Abstract:
Multicasting over WDM optical networks has enabled many popular
Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) applications, such as video conference,
interactive distance learning, replicated database, distributed
computing, and so on. However, on the one hand, the low-rate
multicasting traffic demands cannot make full use of the capacity of
the entire wavelength, and on the other hand, new services such as
data center migration and cloud applications need higher transmission
rates and higher spectrum efficiency. Flexi-grid network is an
effective solution to address the problem of transmission rate and
spectrum utilization. It overcomes the fixed grid constraint of
Wavelength Swithched Optical Network (WSON) by using advanced
technologies such as coherent detection and Bandwidth Variable-
Wavelength Selective Switches (BV-WSS). Therefore, it is essential
to exploit multicasting over flexi-grid networks. This document
covers the requirements for supporting P2MP over flexi-grid
infrastructure. Specifically, the scope of requirements listed in
this document covers the functionality that should be supported by
the control plane.
