The Aluminium release completes TransportPCE support of OTN (Optical Transport Network that was partially introduced in Magnesium) with a consolidated end-to-end services management. A few bug fixes and improvements and an experimental support of Flexgrid are also proposed, paving the way towards higher rate (beyond 100Gbps) service provisioning. Flexgrid compliant path calculation and configuration of flexible high rate interfaces will be added over the Aluminium release train.
