Abstract :
A network-to-network interface (NNI) offers multi-domain interworking via standard protocols, extending provisioning and restoration capabilities end-to-end. Our contributions are: (a) a fully functional NNI prototype (the first to our knowledge), (b) the demonstration that existing distributed protocols suffice, augmented with a few simple, novel extensions.
