The rapid growth of the data traffic, caused by the ever-growing number of Internet users and the services requiring huge bandwidth (e.g., videoconferences, IPTV, etc.) show that the existing transport network infrastructure is not optimal in terms of cost, flexibility and scalability. In this context, an appealing solution relies on deploying a multi-layer network (MLN) constituted by a dual layer infrastructure combining the benefits provided by flexible Connection Oriented (CO) - Ethernet and the huge transmission capacity provided by Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON), controlled by a Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) unified control plane. An important concept in such a MLN is the Forwarding Adjacency (FA). The aim of FAs is to exploit the grooming decisions where existent lower-layer Label Switched Paths (LSPs) (i.e., FA LSPs) with sufficient unreserved bandwidth are intelligently reused when accommodating and serving new upper-layer LSPs. By doing so, the established lower-layer LSPs form a Virtual Network Topology (VNT) for the provisioning of CO-Ethernet services. One of the main challenges in a MLN is how to accommodate dynamically requested higher-layer connections in the created VNT to optimally utilize the large capacity offered by a WSON. In this regard, we focus on the problem of path computation and LSP provisioning in a CO-Ethernet over WSON network, under the framework of GMPLS unified control plane. Firstly, we propose the usage of a FA TE link timer, which postpones the release of created FA TE link when there are no more upperlayer connections over such a link, rather than releasing it immediately. By doing so, we do reduce the signaling overhead due to consecutive triggering of FA TE links between the same pair of nodes. As a second contribution, we compare three approaches for dynamic VNT reconfiguration: semi-dynamic, virtual and dynamic, using our proposed online path computation algorithm. We show that with the dynamic approach the lowest connection blocking ...
