Title: Extensions to Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching in support of Waveband Switching
State: Active
Authors: Richard Douville
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-07-22
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) extends the MPLS control
plane to encompass layer 2, time-division, wavelength and spatial
switching. Along with the current development on IP over optical switching,
considerable advances in optical transport systems based on the multiple
optical switching granularities have been developed. Currently, GMPLS
considers two layers of optical granularity using wavelengths and fibers.
By introducing an extended definition of waveband switching, this document
specifies the corresponding GMPLS extensions, to further integrate optical
multi-granularity and benefit from the features of the corresponding
switching layers.
