TY - JOUR AU1 - Mobiot, Florent AU2 - Sansò, Brunilde AU3 - Girard, André AB - The increased bandwidth demand for new Internet applications suggests mapping IP directly over the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) layer. Since reliability is such a critical issue in these broadband networks, we propose an integrated design method which addresses the problem of survivability as viewed from the IP/MPLS layers but taking into account the failure mechanisms in the optical layer. This approach is becoming practical because of the emergence of generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) as a multilayer control plane that can support the signaling required for coordinating the restoration mechanisms in multiple layers.
