Abstract
Recent progress of the Optical Transport Network (OTN) has introduced
new signal types (i.e., ODU0, ODU4, ODU2e, ODU3e1, ODU3e2 and ODUflex)
and new Tributary Slot granularity (1.25Gbps).
Since equipments deployed prior to recently defined ITU-T
recommendations only support 2.5 Gbps Tributary Slot granularity and

ODU1, ODU2 and ODU3 containers, the compatibility problem should be
considered. In addition, a Higher Order ODU (HO ODU) link may not
support all the types of Lower Order ODU (LO ODU) signals defined by
the new OTN standards because of the limitation of the devices at the
two ends of a link. In these cases, the control plane is required to
run the capability discovering functions for the evolving OTN.
This document describes the extensions to the Link Management
Protocol (LMP) needed to discover the capability of HO ODU link,
including the granularity of Tributary Slot to be used and the LO ODU
signal types that the link can support.

1. Introduction
The Link Management Protocol (LMP) defined in [RFC4204] is being
developed as part of the Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) protocol suite to
manage Traffic Engineering (TE) links.
Recently, great progress has been made for the Optical Transport
Networking (OTN) technologies in ITU-T. New ODU containers (i.e.,
ODU0, ODU4, ODU2e, ODU3e1, ODU3e2 and ODUflex) and a new Tributary
Slot (TS) granularity (1.25Gbps) have been introduced by the [G709-
Amd3], [Gsup43] and [G709draft-v3], enhancing the flexibility of OTNs.
With the evolution and deployment of G.709 technology, the backward
compatibility problem requires to be considered. In data plane, the
equipment supporting 1.25Gbps TS can combine the specific Tributary
Slots together (e.g., combination of TS#i and TS#i+4 on an HO ODU2
link) so that it can interwork with other equipments which support
2.5Gbps TS. From the control plane point of view, it is necessary to
discover which type of TS is supported at both ends of a link, so
that it can choose and reserve the TS resources correctly in this
link for the connection.
Additionally, the requirement of discovering the signal types of
Lower Order ODU (LO ODU) that can be supported by a Higher Order ODU
(HO ODU) should be taken into account. Equipment at one end of an HO
ODU link may not support to transport some types of LO ODU signals
(e.g., may not support the ODUflex). In this case, this HO ODU link
should not be selected for those types of LO ODU connections.
From the perspective of control plane, it is necessary to discover
the capability of an HO ODUk or OTUk link including the granularity
of TS to be used and the LO ODU signal types that the link can
support. This document extends the LMP and describes the solution of
discovering HO ODU link capability.

document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
3. Overview of the Evolving G.709
The traditional OTN standard [G709-Amd1] describes the optical
transport hierarchy (OTH) and introduces three ODU signal types (i.e.,
ODU1, ODU2 and ODU3). The ODUj can be mapped into one or more
Zhang Expires March 2010 [Page 3]
draft-zhang-ccamp-gmpls-g.709-lmp-discovery-00.txt September 2009
Tributary Slots (with a granularity of 2.5Gbps) of OPUk where j<k.
The ODUj can also be mapped into OTUj (j=1, 2 or 3) directly.
Recent revisions of ITU-T Recommendation G.709 have introduced new
features for Optical Transport Networks (OTN) ODU0, ODU4, ODU2e,
ODU3e1, ODU3e2 and ODUflex. The new features for the evolutive OTN
are described in the separate ITU-T documents. ODU0, ODU2e and ODU4
are described in [G709-Amd3]. ODU3e1 and ODU3e2 are described in
[Gsup43]. And ODUflex is being developed in [G709draft-v3].
The ITU-T documents also define the new multiplexing hierarchy for
the evolving OTN. In this multiplexing hierarchy, LO ODUj can be
mapped into an OTUj, or multiplexed into an HO ODUk (where j<k) by
occupying several tributary slots.
In case of LO ODUj mapping into OTUj, the following mappings are
defined:
o ODU1 into OTU1 mapping
o ODU2 into OTU2 mapping
o ODU3 into OTU3 mapping
o ODU4 into OTU4 mapping
o ODU2e into OTU2e mapping
In case of LO ODUj multiplexing into HO ODUk, a new Tributary Slot
granularity (i.e., 1.25Gbps) is introduced in [G709-Amd3]. For the
evolving OTN, the multiplexing of ODUj (j = 0, 1, 2, 2e, 3, flex)
into an ODUk (k > j) signal can be depicted as follows:
- ODU0 into ODU1 multiplexing (with 1,25Gbps TS granularity)
- ODU0, ODU1, ODUflex into ODU2 multiplexing (with 1.25Gbps TS
granularity)
- ODU1 into ODU2 multiplexing (with 2.5Gbps TS granularity)
- ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU2e and ODUflex into ODU3 multiplexing
(with 1.25Gbps TS granularity)
- ODU1, ODU2 into ODU3 multiplexing (with 2.5Gbps TS granularity)
- ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU2e, ODU3 and ODUflex into ODU4
multiplexing (with 1.25Gbps TS granularity)
Zhang Expires March 2010 [Page 4]
draft-zhang-ccamp-gmpls-g.709-lmp-discovery-00.txt September 2009
- ODU2e into ODU3e1 multiplexing (with 2.5Gbps TS granularity)
- ODU2e into ODU3e2 multiplexing (with 1.25Gbps TS granularity)
In order to be backward compatible with the 2.5Gbps TS defined in
[G709-Amd1], both the 2.5Gbps TS and the 1.25Gbps TS can be used in
the two cases listed below:
o ODU1 into ODU2 multiplexing
o ODU1 and ODU2 into ODU3 multiplexing
3.1. Data Plane Backward Compatibility
Equipment supporting a 1.25Gbps TS structure for OPU2 or OPU3 must be
backward compatible with equipment which supports only the 2.5G TS
structure. Specific Tributary Slots must be combined together (e.g.,
combination of TS#i and TS#i+4 on an HO ODU2 link) for the LO ODU at
one end of the HO ODU link which supports the 1.25Gbps TS structure,
so that the LO ODU can be carried on the HO ODU link correctly.
In the following example, suppose that the two ends of an ODU2 or
ODU3 link support different TS structure, where node A supports the
1.25Gbps TS structure, while node B supports the 2.5Gbps TS, as shown
in the figure below:
+-----+ +-----+
| | | |
| A +-------ODU2/ODU3 link-------+ B |
| | | |
+-----+ +-----+
(Support 1.25G TS) (Support 2.5G TS)
o In case of ODU1 multiplexing into ODU2, node A maps the ODU1 into
the TS#i and TS#i+4 (where i<=4) (with the granularity of 1.25Gbps)
of OPU2, so that node B can retrieve the ODU1 from the TS#i (with
the granularity of 2.5Gbps) of the OPU2, and vice versa.
o In case of ODU1 multiplexing into ODU3, node A maps the ODU1 into
the TS#i and TS#i+16 (where i<=16) (with the granularity of
1.25Gbps) of OPU3, so that node B can retrieve the ODU1 from the
TS#i (with the granularity of 2.5Gbps) of the OPU3, and vice versa.
o In case of ODU2 multiplexing into ODU3, node A maps the ODU2 into
the TS#a/TS#a+16, TS#b/TS#b+16, TS#c/TS#c+16 and TS#d/TS#d+16
(where a<b<c<d<=16) (with the granularity of 1.25Gbps) of OPU3, so
Zhang Expires March 2010 [Page 5]
draft-zhang-ccamp-gmpls-g.709-lmp-discovery-00.txt September 2009
that node B can retrieve the ODU2 from the TS#a, TS#b, TS#c and
TS#d (with the granularity of 2.5Gbps) of the OPU3, and vice versa.
4. Link Capability Discovery Requirements
4.1. Discovering the Granularity of the TS
As described in section 3.1, if the two ends of a link use different
granularities of TS, The LO ODU must be mapped into specific combined
Tributary Slots in the end of link with TS of 1.25Gbps.
From the perspective of control plane, when creating a LO ODU
connection, the node MUST select and reserve specific TS for the
connection if the two ends of a link use different granularities of
TS. For example, for an ODU2 link, we suppose that node A only
supports the 2.5Gbps TS while node B supports the 1.25Gbps TS. When
node B receives a Path message from node A requesting an ODU1
connection, node B MUST reserve the TS#i and TS#i+4 (where i<=4)
(with the granularity of 1.25Gbps) and tell node A via the label
carried in the Resv message that the TS#i (with the granularity of
2.5Gbps) among the 4 slots has been reserved for the ODU1 connection.
Otherwise, the reservation procedure will fail.
+-----+ Path +-----+
| | ------------> | |
| A +-------ODU2 link-------+ B |
| | <------------- | |
+-----+ Resv +-----+
(Support 2.5G TS) (Support 1.25G TS)
Therefore, for an ODU2 or ODU3 link, in order to reserve TS resources
correctly for a LO ODU connection, the control plane of the two ends
MUST know which granularity the other end can support before creating
the LO ODU connection.
4.2. Discovering the Supported LO ODU Signal Types
Many new ODU signal types are introduced by [G709-Amd3], [Gsup43] and
[G709draft-v3], such as ODU0, ODU4, ODU2e, ODU3e1, ODU3e2 and ODUflex.
It is possible that equipment does not always support all the LO ODU
signal types introduced by those new standards or drafts. If one end
of an HO ODU link can not support a certain LO ODU signal type, the
HO ODU link can not be selected to carry such type of LO ODU
connection.
For example, in the following figure, if the interfaces IF1, IF2, IF8,
IF7, IF5 and IF6 can support ODUflex signals, while the interfaces IF
Zhang Expires March 2010 [Page 6]
draft-zhang-ccamp-gmpls-g.709-lmp-discovery-00.txt September 2009
3 and IF4 can not support ODUflex signals. In this case, if one
ODUflex connection from A to C is requested, link #1 and #2 should be
excluded, link #3 and link #4 are the candidates (the possible path
could be A-D-C through link #3 and link #4).
+-----+
link #3 | | link #4
+-----------------+ D +-----------------+
| IF8| |IF7 |
| +-----+ |
| |
|IF1 IF6|
+--+--+ +-----+ +--+--+
| | link #1 | | link #2 | |
| A +--------------+ B +--------------+ C |
| |IF2 IF3| |IF4 IF5| |
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+
Therefore, it is necessary for the two ends of an HO ODU link to
discover which types of LO ODU can be supported by the HO ODU link.
After discovering, the capability information can be flooded by IGP,
so that the correct path for an ODU connection can be calculated.
5. Extensions: LMP Link Summary Message
[RFC4204] defines the Link Management Protocol (LMP) which consists
of four main procedures: control channel management, link property
correlation, link connectivity verificataion, and fault management.
As part of LMP, the link property correlation is used to verify the
consistency of the TE and data link information on both sides of a
link. This document extends the link property correlation procedure
to discover the capability of both sides of an HO ODU link.
The designated HO ODU overhead bytes (e.g., the GCC1 and GCC2
overhead bytes) can be used as the control channel to carry the LMP
message after the HO ODU link is created. The out-band Data
Communication Network (DCN) can also be used.
5.1. Message Extension
Three messages are used for link property correlation: LinkSummary,
LinkSummaryAck and LinkSummaryNack Message. This document does not
change the basic procedure of LMP but just add a new subobject (HO
Zhang Expires March 2010 [Page 7]
draft-zhang-ccamp-gmpls-g.709-lmp-discovery-00.txt September 2009
ODU Link Capability Subobject) in the DATA_LINK object to carry the
capability of one end of an HO ODU link.
The formats of LinkSummary, LinkSummaryAck and LinkSummaryNack
messages are defined in [RFC4204].
5.1.1. LinkSummary Message
The local end of a TE link can send a LinkSummary message to the
remote end to start the negotiation about the capability that the TE
link can support.
One new Subobject named HO ODU Link Capability Subobject in the
DATA_LINK object is introduced by this document. This new subobect is
used to tell the remote end of the HO ODU link which are the TS
granularity and the LO ODU signal types that the local end can
support. When the DATA_LINK object carries the new HO ODU Link
Capability Subobject, the N flag SHOULD be set to 1 which means that
the subobject is negotiable.
5.1.2. LinkSummaryAck Message
The LinkSummaryAck message is used to tell the remote end that it has
the same capability as the remote end after the LinkSummary message
is received by the local end.
5.1.3. LinkSummaryNack Message
The LinkSummaryNack message is used to tell the remote end that it
has different capability from the remote end after the LinkSummary
message is received by the local end. The LinkSummaryNack message
also carries the HO ODU Link Capability Subobject in the DATA_LINK
object to tell the remote end the exact capability of the HO ODU link
after negotiation, i.e., the granularity of TS and the types of LO
ODU that both side of the HO ODU link can support.
5.2. Object Definitions
A new HO ODU Link Capability subobject type is introduced to the DATA
LINK object to carry the HO ODU link capability information. The
format of the new subobject is defined as follow:

5.3. Procedures
The Link Summary messages used for capability discovery for HO ODUk
or OTUk link are sent between adjacent nodes after the HO ODU link is
created or driven by some events (e.g., an operator command). The
procedure is described below:
o The local end of the HO ODU link sends a LinkSummary message
including one or more DATA_LINK objects, each of which contains
the Local_Interface_Id, the Remote_Interface_Id, and the HO ODU
link capability subobject. This subobject carries the capability
that the local end can support, i.e., the granularity of TS and
the set of LO ODU signal types that the local end can support. The
LinkSummary message is sent to the remote end.
o On receipt of the LinkSummary message, the remote end of the HO
ODU link firstly determines whether the local/remote Interface_Id
Zhang Expires March 2010 [Page 10]
draft-zhang-ccamp-gmpls-g.709-lmp-discovery-00.txt September 2009
mappings match those that are stored locally as described in
[RFC4204], and then obtains the HO ODU link capability subobject
and determines the capability of the HO ODU link that both ends
can support. The detail procedures are as follow:
- Only if both ends support the 1.25Gbps TS, the remote end would
choose the 1.25Gbps as the negotiated granularity for the HO
ODU link. In other cases, the 2.5Gbps TS MUST be used (i.e., if
the local end can support 1.25Gbps, and the remote end can
support 2.5Gbps, and then the local end should imitate 2.5Gbps).
- The remote end compares the two sets of LO ODU signal types
that the local end and the remote end can support, and
calculates the intersection of them, i.e., extracts all the LO
ODU signal types that both two ends can support. This
intersection is the set of LO ODU signal types that the HO ODU
link can support.
o If both the two ends support the same capability, i.e., they
support the same granularity of TS and the same LO ODU signal
types, the remote end replies a LinkSummaryAck message to the
local end. So the both ends know what capability the HO ODU link
can support.
o If the two ends support different capabilities, i.e., they support
different granularities of TS or different LO ODU signal types,
the remote end replies a LinkSummaryNack message to the local end.
The LinkSummaryNack message carries an ERROR_CODE object and one
or more DATA_LINK objects. The ERROR_CODE object indicates that
the two ends of the HO ODU link support different capabilities,
and the DATA_LINK object carries the HO ODU link capability
subobject which contains the negotiated granularity of TS and the
set of LO ODU signal types that both ends can support. The local
end can learn the HO ODU link capability after receiving the
LinkSummaryNack message.
o If the remote end does not support the HO ODU link capability
negotiation procedure, the LinkSummaryNack message MUST be
responded with an ERROR_CODE indicating the reason of rejection.
