Framework for MPLS-based control of optical SDH

The suite of protocols that defines multiprotocol label switching is in the process of enhancement to generalize its applicability to the control of optical networks. One area of prime consideration is to use these generalized MPLS protocols in upgrading the control plane of optical transport networ...
