US state/regional optical networks

Optical Network Technologies workshops – Past ONT workshops, most recent not yet there

CCIRN topics of interest in this area? Sharing experience managing, operating ‘optical’ networks – Variety of levels of management Interconnecting ‘optical’ networks – Trans-oceanic links SDH/SONET – Actual interoperability of equipment Nortel-Alcatel, Ciena-Alcatel tests ongoing, others? Collect results? – ‘optical’ in the sense of ‘lightpaths’ or circuits Coordination of manual, static set-up across domains Interoperability of respective control planes for dynamic set up across domains GLIF topics, CCIRN topics?
