Package gmplsuni

The XML API OSS interface uses the gmplsuni package for the: The Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) User-to-Network Interface (UNI) permits dynamic provisioning of optical transport connections between IP routers and optical network elements in order to reduce the operational time administrative overhead required to provision new connectivity.

At the UNI-C (Client) routers, GMPLS paths and UNI GLSPs can be configured. UNI GLSPs can be bundled into GMPLS tunnel groups. A network interface can be bound to a GMPLS tunnel group endpoint. This network interface can then be used by any applicable protocol associated with an overlying IP/MPLS network.
