Objectives ASON is real! ASON is a useful architecture for certain deployment scenarios for transport networks ASON has a wide following among carriers GMPLS protocols provide good tools to implement the architecture GMPLS and ASON use significantly different terminology Lack of mutual understanding blocks the adoption of GMPLS in an ASON environment Several drafts to explain ASON to the IETF Provide a lexicography for the interpretation of GMPLS terminology within the context of the ASON architecture Objective is to allow people who understand ASON to be able to read GMPLS RFCs and apply the technology to their architecture |
