Within GMPLS framework, the signaling protocol Resource reSerVation Protocol with Traffic Engineering extensions (RSVP-TE) is extended to support the requirements of an Automated Switched Optical Network architecture. This paper presents the extensions of the end-to-end connection services in an overlay network built on two control planes. RSVP-TE protocol extensions are first described between an IP/MPLS router and a SDH/GMPLS core optical cross-connect, defining GMPLS-UNI. Dimensioning of three scenarios proving the benefits of GMPLS-UNI is discussed.
