Title : Framework for GMPLS based control of Flexi-grid DWDM networks Author(s) : Oscar Gonzalez de Dios Ramon Casellas Fatai Zhang Xihua Fu Daniele Ceccarelli Iftekhar Hussain Filename : draft-ogrcetal-ccamp-flexi-grid-fwk-00.txt Pages : 27 Date : 2012-07-05 Abstract: This document defines a framework and the associated control plane requirements for the GMPLS based control of flexi-grid DWDM networks. To allow efficient allocation of optical spectral bandwidth for high bit-rate systems, the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is extending the standard [G.694.1] to include the concept of flexible grid: a new DWDM grid has been developed within the ITU-T Study Group 15, by defining a set of nominal central frequencies, smaller channel spacings and the concept of "frequency slot". In such environment, a data plane connection is switched based on the allocated, variable- width optical spectrum frequency slot.
