There exists a practical implementation of IP over optical convergence—proper shared risk management and alarm correlation to achieve optimal network utilization and resiliency in real network failure scenarios. The compelling benefit of a policy-driven automation solution is highlighted in the context of a common service provider use case: an optical failure that reduces the available bandwidth to transport IP traffic.
