This memo provides extensions to Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling for control of wavelength switched optical networks (WSON). These extensions build on previous work for the control of G.709 based networks.
This internet draft is the merging of two earlier internet drafts related to signaling. This is currently an "individual submission". Recent additions include requirements and functionality for (a) backwards blocking reduction, (b) efficient wavelength converter usage, and (c) efficient shared backup wavelength assignment.
