Abstract :
In response to the need for higher flexibility in optical networks, a generalised multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) protocol suite is currently under standardisation. However, in these standards a label switched path (LSP) hierarchy is defined that only considers circuit-switched optical networks. The paper aims at broadening the scope of this hierarchy to more advanced optical networking technologies.
