Performance aspects have always been very important in telecommunications, especially in control elements. That problem also regards ASON/GMLPS network, which is one of the propositions for Next Generation Network (NGN) transport stratum. In this paper we investigate performance of ASON/GMPLS Connection Control Servers (CCSs) in laboratory testbed, which architecture and operation are also described. In order to evaluate the performance of the ASON/GMPLS connection control elements, a set of scenarios including settingup and releasing connections were executed in different variants of testbed architecture. During the tests execution call setup and termination operations durations were measured. Test results in the three-layer testbed structure confirmed that connection control layer performance has the main impact on service request processing duration and the influence of the other testbed elements operation is negligible.
