The IESG has approved the following document: - 'GMPLS OSPF Enhancement for Signal and Network Element Compatibility for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks' (draft-ietf-ccamp-wson-signal-compatibility-ospf-17.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-wson-signal-compatibility-ospf/ Technical Summary This document provides Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing enhancements to support signal compatibility constraints associated with Wavelength- Switched Optical network (WSON) elements. These routing enhancements are applicable in common optical or hybrid electro-optical networks where not all of the optical signals in the network are compatible with all network elements participating in the network. This compatibility constraint model is applicable to common optical or hybrid electro optical systems such as Optical-Electronic-Optical (OEO) switches, regenerators, and wavelength converters since such systems can be limited to processing only certain types of WSON signals. Working Group Summary Nothing of note, document has multiple contributors and support by Working Group. Document Quality The base GMPLS routing protocol has been implemented. The extensions defined in this document are compatible with earlier implementations. Multiple implementers have stated their intent to implement, or have stated that they have already implemented, the mechanisms defined in this document.
