Some Open Issues in the Optical Networks Control Plane

by Josep Solé-pareta, Xavier Masip-bruin, Sergio Sanchez-lopez, Salvatore Spadaro, Davide Careglio
"... The growth of bandwidth demand for data traffic drives the evolution of the current transport networks towards the introduction of the Automatic Switched Optical Network (ASON). Introducing automatic switching capabilities in optical networks means designing and implementing control functionalities. ..."

. Such as functionalities are hosted at the network Control Plane, and mainly consist of providing signalling and routing mechanisms distributed throughout the network. This paper addresses some issues still under discussion on the definition of a suitable control plane for optical core networks. Specifically, we deal

CONTRACT: Incorporating Coordination into the IP Network Control Plane

by Zheng Cai, et al. , 2010
"... This paper presents the CONTRACT framework to address a fundamental deficiency of the IP network control plane, namely the lack of coordination between an IGP and other control functions involved in achieving a high level objective. For example, an IGP’s default automatic reaction to a network failu ..."
