Border Peer: A Sweet Spot
The “Border model” is a hybrid between the full Peer and Overlay models.
Border Routers receive routing information from the optical devices as well as routers.
Border router keeps the optical and router domain topology information in separate routing tables.
No routing information from the router region is carried in the optical region.

Advantages of the Border Peer Model
• Takes the strengths of the peer model, while respecting the administrative domains.
Efficient use of resources/ consistent path selection in a heterogeneous network of routers and optical nodes/ devices.
Simplifies fault handing in a router+optical network.
Respects domains boundaries.
• Allows for incremental deployment of the optical regions with minimum-to-no reconfiguration of the existing router region.
