Automatic multi-layer integration in optical-circuit-packet transport network

For the requirements from increased video traffic and energy efficiency, the dynamic guaranteed broadband path also required as a key function. The situation that directly affects profit and loss will lead to build low cost equipment. In packet transmission layer, MPLS-TP transport mechanism with combined with sub layer - OTN/TDM and WDM optical technology is a solution to meet the needs. Multi-layer network system will enable the telecom service provider to provide various service in real-time with reduced OPEX/CAPEX. This paper represents the implementation and the integration test result of packet-optical integrated switch with its automatic multi-layer path control. The multi-layer optimal paths in broadband network maintained in management, control and forwarding plane components. The research network test provides the verification of the functionality, performance with reliability in converged optical-circuit-packet transport.
