Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)offers superior characteristics for reducing carriers’operating expenses related to network engineering thanks to the introduction of an automated control plane applicable to a range of switching layers. As connections can be established within a second, GMPLS technology is also an ideal solution for carriers who want to improve customer service and generate new revenues through bandwidth-ondemand provisioning. Designed to support meshed optical networks, GMPLS-based distributed control planes enable automation of network resource management and discovery, dynamic provisioning of connections, and their recovery.
