A perspective on photonic multiprotocol label switching.

Various MPLS-based IP over WDM integration techniques are considered in this article. In particular, this includes the circuit-switching MPλS framework for providing logical IP-layer topologies over optical lightpath routing networks. Additionally, an optical code label switching technique for photo...
