Motivations
Complex process of provisioning of end-to-end transport
service
Heterogeneous transport networks
Automation of end-to-end provisioning
Ability to offer more service
Directly integrate IP clients over WDM
How?
“intelligence” into the control plane of OTN
automatic and seamless circuit provisioning
unified control binding technologies
Benefits?
cost reduction and better quality of network operation
simplified and rapid network configuration
switched services and dynamic bandwidth assignment
ASTN/ASON
ITU-T Recommendation G.805/G.8080
Architecture that defines the components and interactions
between components
Distributed control plane
Task of control planes
Call and connection control
Path control based on network state
Discovery for self configuration
ASTN/ASON (Continued…)
Protocols must support multi-layer, multi-vendor network
Layering
Administrative partitioning
Operational partitioning
Types of interfaces in the
control plane
GMPLS
Unified control plane for packet and circuit switching
technologies
Four interfaces.
Interface Switching Capability
No NNIs.
GMPLS (Continued…)
Extension of routing protocols
OSPF-TE and ISIS-TE
Signaling protocols, RSVP-TE and CR-LDP
Label Switched Paths (LSP)
Multi-layer Resource Model Representation
In GMPLS
Basic topology abstraction is TE link
Link interface can support one or more interface switching
types defined
Interface Switching Capability (ISC)
ISC descriptor describes related TE properties
A particular resource on a link is represented by a label
In GMPLS (Continued...)
Basic service abstraction is a LSP
Concept of hierarchical LSP
LSP in server region represented as TE link or
Forwarding adjacency in client region
Client LSP routed over a TE link == tunneled within a
server LSP
Multi-layer Resource Model Representation
In ASON
ISC concept has been reduced
Optical part of OTN hierarchy is mapped to LSC
Digital path layers of OTN and SDH hierarchy is mapped to
TDM
In ASON (Continued…)
In ASON (Continued…)
Transport
networks functional
model G.805
Client/server
association between
adjacent layers
Each layer
partitioned to reflect
internal structure
In ASON (Continued…)
Partitioning concepts
Starting from the smallest indivisible subnetwork
Contained and containing subnetwork
Contained subnetwork cannot provide connectivity not
available in containing subnetwork
Ports on boundary of containing subnetworks and
interconnection capability are represented by contained
subnetworks
In ASON (Continued…)
Partitioning concepts (contd…)
In ASON (Continued…)
Layering concepts
Label
LSR
LSP
Label allocation
Route selection

Control Plane Architecture
In GMPLS
Peer model
Overlay model
Augmented model
Control Plane Architecture
In ASON
Protocol neutral way
Support various transport infrastructure
Applicable irrespective of control plane that has been
subdivided into domains
In ASON (Continued…)
General model of policy
System is a collection of
components
System boundary
Nested system
boundaries
Policy port as filters
In ASON (Continued…)
General model of federation
Creation, deletion and maintenance of connections
across multiple domains
Community of domains
Domains cooperate for connection management
Joint Federation Model and Cooperative model
In ASON (Continued…)
Joint federation Model Cooperative Model
In ASON (Continued…)
Architectural components
Connection controller (CC) component
Routing controller (RC) component
Link resource manager component
Traffic policing (TP) component
Call controller component
Discovery agent (DA)
GMPLS Control Plane, Policy-based
