RFC 7449 Title: Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Requirements for Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) Routing and Wavelength Assignment Author: Y. Lee, Ed., G. Bernstein, Ed., J. Martensson, T. Takeda, T. Tsuritani, O. Gonzalez de Dios Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: February 2015 Mailbox: leeyoung@huawei.com, gregb@grotto-networking.com, jonas.martensson@acreo.se, tomonori.takeda@ntt.com, tsuri@kddilabs.jp, oscar.gonzalezdedios@telefonica.com Pages: 12 Characters: 25117 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pce-wson-routing-wavelength-15.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7449 This memo provides application-specific requirements for the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for the support of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs). Lightpath provisioning in WSONs requires a Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) process. >From a path computation perspective, wavelength assignment is the process of determining which wavelength can be used on each hop of a path and forms an additional routing constraint to optical light path computation. Requirements for PCEP extensions in support of optical impairments will be addressed in a separate document. This document is a product of the Path Computation Element Working Group of the IETF.
