LSR and OXC Commonalities
Data and Control planes
- both LSRs and OXCs de-couple data and control planes
Data planes driven by a similar switching matrices:
- LSR:
- (iif, ingress label) ? (oif, egress label)
- OXC:
- (iif, ingress ?) ? (oif, egress ?)
Switching independent of switching unit payload
- LSR / OXC only switch based on incoming label / lambda
