Inter-layer traffic engineering with hierarchical-PCE in MPLS-TP over wavelength switched optical networks

Opt Express. 2012 Dec 31;20(28):29137-42. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.029137.

Abstract

We present the implementation and validation of an Inter-layer Traffic Engineering (TE) architecture based on a hierarchical path computation element (PCE), where the parent PCE is notified of established optical layer Label Switched Paths that induce packet traffic engineering (TE) links, thus not requiring full topology visibility. We summarize the architecture, the control plane extensions and its experimental evaluation in a control plane testbed.
