Abstract
In general, techniques are described for dynamically determining a logical network topology for more efficiently transporting network traffic over a physical topology based on end-to-end network traffic demands and optical transport network (OTN) characteristics of the network. The techniques may be applicable to meeting network traffic demands placed upon a multi-layer network having a base transport layer and a logical or overlay Internet Protocol (IP) layer routed on the transport layer.
