Instead there are two use cases to be considered in the implemenation works that are currently ongoing: * Primary: optical domain SDN-controller for the CoCSN project * Secondary: SDN-controller for our local labs to manage an Ethernet-based lab environment + +## Structure of this Memo + +This memo starts with this introduction that sets the stage for the theoretical underpinings of the SDN-controller +and the acutal implementation (and the various choice for this). Chapter 2 discusses the related work and chapter 3 +outlines the theoretical foundations related to the control of networks and their relation to SDN. Chapter 4 uses +the output of Chapter 3 to define the conceptual design of the goSDN controller and some discussions about the pro +and cons of conceptual design. Chapter 5 describes the actual design of the current goSDN implementation and is +meant to be a compendium for the source code. -- GitLab
