Signaling Extensions for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks
Abstract
This document provides extensions to Generalized Multiprotocol Label
Switching (GMPLS) signaling for control of Wavelength Switched
Optical Networks (WSONs). Such extensions are applicable in WSONs
under a number of conditions including: (a) when optional processing,
such as regeneration, must be configured to occur at specific nodes
along a path, (b) where equipment must be configured to accept an
optical signal with specific attributes, or (c) where equipment must
be configured to output an optical signal with specific attributes.
This document provides mechanisms to support distributed wavelength
assignment with a choice of distributed wavelength assignment
algorithms.

RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
1. Introduction
This document provides extensions to Generalized Multiprotocol Label
Switching (GMPLS) signaling for control of Wavelength Switched
Optical Networks (WSONs). Fundamental extensions are given to permit
simultaneous bidirectional wavelength assignment, while more advanced
extensions are given to support the networks described in [RFC6163],
which feature connections requiring configuration of input, output,
and general signal processing capabilities at a node along a Label
Switched Path (LSP).
These extensions build on previous work for the control of lambda and
G.709-based networks.
Related documents are [RFC7446] that provides a high-level
information model and [RFC7581] that provides common encodings that
can be applicable to other protocol extensions such as routing.
2. Terminology
CWDM: Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing.
DWDM: Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing.
ROADM: Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer. A reduced port
count wavelength selective switching element featuring ingress and
egress line side ports as well as add/drop side ports.
RWA: Routing and Wavelength Assignment.
Wavelength Conversion/Converters: The process of converting
information bearing optical signal centered at a given frequency
(wavelength) to one with "equivalent" content centered at a
different wavelength. Wavelength conversion can be implemented
via an optical-electronic-optical (OEO) process or via a strictly
optical process.
WDM: Wavelength Division Multiplexing.
Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs): WDM-based optical
networks in which switching is performed selectively based on the
frequency of an optical signal.
AWG: Arrayed Waveguide Grating.
OXC: Optical Cross-Connect.
Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
Optical Transmitter: A device that has both a laser, tuned on a
certain wavelength, and electronic components that convert
electronic signals into optical signals.
Optical Receiver: A device that has both optical and electronic
components. It detects optical signals and converts optical
signals into electronic signals.
Optical Transponder: A device that has both an optical transmitter
and an optical receiver.
Optical End Node: The end of a wavelength (optical lambdas) lightpath
in the data plane. It may be equipped with some
optical/electronic devices such as wavelength
multiplexers/demultiplexer (e.g., AWG), optical transponder, etc.,
which are employed to transmit/terminate the optical signals for
data transmission.
FEC: Forward Error Correction. FEC is a digital signal processing
technique used to enhance data reliability. It does this by
introducing redundant data, called error correcting code, prior to
data transmission or storage. FEC provides the receiver with the
ability to correct errors without a reverse channel to request the
retransmission of data.
3R Regeneration: The process of amplifying (correcting loss),
reshaping (correcting noise and dispersion), retiming
(synchronizing with the network clock), and retransmitting an
optical signal.
2.1. Conventions Used in This Document
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 [RFC2119].
3. Requirements for WSON Signaling
The following requirements for GMPLS-based WSON signaling are in
addition to the functionality already provided by existing GMPLS
signaling mechanisms.
3.1. WSON Signal Characterization
WSON signaling needs to convey sufficient information characterizing
the signal to allow systems along the path to determine compatibility
and perform any required local configuration. Examples of such
systems include intermediate nodes (ROADMs, OXCs, wavelength
Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
converters, regenerators, OEO switches, etc.), links (WDM systems),
and end systems (detectors, demodulators, etc.). The details of any
local configuration processes are outside the scope of this document.
From [RFC6163], we have the following list of WSON signal
characteristics:
1. Optical tributary signal class (modulation format).
2. FEC: whether forward error correction is used in the digital
stream and what type of error correcting code is used
3. Center frequency (wavelength)
4. Bit rate
5. G-PID: General Protocol Identifier for the information format
The first three items on this list can change as a WSON signal
traverses a network with regenerators, OEO switches, or wavelength
converters. These parameters are summarized in the Optical Interface
Class as defined in [RFC7446], and the assumption is that a class
always includes signal compatibility information. An ability to
control wavelength conversion already exists in GMPLS signaling along
with the ability to share client signal type information (G-PID). In
addition, bit rate is a standard GMPLS signaling traffic parameter.
It is referred to as bandwidth encoding in [RFC3471].
3.2. Per-Node Processing Configuration
In addition to configuring a node along an LSP to input or output a
signal with specific attributes, we may need to signal the node to
perform specific processing, such as 3R regeneration, on the signal
at a particular node. [RFC6163] discussed three types of processing:
(A) Regeneration (possibly different types)
(B) Fault and Performance Monitoring
(C) Attribute Conversion
The extensions here provide for the configuration of these types of
processing at nodes along an LSP.
3.3. Bidirectional WSON LSPs
WSON signaling can support LSP setup consistent with the wavelength
continuity constraint for bidirectional connections. The following
cases need to be supported separately:
(a) Where the same wavelength is used for both upstream and
downstream directions
Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
(b) Where different wavelengths are used for both upstream and
downstream directions.
This document will review existing GMPLS bidirectional solutions
according to WSON case.
3.4. Distributed Wavelength Assignment Selection Method
WSON signaling can support the selection of a specific distributed
wavelength assignment method.
This method is beneficial in cases of equipment failure, etc., where
fast provisioning used in quick recovery is critical to protect
carriers/users against system loss. This requires efficient
signaling that supports distributed wavelength assignment, in
particular, when the wavelength assignment capability is not
available.
As discussed in [RFC6163], different computational approaches for
wavelength assignment are available. One method is the use of
distributed wavelength assignment. This feature would allow the
specification of a particular approach when more than one is
implemented in the systems along the path.
3.5. Optical Impairments
This document does not address signaling information related to
optical impairments.
4. WSON Signal Traffic Parameters, Attributes, and Processing
As discussed in [RFC6163], single-channel optical signals used in
WSONs are called "optical tributary signals" and come in a number of
classes characterized by modulation format and bit rate. Although
WSONs are fairly transparent to the signals they carry, to ensure
compatibility amongst various networks devices and end systems, it
can be important to include key lightpath characteristics as traffic
parameters in signaling [RFC6163].
LSPs signaled through extensions provided in this document MUST apply
the following signaling parameters:
o Switching Capability = WSON-LSC [RFC7688]
o Encoding Type = Lambda [RFC3471]
o Label Format = as defined in [RFC6205]
[RFC6205] defines the label format as applicable to LSC capable
devices.
Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
4.1. Traffic Parameters for Optical Tributary Signals
In [RFC3471] we see that the G-PID (client signal type) and bit rate
(byte rate) of the signals are defined as parameters, and in
[RFC3473] they are conveyed in the Generalized Label Request object
and the RSVP SENDER_TSPEC/FLOWSPEC objects, respectively.
4.2. WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV
Section 3.1 provides requirements to signal to a node along an LSP
what type of processing to perform on an optical signal and how to
configure itself to accept or transmit an optical signal with
particular attributes.
To target a specific node, this section defines a WSON Processing Hop
Attribute TLV. This TLV is encoded as an attributes TLV; see
[RFC5420]. The TLV is carried in the ERO and RRO Hop Attributes
subobjects and processed according to the procedures defined in
[RFC7570]. The type value of the WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV
is 4 as assigned by IANA.
The WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV carries one or more sub-TLVs
with the following format:
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
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length | |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |
// Value //
| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| ... | Padding |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Type
The identifier of the sub-TLV.
Length
Indicates the total length of the sub-TLV in octets. That is, the
combined length of the Type, Length, and Value fields, i.e., two
plus the length of the Value field in octets.
Value
Zero or more octets of data carried in the sub-TLV.
Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
Padding
Variable
The entire sub-TLV MUST be padded with zeros to ensure four-octet
alignment of the sub-TLV.
Sub-TLV ordering is significant and MUST be preserved. Error
processing follows [RFC7570].
The following sub-TLV types are defined in this document:
Sub-TLV Name Type Length
--------------------------------------------------------------
ResourceBlockInfo 1 variable
WavelengthSelection 2 8 octets (2-octet padding)
The TLV can be represented in Reduced Backus-Naur Form (RBNF)
[RFC5511] syntax as:
<WSON Processing Hop Attribute> ::= <ResourceBlockInfo>
[<ResourceBlockInfo>] [<WavelengthSelection>]
4.2.1. ResourceBlockInfo Sub-TLV
The format of the ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV value field is defined in
Section 4 of [RFC7581]. It is a list of available Optical Interface
Classes and processing capabilities.
At least one ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV MUST be present in the WSON
Processing Hop Attribute TLV. No more than two ResourceBlockInfo
sub-TLVs SHOULD be present. Any present ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs
MUST be processed in the order received, and extra (unprocessed) sub-
TLVs SHOULD be ignored.
The ResourceBlockInfo field contains several information elements as
defined by [RFC7581]. The following rules apply to the sub-TLV:
o RB Set field can carry one or more RB Identifier. Only the first
RB Identifier listed in the RB Set field SHALL be processed; any
others SHOULD be ignored.
o In the case of unidirectional LSPs, only one ResourceBlockInfo
sub-TLV SHALL be processed, and the I and O bits can be safely
ignored.
Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
o In the case of a bidirectional LSP, there MUST be either:
(a) only one ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV present in a WSON
Processing Hop Attribute TLV, and the bits I and O both set to
1, or
(b) two ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs present, one with only the I
bit set and the other with only the O bit set.
o The rest of the information carried within the ResourceBlockInfo
sub-TLV includes the Optical Interface Class List, Input Bit Rate
List, and Processing Capability List. These lists MAY contain one
or more elements. These elements apply equally to both
bidirectional and unidirectional LSPs.
Any violation of these rules detected by a transit or egress node
SHALL be treated as an error and be processed per [RFC7570].
A ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV can be constructed by a node and added to
an ERO Hop Attributes subobject in order to be processed by
downstream nodes (transit and egress). As defined in [RFC7570], the
R bit reflects the LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTE and LSP_ATTRIBUTE semantic
defined in [RFC5420], and it SHOULD be set accordingly.
Once a node properly parses a ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV received in
an ERO Hop Attributes subobject (according to the rules stated above
and in [RFC7570]), the node allocates the indicated resources, e.g.,
the selected regeneration pool, for the LSP. In addition, the node
SHOULD report compliance by adding an RRO Hop Attributes subobject
with the WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV (and its sub-TLVs)
indicating the utilized resources. ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs
carried in an RRO Hop Attributes subobject are subject to [RFC7570]
and standard RRO processing; see [RFC3209].
4.2.2. WavelengthSelection Sub-TLV
Routing + Distributed Wavelength Assignment (R+DWA) is one of the
options defined by [RFC6163]. The output from the routing function
will be a path, but the wavelength will be selected on a hop-by-hop
basis.
As discussed in [RFC6163], the wavelength assignment can be either
for a unidirectional lightpath or for a bidirectional lightpath
constrained to use the same lambda in both directions.
In order to indicate wavelength assignment directionality and
wavelength assignment method, the WavelengthSelection sub-TLV is
carried in the WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV defined above.
Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
The WavelengthSelection sub-TLV value field is defined as:
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
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|W| WA Method | Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
W (1 bit): 0 denotes requiring the same wavelength in both
directions; 1 denotes that different wavelengths on both
directions are allowed.
Wavelength Assignment (WA) Method (7 bits):
0: unspecified (any); This does not constrain the WA method used
by a specific node. This value is implied when the
WavelengthSelection sub-TLV is absent.
1: First-Fit. All the wavelengths are numbered, and this WA
method chooses the available wavelength with the lowest index.
2: Random. This WA method chooses an available wavelength
randomly.
3: Least-Loaded (multi-fiber). This WA method selects the
wavelength that has the largest residual capacity on the most
loaded link along the route. This method is used in multi-
fiber networks. If used in single-fiber networks, it is
equivalent to the First-Fit WA method.
4-127: Unassigned.
The processing rules for this TLV are as follows:
If a receiving node does not support the attribute(s), its behaviors
are specified below:
- W bit not supported: a PathErr MUST be generated with the Error
Code "Routing Problem" (24) with error sub-code "Unsupported
WavelengthSelection Symmetry value" (107).
- WA method not supported: a PathErr MUST be generated with the
Error Code "Routing Problem" (24) with error sub-code "Unsupported
Wavelength Assignment value" (108).
Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015
A WavelengthSelection sub-TLV can be constructed by a node and added
to an ERO Hop Attributes subobject in order to be processed by
downstream nodes (transit and egress). As defined in [RFC7570], the
R bit reflects the LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTE and LSP_ATTRIBUTE semantic
defined in [RFC5420], and it SHOULD be set accordingly.
Once a node properly parses the WavelengthSelection sub-TLV received
in an ERO Hop Attributes subobject, the node use the indicated
wavelength assignment method (at that hop) for the LSP. In addition,
the node SHOULD report compliance by adding an RRO Hop Attributes
subobject with the WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV (and its sub-
TLVs) that indicate the utilized method. WavelengthSelection sub-
TLVs carried in an RRO Hop Attributes subobject are subject to
[RFC7570] and standard RRO processing; see [RFC3209].
5. Security Considerations
This document is built on the mechanisms defined in [RFC3473], and
only differs in the specific information communicated. The specific
additional information (optical resource and wavelength selection
properties) is not viewed as substantively changing or adding to the
security considerations of the existing GMPLS signaling protocol
mechanisms. See [RFC3473] for details of the supported security
measures. Additionally, [RFC5920] provides an overview of security
vulnerabilities and protection mechanisms for the GMPLS control
plane.
6. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned a new value in the existing "Attributes TLV Space"
registry located at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/rsvp-te-parameters>, as updated by
[RFC7570]:
Type Name Allowed on Allowed on Allowed on Reference
