WSON Signaling Extensions • Provide extensions to Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling for control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON). Changes from 02: • Added requirements for support of distributed wavelength assignment applications/optimizations. • Generalized Wavelength Set Metric TLV for additional use scenarios/applications. • Added explanatory text on three new applications/optimizations.
New WSON Signaling Requirements • Distributed Wavelength Assignment Support: • Backward Blocking Reduction In WSON without wavelength converters, backward blocking due to resource contentions is the predominant blocking contribution, when traffic load is low or highly-dynamic as when lightpath restoration takes place [Giorgetti08]. • Efficient Wavelength Converter Assignment When a WSON has some nodes with wavelength converters the efficient use of these scarce resources is desired [Andriolli06]. • Shared Mesh Wavelength Assignment The reuse of protection bandwidth is desirable in some applications. In WSONs we need to consider wavelength selection in this process [Ji].

Next Steps • Adopt as a WG document • Work to finalize signal characterization • (working with ITU-T on this) • Assess demand for distributed bidirectional lightpath assignment using different wavelengths on different directions. • Revise encodings as necessary
