I also don't see much NSP participation in the relevant standards bodies about signaling in optical networks.
Probably because the said standards bodies (and on-demand fiber capacity allocation in general) have little relevance to the NSPs and Internet backbones in general? --vadim PS I keep wondering why people keep reinventing virtual circuits.
It seems that the goal is to apply IP packets right onto the lambda windows. But without any ability to provide IP QoS, it seems like a point of diminishing return. Hop-by-hop routing is on its way out....and not soon enough. As for reinventing the virtual circuit, I don't think we can get much lower than this. -tm Vadim Antonov <avg@kotovnik.com> wrote
