IP over WDM - Motivations



IP traffic volumes
 Traffic volumes on the Internet double every six months
 Aggregate bandwidth required by the Internet in the US by the year
2005 is expected to be in excess of 35 Terabytes/sec
New high-capacity networks
 To meet this anticipated need, carriers in the US are in the process
of deploying high-capacity networks (OC-48~2.5 Gbps, and soon
OC-192 ~10Gbps) for the sole purpose of delivering Internet data
 Some new carriers are building networks customized for IP traffic
(most existing “transport” networks were built primarily for voice
traffic)
IP-centric and IP multi-service networks: Voice over IP, Video over IP,

IP over WDM - Motivations






WDM reduces costly mux/demux function, reuses existing optical
fibers.
 Alternative to new fiber installation
 Consolidation of legacy systems
 Maximizes capacity of leased fibers
 Future-proofing of new fiber routes
WDM allows high flexibility in expanding bandwidth
Cost Reduction - integrating optics and eliminating mux stages
Operation Efficiency - elimination of redundant protocol layers
Transport Efficiency - elimination of transport protocol overhead
Emergent technology is evolving WDM from optical transport (point-topoint line systems) to true optical networking (add-drop multiplexers
and cross-connects)

• All three protocol stacks can be used in conjunction with SONET/SDH
multiplexing
• Even without SONET/SDH multiplexing (for example R3 to R6
communication), since IP routers have SONET/SDH interfaces, IP over
WDM could involve a SONET/SDH layer

Virtual Topology

What are the benefits/costs (in terms of network performance and
management complexity) of performing traffic/QoS management and
survivability at the WDM optical layer instead of at the IP layer?
Is there a hybrid or cooperative approach that is more optimal given a set of
realistic performance and complexity constraints?

What is particular about this (IP/WDM) 2-layer
routing problem?


Limit on the number of optical amplifiers a lightpath can traverse before
requiring electronic regeneration
 All wavelengths amplified equally at an optical amplifier
Without wavelength changers at OXCs (Optical Cross-Connects), wavelength
assignments to lightpaths need to ensure availability of selected wavelength on
all fibers on the lighpath

Solution strategies



Integrated routing at the IP and WDM layers
 Interaction between existing routing schemes at
the IP layer and this new integrated solution
“Greedy” distributed solution
 Monitor lightpath utilization and change
allocations of lightpaths between pairs or
routers accordingly
Centralized system-wide optimal solution

Generic integrated approach (not specific to IP)

Solve four sub-problems:





Sub-problems 1 and 4 are equivalent to a data network design/optimal
routing problem



1. Determine virtual topology to meet all-pairs (source-destination) traffic
2. Route lightpaths on the physical topology
3. Assign wavelengths
4. Route packet traffic on the virtual topology
Capacity assignments between routers are determined for a given traffic
matrix
Flows are determined along with capacity assignments
Metrics optimized:


Minimize costs
Subject to an average packet delay constraint
 use M/M/1 queues and independence assumption to determine delay


Link state based routing protocols, e.g., Open Shortest Path First
(OSPF)
 Currently OSPF Link State Advertisements (LSAs) mainly
include operator-assigned link weights
 Shortest-path algorithms used to determine routing table
entries based on these link weights (Dijkstra’s, Bellman-Ford)
 Example: Shortest path from R3 to R7 is via R4 and R5

QoS extensions to OSPF



Flow-based IP traffic
 Have LSAs include “available bandwidth”
 Each flow has a required bandwidth; delete all links in graph that do
not have requisite available bandwidth
 Then apply shortest-path algorithm using link weights
Connectionless traffic
 Modified Bellman-Ford to determine shortest-paths using link
weights
 If there are multiple paths with the same minimal weight, then the
path with the maximum available bandwidth is chosen



Self-routing
Optimal routing
(system-level
optimization)
Optimal schemes base routing decisions on all-pairs sourcedestination traffic e.g., the integrated four sub-problem solution
Shortest-path schemes make routing decisions for per-nodepair traffic
e.g., OSPF

Interaction between OSPF and integrated
solution
No conflict:
 The integrated solution changes “maximum” capacities between
routers
 OSPF (with QoS extensions) uses this information along with
“available” capacities to make routing decisions

Potential conflict:
 Should the integrated solution change the forwarding table entries
based on flows computed as part of the capacity assignment
problem?
 If so, both OSPF and integrated solution are changing forwarding
table entries

Other issues:
 OSPF LSAs need to exchange maximum bandwidths
 Can instabilities result in forwarding data if both OSPF and
integrated IP/WDM routing software make changes?

Virtual Topology
Physical Topology
WDM network routing does not change the virtual topology

It measures utilization on each lightpath (between pairs of routers)
 If under-utilized, decrease number of lightpaths or data rates used on
lightpaths
 If over-utilized, increase number of lightpaths or data rates used on
lightpaths

Using wavelength availability and optical amplifier related constraints, find
shortest path for lightpath and establish crossconnections (“greedy” user-level17


In greedy distributed solution, there may be instances when a lightpath
could have been accommodated if routes or wavelength assignments
of existing lightpaths had been adjusted
All-pairs traffic demand is given; find optimal routes and wavelength
assignments of lightpaths (also called the RWA problem)
May 17

Extensions


Consider multiple QoS metrics while finding optimal solutions
 For example, in integrated solution, consider packet loss ratio,
packet delay variation, improved packet delay formulations
(assuming MMPP traffic)
Extend solutions to allow for multiple service classes
 Differentiated services in IP networks

Simple schemes for packet tagging, classification and per-hop
behavior
Integration of IP service classification with routing and wavelength
assignment
Allow for network and service survivability
 Use full capacity or have spare capacity
 Use protection fibers for increased throughput, but when fault
occurs, throttle back best-effort traffic and accommodate all higherpriority traffic

shortest-path routing
 Greedy distributed solution - monitors traffic offered to WDM
network and determines shortest-paths meeting certain constraints
(user-level optimal)
 Centralized system-wide optimal solution - adjusts existing
lightpaths if needed to accommodate newly requested lightpath
