to me, this was the dream of optical switching and gmpls (which is not mpls) And, pray tell, what is the use of me setting up "peering" between myself and a network on the other side of the world when the data still has to flow over the same connections, merely encapsulated inside a tunnel?
read "which is not mpls" a few more times. than maybe read a bit on gmpls and optical switching. you may find https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Multi-Protocol_Label_Switching a reasonable place to start.
Ok, but does this still not pre-suppose that an appropriate physical path that has sufficient available bandwidth/slots is already present?
