Abstract

Network control for IP-over-optical networks can be classified as falling under the overlay, augmented, or peer models. In the first two models, the IP layer and the optical layer only have the resource information of their respective layers. In the peer model, all the resource information is known to both layers; hence, it can potentially achieve better resource utilization. Unfortunately, the peer model approach is generally not acceptable to the operators if the IP layer and optical layer belong to two different administrations. In addition, it is much more complex and generally seen as not feasible in the near future In this paper, we propose an enquiry-based provisioning scheme based on the overlay model which can, however, utilize resources in both layers as in the peer model approach. Two simple and novel algorithms for routing labeled-switched path (LSP) requests for this provisioning scheme are proposed. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithms perform significantly better than other routing algorithms for the overlay model and are nearly as good as the integrated routing algorithm for the peer model.
