            Abstract : 
Monolithic path control and protection in a multi-layer optical network have been successfully demonstrated using a newly developed automatic-hierarchical-path-setup mechanism and protection mechanism. Fast recovery within 30 msec and efficient resource utilization were achieved in a 32-node test system
