Abstract :
A unified control plane is necessary to be designed for multi-layer optical networks, especially for IP over WDM networks to improve the performance and efficiency of the entire networks. This paper focuses on the framework of PCE-based unified control plane, and proposes some strategies for different optimization objectives.
