To realize an intelligent edge optical network, this paper firstly provided the demand under the development of edge optical network, and then presented a cross-scene, cross-spectrum, and cross-service (3-CS) architecture for edge optical networks, and finally proposed a federated transfer learning (FTL) framework, realizing a distributed intelligence edge optical network. The usability of the proposed framework is verified by simulation.
