Overview The 2007 OIF Worldwide Interoperability Demonstration shows end-to-end provisioning of dynamic switched Ethernet services over multiple, control-plane enabled intelligent optical core networks through the use of OIF implementation agreements of UNI 2.0 and E-NNI. In-service Ethernet bandwidth modification and control plane discovery and failure recovery are new features which are demonstrated. Interoperability testing of various network equipment includes MSPP, routers, Ethernet Switches, cross-connects, OADM in the data plane as well as various implementation approaches in the control plane. The multi-vendor aspects of the interoperability testing give carriers confidence that different vendors and technology domains can work together.
