Encoding RWA Info in WSON • Encoding of RWA information • Reduce info transmission burden • Reduce path computation burden • Changes from Encoding 00.txt • Used RBNF according to A. Farrel, "Reduced Backus-Naur Form (RBNF) A Syntax Used in Various Protocol Specifications", work in progress: draft-farrel-rtg-common-bnf-07.txt, October 2008. 73th IETF – Minneapolis, MN, November 2008
Encoding Overview • Sub-TLVs • Link Sets • Connectivity Matrix (Bipartite Graph) • Wavelength Sets • Port Wavelength Restrictions • Composite TLVs • Node TLV, Dynamic Node TLV • Link TLV, Dynamic Link TLV 73th IETF – Minneapolis, MN, November 2008
Connectivity Matrix Encoding & Representation • Criteria • Reduce amount of information to transmit (scaling of control plane) • Reduce number of (internal) nodes and links needed to represent an asymmetric WDM switch (scaling of path computation algorithms is usually in terms of # of nodes and # of links). • Techniques • Sparse matrix • Minimum cover of complete bipartite subgraphs 73th IETF – Minneapolis, MN, November 2008
Next Steps • Adopt as Working Group Document • Encode Wavelength Converter Pools • Interconnection structure, Converter properties, Converter ingress/egress constraints, Converter Status • Finalize switch encoding • Multiple fixed and switched blocks or at most one of each? 73th IETF – Minneapolis, MN, November 2008
