Scope and Objectives WHAT ? Propose GMPLS-based distributed control-plane for G.709 capable networks ITU-T G.709 version 1 Recommendation accepted in February 2001 with Amendment (October’01) including ODU TDM WHY ? G.709 (next step after SDH/Sonet) support for Terabit bandwidth services per fiber using DWDM systems and Optical Channels at 2.5, 10 and 40 Gbps GMPLS is THE signalling paradigm for Packet, TDM and Optical Networks (opaque - transparent - all-optical) G.709 enhanced features combined with GMPLS set of features is the key issue for intelligent optical networks |
