Abstract :
IP over optical network performance and traffic carrying capacity can be significantly improved with dynamic bandwidth allocation. For IP networks it is highly desirable to reallocate bandwidth without changing the IP virtual topology. We accomplish this using SDH/SONET virtual concatenation.
