Title : Framework and Requirements for GMPLS-based Control of Flexible Ethernet Network Author : Qilei Wang Filename : draft-wang-ccamp-flexe-fwk-00.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2016-03-08 Abstract: Flex Ethernet (FlexE) technology, which is defined by Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF), is a new kind of data plane technology and can be used to provides a generic mechanism for supporting a variety of Ethernet MAC rates that may or may not correspond to any existing Ethernet PHY rate. This includes MAC rates that are both greater than (through bonding) and less than (through sub-rate and channelization) the Ethernet PHY rates used to carry FlexE. Based on the applications/use cases given in the Flex Ethernet Implementation Agreement, this document defines a framework and control plane requirements for the application of existing GMPLS architecture and control plane protocols to the control of flexible Ethernet network. The actual extensions to the GMPLS protocols will be defined in companion documents.
