I think another key difference is that a GOLE has a high concentration of cross-border fibers which includes those that interconnects to other GOLEs. In my opinion distinguishing a GOLE from  a domain is useful for path computation. Also, we rarely find termination (compute, instrument, etc. ) points within GOLEs. Therefore, their  function is to primarily  interconnect to other domains and GOLEs.

The only distinction between a GOLE and an other domain is that a GOLE

But if 'policy' is an attribute of a domain, then that is even no 
difference (at least looking at the abstract level).
Correct?

All the best,


Victor
