Performance Analysis of Distributed Layer 1 VPN

Rapid advances in next-generation SONET/SDH technology along with distributed control architectures using GMPLS have enabled new service provisioning capabilities. In particular, a key paradigm is the new layer 1 virtual private (L1 VPN) network framework, which allows clients to directly provision their own services without deploying expensive infrastructures. This paper proposes performance analysis of distributed L1 VPN. Detailed performance analysis and results are also presented
