Description
Integrate Support for IP-E2E-Optical SDN controllers to manage hierarchical virtual topologies. Whenever a virtual link create/change/delete is requested to IP SDN Controller, it should coordinate with E2E SDN Controller to update its virtual network topology, and the later should delegate to the Optical SDN controller to provision/update/teardown the corresponding lightpaths and transponders.
Demo or definition of done
ECOC'24 paper/demo [ref-1] is under preparation. It will showcase create/update/delete workflows according to description.

Feature Design (for New-Features)
Clarifications to Expected Behavior Changes
None
Assumptions
Optical SDN controller is able to expose its internal topology, and accept requests to add/update/delete lightpaths using a digital signal rate--based request (only specifying src/dst node/port and capacity in Gbps.
