Abstract :
We describe our implementation choices and experiences gained from developing a GMPLS-based control plane test-bed prototype for end-lo-end services. The prototype includes control plane components of routing and signaling protocols and provides rapid provisioning and restoration of connections across multiple optical network domains. Our experience in implementing the multi-domain signaling showed that it was possible to simply adapt the signaling schemes within the OIF UNI specifications. Our test-bed measurements achieved average 27ms provisioning time and 16.3 ms restoration time for connections crossing three domains.
