Lightweight RSVP-TE extensions to account for Shared Regenerators in Translucent Optical Networks

Lightweight GMPLS extensions are proposed to account for shared regenerators in translucent optical networks during lightpath set up. Low blocking is obtained without requiring any routing protocol modification.
