
Dynamic and Distributed LSP Explicit TE-Route Computation
(today: simulation, manual planning and human action)
Dynamic and Distributed intra and inter-domain LSP Setup/
Deletion/ Modification (today: manual and step-by-step
provisioning - doesn’t provide “bandwidth on demand”
capability)
Network resource optimization when using a peer
interconnection model with multi-layer traffic-engineering and
protection/restoration (today: provisioned model implies at least
waste of 40% - 60% network resources)
Per-LSP (per-LSP Group) Fast Restoration in 200ms to < 1s
(today: centralized computation based on restricted scenarios
implying restoration time > 5s) and Signalled Protection in <
50ms (as specified in ITU-T G.841)

GMPLS Key Drivers (cont’d)


Simplified Network control and management (today: each
transport layer has its own control and management plane
implying waste of 60% - 80% carrier resources)
Removes strong limitations of today proprietary protocols:
b/w network nodes (EMS/control plane) and Centralized NM
System
b/w Centralized NM Systems (implying additional proprietary
developments)
Conclusion: GMPLS can provide “carrier class” response to new
generation transmission networks challenges

DNAC - November 2001
Generalized MPLS Paradigm

GMPLS is based on several premises:

maintaining 1:1 relationship control plane technology and
instance with transport plane layer(s) is counter-productive
• “integrated IP/MPLS-Optical control plane” concept

maintaining N transport plane layer(s) is counter-productive
• only IP/MPLS packet technologies will remain in long-run
• ATM layer pushed toward ACCESS networks
• SDH/Sonet layer used as framing for p2p links (just as Layer-2
IP-over-PPP)

re-use MPLS-TE as “non-packet” LSP control plane
• “lightpath” defines switched path (label space values:
wavelengths)
• generalize Address Prefix to “non-packet” terminating interfaces
• generalize TE concept to “non-packet” resources
Papadimitriou D. - Alcatel IPO NA (NSG)
DNAC - November 2001
Let’s Be Cautious !



GMPLS  “optical” and “optical”  GMPLS
GMPLS  “protocol” but “protocol suite” … a “philosophy” ?
GMPLS (as protocol suite)
tends to “ubiquity” by including MPLS (subset of GMPLS)
applies to ANY control plane interconnection (peer/overlay) and
service model (domain/unified)
covers “standard” mainly ITU-T/T1X1 transmission layers



• issue: who drives ? Transmission or Control plane ?

GMPLS (as distributed control plane concept)
collaboration with NMS (during transition phase) in particular
for first all-optical deployments
next steps NMS limited to SNMP/Policy/VPN and LDAP
Services
and after … ???


Drawbacks and Challenges




“Full applicability” with multi-service devices in “integrated
networks”
Pushing “routing protocols” to some limits … requiring LS IGP
enhancements, LMP, etc.
Future GMPLS developments could suffer from a lack of
“scientific” coverage
IETF Sub-IP Area WG Positioning




IPO WG plays “driving role” … from (all-)optical viewpoint
CCAMP WG plays “driving role” … from control and
(monitoring) measurement protocols
PPVPN WG can be considered here as “service enabler”
Many collaborations with other WG (MPLS, OSPF, ISIS, etc.)
and other bodies: ITU-T/T1X1, IEEE, etc.




If label k[i]=1 (i = 1, 2 or 3) and labels k[j]=0 (j = 1, 2 and 3with j=/=i),

corresponding OTU[i] (mapping of an ODUk into an OTUk)
Numbering starts at 1 and Label Field = 0 invalid
Examples:

k3=0, k2=0, k1=1 indicates an ODU1 mapped into an OTU1

k3=0, k2=1, k1=0 indicates an ODU2 mapped into an OTU2

k3=1, k2=0, k1=0 indicates an ODU3 mapped into an OTU3

GMPLS TE-Routing Extensions

Key Differences with MPLS-TE




Label space(s) including timeslot, wavelength, or physical
space while label stacking is NOT supported
Same type of Ingress and Egress LSR interface per LSP
Control Sonet/SDH, G.709 OTN, Lambda LSP while
payload can include G.707 SDH/Sonet, G.709 OTN,
Lambda, Ethernet, etc.
Bandwidth allocation in discrete units (TDM, LSC and FSC
interfaces)

Downstream on demand ordered control (label distribution)

Bi-directional LSP setup (using Upstream Label)

Reduced bi-directional LSP setup latency (using Suggested
Label)
Papadimitriou D. - Alcatel IPO NA (NSG)
DNAC - November 2001
Key Differences with MPLS-TE (cont’d)

Label Set to restrict the label choice by downstream node
(photonic networks w/o wavelength conversion)

Forwarding Adjacencies in addition to Routing Adjacencies

Fast failure notification/location (for LSP restoration)

Provides enhanced recovery mechanisms (control-plane) in
case of signalling channel and/or node failure and “graceful
restart”
Papadimitriou D. - Alcatel IPO NA (NSG)
DNAC - November 2001
What about MPLambdaS ?

Each OXC includes the equivalent of MPLS-capable LabelSwitching Router (LSR)


Lambda LSP (or Lightpaths) are considered similar to MPLS
Label-Switched Paths (LSPs)



MPLS control plane is implemented in each OXC
Selection of wavelengths (or lambdas) and OXC ports are considered
similar to selection of labels
MPLS signaling protocols (such as RSVP-TE, CR-LDP) adapted
for Lambda LSP setup/delete/etc.
IGPs (such as OSPF, ISIS) with “optical” traffic-engineering
extensions used for topology/resource discovery using IP address
space (no “reachability extensions”)
