Abstract

   This memo provides the Path Computation Element communication
   Protocol (PCEP) extensions for the support of signal compatibility
   constraints in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON).

   Signal compatibility is an essential path computation constraint in

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 the Path Computation Element communication
   Protocol (PCEP) extensions for the support of signal compatibility
   constraints in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON). Signal
   compatibility is an essential path computation constraint in path
   computation of WSON networks where network elements can be limited to
   processing WSON signals with specific characteristics and attributes.

   Signals used in a WSON are not always compatible with common network
   elements including regenerators, OEO switches, wavelength converters,
   etc. [WSON-Compat] defines the GMPLS control plane framework that
   allows both multiple WSON signal types and common hybrid electro
   optical systems. Reference [WSON-Compat] characterizes WSON signals
   in line with ITU-T standards, and adds attributes describing signal
   compatibility constraints to WSON network elements.

   [CompatOSPF] provides GMPLS OSPF routing enhancements to support
   signal compatibility constraints associated with WSON network
   elements. On a high-level the following network element information
   would be required for the path computation element (PCE) to be able

   to compute a constrained path that satisfies signal compatibility and
   processing constraints:

      . Input Compatibility: the type of signals it can receive
         (modulation types, rate, FEC types)

      . Regeneration Capability: the types of processing/enhancement
         it can perform (1R, 2R, 3R)

      . The types of conversions it can perform (modulation types, FEC
         types)

      . Output Format: the type of signals it can transmit (modulation
         types, rate, FEC types)





2. PCEP Requirements

   This section provides a set of PCEP requirements to support signal
   compatibility constraints.

   When requesting a path computation (PCReq) to PCE, the PCC should be
   able to indicate the following:

   o  The acceptable signal attributes at the transmitter (at the
      source): (i) modulation types; (ii) FEC types

   o  The acceptable signal attributes at the receiver (at the sink):
      (i) modulation types; (ii) FEC types

   o  The GPID type of an LSP



   The PCE should be able to respond (PC Rep) to the PCC with the
   following:

   o  The conformity of the requested optical characteristics associated
      with the resulting LSP with the source, sink and NE along the LSP.

   o  Additional LSP attributes modified along the path (e.g.,
      modulation format change, etc.)

   o  Special node processing with the resulting LSP (e.g., regeneration
      point)

3. PCEP Extensions (Encoding)

   This section provides PCEP encoding to support the identified
   requirements in Section 2.

3.1. The PCC to PCE Interface

   This section provides the enhancements to the RP Object and its
   associated sub-TLV in the PC Request message from the PCC to the PCE
   interface to support signal compatibility constraints.

           3.1.1. Signal Compatibility Indicator in the RP Object in
              the PC Request Message

   The RP object should have a bit indicating that signal compatibility
   check (say SC bit) should be performed for a path computation.

           3.1.2. Modulation Type List sub-TLV

   When the SC bit in the RP Object is set to 1, then the RP object
   should include the Modulation Type List TLV associated with the
   request. Modulation types listed in the Modulation Type List TLV
   indicate allowable modulation types in both the source (transmitter)
   and the sink (receiver).

   The modulation type list sub-TLV may consist of two different types
   of fields: a standard modulation field or a vendor specific
   modulation field. Both start with the same 32 bit header shown below.

      0                   1                   2                   3

     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


   Where S bit set to 1 indicates a standardized modulation format and S
   bit set to 0 indicates a vendor specific modulation format. The
   length is the length in bytes of the entire modulation type field.

   Where I bit set to 1 indicates an input modulation format and where I
   bit set to 0 indicates an output modulation format. Note that the
   source modulation type is implied when I bit is set to 0 and that the
   sink modulation type is implied when I bit is set to 1.

   should include the FEC Type List TLV associated with the request. FEC
   types listed in the FEC Type List TLV indicate allowable modulation

   Where T bit indicates the type of regenerator:

      T=0: Reserved

      T=1: 1R Regenerator

      T=2: 2R Regenerator

      T=3: 3R Regenerator

   Where C bit indicates the capability of regenerator:

      C=0: Reserved

      C=1: Fixed Regeneration Point

      C=2: Selective Regeneration Pools

   Note that when the capability of regenerator is indicated to be
   Selective Regeneration Pools, regeneration pool properties such as
   ingress and egress restrictions and availability need to be
   specified. This encoding is to be determined in the later revision.







4. Manageability Considerations

   This document does not add additional manageability considerations.

5. 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.



6. IANA Considerations

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