PCEP Extensions in support of WSON Signal Compatibility Constraints <draft-lee-pce-wson-signal-compatibility-00.txt> Young Lee ylee@huawei.com Huawei Greg Bernstein gregb@grotto-networking.com Grotto Networking
Motivation/Background • Signal compatibility is an essential path computation constraint in path computation of WSON networks where network elements can be limited to processing WSON signals with specific characteristics and attributes. • Signal compatibility framework has been addressed in the CCAMP WG as a part of WSON work items: <draft-bernstein-ccamp-wson-compatibility-01.txt>
Signal Compatibility Constraints • On a high-level the following network element information would be required for the path computation element (PCE) to be able to compute a constrained path that satisfies signal compatibility and processing constraints: • Input Compatibility: the type of signals it can receive (modulation types, rate, FEC types) • Regeneration Capability: the types of processing/enhancement it can perform (1R, 2R, 3R) • The types of conversions it can perform (modulation types, FEC types) • Output Format: the type of signals it can transmit (modulation types, rate, FEC types)
Requirement #1 • When requesting a path computation (PCReq) to PCE, the PCC should be able to indicate the following: • The acceptable signal attributes at the transmitter (at the source): (i) modulation types; (ii) FEC types • The acceptable signal attributes at the receiver (at the sink): (i) modulation types; (ii) FEC types • The GPID type of an LSP (This might have already been fulfilled in PCEP enhancements for GMPLS)
Requirements #2 • The PCE should be able to respond (PC Rep) to the PCC with the following: • The conformity of the requested optical characteristics associated with the resulting LSP with the source, sink and NE along the LSP. • Additional LSP attributes modified along the path (e.g., modulation format change, etc.) • Special node processing with the resulting LSP (e.g., regeneration point)
Example Attribute: Modulation Type List sub-TLV • S: Standard (1); Vendor Specific (0) • 1 : optical tributary signal class NRZ 1.25G • 2: optical tributary signal class NRZ 2.5G • 3: optical tributary signal class NRZ 10G • 4: optical tributary signal class NRZ 40G • 5: optical tributary signal class RZ 40G • I: Input Mod Format (1) Output (0)
Summary & Next Steps • Refine requirements. • Adopt as a PCE WG document
