Packet Optical Transport networks are entering a most interesting phase of evolution. An incessant traffic growth, new service requirements and an existing infrastructure put carriers in a challenging position. In recent years, intense technical, business and even political debate over architectures and protocols demonstrate that change is in the air. But what is the best change? Senior industry leaders will frame the debate and look to the future of modern transport networks.

Holding much promise, the topic of multilayer optimisation has been on the industry table for many years. For some, GMPLS has not lived up to its original vision; for others, GMPLS performs a valuable intra-layer task, enabling much autonomous operation and network intelligence. What does GMPLS need to do next? Can it develop further to address the need for operational multilayer optimisation?
