Abstract
Optical networks are being developed to include photonic switches, optical crossconnects, SONET/SDH crossconnects and routers. These networks consist of data links and a logically separated control network. Furthermore, multiple data links may be combined to form a single traffic engineering (TE) link for routing purposes. This draft proposes an update of the Link Management Protocol LMP. LMP runs between neighboring nodes (regarding data links) and is used to manage TE links. Specifically, LMP can be used to discover and verify the physical connectivity of the data links, correlate the data link property information, suppress downstream alarms, and localize link failures for protection/restoration purposes in GMPLS switched networks.
