Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control plane
(c-plane) is expected to reduce operational expenditure (OPEX).
Currently we need to, however, manually configure interface
addresses of links before we advertise the link-state using a
GMPLS routing protocol for an automatic topology discovery
mechanism. Especially in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
networks, there are a number of optical fibers between neighbor
nodes, each of which again carries a bunch of wavelength links. It
is a tedious task to configure interface addresses of wavelength
links between neighbor nodes.
In order to suppress the tasks of configuring addresses of
wavelength links between neighbor nodes, an optical plug and play
(PnP) technique is effective. Optical PnP includes automatic
assignment of interface addresses, parameter information exchange
between neighbor nodes, database construction, and so on.
This document assumes to use extended version of LMP (link
management protocol) for information exchange and describes LMP
extension necessary for applying to the optical PnP.
