To enable scaling of existing transport systems to ultra high data
rates of 1 Tbps and beyond, next generation systems providing super-
channel switching capability are currently being developed. To allow
efficient allocation of optical spectral bandwidth for such high bit
rate systems, International Telecommunication Union
Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is extending the
G.694.1 grid standard (termed "Fixed-Grid") to include flexible grid
(termed "Flex-Grid") support. This necessitates definition of new
label format for the Flex-Grid. This document defines a super-
channel label as a Super-Channel Identifier and an associated list
of contiguous or non-contiguous set of 12.5 GHz slices representing
optical spectrum of the super-channel. The label information can be
encoded using a fixed length or variable length format. This label
format can be used in GMPLS signaling and routing protocol to
establish super-channel based optical label switched paths (LSPs).
