Second optical signaling, routing and management test event
Service providers continue to look to developments in Optical Signaling, Routing and Management (OSRM) technologies to provide increased network automation that will allow them to offer new, diversified services while concurrently reducing operational costs. OSRM enables the dynamic creation, maintenance and and tear down of connections within and between optical networks.
Ongoing OSRM test events at the University of New Hampshire’s InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) are bringing together service providers and telecom equipment vendors in this emerging market to demonstrate and facilitate standards based interoperability. As part of this effort, the UNH-IOL recently conducted a Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) test event. GMPLS is one of several OSRM technologies that Service providers can utilize to automate the delivery and management of bandwidth how and deliver to their customers. The results of the independent GMPLS testing conducted at UNH-IOL are detailed in this white paper, and suggest that significant progress continues to be made in the areas of OSRM standards development and vendor implementation; this progress, in turn, will enable service providers to sell optical services to customers with greater efficiency, differentiation, and profitability.
