Control Models at Interconnection Points

New types of exchange points, like Optical Exchanges and GMPLS exchanges have been described in the last few years. Optical and lambda exchanges are now deployed. However, these interconnection points are not defined in systematic way in the literature. We classify interconnection points, mainly by discriminating on the properties of the control planes. Three control models are defined: the autonomous, federated and distributed control model. In addition we define in which cases the adjectives "open" and "automated" can be applied to the control models. This article aims to reach community consensus about a common terminology
