Wavelength Switched Optical Network

WSON RWA Framework Document (RFC 6163)

General:

 

Framework for GMPLS and PCE Control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON)

Abstract

This document provides a framework for applying Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) and the Path Computation Element (PCE) architecture to the control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs). In particular, it examines Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) of optical paths.

WSON Information Encoding

General:

General Network Element Constraint Encoding for GMPLS Controlled Networks

Abstract

Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching can be used to control a wide variety of technologies. In some of these technologies network elements and links may impose additional routing constraints such as asymmetric switch connectivity, label limitation and label availability on links.

Optical Impairments

General:

A Framework for the Control and Measurement of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON) with Impairments

Abstract

WSON Standardization

General:

Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON) are Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) based networks that include switching elements that can switch based on the wavelength or the frequency of signals transported over optical fiber. Although originally included in the overall set of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) based control plane protocols, optical technology developments have gone beyond the optical systems originally envisioned within GMPLS.

WSON RWA OSPF Extensions

General:

 OSPF Extensions in Support of RWA in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks

Abstract

This document describes OSPF routing protocols extensions to support Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON) under the control of Generalized MPLS (GMPLS). 

OSPF Enhancement for Signal and Network Element Compatibility for WSON

General:

OSPF Enhancement for Signal and Network Element Compatibility for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks

Abstract

This document provides GMPLS OSPF routing enhancements to support signal compatibility constraints associated with WSON network elements. These routing enhancements are required in common optical or hybrid electro-optical networks where not all of the optical signals in the network are compatible with all network elements participating in the network.
