	 <t>   Computation-aware Traffic Steering (CATS) offers a framework for
   selecting computation service sites based on computation capabilities
   and load, and considering the network capabilities and state on the
   paths to the sites.

   Optical Transport Networks (OTN) provide guaranteed separation of
   traffic along with reserved hardware resources offering bandwidth and
   quality of service promises.

   This document describes how OTN may be used to support a CATS system
   to achieve the stringent performance targets required by demanding
   service environments.
