A reliable control plane plays a crucial role in creating high-level services in the next-generation transport network based on the Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPL...
Control Plane architectures enhance transport networks with distributed signaling and routing mechanisms which allow dynamic connection control. As a result, layer 1 switching net...
The Host Identity Indirection Infrastructure (Hi3) is a general-purpose networking architecture, derived from the Internet Indirection Infrastructure (i3) and the Host Identity Pr...
The Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP) is one of the candidate solutions to address the scalability issues in inter-domain routing. The current proposals for its contro...
This paper proposes an open, extensible control plane for a global event service, based on semantically rich messages. This is based on the novel application of control plane separ...

A dynamically extensible control plane is a key enabling feature of next generation intelligent selfconfiguring networks. This extensibility can be achieved by enabling service de...
This paper defines a new layered architecture for supporting optical burst switching in an optical core network. The architecture takes into account both the control plane as well...
