This document describes an Optical Virtual Private Network
service (OVPN) called Virtual Private Optical Cross-Connect
(VPOXC). A VPOXC is a provider provisioned VPN service part of
the customer private network but administered and under the
control of the service provider. A VPOXC operates similarly to a
physical optical cross-connect except that it allows a wide
spectrum of port topology such as hub and spoke, full mesh, and
arbitrary topologies. To the VPOXC customer, the service
provider network appears as a virtual private optical cross-
connect where customer sites are attached to. The VPOXC port
topology is defined by the customer, and enforced by the service
provider. Customers can signal any optical connectivity
according to the port topology implemented by the VPOXC. Client
devices operate within the VPOXC space independently from the
service provider network operations.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
