Optical Networking – Delivering on the Promise: A Mini-Seminar Program
Tuesday, June 17 - 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

11:00am - 11:30am
Creating Services for a New Era in Optical Networking
Presenter:  Hans-Martin Foisel, Deutsche Telekom, OIF President and Carrier Working Group Chair
Authors - Alessandro D’Alessandro, Telecom Italia; Hans-Martin Foisel, Deutsche Telekom; Monica Lazer, AT&T; Satoru Okamoto, NNT; Vishnu Shukla, Verizon

Abstract:
ASON/GMPLS based optical control plane functions are the key enabler for emerging on-demand bandwidth services. The OIF inter-domain control plane interfaces extends  this capability to provision end-to-end bandwidth services over multi-domain and multi-layer networks.
The presentation will highlight the importance of inter-domain control plane functionalities and provide an overview of its implementation in carrier networks and on-going field trials.

Content:

• OIF control plane IAs
• On-demand bandwidth services at AT&T and Verizon
• Field trials within the following projects:
• Keihanna Open Lab (Japanese national scale activities)
• CT ASON field trial (Presentation from ECOC2007)
• MUPBED (Test network in a European project)
• NOBEL2, Using UNI/E-NNI, but also demoing ASON-GMPLS signaling interworking compliant to oif2006.028 (Field trial in a European project)
• VIOLA (Test network in a German project)

11:30 am - 12:00 pm   Building Bridges – 40/100G Ethernet Transport over OTN
Presenter:  Ghani Abbas, Ericsson
Authors - Ghani Abbas, Ericsson and John McDonough, NEC Corporation of America

Abstract:
The recent phenomenal growth of data traffic is the main driver for standards development organisations such as the IEEE 802.3 and the ITU-T for developing new standards for 40/100 GE. To progress such a project the OIF has been developing carrier requirements to support the evolution of OTN and Ethernet standards towards achieving networks capable of transporting 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Ethernet services. These requirements define general functionality based on network applications, which were communicated to the ITU-T and IEEE 802.3 to assist these SDOs in the standardization of the Ethernet interfaces, transmission and mappings.  This presentation addresses the working relationship between the OIF and these SDOs.

Wednesday, June 18 - 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

1:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Enabling On-Demand Ethernet Services
Presenters:  Hans-Martin Foisel, Deutsche Telekom and Dave Brown, Alcatel-Lucent, OIF MA&E Committee Co-Chair
Authors - Dave Brown, Alcatel-Lucent and Hans-Martin Foisel, Deutsche Telekom

Abstract:
OIF work is always accompanied by experimental validation of its Implementation Agreements (IA) providing both, valuable feedback to the specification and standardization work, and highlighting the feasibility of its IAs and the interoperability of the implementations. The presentation will highlight the OIF interoperability events and their value for the specification work and beyond.

1:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Controlling Tomorrow’s Optical Network
Presenter:  Lyndon Ong, Ciena, OIF Technical Committee Chair
Authors - Jim Jones, Alcatel-Lucent and Lyndon Ong, Ciena
Abstract:
This presentation discusses the state of work on optical control plane
standards and implementation.  It includes recent work from OIF
on interworking of GMPLS and ASON specifications and support of
multi-domain, multi-vendor networks, as well as recent extensions of the control
plane to Ethernet transport services and OTN.
