These services are layered over the High-Performance Protocols (HPP) toolkit. In turn, these network protocols are layered over services for setting up, monitoring, and tearing down optical paths. Applications built with these data services demonstrate what are sometimes called “photonic data services,” i.e., advanced Layer-3 protocols and services that are closely integrated with Layer-2 and Layer-1 services. The latter is based on dynamic lightpath switching and supported by advanced optical control planes and leading-edge photonic technologies. |
