%X In this work we investigate the coupling of Flex-E and X-Ethernet technologies as a means to realize interface slicing and fast switching respectively. Flex-E is investigated as a key technology that is able to split a physical interface into isolated sub-channels, decouple MAC rate from PHY rate and achieve hard bandwidth isolation. X-Ethernet technology introduces Ethernet PCS switching, eliminates table lookup and buffer queuing and will be investigated as a fast switching mechanism that is exploiting the PCS layer relay. We present evaluation results from implementation activities that showcase the ability of an integrated Flex-E/X-Ethernet solution to enable network slicing features in transport networks. Furthermore we present a technical approach on the way the control plane of Flex-E/X-Ethernet network can be integrated with an orchestration and management solution.
