Demonstration of interworking operation of GMPLS-embedded DWDM Equipments and PXCs for Reliable All-Optical Switching Networks

Interworking operation of GMPLS-embedded DWDM equipments and PXCs was successfully demonstrated in a large-scale GMPLS testbed consisting of six PXCs and eight DWDMs to achieve a carrier-grade all-optical switching network for the first time.
