       Information Encoding for WSON with Impairments Validation
                draft-martinelli-ccamp-wson-iv-encode-02

Abstract

   Impairment-Aware (IA) Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA)
   function might be required in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks
   (WSON) that already support RWA.  This document defines proper
   encoding to support this operation.  It goes in addition to the
   available impairment-free WSON encoding and it is fully compatible
   with it.

   As the information model, the encoding is independent from control
   plane architectures and protocol implementations.  Its definitions
   can be used in related protocol extensions.

1.  Introduction

   In case of WSON where optical impairments play a significant role,
   the framework document [RFC6566] defines related control plane
   architectural options for Impairment Aware Routing and Wavelength
   Assignment (IA-RWA).  This document provides a suitable encoding for
   the related WSON impairment information model as defined
   [I-D.martinelli-ccamp-wson-iv-info].

   This document directly refers to ITU recommendations [ITU.G680] and
   [ITU.G697] as already detailed in the information model.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

   The following flag is defined:

      S. Standard bit.  S=1 indentifies a set of parameters standardized
      by ITU; while S=0 identifies a non-standardized set of parameters.

   With the flag S=1 the following parameters are defined:

      ParamSource.  Where this parameter is defined.  Currently only
      [ITU.G697] has defined this with value 1.

      ParamID.  Parameter identifier according to the source.
      [ITU.G697] table V.3 defines the following identifiers:

         1.  Total Power (dBm)

         2.  Channel Power (dBm)

         3.  Reserved (Defined in [ITU.G697] but not used)

         4.  Reserved (Defined in [ITU.G697] but not used)

         5.  OSNR (db)

         6.  Q Factor (a pure number)

         7.  PMD (ps)

         8.  Residual Chromatic Dispersion (ps/nm)

      Value.  Value for the parameter.  As defined by [ITU.G697], it is
      a 32 bit IEEE floating point number.

      inclusive range will be the only option required by the Action
      defined in the Label Set.

2.3.  Impairment Matrix

   As defined by the [I-D.martinelli-ccamp-wson-iv-info], the impairment
   matrix follows the same structure as the connectivity matrix.

   [Xian's note]: (1) Similar problem as mentioned above applies, the
   structure differs when N is set to different values; so they should
   be described separately; (2) I would prefer the "W" stay with the
   previous structure. (3) Since the format of impairment matrix does
   not follow exactly as the connectivity matrix. i would suggest
   revising the sentence above to reflect this.

      Connectivity: value MUST be 2 for the impairment matrix (Values 0
      and 1 are already defined by
      [I-D.ietf-ccamp-general-constraint-encode].

      MatrixID: matrix identifier, the scope of this integer number is
      shared with [I-D.ietf-ccamp-rwa-info].

      N: Node scope flag.  With this flag set there's no Link Set
      information but only a list of optical parameters TLVs that apply
      to the whole optical node.

   The usage of multiple matrixes with connectivity type equal to 2
   (Impairment Matrix) MIGHT be used to grup optical parameters by
   connectivity.  For example, if a subset of parameters apply to the
   whole node, a unique matrix with flag N=1 is used.  At the same some
   another subset of parameters applies only to some LinkSet pairs, a
   specific Impairment Matrix will be added.

   This document does not contain any IANA request.

6.  Security Considerations

   This document defines an protocol-neutral encoding for an information
   model describing impairments in optical networks and it does not
   introduce any security issues.  If such a encoding is put into use
   within a network it will by its nature contain details of the
   physical characteristics of an optical network.  Such information
   would need to be protected from intentional or unintentional
   disclosure.
