L1 IGP VRF
1. DWDM nodes run OSPF and discover the optical layer topology
2. GE port on router connected to DWDM node via out of band cable
3. OSPF enabled on this port
4. Router port added into a special “optical” virtual routing/ forwarding table (VRF)
5. Router learns optical layer topology and stores it in the VRF
6. Users outside the core router cannot see or access nodes inside the optical VRF

Integrated planning for both layers (see next slide)
An integrated protection strategy where each layer
protects the resources it can protect best
Value: significant CAPEX and OPEX savings
