1. Introduction
Generalised Multiprotocol Label Switched (GMPLS) is widely used in
Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) to support the optical
circuits set-up through the signalling between Core Nodes and Edge
Nodes. This extension addresses the use cases described by [RFC7698]
Ch.3.3 and supports the information, needed by Spectrum Switched
Optical Network (SSON), to signal a Media Channel and the associated
carriers set request. The new set of parameters is related to the
Media Channel and the carrier routed with it and keep the backward
compatibility with the WSON signalling. In particular this memo
wants do address the use cases where the SSON LSP (the Media Channel
in RFC7698) carries multiple carrier (OTSi) containing same Payload.
The set of the carriers can be seen as single Logical circuit. This
memo can be considered as the extension of [RFC7699] The contents and

the parameters reflect the experimental activity on IP over SSON
recently done.
Figure 1 shows how the multiple carrier are mapped into a Media
Channel. A set of parameters must be shared on the UNI to allow the
GMPLS to do the proper routing and Spectrum Assignment and decide the
carrier position.

between two adjacent channels (or carriers) depending on the
Transceiver characteristics.

This parameter indicate minimum and maximum wavelength spectrum in
a definite wavelength Band (L, C and S).
Modulation format:
This parameter indicates the list of supported Modulation Formats
and the provisioned Modulation Format..
Inter carrier skew:
This parameter indicates, in case of multi-carrier transceivers
the maximum skew between the sub-carriers supported by the
transceiver.

This parameter provisions the Transceiver Output power, it can be
either a setting and measured value.

4. Signalling Extensions
The extension to the RFC7699 includes the parameter listed above.
The above parameters could be added also to [RFC4208]. The [RFC6205]
parameters remain valid.
4.1. New LSP set-up parameters
When the E.N. wants to request to the C.N. a new circuit set-up
request or the GMPLS want to signal in the SSON network the Optical
Interface characteristics the following parameters will be provided
to the C.N.:
Number of available subcarriers (c):
This parameter is an integer.

between two adjacent channels (or carriers) depending on the
Transceiver characteristics.
Bit rate / Baud rate of optical tributary signals:

4.3. RSVP Protocol Extensions considerations
The additional information described in the draft, is related to the
Media Channel supported traffic. It could be encoded as specific
extensions of the SENDER_TSPEC/FLOW_SPEC object for Flexi-Grid
networks (see [RFC7792])
5. Security Considerations
GMPLS message security uses IPsec, as described in xxxx. This
document only defines new UNI objects that are carried in existing
UNI messages, similar to the UNI objects in xxx. This document does
not introduce new security considerations.
