       Information Encoding for WSON with Impairments Validation
                draft-martinelli-ccamp-wson-iv-encode-06

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.ietf-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].

2.  Encoding

   This section details encoding for all elements defined within
   [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info].  Elements to encode are:

      Optical Parameter (OPTICAL_PARAM)

      Optical Impairment Vector (OIV)

      Impairment Matrix

      Impairment Resource Block Information

2.1.  Optical Parameter

   The OPTICAL_PARAM is defined as a sub-TLV object.

    0                   1                   2                   3
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |S|V|      Reserved             |  ParamSource  |    ParamID    |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                            Value                              |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                      Variance (Optional)                      |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   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.

   V: Variance bit.
         V=0 only parameter value, V=1 parameter value and variance.

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

   ParamSource = 1.
         Identify the ITU document that defines the following parameter
         list.  Currently [ITU.G697] defines this value 1 for this
         parameter.

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

         1.  Total Power (dBm)
             Not reported within [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info] parameter
             list but relates to Channel Power through the number of
             channels.

         2.  Channel Power (dBm).
             Referred as parameter L-3 in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info]

         3.  Reserved ("Frequency Deviation from Nominal, GHz", defined
             in [ITU.G697] but not used)

         4.  Reserved ("Wavelength Deviation from Nominal, nm", defined
             in [ITU.G697] but not used)

         5.  OSNR (db).
             Referred as parameter G-1 in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info]

         6.  Reserved.  (Q Factor, a pure number).
             Not reported within [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info] parameter
             list but is a known index for assessing channel quality.

         7.  PMD (ps).
             Referred as parameter G-3 in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info]

         8.  Residual Chromatic Dispersion (ps/nm).
             Referred as parameter G-2 in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info]

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

   Variance.
         Variance for the parameter, a 32 bit IEEE floating point
         number.

   According to [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info], there are some parameters
   required for the IV function not listed within [ITU.G697].  Current
   information source for such parameters is [LS78] hence, this document
   proposes to use a different value for the field parameter source.

   ParamSource = 0 (proposal).
         List of parameters within [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-iv-info].
         [Editor Note: Value to be confirmed through ITU Liaison].

   (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.

   The Impairment Vector is defined within Section 2.2.  All the other
   fields are defined within [RFC7581].

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document does not contain any IANA request.

5.  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.
