Abstract :
We present experimental results demonstrating that generalised multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) with resource reservation protocol (RSVP) can be applied to optical/electrical mesh networks to yield ultra-fast provisioning and restoration times competitive with SONET rings, confirming results previously predicted by simulation.
