Operating Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) and the Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) with Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This document describes requirements for, and the use of, the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control plane in support of the Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) layer 1 inverse multiplexing data plane mechanism and its companion Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS). LCAS can be used for hitless dynamic resizing of the inverse multiplex group. These techniques apply to Optical Transport Network (OTN), Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), and Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) signals. This document updates RFC 4606 by making modifications to the procedures for supporting virtual concatenation.

Dynamic bandwidth adaptation in NG SDH/WDM transport networks using LCAS
Traffic patterns of data services are known to be highly dynamic and have been characterized as self-similar caused by long-range dependent transfer times and file size distributions [8]. This burstiness appears on various time scales and makes link and network dimensioning more difficult compared to classical voice traffic. In this paper, we adopt dynamic bandwidth adaptation to transport netw...
متن کاملBandwidth Modification and impact on GMPLS UNI Signalling
This document analyzes whether the Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) will affect the TDM level GMPLS signalling at the UNI (as specified in UNI 1.0). LCAS defines a method to modify the bandwidth of an existing LSP. If LCAS is used for this purpose, the impact on GMPLS is not negligible. Alternatively, mechanisms similar to LCAS could be implemented into GMPLS, but there would be impact on...
متن کاملReliable Multi-Path Provisioning for High-Capacity Backbone Mesh Network
We investigate reliable multi-path provisioning of traffic in high-capacity backbone mesh networks, e.g., nextgeneration SONET/SDH networks supporting virtual concatenation (VCAT). VCAT enables a connection to be inversely multiplexed on to multiple paths, a feature that may lead to significantly improved performance over conventional single-path provisioning. Other mesh networks such as those ...
متن کاملScalable multi-layer GMPLS networks based on hierarchical cloud-routers
This paper proposes the hierarchical cloud-router network (HCRN) to solve the problem of overcoming the scalability limit in a multi-layer generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) network. We define a group of nodes as a virtual node, called cloud-router (CR). A CR consists of some number of nodes or lower-level CRs. A CR is modeled as a multiple switching capability (SC) node when it...
متن کاملMulticast OLSP Establishment Scheme in OVPN over IP/GMPLS over DWDM
OVPN (Optical Virtual Private Network) over IP (Internet Protocol)/GMPLS (Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching) over DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology with QoS assurances is considered as a promising approach for the next generation OVPN. In this paper, we suggest a multicast OLSP (Optical Label Switched Path) establishment mechanism for supporting high bandwidth mu...
