An analysis of the features of MPLS and Generalized MPLS and their application to Optical Networks, with reference to the Link Management Protocol and Optical UNI.
With the success of MPLS in packet switched IP networks, optical network providers have driven a process to generalize the applicability of MPLS to
cover optical networks as well. This white paper discusses some of the
technical challenges that have arisen in the process of applying MPLS to
optical networks, and the technologies that have now been developed to address those challenges, including Generalized MPLS (GMPLS), Link Management Protocol (LMP) and OIF UNI.
