Abstract
A software defined network, in accordance with some examples of the disclosure, may be used to optimizing traffic across a multi-layer inter-exchange for applications like automated private peering by incorporating packet switching along with OTN and/or optical switching into a converged system. Participants in private peering may have ports into the multi-layer inter-exchange, some to the L2 fabric which supports multi-tenant peering and some to the L1 or L0 fabric for higher-performance private peering.
