based on cloud platform is
designed by means of Software Defined Optical Network (SDON) and cloud
services. The new architecture combining centralized and distributed
management-control mechanism is a multi-layer and multi-domain architecture
with powerful computing and storage ability. Moreover, reliable service and
unreliable service communication models employed in the space information
network are proposed considering the characteristic of Disruption/Delay
Tolerant Network (DTN). Finally, the functional verification and demonstration
are performed on our optical experimental network platform.
