DUBLIN, Ireland; MARTINSRIED/MUNICH, Germany. May 11, 2011.HEAnet, Juniper
Networks and ADVA Optical Networking have successfully demonstrated the
automated setup of optical circuits between Juniper Networks routers via an ADVA
Optical Networking Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical
network, using a common signaling protocol.
The HEAnet network consists of Juniper Networks(®) MX Series 3D Universal Edge
Routers and ADVA FSP 3000 DWDM equipment. All of the equipment shares one common
GMPLS control plane. Using the control plane, HEAnet was able to provision end-
to-end circuits between the routers over the optical network.
The deployment of the control plane enabled the initiating router to discover,
reserve and then build an optical circuit across the optical network without any
user intervention beyond the original user commands on the initiating router.
Rapidly growing traffic levels in both metro and core networks are driving many
network operators to deploy a new network architecture based on integrated
packet-layer routers and optical-transport systems. The resulting multi-layer
packet-transport solution delivers significant traffic management flexibility at
each network layer, enabling improved network utilization, efficiency,
performance and scalability. The integration of the packet and transport layers
via a sophisticated GMPLS control plane allows the packet layer to automatically
request connections across the transport layer without manual intervention.
Lowering service provider OPEX, this solution also provides the ability to
rapidly deliver intelligent packet services.
"This is one of the first customer GMPLS interworking tests between router and
optical equipment manufacturers," said Eoin Kenny, project leader, HEAnet. "It
demonstrates how an Internet service provider can use GMPLS to provision
circuits automatically across its optical network from a router in one simple
step."
"The continued rapid growth in network traffic is placing new demands on service
providers around the world to implement new efficient technologies that lower
network management costs while improving performance," said Rami Rahim, senior
vice president and general manager of the Ethernet and Aggregation Business Unit
at Juniper Networks. "Juniper Networks was a GMPLS pioneer, and we are happy to
see the growing interest and practical applications and deployments in
commercial networks. GMPLS brings automation, flexibility and scalability to the
service provider network, and this interoperability test demonstrates that
Juniper Networks' MX Series delivers the ease of integration necessary to
simplify provisioning of the network."
"ADVA Optical Networking has one of the most mature GMPLS-based optical control
plane implementations in the industry," said Christoph Glingener, chief
technology officer of ADVA Optical Networking. "Integrating our optical control
plane with the router control plane is the next step in our vision of delivering
cost-effective, flexible network solutions to our customers."
