Internet-Draft         PCEP Extension for WSON                June 2008


   (PCEP) for the support of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks
   (WSON).  Lightpath provisioning in WSONs requires a routing and
   wavelength assignment (RWA) process.  From a path computation
   perspective, wavelength assignment is the process of determining
   which wavelength can be used on each hop of a path and forms an
   additional routing constraint to optical light path computation.
   Different computational architectures for the RWA process are given
   and the PCEP extensions needed to support these architectures are
   defined.

1. Introduction

   [RFC4655] defines the PCE based Architecture and explains how a Path
   Computation Element (PCE) may compute Label Switched Paths (LSP) in
   Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) and
   Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks at the request of Path Computation
   Clients (PCCs).  A PCC is shown to be any network component that
   makes such a request and may be for instance an Optical Switching
   Element within a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) network.  The
   PCE, itself, can be located anywhere within the network, and may be
   within an optical switching element, a Network Management System
   (NMS) or Operational Support System (OSS), or may be an independent
   network server.

   The PCE communications Protocol (PCEP) is the communication protocol
   used between PCC and PCE, and may also be used between cooperating
   PCEs.  [RFC4657] sets out the common protocol requirements for PCEP.
   Additional application-specific requirements for PCEP are deferred to
   separate documents.

   This document provides a set of application-specific PCEP
   requirements and protocol enhancements for support of path
   computation in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON).  WSON
   refers to WDM based optical networks in which switching is performed
   selectively based on the wavelength of an optical signal.

   The path in WSON is referred to as a lightpath.  A lightpath may span
   multiple fiber links and the path should be assigned a wavelength for
   each link.  A transparent optical network is made up of optical
   devices that can switch but not convert from one wavelength to
   another. In a transparent optical network, a lightpath operates on
   the same wavelength across all fiber links that it traverses. In such
   case, the lightpath is said to satisfy the wavelength-continuity
   constraint. Two lightpaths that share a common fiber link can not be
   assigned the same wavelength.  To do otherwise would result in both
   signals interfering with each other. Note that advanced additional
   multiplexing techniques such as polarization based multiplexing are
   not addressed in this document since the physical layer aspects are


Lee & Bernstein       Expires December 27, 2008                [Page 3]


Internet-Draft         PCEP Extension for WSON                June 2008


   not currently standardized. Therefore, assigning the proper
   wavelength on a lightpath is an essential requirement in the optical
   path computation process.

   On the other hand, when a switching node has the ability to perform
   wavelength conversion the wavelength-continuity constraint can be
   relaxed, and a lightpath may use different wavelengths on different
   links along its route from origin to destination. It is, however, to
   be noted that wavelength converters may be limited due to their
   relatively high cost, while the number of WDM channels that can be
   supported in a fiber is also limited. As a WSON can be composed of
   network nodes that cannot perform wavelength conversion, nodes with
   limited wavelength conversion, and nodes with full wavelength
   conversion abilities, wavelength assignment is an additional routing
   constraint to be considered in all lightpath computation.

   Optical impairment constraints are not addressed in this document as
   the current scope of the WSON framework [WSON-FRAME] does not include
   them.

   The remainder of this document uses terminology from [RFC4655].



2. Background: RWA Computation Architectures

   The WSON framework [WSON-FRAME] document defines the following RWA
   computation architectures.

   o  Combined RWA --- Both routing and wavelength assignment are
      performed at a single computational entity.  This choice assumes
      that computational entity has sufficient WSON network link/nodal
      and topology information to be able to compute RWA.

   o  Separate Routing and WA --- Separate entities perform routing and
      wavelength assignment.  The path(s) obtained from the routing
      computational entity must be furnished to the entity performing
      wavelength assignment.

   o  Routing with Distributed WA --- Routing is performed at a
      computational entity while wavelength assignment is performed in a
      distributed fashion across the nodes along the path.


   For the Combined RWA architecture, there are two possible computing
   entities: (i) the NE is the computational entity -- in this case,
   there is no separate PCE as the NE assumes PCE function; (ii) a


Lee & Bernstein       Expires December 27, 2008                [Page 4]


Internet-Draft         PCEP Extension for WSON                June 2008


   separate PCE is the computational entity.  This document is only
   concerned with case (ii). In this case, the PCE should perform both
   routing (R) and wavelength assignment (WA) upon request of the PCC.

   For the Separate Routing and Wavelength architecture, there can be
   two variations:


   o  A separate PCE will perform only wavelength assignment (WA) while
      the NE performs the route calculation based on its local
      knowledge. In this case, the NE should furnish the route list to
      the PCE so that the PCE would be able to assign wavelength to the
      route.

   o  One PCE performs the routing (R) function while another PCE
      performs the Wavelength Assignment (WA) function in a tandem
      fashion.  The fact that two PCEs are involved (one for Routing and
      one for Wavelength Assignment (WA)) could be invisible to the
      original PCC.

   For the Routing with Distributed WA architecture, the PCE is only
   responsible for routing (i.e., path computation), not for exact
   wavelength assignment. The exact assignment of wavelengths would be
   performed at the NEs along the path in a distributed fashion.

3. PCECP Requirements

   This section provides the PCECP requirements to support WSON routing
   and wavelength assignment (RWA) applications.  The requirements
   specified in this section are detailed requirements based on high-
   level specification in [WSON-FRAME].



   3.1. RWA Computation Options

   The following RWA computation options should be conveyed in the PC
   Request:



   o  The request is for both Routing and Wavelength Assignment (R+WA).
      This case may arise when the NE is not capable of either route
      calculation or wavelength assignment at the node level, or when a
      more optimal RWA is desired.




Lee & Bernstein       Expires December 27, 2008                [Page 5]


Internet-Draft         PCEP Extension for WSON                June 2008


   o  The request is for Routing (R) only.  This case may arise when the
      NE is not capable of route calculation at the node level while
      wavelength assignment is done at the node level in a distributed
      fashion.

   o  The request is for Wavelength Assignment (WA) only.  This case may
      arise when the NE is capable of route calculation at the node
      level (e.g., via an IGP-TE) but with no wavelength information
      is available at the node level, or when two PCEs work in tandem
      with one performing the routing (R) function and another
      wavelength assignment (WA).  In either case, the calculated route
      list at one computing entity should be supplied in the request
      message to the other computing entity where WA is applied.


   The corresponding PC Reply message should include the following
   information:

   o  An indicator that conveys the original request was for (i) Both
      Routing and Wavelength Assignment (R+WA); (ii) Wavelength
      Assignment (WA) only; (iii) Routing (R) only.

   o  The route list for all cases above and the recommended wavelengths
      to be used for the route for cases (i) and (ii).

   o  In the case of failure to find a proper route or wavelengths
      assigned to the route, proper reasons for the failure should be
      conveyed: (i) route not found; (ii) wavelength not found (i.e.,
      wavelength blocking); (iii) both route and wavelength not found.



   3.2. Same Wavelength Assignment for Primary and backup paths

   The PC Request should indicate if the same wavelength assignment for
   the primary and backup paths is required or not.

   o  Same wavelength required

   o  Different wavelength required



   3.3. Same Wavelength Assignment for Bidirectional LSP

   When Bidirectional LSP is requested in the PC Request Message, a
   further indication should be made if the same wavelength should be


Lee & Bernstein       Expires December 27, 2008                [Page 6]


Internet-Draft         PCEP Extension for WSON                June 2008


   assigned in both directions in each hop. Note that assigning
   different wavelengths for the two directions is assumed as default.

   o  Same wavelengths required

   o  Different wavelengths permitted



   3.4. Wavelength Assignment in PC Reply

   If the original request is either for both Routing and Wavelength
   Assignment (R+WA) or for Wavelength Assignment (WA) only, the exact
   wavelength assignment result should be conveyed to the PCC using the
   ERO object and ERO Label subobject within the ERO. Note that this
   requirement is fulfilled by the Label Set mechanism in [RFC3471].



   3.5. RWA objective functions

   Analogous to [PCE-OF], the RWA computation should support a number of
   objective functions in the PC Request Message. The following RWA
   objective functions should be supported at a minimum:

       o  For a sequential request (i.e., one request):

            . TBD

       o  For a concurrent request (i.e., multi-commodity flows):

            . Minimize the total number of link-wavelength used

            . Minimize the maximum link-wavelength used (load balance)

            . Minimize the path length of all flows

   The PCRep should indicate which objective function has actually been
   applied.


4. Protocol Extensions for Support of WSON RWA

   This section describes PCEP extension necessary to meet the
   requirements set out in the previous section.

Internet-Draft         PCEP Extension for WSON                June 2008


   4.1. RWA Computation Options

   The PCC has to include the RWA computation option in the PCReq
   message in order to convey a particular computation option.  To
   support such indication a new flag, the RWA Computation (RC) flag, is
   defined in the RP (Request Parameter) Object.


   The RC flag is defined in the Flags field of the RP (Request
   Parameter) object as follows. Bit number assignment to be confirmed
   by IANA (see Section 8).

      Bit     Name    Description                          Reference

   10-11   RC-bits Routing Wavelength Computation       This document


   RC bits (Routing wavelength Computation bits - 2 bits):

   o  11: Request is for both R (Routing) and Wavelength Assignment
      (WA).

   o  01: Request is for Wavelength Assignment (WA) only.

   o  10: Request is for Routing (R) only.

   When the RC bits are set to 11 in a PCReq message, the requesting PCC
   requires the PCE to provide in the PCRep message the assigned
   wavelength associated with the computed path.  This request is for
   both Routing (R) and Wavelength Assignment (WA).

   When the RC bits are set to 01 in a PCReq message, the requesting PCC
   requires the PCE only to provide wavelength assignment (WA).  In such
   case, the PCC must provide the already computed route (as indicated
   by the ERO and the Bandwidth Object following the RP object) to which
   the PCE would assign the wavelengths.  Note that this option is to
   fulfill one of the RWA computational architectures, namely, the
   Separate Routing and WA option.

   When the RC bits are set to 11 or 01, then additional parameters
   associated with the requested lightpath SHOULD be provided in
   optional Lightpath Specific Parameter TLV (as specified in Section
   3.4) within the RP object. See Section 4.2 for the encoding of
   Lightpath Specific Parameter TLV.

Internet-Draft         PCEP Extension for WSON                June 2008


   The RP object in the PCRep message SHOULD properly indicate the
   original request for the RWA Computation (RC) bit that has actually
   been applied by the PCE. The actual route list and wavelength
   assignment is to be found in the ERO within ERO Label subobjects. ERO
   Label subobjects can be used to indicate the wavelength to be used on
   particular links. Note that GMPLS signaling [RFC3473] supports an
   explicit route object (ERO) and with ERO Label subobjects.



   4.2. Lightpath Specific Parameter TLV

   When the RC bit is set to 11 or 01 and the B bit is set to 1 (which
   indicates a bi-directional LSP request) in the RP object in a PCReq
   message, then the following Lightpath Specific Parameter TLV SHOULD
   be included as part of the RP object within the PCReq message.

   The format of the Lightpath Specific Parameter TLV is as follows:



   0                   1                   2                   3

   S bit (Same Wavelength to both directions - 1 bit):

      upstream and downstream directions.

   o  1: Request is for the assignment of the different wavelength to
      upstream and downstream directions.

   4.3. Objective Functions

   When the RC (RWA Computation) flags in the RP object of a PCReq
   indicate computing wavelength assignment, then the following
   Objective Function TLV SHOULD be included in the RP object as an
   optional TLV.

   The format of the Wavelength Selection Preference TLV is as follows:

   4.4. Error Indicator

   To indicate errors associated with the RWA request, a new Error-Type
   (15) and subsequent error-values are defined as follows for inclusion
   in the PCEP-ERROR object.

   If a PCE receives a RWA computation request and the PCE is not
   capable of RWA, the PCE MUST send a PCErr message with a PCEP ERROR
   object (Error-Type=15) and an Error-Value (Error-Value=1).  The
   corresponding RWA computation request MUST be cancelled.

   To indicate an error associated with policy violation, a new error
   value "RWA not allowed" is added to the existing error code for
   policy violation (Error-Type=6) as defined in [PCEP].

   If a PCE receives a RWA computation request which is not compliant
   with administrative privileges (i.e., the PCE policy does not support
   RWA), the PCE MUST send a PCErr message with a PCEP-ERROR Object
   (Error-Type=6) and an Error-Value (Error-Value=3).  The corresponding
   RWA computation MUST be cancelled.

   4.5. NO-PATH Indicator

   To communicate the reason(s) for not being able to find RWA
   computation, the NO-PATH object MAY be used in the PCRep message. The
   NO-PATH object is defined in [PCEP].

   As defined in [PCEP], the NO-PATH object carries the NO-PATH_VECTOR
   TLV which has a flags field. One new bit flag is defined in this
   document to indicate RWA-specific computation failures as follows:

   0x10: when set, the PCE indicates that no wavelength was found
   associated with RWA computation in the PCRep message.



5. Manageability Considerations

   Manageability of WSON Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) with
   PCE must address the following considerations:

Internet-Draft         PCEP Extension for WSON                June 2008


   5.1. Control of Function and Policy

   In addition to the parameters already listed in Section 8.1 of
   [PCEP], a PCEP implementation SHOULD allow configuring the following
   PCEP session parameters on a PCC:

   o  The ability to send a WSON RWA request.

   In addition to the parameters already listed in Section 8.1 of
   [PCEP], a PCEP implementation SHOULD allow configuring the following
   PCEP session parameters on a PCE:

   o  The support for WSON RWA.

   o  The maximum number of synchronized path requests associated with
      WSON RWA per request message.

   o  A set of WSON RWA specific policies (authorized sender, request
      rate limiter, etc).


   These parameters may be configured as default parameters for any PCEP
   session the PCEP speaker participates in, or may apply to a specific
   session with a given PCEP peer or a specific group of sessions with a
   specific group of PCEP peers.


   5.2. Information and Data Models, e.g. MIB module

   Extensions to the PCEP MIB module defined in [PCEP-MIB] should be
   defined, so as to cover the WSON RWA information introduced in this
   document. A future revision of this document will list the
   information that should be added to the MIB module.

   5.3. Liveness Detection and Monitoring

   Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new liveness
   detection and monitoring requirements in addition to those already
   listed in section 8.3 of [PCEP].


   5.4. Verifying Correct Operation

   Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new verification
   requirements in addition to those already listed in section 8.4 of
   [PCEP]

   5.5. Requirements on Other Protocols and Functional Components

   The PCE Discovery mechanisms ([ISIS PCED] and [OSPF PCED]) may be
   used to advertise WSON RWA path computation capabilities to PCCs.


   5.6. Impact on Network Operation

   Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new network
   operation requirements in addition to those already listed in section
   8.6 of [PCEP].



6. Security Considerations

   This document has no requirement for a change to the security models
   within PCEP [PCEP]. However the additional information distributed in
   order to address the RWA problem represents a disclosure of network
   capabilities that an operator may wish to keep private. Consideration
   should be given to securing this information.



7. IANA Considerations

   A future revision of this document will present requests to IANA for
   codepoint allocation.



8. Acknowledgments

   The authors would like to thank Adrian Farrel for many helpful
   comments that greatly improved the contents of this draft.
