Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for processing a delayed resource reservation request in an optical telecommunication network for transferring data between a source device and a destination device, wherein the control plane is different from the transfer plane. Upon a node device of the network receiving the resource reservation request sent from the source device to the destination device via a path including at least one node device, the request containing at least one first parameter relating to the start of the connection at the source device, the method includes the following steps: obtaining information relating to a signal transfer time via the path up to an upstream node device; updating the information by adding a signal transfer time at the intermediate equipment; and calculating a date for the start of the resource reservation at the node device using the value of the first received parameter and the information.
