Abstract-- This papers reports the advances in Optical Core
networks research coordinated in the framework of the e-
Photon/ONe and e-Photon/ONe+ networks of excellence.
I. INTRODUCTION
e-Photon/ONe (E1) is a network of excellence funded by
the EU in 2004 and 2005, with the goal to promote the
integration of the several research activities ongoing in Europe
on optical networking. The funding period has been recently
extended for two more years in the e-Photon/ONe+ (E1+)
network, stemming from the previous experience. One of
the instruments implemented in E1 and E1+ are the Virtual
Departments (VDs), working groups that gather researchers
around big topics to exchange results, promote joint research
and identify new topics. VD 1 (VD-C in E1+) is devoted to
core optical networks and this paper reports an overview of
