RFC 6163 Title: Framework for GMPLS and Path Computation Element (PCE) Control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs) Author: Y. Lee, Ed., G. Bernstein, Ed., W. Imajuku Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: April 2011 Mailbox: ylee@huawei.com, gregb@grotto-networking.com, imajuku.wataru@lab.ntt.co.jp Pages: 51 Characters: 115511 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ccamp-rwa-wson-framework-12.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6163.txt This document provides a framework for applying Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) and the Path Computation Element (PCE) architecture to the control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs). In particular, it examines Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) of optical paths. This document focuses on topological elements and path selection constraints that are common across different WSON environments; as such, it does not address optical impairments in any depth.
