   Signaling Extensions for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks

Abstract

 This document provides extensions to Generalized Multiprotocol Label
 Switching (GMPLS) signaling for control of Wavelength Switched
 Optical Networks (WSONs).  Such extensions are applicable in WSONs
 under a number of conditions including: (a) when optional processing,
 such as regeneration, must be configured to occur at specific nodes
 along a path, (b) where equipment must be configured to accept an
 optical signal with specific attributes, or (c) where equipment must
 be configured to output an optical signal with specific attributes.
 This document provides mechanisms to support distributed wavelength
 assignment with a choice of distributed wavelength assignment
 algorithms.

1. Introduction

 This document provides extensions to Generalized Multiprotocol Label
 Switching (GMPLS) signaling for control of Wavelength Switched
 Optical Networks (WSONs).  Fundamental extensions are given to permit
 simultaneous bidirectional wavelength assignment, while more advanced
 extensions are given to support the networks described in [RFC6163],
 which feature connections requiring configuration of input, output,
 and general signal processing capabilities at a node along a Label
 Switched Path (LSP).
 These extensions build on previous work for the control of lambda and
 G.709-based networks.
 Related documents are [RFC7446] that provides a high-level
 information model and [RFC7581] that provides common encodings that
 can be applicable to other protocol extensions such as routing.

2. Terminology

 CWDM: Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing.
 DWDM: Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing.
 ROADM: Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer.  A reduced port
    count wavelength selective switching element featuring ingress and
    egress line side ports as well as add/drop side ports.
 RWA: Routing and Wavelength Assignment.
 Wavelength Conversion/Converters: The process of converting
    information bearing optical signal centered at a given frequency
    (wavelength) to one with "equivalent" content centered at a
    different wavelength.  Wavelength conversion can be implemented
    via an optical-electronic-optical (OEO) process or via a strictly
    optical process.
 WDM: Wavelength Division Multiplexing.
 Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs): WDM-based optical
    networks in which switching is performed selectively based on the
    frequency of an optical signal.
 AWG: Arrayed Waveguide Grating.
 OXC: Optical Cross-Connect.

Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015

 Optical Transmitter: A device that has both a laser, tuned on a
    certain wavelength, and electronic components that convert
    electronic signals into optical signals.
 Optical Receiver: A device that has both optical and electronic
    components.  It detects optical signals and converts optical
    signals into electronic signals.
 Optical Transponder: A device that has both an optical transmitter
    and an optical receiver.
 Optical End Node: The end of a wavelength (optical lambdas) lightpath
    in the data plane.  It may be equipped with some
    optical/electronic devices such as wavelength
    multiplexers/demultiplexer (e.g., AWG), optical transponder, etc.,
    which are employed to transmit/terminate the optical signals for
    data transmission.
 FEC: Forward Error Correction.  FEC is a digital signal processing
    technique used to enhance data reliability.  It does this by
    introducing redundant data, called error correcting code, prior to
    data transmission or storage.  FEC provides the receiver with the
    ability to correct errors without a reverse channel to request the
    retransmission of data.
 3R Regeneration: The process of amplifying (correcting loss),
    reshaping (correcting noise and dispersion), retiming
    (synchronizing with the network clock), and retransmitting an
    optical signal.

2.1. Conventions Used in This Document

 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
 document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

3. Requirements for WSON Signaling

 The following requirements for GMPLS-based WSON signaling are in
 addition to the functionality already provided by existing GMPLS
 signaling mechanisms.

3.1. WSON Signal Characterization

 WSON signaling needs to convey sufficient information characterizing
 the signal to allow systems along the path to determine compatibility
 and perform any required local configuration.  Examples of such
 systems include intermediate nodes (ROADMs, OXCs, wavelength

Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015

 converters, regenerators, OEO switches, etc.), links (WDM systems),
 and end systems (detectors, demodulators, etc.).  The details of any
 local configuration processes are outside the scope of this document.
 From [RFC6163], we have the following list of WSON signal
 characteristics:
 1.  Optical tributary signal class (modulation format).
 2.  FEC: whether forward error correction is used in the digital
    stream and what type of error correcting code is used
 3.  Center frequency (wavelength)
 4.  Bit rate
 5.  G-PID: General Protocol Identifier for the information format
 The first three items on this list can change as a WSON signal
 traverses a network with regenerators, OEO switches, or wavelength
 converters.  These parameters are summarized in the Optical Interface
 Class as defined in [RFC7446], and the assumption is that a class
 always includes signal compatibility information.  An ability to
 control wavelength conversion already exists in GMPLS signaling along
 with the ability to share client signal type information (G-PID).  In
 addition, bit rate is a standard GMPLS signaling traffic parameter.
 It is referred to as bandwidth encoding in [RFC3471].

3.2. Per-Node Processing Configuration

 In addition to configuring a node along an LSP to input or output a
 signal with specific attributes, we may need to signal the node to
 perform specific processing, such as 3R regeneration, on the signal
 at a particular node.  [RFC6163] discussed three types of processing:
    (A) Regeneration (possibly different types)
    (B) Fault and Performance Monitoring
    (C) Attribute Conversion
 The extensions here provide for the configuration of these types of
 processing at nodes along an LSP.

3.3. Bidirectional WSON LSPs

 WSON signaling can support LSP setup consistent with the wavelength
 continuity constraint for bidirectional connections.  The following
 cases need to be supported separately:
 (a)  Where the same wavelength is used for both upstream and
      downstream directions

Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015

 (b)  Where different wavelengths are used for both upstream and
      downstream directions.
 This document will review existing GMPLS bidirectional solutions
 according to WSON case.

3.4. Distributed Wavelength Assignment Selection Method

 WSON signaling can support the selection of a specific distributed
 wavelength assignment method.
 This method is beneficial in cases of equipment failure, etc., where
 fast provisioning used in quick recovery is critical to protect
 carriers/users against system loss.  This requires efficient
 signaling that supports distributed wavelength assignment, in
 particular, when the wavelength assignment capability is not
 available.
 As discussed in [RFC6163], different computational approaches for
 wavelength assignment are available.  One method is the use of
 distributed wavelength assignment.  This feature would allow the
 specification of a particular approach when more than one is
 implemented in the systems along the path.

3.5. Optical Impairments

 This document does not address signaling information related to
 optical impairments.

4. WSON Signal Traffic Parameters, Attributes, and Processing

 As discussed in [RFC6163], single-channel optical signals used in
 WSONs are called "optical tributary signals" and come in a number of
 classes characterized by modulation format and bit rate.  Although
 WSONs are fairly transparent to the signals they carry, to ensure
 compatibility amongst various networks devices and end systems, it
 can be important to include key lightpath characteristics as traffic
 parameters in signaling [RFC6163].
 LSPs signaled through extensions provided in this document MUST apply
 the following signaling parameters:
    o  Switching Capability = WSON-LSC [RFC7688]
    o  Encoding Type = Lambda [RFC3471]
    o  Label Format = as defined in [RFC6205]
 [RFC6205] defines the label format as applicable to LSC capable
 devices.

Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015

4.1. Traffic Parameters for Optical Tributary Signals

 In [RFC3471] we see that the G-PID (client signal type) and bit rate
 (byte rate) of the signals are defined as parameters, and in
 [RFC3473] they are conveyed in the Generalized Label Request object
 and the RSVP SENDER_TSPEC/FLOWSPEC objects, respectively.

4.2. WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV

 Section 3.1 provides requirements to signal to a node along an LSP
 what type of processing to perform on an optical signal and how to
 configure itself to accept or transmit an optical signal with
 particular attributes.
 To target a specific node, this section defines a WSON Processing Hop
 Attribute TLV.  This TLV is encoded as an attributes TLV; see
 [RFC5420].  The TLV is carried in the ERO and RRO Hop Attributes
 subobjects and processed according to the procedures defined in
 [RFC7570].  The type value of the WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV
 is 4 as assigned by IANA.
 The WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV carries one or more sub-TLVs
 with the following format:
  0                   1                   2                   3
  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |     Type      |   Length      |                               |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+                               |
 //                            Value                            //
 |                               +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |           ...                 |        Padding                |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 Type
    The identifier of the sub-TLV.
 Length
    Indicates the total length of the sub-TLV in octets.  That is, the
    combined length of the Type, Length, and Value fields, i.e., two
    plus the length of the Value field in octets.
 Value
    Zero or more octets of data carried in the sub-TLV.

Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015

 Padding
    Variable
 The entire sub-TLV MUST be padded with zeros to ensure four-octet
 alignment of the sub-TLV.
 Sub-TLV ordering is significant and MUST be preserved.  Error
 processing follows [RFC7570].
 The following sub-TLV types are defined in this document:
 Sub-TLV Name        Type    Length
 --------------------------------------------------------------
 ResourceBlockInfo    1      variable
 WavelengthSelection  2      8 octets (2-octet padding)
 The TLV can be represented in Reduced Backus-Naur Form (RBNF)
 [RFC5511] syntax as:
 <WSON Processing Hop Attribute> ::= <ResourceBlockInfo>
 [<ResourceBlockInfo>] [<WavelengthSelection>]

4.2.1. ResourceBlockInfo Sub-TLV

 The format of the ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV value field is defined in
 Section 4 of [RFC7581].  It is a list of available Optical Interface
 Classes and processing capabilities.
 At least one ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV MUST be present in the WSON
 Processing Hop Attribute TLV.  No more than two ResourceBlockInfo
 sub-TLVs SHOULD be present.  Any present ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs
 MUST be processed in the order received, and extra (unprocessed) sub-
 TLVs SHOULD be ignored.
 The ResourceBlockInfo field contains several information elements as
 defined by [RFC7581].  The following rules apply to the sub-TLV:
 o  RB Set field can carry one or more RB Identifier.  Only the first
    RB Identifier listed in the RB Set field SHALL be processed; any
    others SHOULD be ignored.
 o  In the case of unidirectional LSPs, only one ResourceBlockInfo
    sub-TLV SHALL be processed, and the I and O bits can be safely
    ignored.

Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015

 o  In the case of a bidirectional LSP, there MUST be either:
    (a) only one ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV present in a WSON
        Processing Hop Attribute TLV, and the bits I and O both set to
        1, or
    (b) two ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs present, one with only the I
        bit set and the other with only the O bit set.
 o  The rest of the information carried within the ResourceBlockInfo
    sub-TLV includes the Optical Interface Class List, Input Bit Rate
    List, and Processing Capability List.  These lists MAY contain one
    or more elements.  These elements apply equally to both
    bidirectional and unidirectional LSPs.
 Any violation of these rules detected by a transit or egress node
 SHALL be treated as an error and be processed per [RFC7570].
 A ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV can be constructed by a node and added to
 an ERO Hop Attributes subobject in order to be processed by
 downstream nodes (transit and egress).  As defined in [RFC7570], the
 R bit reflects the LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTE and LSP_ATTRIBUTE semantic
 defined in [RFC5420], and it SHOULD be set accordingly.
 Once a node properly parses a ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLV received in
 an ERO Hop Attributes subobject (according to the rules stated above
 and in [RFC7570]), the node allocates the indicated resources, e.g.,
 the selected regeneration pool, for the LSP.  In addition, the node
 SHOULD report compliance by adding an RRO Hop Attributes subobject
 with the WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV (and its sub-TLVs)
 indicating the utilized resources.  ResourceBlockInfo sub-TLVs
 carried in an RRO Hop Attributes subobject are subject to [RFC7570]
 and standard RRO processing; see [RFC3209].

4.2.2. WavelengthSelection Sub-TLV

 Routing + Distributed Wavelength Assignment (R+DWA) is one of the
 options defined by [RFC6163].  The output from the routing function
 will be a path, but the wavelength will be selected on a hop-by-hop
 basis.
 As discussed in [RFC6163], the wavelength assignment can be either
 for a unidirectional lightpath or for a bidirectional lightpath
 constrained to use the same lambda in both directions.
 In order to indicate wavelength assignment directionality and
 wavelength assignment method, the WavelengthSelection sub-TLV is
 carried in the WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV defined above.

Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015

 The WavelengthSelection sub-TLV value field is defined as:
  0                   1                   2                   3
  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |W|  WA Method  |                    Reserved                   |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 Where:
 W (1 bit): 0 denotes requiring the same wavelength in both
    directions; 1 denotes that different wavelengths on both
    directions are allowed.
    Wavelength Assignment (WA) Method (7 bits):
    0: unspecified (any); This does not constrain the WA method used
        by a specific node.  This value is implied when the
        WavelengthSelection sub-TLV is absent.
    1: First-Fit.  All the wavelengths are numbered, and this WA
        method chooses the available wavelength with the lowest index.
    2: Random.  This WA method chooses an available wavelength
        randomly.
    3: Least-Loaded (multi-fiber).  This WA method selects the
        wavelength that has the largest residual capacity on the most
        loaded link along the route.  This method is used in multi-
        fiber networks.  If used in single-fiber networks, it is
        equivalent to the First-Fit WA method.
    4-127: Unassigned.
 The processing rules for this TLV are as follows:
 If a receiving node does not support the attribute(s), its behaviors
 are specified below:
  1. W bit not supported: a PathErr MUST be generated with the Error

Code "Routing Problem" (24) with error sub-code "Unsupported

    WavelengthSelection Symmetry value" (107).
  1. WA method not supported: a PathErr MUST be generated with the

Error Code "Routing Problem" (24) with error sub-code "Unsupported

    Wavelength Assignment value" (108).

Bernstein, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 7689 WSON Signaling Extensions November 2015

 A WavelengthSelection sub-TLV can be constructed by a node and added
 to an ERO Hop Attributes subobject in order to be processed by
 downstream nodes (transit and egress).  As defined in [RFC7570], the
 R bit reflects the LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTE and LSP_ATTRIBUTE semantic
 defined in [RFC5420], and it SHOULD be set accordingly.
 Once a node properly parses the WavelengthSelection sub-TLV received
 in an ERO Hop Attributes subobject, the node use the indicated
 wavelength assignment method (at that hop) for the LSP.  In addition,
 the node SHOULD report compliance by adding an RRO Hop Attributes
 subobject with the WSON Processing Hop Attribute TLV (and its sub-
 TLVs) that indicate the utilized method.  WavelengthSelection sub-
 TLVs carried in an RRO Hop Attributes subobject are subject to
 [RFC7570] and standard RRO processing; see [RFC3209].

5. Security Considerations

 This document is built on the mechanisms defined in [RFC3473], and
 only differs in the specific information communicated.  The specific
 additional information (optical resource and wavelength selection
 properties) is not viewed as substantively changing or adding to the
 security considerations of the existing GMPLS signaling protocol
 mechanisms.  See [RFC3473] for details of the supported security
 measures.  Additionally, [RFC5920] provides an overview of security
 vulnerabilities and protection mechanisms for the GMPLS control
 plane.

6. IANA Considerations

 IANA has assigned a new value in the existing "Attributes TLV Space"
 registry located at
 <http://www.iana.org/assignments/rsvp-te-parameters>, as updated by
 [RFC7570]:
 Type  Name        Allowed on  Allowed on   Allowed on   Reference
