Abstract :
We present policy-based management, based on the IETF framework, of optical networks having a GMPLS (generalized multiprotocol label switching) based control plane to realize integration of the control and management planes. A business model centered on bandwidth trading is used to demonstrate the need for policy-enabled GMPLS (PE-GMPLS) in the "photonic IP" age.
