ASON

What does ASON stand for?

• Advanced Service Operation Network

• Automatically Switched Optical Network

• Adaptive Signal Operation Network

• Automatic Service Optimization Network

What is the main advantage of ASON over traditional WDM networks?

• Higher cost

• Lower bandwidth utilization

• Limited protection capability

• Enhanced service configuration and protection mode

What is the purpose of the GMPLS control plane in ASON?

• To reduce network connection management

• To limit service level agreement levels

• To enhance fault recovery capabilities

• To decrease bandwidth utilization

What is the function of the TE link in ASON?

• To establish signaling protocols

• To manage control links

• To create permanent connections

• To provide data for route computation

Which protocol is used for automatic setup, deletion, and maintenance of connections in ASON?

• LMP

• OSPF-TE

• RSVP-TE

• CSPF

What is the purpose of the LMP protocol?

• Control link information

• Automatic discovery of neighbors and link resources

What is the function of OSPF-TE in the ASON network?

• Service rerouting process

• Automatic network topology discovery

• Data link connectivity check

• Consistency check for TE link attributes

Which type of network does ASON 2.0 aim to build?

• Scalable, speed, smart optical network

• Traditional copper-based network

• Satellite-based network

• Local area network

What is the key capability of ASON 2.0 for large-scale network rerouting?

• Fast deterministic rerouting

• Remote active/standby protection of CCUs

• Priority preemption

• Visualized rerouting and online service survivability analysis

What is the purpose of centralized route computation in ASON?

• To compute routes in a centralized manner based on fault alarm information

• To manage link resources

• To check data link connectivity

• To establish service paths
