• Title : A Perspective on Photonic Multiprotocol Label Switching
• Authors : Masayuki Murata and Ken-ichi Kitayama
• Journal : IEEE Network, vol. ??, No. ??, pp.56-??, July/August 2001.
• Abstract : Various MPLS-based IP over WDM integration techniques are considered in this article. In particular, this includes the recent circuit-switching MP{\lambda}S framework for providing logical IP-layer topologies over optical lightpath routing networks. Additionally, an optical code label switching technique for photonic packet switching and its application to MPLS is also introduced, termed OC-MPLS. The related advantages and challenges of both of these approaches are discussed, and various future research issues are addressed.
