Framework for GMPLS and Path Computation Element Control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks
RFC 6163, “Framework for GMPLS and Path Computation Element Control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks”, is an Informational document published in April 2011 by Y. Lee, G. Bernstein, W. Imajuku. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides a framework for applying Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) and the Path Computation Element (PCE) architecture to the control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs). In particular, it examines Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) of optical paths.
This document focuses on topological elements and path selection constraints that are common across different WSON environments; as such, it does not address optical impairments in any depth. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
