Q.14/15 would like to inform the IETF CCAMP Working Group and the Routing Area Directors on progress on ASON routing, signalling, and discovery topics.
SG 15 has consented G.7715.1/ Y.1706.1 “ASON Routing Architecture and requirements for Link State protocols”. This Recommendation provides architecture and requirements for a link state realization of G.7715/Y.1706 and G.8080/Y.1304 and is protocol neutral. This may be of assistance to the ASON Routing Requirements design team.
There were no changes made to Discovery Recommendations. However, new issues were included in the G.7714.1 living list such as an Interoperable solution for ECC based discovery mechanisms. Question 9 of SG15 is assessing G.7714.1 discovery methods in the context of the existing equipment Recommendation G.783.
Two new draft recommendations related to Control Plane functions are being developed in SG15. These are G.fame, “Framework for ASON management” and G.7716, “Control plane initial establishment, reconfiguration and recovery”.
In signalling, a number of study points were added to the living list of G.7713 “Distributed call and connection management”. These include feedback, interaction with Vcat/LCAS, separation of call and connection parameters, and signalling resilience.
An interim meeting of Q.14/15 has been planned for 16 – 20 February 2004, located in North Carolina, USA. The Rapporteur for Q.14/15 invites the participation of the CCAMP WG in related discussions. Details of the agenda will be provided prior to the meeting. For those interested in further information and/or attending the interim meeting should contact the Rapporteur for Q.14/15 (H. Kam Lam, hklam@lucent.com) by 13 January 2004. Any contributions directed to the meeting must be submitted by 9 February 2004.
