Motivation: IP+Optical Network Core IP Transport Network architecture IP + Optical network architecture with GMPLS control Optical Core Transport Network Not only the IP transport service L2 services, L1 services GMPLS Core-Edge Routers MPLS and GMPLS migration function GMPLS IP/MPLS Network GMPLS router GMPLS OXC GMPLS IP/MPLS Network Lambda Path Page 6
Multi-carrier IP+Optical NW (1) Inter-carrier IP/MPLS layer NW connection No end-to-end lambda path, 1 BGP session in IP/MPLS layer Carrier A IP/MPLS Network GMPLS OXC Inter-Carrier Connection Points : between Routers IP/MPLS Network GMPLS OXC Carrier B Page 7
Multi-carrier IP+Optical NW (2) Inter-Carrier connection points are assigned between OXCs End-to-end lambda path, 2 BGP sessions in Optical NW layer and IP/MPLS layer (if required). Carrier A OXC Lambda Path OXC Carrier B Page 8
Heterogeneous NW technologies Overlay architecture for L1/L2 services UNI interworking and multi-layer Carrier A (ITU-T ASON overlay architecture) OXC SDH path OXC Lambda paths Carrier B (IETF GMPLS overlay architecture) Page 9

Hierarchical inter-carrier interface architecture (1) Basic IP + Optical architecture model How to determine in TDM/L2SC and PSC layers? GMPLS/ASON Network for Carrier-A UNI (PSC) (L2SC) PSC L2SC TDM LSC/FSC GMPLS/ASON Network for Carrier-B PSC L2SC TDM LSC/FSC UNI (PSC) (L2SC) (TDM) (LSC) (TDM) (LSC/ FSC) OXC/PXC (LSC/ FSC) Page 11
Problems in the Multi-layer RSVP message may not be exchanged between node B and node E. Both I-NNI and should be worked on the same port.

Proposed solution: pseudo node Pseudo Nodes are defined in each layer OXC/PXC should supports upper layer functions Scalability?
