Abstract
Recently, a great consortium on Generalized Multi Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) is emerging as the control plane for next generation optical backbone networks. This article proposes guidelines for managing optical networks controlled by GMPLS in a policy based fashion. A flexible management solution is presented especially for optical network issues, where the service management system efficiently impacts the control plane offering the possibility to dynamically change network functionality to enhance the controllability of optical networks.
