Title: Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) RSVP-TE Signalling in support of Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON)
State: Active
Authors: John Drake
Group: Common Control and Measurement Plane (ccamp)
Date: 2004-07-22
This document specifies how Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) RSVP-TE signaling may
be used and extended to satisfy the requirements of the Automatically
Switched Optical Network (ASON) architecture specified by the ITU-T. The
requirements are in a companion document 'Requirements for Generalized MPLS
(GMPLS) Usage and Extensions for Automatically Switched Optical Network
(ASON).' In particular, this document details the mechanisms for setting up
Soft Permanent Connections (SPC), the necessary extensions in delivering
full and logical call/connection separation support, the extended restart
capabilities during control plane failures, extended label usage and
crankback signalling capability. The mechanisms proposed in this document
are applicable to any environment (including multi-area) and for any type
of interface: packet, layer-2, time-division multiplexed, lambda or fiber
switching.
