To build a flexible network than traditional transport network, the carrier ethernet technology is emerging in network industry recently and MPLS-TP technologies are being applied as a major standard technology for the carrier ethernet. However, network management technologies required to handle equipment installed in MPLS-TP network are not clear. This paper propose an efficient method to build a management network automatically without any additional configuration when network equipments are installed in MPLS-TP network. The proposed scheme reduce cost required for both equipment installation and network maintenance by minimizing configuration procedures of connecting management system with network. We evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by applying the scheme to a real MPLS-TP equipment.

In this paper, we propose a new signaling protocol as an extension of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) based PCE protocol for control carrier ethernet. The proposed protocol is not only compatible with the GMPLS PCE standard protocol, but also provides the topology discovery and configuration. In order to verify interoperability, we implement the proposed protocol as well as the system integrating functions including commercial system for testbed. In addition, we have simulated topology discovery test for proposed protocol performance.
