Figure 28: Multi-domain provisioning flow (T. Lehman, in 0).

The interoperability between multiple domains using the Web-Services based inter-domain

control plane, has been successfully demonstrated during the Supercomputing conference in

November 2007 0. The demonstration showcased the interoperability between Internet2, ESnet,

GEANT2, the Great Plains Network (GPN), GRNET in Greece, HEAnet in Ireland, Merit

Network, Northern Crossroads (NoX), a Nortel Network based in Ottawa, Canada, the PIONIER

network in Poland, and the Phosphorus testbed at the University of Amsterdam via SURFnet's

NetherLight GLIF Open Lambda Exchange in Amsterdam. It showed the dynamic light path

setup for video transfer and large file transfer applications across continents.
