Abstract:

The concept of connections batched is proposed to support multiple connections in a call session in automatically switched optical network (ASON). To support a call request having multiple similar connections, the function of component and procedure of signaling perform are extended. A testbed of 15 nodes is built, the control plane of ASON by running resource reservation protocoltraffic engineering (RSVPTE), open shortest path firsttraffic engineering (OSPFTE) and link management protocol (LMP) is implemented. The experimental results shows that multiple connections per a call have less connection setup time and network traffic than one connection per a call have.

Key words: automatic switched optical network, connections batched, resource reservation protocoltraffic engineering
