Higher utilization / capital efficiency - Shifted from a very large
cushion to protect us from running out of capacity to
operating the network at very high levels of utilization.
Workforce relief - Leveraging automation to operate its
expanding network with 44% fewer people than it did in 1998.
Higher productivity - Generating 18% more revenue per
network employee than in 2000 while improving quality metrics.
A critical measure of a companys operational
effectiveness currently $500-600K/employee positioning
AT&T well ahead of its competitors.

Automatic Neighbor Discovery allows a node to automatically
determine the identity of each neighboring node and the set of links
that connect them
Routing allows every node to automatically share the complete
network topology and resources via Topology and Resource Status
Dissemination
Dynamic Connection Provisioning
Optical User Network Interface (OUNI) or EMS support a
connection request from a client to the network
Signaling allows the establishment and restoration of a path from
one end of the connection
