Abstract: In this paper we address the opportunities, issues, and challenges associated with end-to-end optical service provisioning in carrier’s networks. A number of scenarios are analyzed from a practical perspective, considering important aspects relevant to the management and control planes. Along the lines of three basic dimensions, locality, granularity, and ownership, we presents several solutions of provisioning end-to-end optical services in regional (local scale) and national (global scale) networking scenarios.
