Abstract

The provisioning of lightpaths in an IP-centric wavelength routed network requires a control framework for the establishment and maintenance of optical virtual circuits. This framework should consider scalable protocols required to handle the increasing network complexities/dimensionalities and interact with IP routing and traffic policy management protocols [2]. Moreover, as in conventional IP networks, Optical Cross-Connects are to be considered IP addressable devices, capable of receive and distribute information regarding the different performance parameters relevant to the optical transport network. A self-contained protocol paradigm is no longer valid and co-operation is expected between the upper network layers and the optical layer appended at the bottom of the protocol stack. Hence, a novel Multiprotocol Lambda Switching control framework is proposed based on conventional MPLS Traffic Engineering and QoS Routing using OSPF, thus migrating these concepts into the optical domain.
