Abstract

Current generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) based control plane is still facing some technical challenges in terms of feasibility, scalability, and performance, which prevent it from being deployed in the next-generation all-optical network. Sensor Technology is proposed to be used in this paper for enhancement of control plane on performance monitoring and fault management. Two models are presented for integration of control plane and sensor networks, as well as a new routing-based mechanism for notification of the performance and fault information. Experimental results show the difference between the two models and the advantages of the presented routing-based notification mechanism.
