Requirements for GMPLS-based multi-region andmulti-layer networks (MRN/MLN)draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-mln-reqs-01.txt CCAMP WG, IETF 66 Jul. 10, 2006 Kohei Shiomoto (NTT) Dimitri Papadimitriou (Alcatel) Jean-Louis Le Roux (France Telecom) Martin Vigoureux (Alcatel) Deborah Brungard (AT&T) Eiji Oki (NTT) Ichiro Inoue (NTT) Emmanuel Dotaro (Alcatel)
Changes since Dallas (1) • Clarified client/server relationship • Customer network provided on top of a server MRN/MLN • MLN/MRN services • The customer network may form part of the MRN/MLN or may be partially separated • E.g. separate routing instances • Multiple control plane instances addressed as part of the client/server relationship • MLN definition kept as is: • "A set of LSR with multiple data plane layers of either the same ISC or different ISCs, controlled by a single GMPLS control plane instance"
Changes since Dallas (2) • Added some requirements • FA LSP rerouting MUST be possible while the FA LSP is carrying traffic, with minimal traffic disruption • Virtual TE link creation/deletion MUST be under the control of operator policy • Some rewordings for the sake of clarity
Next Steps • Requirements for control plane separation between client and server layers • Support for administrative boundary between client and server MLN/MRN network , minimizing impact on the customer network design, operation, and administration • Support for path computation across separated TEDs associated with client and server MLN/MRN network • Support for association between TE-links in separated TEDs associated with client and server MLN/MRN networks • Discussion should continue on the list
Evaluation of existing GMPLS protocols against MLN requirementsdraft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-mln-eval-01.txt CCAMP WG, IETF 66 July 10, 2006 Jean-Louis Le Roux (France Telecom) Deborah Brungard (AT&T) Eiji Oki (NTT)Dimitri Papadimitriou (Alcatel)Kohei Shiomoto (NTT)Martin Vigoureux (Alcatel) Ichiro Inoue (NTT) Emmanuel Dotaro (Alcatel)
Evaluation Summary • Four areas, where extensions of GMPLS protocols and procedures are required, have been identified • GMPLS signaling extension for the setup/deletion of virtual TE-links • GMPLS routing and signaling extension for graceful TE-link deletion • GMPLS signaling extension for constrained multi-region signaling (SC inclusion/exclusion) • GMPLS routing extension for the advertisement of the internal adaptation capability of hybrid nodes.
Changes since Dallas • Alignedclient/server relationship with the requirement draft • Clarified analysis of the VNT reconfiguration function • Clear distinction between elementary functional blocks • Collection of traffic demands of an upper layer • VNT Management (decision to setup/remove FA-LSPs, FA config) • VNT Computation • There functions can be distributed on networks elements and/or centralized • Anyway, no need for GMPLS protocol extensions here • Detailed analysis of virtual TE link function • Two approaches • Soft-FA: LSP signaled but data plane resources not committed => Could rely on procedures similar to secondary LSPs (shared meshed restoration) • Remote Association: LSP not signaled, TE link ids and parameters exchanged between FA end-points => Could rely on extensions to the Call procedure (with Notify messages) • Pros and cons are discussed • Soft FA: More admission control capabilities, but scalability limitations • Remote Association: Scales well but less admission control
Next Steps • Analyze requirements for control plane separation between client and server layers • Path computation across separated TEDs • Association of TE-links in separated TEDs • Client/MLN administrative boundaries • Continue discussion on the list
(GMPLS) Protocol Extensions for Multi-Layer and Multi-Region Networks (MLN/MRN)draft-papadimitriou-ccamp-gmpls-mrn-extensions-02.txt CCAMP WG, IETF 66 July 10, 2006 Dimitri Papadimitriou (Alcatel)Kohei Shiomoto (NTT) Martin Vigoureux (Alcatel) Deborah Brungard (AT&T) Jean-Louis Le Roux (France Telecom) Ichiro Inoue (NTT) Emmanuel Dotaro (Alcatel) Gert Grammel (Alcatel)
Overview • This draft defines GMPLS protocol extensions for Multi Layer Networks • Currently two protocol extensions defined • Routing extensions for the advertisement of the Internal Adaptation Capabilities: • IACD sub-TLV to be carried within the ISIS Extended IS Reacheability TLV or the OPSF Link TLV • Signaling extensions for SC inclusion exclusion • A new SC subobject to be carried within the ERO and XRO
Next Steps • Draft restructuring to focus on GMPLS protocol extensions • Clarify SC Inclusion/exclusion procedures • Define solution(s) for virtual TE links • WG feedback required • Adopt as WG doc?
