1. Introduction

   [G.694.1v1] defines the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)
   frequency grids for WDM applications. A frequency grid is a
   reference set of frequencies used to denote allowed nominal central
   frequencies that may be used for defining applications. The channel
   spacing, i.e. the frequency spacing between two allowed nominal
   central frequencies could be 12.5 GHz, 25 GHz, 50 GHz, 100 GHz and
   integer multiples of 100 GHz as defined in [G.694.1v1]. All of the
   wavelengths on a fiber should use different central frequencies and
   occupy a fixed bandwidth of frequency.

   [G.FLEXIGRID], an updated version of [G.694.1v1] has been consented
   in December 2011 in support of flexi-grids. The terms "frequency
   slot (The frequency range allocated to a channel and unavailable to
   other channels within a flexi-grid)" and "slot width" (the full
   width of a frequency slot in a flexi-grid) are introduced to address
   flexi-grids. A channel is represented as a LSC (Lambda Switching
   Capable) LSP in the control plane, i.e. a LSC LSP should occupy a
   frequency slot on each fiber it traverses. In the case of flexi-grid,
   different LSC LSPs may have different slot width on a fiber, i.e.
   the slot width is flexible on a fiber.

   [WSON-OSPF] defines the OSPF-TE extensions for WSON networks, which
   focuses on the fixed grids of DWDM. [GEN-OSPF] defines OSPF-TE
   extensions in support of the general network element constraints
   under the control of GMPLS. This document describes the additional
   requirements and extensions of routing protocol brought by flexi-
   grid.

   This document uses the DWDM link model which is shown in [SSON-FWK]
   to describe the requirement and extensions for routing. The flexi-
   grid related terminologies can also refer to [SSON-FWK].

2. Terminology

   Flexi-grid: See [SSON-FWK].

   Slot Width: See [SSON-FWK].

   Frequency Range: See [SSON-FWK].

   SSON: Spectrum-Switched Optical Networks; See [SSON-FWK].

   Flexi-LSP: See [SSON-FWK].

3. Requirements for Flexi-grid Routing

   As described in [SSON-FWK], the main changes for routing brought by
   flexible grid are related to the DWDM links.

3.1. Available Frequency Ranges

   In the case of flexi-grids, the central frequency steps from 193.1
   THz with 6.25 GHz granularity. The central frequency is calculated
   as follows:

   Central Frequency = 193.1 THz + n * 0.00625 THz



Zhang                       Expires 2012                      [Page 3]


draft-zhang-ccamp-flexible-grid-ospf-ext-01.txt              March 2012


   Where n is a positive or negative integer including 0.

   Different flexi-LSPs could occupy frequency slots with different
   slot width. The frequency slot width of a flexi-LSP is defined as
   follows:

              Slot width = 0.0125 THz * m

   Where m is a positive integer.

   The frequency slot of a flexi-LSP can be determined by the slot
   width and central frequency as follows.

   Lowest frequency = (central frequency) - (slot width)/2

                    = (193.1 + n * 0.00625) - (0.0125 * m)/2

                    = (193.1 + (n - m) * 0.00625) THz;

   Highest frequency = (central frequency) + (slot width)/2

                    = (193.1 + n * 0.00625) + (0.0125 * m)/2

                    = (193.1 + (n + m) * 0.00625) THz;

   On a DWDM link, the frequency slots must not overlap with each other.
   However, the border frequencies of two frequency slots may be the
   same frequency, i.e. the highest frequency of a frequency slot may
   be the lowest frequency of the next frequency slot.


                         Frequency Slot 1   Frequency Slot 2
                           +-----------+-----------------------+

                    Central F = 193.1THz    Central F = 193.1375 THz
                     Slot width = 25 GHz    Slot width = 50 GHz

                 Figure 1 - Two Frequency Slots on a link

   Figure 1 shows two adjacent frequency slots on a link. The highest
   frequency of frequency slot 1 denoted by n=2 is the lowest frequency

   of slot 2. In this example, it means that the frequency range from
   n=-2 to n=10 is occupied and is unavailable to other flexi-LSPs.

   Hence, the available frequency ranges should be advertised for the
   flexi-grid DWDM links. A set of non-overlapping available frequency
   ranges SHOULD be disseminated in order to allow efficient resource
   management of Flexi-grid DWDM links and RSA procedures which are
   described in section 4 of [SSON-FWK].

3.2. Application Compliance Considerations

   As described in [G.FLEXIGRID], devices or applications that make use
   of the flexi-grid may not have to be capable of supporting every
   possible slot width or position. In other words, applications may be
   defined where only a subset of the possible slot widths and
   positions are required to be supported.

   For example, an application could be defined where the nominal
   central frequency granularity is 12.5 GHz (by only requiring values
   of n that are even) and that only requires slot widths as a multiple
   of 25 GHz (by only requiring values of m that are even).

   Hence, the following information should be advertised for a flexi-
   grid DWDM link:

   o Central frequency granularity: a multiple of 6.25 GHz.

   o Slot width granularity: a multiple of 12.5 GHz.

   o Slot width range: the minimal and maximal slot width supported by
      a port.

   The combination of slot width range and slot width granularity can
   be used to determine the slot widths set supported by a port.

3.3. Comparison with Fix-grid DWDM Links

   In case of fix-grid DWDM links, each wavelength has a pre-defined
   central frequency and all the wavelengths occupy the same frequency
   range (channel spacing). Hence all the wavelengths in the DWDM links
   can be identified uniquely and the status (available or not) of the
   wavelengths can be advertised through routing protocol.

      Figure 2 - A Link supports Fixed Wavelengths with 50 GHz Channel
                                 Spacing

   Figure 2 shows a link that supports fix-grid with 50 GHz channel
   spacing. The central frequencies of the wavelengths are pre-defined
   by 'n' and each wavelength occupies a fixed 50 GHz frequency range
   as described in [G.694.1v1].

   Different from the fix-grid DWDM links, the slot width of the
   wavelengths are flexible on a flexi-grid DWDM link as described in
   section 2.1, i.e., the value of m in the formula is uncertain before
   a frequency slot is allocated. So, the available frequency ranges
   instead of the specific "wavelengths" should be advertised for a
   flexi-grid DWDM link.

4. Extensions

   As described in [SSON-FWK], the network connectivity topology
   constructed by the links/nodes and node capabilities are the same as
   WSON which can be advertised by GMPLS routing protocol (refer to
   section 6.2 of [RFC6163].  In case of flexi-grid, the available
   frequency ranges instead of the specific "wavelengths" should be
   advertised for the link, which is different from the fixed grid DWDM.
   This section defines the GMPLS OSPF-TE extensions in support of
   advertising the available frequency ranges for the flexi-grid DWDM
   links.

4.1. Available Labels Set sub-TLV

   As described in section 2.1, the available frequency ranges other
   than the available frequency slots should be advertised for the
   flexi-grid DWDM links. The Available Labels Set sub-TLV defined in
   [GEN-OSPF] can be re-used to advertise the available frequency
   ranges for the flexi-grid DWDM links.

   The label format defined in [FLEXIBLE-SIG] shown below MUST be used
   to encode the Label fields in Available Labels Set sub-TLV:

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

   In case of Grid=1 (ITU-T DWDM), a new value of C.S. is defined for
   flexible grid.

   If the C.S. is set to "Flexible grid" in an Available Labels Set
   sub-TLV, it means that the corresponding link supports flexible grid.

   Note that according to the label format defined in [FLEXIBLE-SIG],
   for the case where the channel spacing value is set to "Flexible
   grid", a channel spacing of 6.25 GHz should be used in the central
   frequency computation formula.

4.1.1. Inclusive/Exclusive Label Range

   The inclusive/exclusive label ranges format of Available Labels Set
   sub-TLV defined in [GEN-OSPF] can be used for specifying the
   frequency ranges of the flexi-grid DWDM links.

    0                   1                   2                   3

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

   Note that it needs multiple Available Labels Set sub-TLVs if there
   are multiple discontinuous frequency ranges on a link.

4.1.2. Inclusive/Exclusive Label Lists

   The inclusive/exclusive label lists format of Available Labels Set
   sub-TLV defined in [GEN-OSPF] can be used for specifying the
   available central frequencies of the flexi-grid DWDM links.

4.1.3. Bitmap

   The bitmap format of Available Labels Set sub-TLV defined in [GEN-
   OSPF] can be used for specifying the available central frequencies
   of the flexi-grid DWDM links.

    |    Bit Map Word #N (Highest numerical labels)                 |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   In this case, the Base Label specifies the lowest available central
   frequency.

   Each bit in the bit map represents a particular central frequency
   with a value of 1/0 indicating whether the central frequency is in
   the set or not. Bit position zero represents the lowest central
   frequency and corresponds to the base label, while each succeeding
   bit position represents the next central frequency logically above
   the previous.

4.2. Extensions to Port Label Restriction sub-TLV

   As described in Section 3.2, there are some restrictions on a port
   to support flexi-grid. Port Label Restriction sub-TLV is defined in
   [GEN-OSPF] that can be used to describe the label restrictions on a

   C.F.G (Central Frequency Granularity, 8 bits): A positive integer.
   Its value indicates the multiple of 6.25 GHz in terms of central
   frequency granularity.

   S.W.G (Slot Width Granularity, 8 bits): A positive integer. Its
   value indicates the multiple of 12.5 GHz in terms of slot width
   granularity.

   Min Width (8 bits): A positive integer. Its value indicates the
   multiple of 12.5 GHz in terms of the supported minimal slot width.

   Max Width (8 bits): A positive integer. Its value indicates the
   multiple of 12.5 GHz in terms of the supported maximal slot width.

4.3. Examples for Label Set

   Figure 3 shows an example of available frequency range of a flexi-
   grid DWDM link.

                      Figure 3 - Flexi-grid DWDM Link

   The symbol '+' represents the allowed nominal central frequency. The
   symbol "--" represents a 6.25 GHz frequency unit. The number on the
   top of the line represents the 'n' in the frequency calculation
   formula (193.1 + n * 0.00625). The nominal central frequency is
   193.1 THz when n equals zero.

   Assume that the central frequency granularity is 6.25GHz, the label
   set can be encoded as follows:

   o  Start Label = -2;
   o  End Label = 8.

   The available central frequencies (-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) can
   be deduced by the Inclusive Label Range, because the Central
   Frequency Granularity is 6.25 GHz.

   Inclusive Label Lists:

   o  Label 1 = -1;
   o  Label 2 = 0;
   o  Label 3 = 1;
   o  Label 4 = 2;
   o  Label 5 = 3;
   o  Label 6 = 4;
   o  Label 7 = 5;
   o  Label 8 = 6;
   o  Label 9 = 7.

   Bitmap:

   o  Base Label = -1;
   o  Bitmap = 111111111(padded out to a full multiple of 32 bits)

5. IANA Considerations

   This document introduces a new Restriction Type for the Port Label
   Restriction sub-TLV defined in [GEN-OSPF]:

   Restriction Type: TBA (flexi-grid)

6. Security Considerations

   This document does not introduce any further security issues other
   than those discussed in [RFC3630], [RFC4203].
