RFC 7688 Title: GMPLS OSPF Enhancement for Signal and Network Element Compatibility for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks Author: Y. Lee, Ed., G. Bernstein, Ed. Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: November 2015 Mailbox: leeyoung@huawei.com, gregb@grotto-networking.com Pages: 12 Characters: 25429 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ccamp-wson-signal-compatibility-ospf-17.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7688 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7688 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 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. This document is a product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
