RESUMO

The main objective of this work is to analyze the evolution trends for the architecture of the optical networks, discuss the state of the art protocols required for its development and evaluate the various efforts being carried out by different institutions in order to achieve standardization. In this context, optical networks are those in which the dominant technology in the physical layer is the optical fiber. Such networks arose in the early eighties with the use of the monomodo fiber optic cables and were further developed with the introduction of a new technological base composed by new types optical fibers, optical amplifiers, DWDM systems and optical components such as add/drop multiplexers and optical cross-connects. The introduction of these components will make possible the evolution from the simple point-to-point DWDM connections to the all optical networks. In this work we analyze how the applications will interact with this physical layer. Such interaction has been proving to be a challenge within the framework for the current architecture of data networks, aiming at offering solutions to enable the transport of a great volume of traffic in an efficient manner. With this goal in mind, the use of technologies such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) and its evolution, the Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) is discussed. Finally, we present the ITU version for the architecture optical networks, addressing its merging with the GMPLS
