7.2. The ITU-T G.7713 Model

7.2.1. What Is G.7713?

G.7713 [ITU-T03a] is an ITU-T recommendation dealing with distributed call and connection management in optical networks conforming to ITU-T G.8080 architecture [ITU-T01d]. The purpose of this recommendation is to describe the parameters and procedures related to signaling independent of any particular signaling protocol. To do this, certain functional requirements and an architectural model for signaling are assumed. The main utility of G.7713 is the specification of the signaling interfaces, and the development of an architectural model that separates the signaling control plane from the data transport plane in optical networks. G.7713 also contains signaling message flow descriptions, and ...
