    To enhance the communication quality of OpenFlow controlled all-optical networks, an optical signal-to-noise ratio comprehensive-awareness (OSNR-CA) model based lightpath control scheme is proposed. This approach transforms main physical-layer optical impairments into OSNR value, and takes this comprehensive OSNR value of the optical signal along the lightpath into consideration, when establishing the lightpath for the connection request using Open- Flow protocol. Moreover, the proposed scheme makes full advantages of the OSNR monitoring function in each node, and assigns the lightpath according to the comprehensive-OSNR value by extending messages of OpenFlow protocol, in order to guarantee the reliable establishment of the lightpath. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better performance in terms of packet loss rate and lightpath establishment time.
