Controlling LSPs in an ORION network

New networking paradigms try to combine packet switching and circuit switching, keeping the best of both worlds and getting rid of the drawbacks. One promising technology is overspill routing in optical networks (ORION). In this paper we develop a control technique to set up LSPs in this novel network environment. It is based on the GMPLS paradigm and needs no extra control messages.
