Title

A Quantitative Study on the Infuence of ASON/GMPLS on OPEX

Keywords

OPEX; NETWORK MANAGEMENT

Abstract

ASON/GMPLS is promoted as one of the key technologies to reduce Operational Expenditures (OPEX) of network operators, since it provides the tools for automating the network operations. This paper gives a detailed model and qualitative analysis of the major OPEX-aecting operation processes in the area of core and metropolitan area transport networks. Moreover, a rst quantitative evaluation of the changes in the operational eorts induced by ASON/GMPLS is described. The evaluation shows a signicant potential to reduce OPEX, which is to some extent independent of the type of operator.
