WSON/非WSON混在ネットワークにおけるGMPLSオペレーション

摘要

GMPLS protocol enabled network operator to setup optical path network rapidly and dynamically. Recently, WSON is standardized to achieve WDM core network. However, it is difficult that all network equipment supports WSON protocol. Therefore, interoperability between WSON and non-WSON nodes is needed to construct path network. This document describes requirement for interoperability between WSON node and non-WSON nodes and functions that routing and signaling protocol should support.
