Abstract :
This paper investigates the advantages of multi-layer methods of supplying moderate to high IP bandwidth either on demand for end users or for traffic engineering purposes over a shared, heterogeneous, wide area network infrastructure. In particular we show how emerging data plane and control plane mechanisms can be combined to deliver such services in an efficient and cost effective manner.
