An experience in implementing network management for a GMPLS network

The management of optical networks and their components is usually performed through proprietary systems. This paper describes an experience on implementing a management system for multilayer Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) [1] networks and the associated integrated network provisioning strategy. The main characteristics of this solution are the interface connecting the control plane and the management plane, the management application framework itself, and further its joint use with a Policy-based Management (PBM) system for accurate provisioning. The experience is based on the definition, design, and implementation of the overall management system in the ITEA Project TBONES for the support of both switched and soft-permanent connections.
