Optical Networking White Papers

Optical UNI Demo

Overview This specification provides the first truly open, coordinated effort to define signaling, neighbor and service discovery and addressing for optical networking devices. The specification is anticipated to provide the necessary foundation for the vehicles of dynamic service creation and provisioning. More importantly the optical interoperability standards movement allows the industry to coordinate and realize the true value of recent technical innovations in the industry, increasing the size of the industry as a whole for all participants.
