Abstract :
New network management tools such as user controlled lightpath provisioning, UCLP, have appeared to allow institutions and research centres manage their own dark fiber and wavelength networks. Early versions of UCLP have been released and its functionality has been demonstrated; but two main drawbacks have been identified: only one switch model is supported and there is no topology discovery/routing schema. The work presented in this paper overcomes these limitations.
