GMPLS Control Plane Untrusted interfaces ISP 1 ISP 2 ISP 3 O-UNI Client LSR signals for an explicit optical path using GMPLS signalling Or client LSR signals connectivity requirements using O-UNI Setup of optical path MPLS TE-LSP runs over optical path

GMPLS models Operator 1 Operator 2 Operator 3 UNI Peer (Integrated) Single routing domain for all routers and optical cross-connects Single operator owning IP and Optical network Overlay No topology information has to be shared between domains Optical network can serve multiple client networks Hybrid Combining Overlay and Peer IP/Optical operator can also provide wholesale services UNI
7
Evolution approach to Intelligent Optical Networking Short term: centralized implementation of an automatically controlled transport network Centralized provisioning (TMN) Add UNI interface to the management system in the optical network (indirect signaling interface) Start on a boundary router or management system in the client domain e.g., out-of-fiber / out-of-band UNI Allows clients to query the server to set up light-paths The server performs CAC, calculates & establishes the light-path. Present architecture features... No direct signaling interface between routers and OXCs applicable to non-GMPLS enabled networks Aids in implementing complex capacity optimization schemes The near-term provisioning solution in optical networks with interconnected multi-vendor optical sub-networks.
8
OIF UNI Focussing on traffic engineering Use of service management system to handle service level agreements between client and Transmission Use of OIF UNI - lightpath create/delete/query/... Dynamic connectivity driven by IP traffic patterns Dynamic path set-up process Optical as well as SDH/SONET transport Transport Management IP Service Management - TE Tool - Centralized Management Approach Any Transport network Other client’s applications

Allows the Operator to sell “bandwidth on demand” services to client ISPs and be Carriers’ Carrier Set-up of flexible and guaranteed optical services: any-time (only when and for the time needed) @any-point (supporting flexible topologies) @any-type (with different flavors in terms of bandwidth, protection, …) with a guaranteed O-SLA bandwidth on demand services guaranteed according to an SLA that can be easily demonstrated with specific constraints (e.g., verification against O-VPN contract) Signaled from client Ease inter-operability using the OIF UNI standard Protocol across different vendors of Transport Networks IP, ATM Clients and the Transport Network. No impact on network elements New role for Transport Management
