N2 - Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) provide an alluring vision of how to transform broadcast, contribution and content distribution networks. In our laboratory we assembled a multi-vendor, multi-layer media network environment that used SDN controllers and NFV-based applications to schedule, coordinate, and control media flows across broadcast and contribution network infrastructure. — This paper will share our experiences of investigating, designing and experimenting in order to build the next generation broadcast and contribution network. We will describe our experience of dynamic workflow automation of high-bandwidth broadcast and media services across multi-layered optical network environment using SDN-based technologies for programmatic forwarding plane control and orchestration of key network functions hosted on virtual machines. Finally, we will outline the prospects for the future of how packet and optical technologies might continue to scale to support the transport of increasingly growing broadcast media.
