Experimental evaluation of delay-sensitive traffic routing in multi-layer (packet-optical) aggregation networks for fixed mobile convergence

An experimental evaluation of delay-sensitive traffic routing within GMPLS multi-layer (MPLS-TP/WSON) aggregation networks for fixed mobile convergence is presented. We compare the performance of two novel routing algorithms designed to fulfill both the delay and bandwidth service requirements while exploiting the multi-layer (grooming) objectives.
