IP-centric control and management of optical transport networks.

IP-centric control and management of optical transport networks.

Previous techniques for the management and control of optical transport networks are proving inadequate in today's rapidly evolving multivendor environments. This article examines the issues and challenges involved in developing a standardized optical network control plane. The control of optic...
