Title : Guard Bands requirements for GMPLS controlled optical networks Author(s) : Daniele Ceccarelli Giulio Bottari Nicola Sambo Fatai Zhang Ramos Casellas Filename : draft-cbcs-ccamp-sson-guard-bands-reqs-00.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2012-03-05 The continuous increase of flexibility and bit rate in optical networks has higher and higher impacts on inter-channel effects (e.g. Cross-phase modulations). This effect leads to the introduction of Guard Bands between adjacent light paths in order to reduce the inter-channel detrimental effects. This document provides requirements for the devolpment of protocol extensions to support Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) and Path Computation Element (PCE) management of Guard Bands.
