International Classification:

H04L 12/56
H04B 10/20

US Classification:

3703952, 37039551, 370907, 398 58

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing bandwidth-on-demand telecommunications services over next-generation optical transport networks (NG-OTN). One embodiment of a system providing bandwidth-on-demand services includes a next-generation optical transport network (NG-OTN) having an intelligent control plane (ICP) and new-generation synchronous optical network (NG-SONET) capabilities. A next-generation operation support subsystem (NG-OSS) is communicatively coupled to the NG-OTN. The NG-OTN and the NG-OSS are configured to provide the bandwidth-on-demand services.

International Classification:

H04J 3/16

US Classification:

370468, 370255, 370477

Abstract:

Policy-based, on-demand provisioning of optical transport bandwidth is disclosed. In one of many possible embodiments, a system is provided for policy-based, on-demand provisioning of optical transport bandwidth. The system includes a layer-specific operation support subsystem (OSS) configured to manage network elements that form a sub-network over an optical transport network. The optical transport network provides bandwidth-on-demand provisioning capabilities. The layer-specific OSS includes one or more predefined bandwidth provisioning policies. The layer-specific OSS is configured to selectively request on-demand provisioning of bandwidth on the sub-network based on the predefined bandwidth provisioning policies.

International Classification:

G01R 31/08
H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370216, 370252, 370401, 714 2

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided to implement a full-time protection mechanism and a new class of service offerings based on mechanisms to achieve an ‘always protected’ type of transport service for a networking environment where there may be multiple failures or synchronized attacks. This suite of services may utilize intelligent control plane technology in the optical transport network to support an ‘always on’ protection capability.
