Abstract

This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of layer-1 bandwidth-on-demand (BoD) capabilities in the Japanese academic backbone network, called SINET3. The network has a nationwide GMPLS-based layer-1 platform and provides reservation-based and signaling-based BoD services. The overall architecture for providing BoD services including its capabilities, user interface, path calculation, and interface to drive the layer-1 platform are described. Actual examples of BoD services and evaluations of the path setup/release time in the network are also presented.
