the technology is called OBS (optical burst switching) which is the optical equivalent of Dynamic Spectrum Allocation of the wireless world. OBS has been the holy grail of networking for 20 years but has only recently been cracked by Intune. OBS enables the creation of optical traffic paths in nano-seconds or the equivalent time it takes to transmit a packets. This technical breakthrough enables OTT software services control the network directly via web services API's which changes everything. It's kinda like the Apple app store model of the Networked world and it is only made possible with OBS technology in metro core networks as the network must be able to respond on demand in nano-second time frames. Currently metro core networks are very static. Fundamentally network digital services will create new opportunities for sw developers in the open access exemplar program.
