Abstract
Many implementations have been developed to integrate Packet (mostly IP) networks with underlying transport networks. These attempts can be characterized as virtual (via control architecture) and physical integration. The paper describes the benefits of packet-optical integration and an opportunity how to use the white box approach to realize the integration. Voyager as an example is described.
