Abstract
This memo provides application-specific requirements for the Path
Computation Element communication Protocol (PCEP) for the support of
Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON). Lightpath provisioning
in WSONs requires a routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) process.
From a path computation perspective, wavelength assignment is the
process of determining which wavelength can be used on each hop of a
path and forms an additional routing constraint to optical light path
computation. Additionally, optical impairments may add further
constraints on the paths available for use.

1. Introduction
[RFC4655] defines the PCE based Architecture and explains how a Path
Computation Element (PCE) may compute Label Switched Paths (LSP) in
Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) and
Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks at the request of Path Computation
Clients (PCCs). A PCC is shown to be any network component that
makes such a request and may be for instance an Optical Switching
Element within a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) network. The
PCE, itself, can be located anywhere within the network, and may be
within an optical switching element, a Network Management System
(NMS) or Operational Support System (OSS), or may be an independent
network server.
The PCE communications Protocol (PCEP) is the communication protocol
used between PCC and PCE, and may also be used between cooperating
PCEs. [RFC4657] sets out the common protocol requirements for PCEP.
Additional application-specific requirements for PCEP are deferred to
separate documents.
This document provides a set of application-specific PCEP
requirements for support of path computation in Wavelength Switched
Optical Networks (WSON). WSON refers to WDM based optical networks
in which switching is performed selectively based on the wavelength
of an optical signal.
The path in WSON is referred to as a lightpath. A lightpath may span
multiple fiber links and the path should be assigned a wavelength for
each link. A transparent optical network is made up of optical
devices that can switch but not convert from one wavelength to
another. In a transparent optical network, a lightpath operates on
the same wavelength across all fiber links that it traverses. In such
case, the lightpath is said to satisfy the wavelength-continuity
constraint. Two lightpaths that share a common fiber link can not be
assigned the same wavelength. To do otherwise would result in both
Lee & Bernstein Expires September 2, 2009 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft PCEP Extension for WSON March 2009
signals interfering with each other. Note that advanced additional
multiplexing techniques such as polarization based multiplexing are
not addressed in this document since the physical layer aspects are
not currently standardized. Therefore, assigning the proper
wavelength on a lightpath is an essential requirement in the optical
path computation process.
When a switching node has the ability to perform wavelength
conversion the wavelength-continuity constraint can be relaxed, and a
lightpath may use different wavelengths on different links along its
route from origin to destination. It is, however, to be noted that
wavelength converters may be limited due to their relatively high
cost, while the number of WDM channels that can be supported in a
fiber is also limited. As a WSON can be composed of network nodes
that cannot perform wavelength conversion, nodes with limited
wavelength conversion, and nodes with full wavelength conversion
abilities, wavelength assignment is an additional routing constraint
to be considered in all lightpath computation.
One of the most basic questions in communications is whether one can
successfully transmit information from a transmitter to a receiver
within a prescribed error tolerance, usually specified as a maximum
permissible bit error ratio (BER). This generally depends on the
nature of the signal transmitted between the sender and receiver and
the nature of the communications channel between the sender and
receiver. The optical path utilized (along with the wavelength)
determines the communications channel.
The optical impairments incurred by the signal along the fiber and at
each optical network element along the path determine whether the BER
performance or any other measure of signal quality can be met for
this particular signal on this particular path. Given the existing
standards covering optical characteristics (impairments) and the
knowledge of how the impact of impairments may be estimated along a
path, [WSON-IMP] provides a framework for impairment aware path
computation and establishment utilizing GMPLS protocols and the PCE
architecture.
Some optical subnetworks are designed such that over any path the
degradation to an optical signal due to impairments never exceeds
prescribed bounds. This may be due to the limited geographic extent
of the network, the network topology, and/or the quality of the
fiber and devices employed. In such networks the path selection
problem reduces to determining a continuous wavelength from source
to destination (the Routing and Wavelength Assignment problem).
These networks are discussed in [WSON-Frame]. In other optical
Lee & Bernstein Expires September 2, 2009 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft PCEP Extension for WSON March 2009
networks, impairments are important and the path selection process
must be impairment-aware.
In this document we first review the processes for routing and
wavelength assignment (RWA) used when wavelength continuity
constraints are present. We then review the processes for optical
impairment aware RWA (IA-RWA). Based on selected process models we
then specify requirements for PCEP to support both RWA and IA-RWA.
The remainder of this document uses terminology from [RFC4655].
1.1. WSON RWA Processes (no impairments)
In [WSON-Frame] three alternative process architectures were given
for performing routing and wavelength assignment. These are shown
schematically in Figure 1.
+-------------------+
| +-------+ +--+ | +-------+ +--+ +-------+ +---+
| |Routing| |WA| | |Routing|--->|WA| |Routing|--->|DWA|

| Combined | Separate Processes Separate Processes
| Processes | WA performed in a
+-------------------+ Distributed manner
(a) (b) (c)
Figure 1 RWA process alternatives.
These alternatives have the following properties and impact on PCEP
requirements in this document.
1. Combined Processes (R&WA) - Here path selection and wavelength
assignment are performed as a single process. The requirements for
PCC-PCE interaction with such a combined RWA process PCE is
addressed in this document.
2. Routing separate from Wavelength Assignment (R+WA) - Here the
routing process furnishes one or more potential paths to the
wavelength assignment process that then performs final path
selection and wavelength assignment. The requirements for PCE-PCE
interaction with one PCE implementing the routing process and
another implementing the wavelength assignment process are not
addressed in this document.
Lee & Bernstein Expires September 2, 2009 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft PCEP Extension for WSON March 2009
3. Routing and distributed Wavelength Assignment (R+DWA) - Here a
standard path computation (unaware of detailed wavelength
availability) takes place, then wavelength assignment is performed
along this path in a distributed manner via signaling (RSVP-TE).
This alternative should be covered by existing or emerging GMPLS
PCEP extensions and does not present new WSON specific
requirements.
1.2. WSON IA-RWA Processes
In [WSON-IMP] impairments were addressed by adding an "impairment
validation" (IV) process. For approximate impairment validation three
process alternatives were given in [WSON-IMP] and shown in Figure 2.
+-----------------------------------+
| +--+ +-------+ +--+ |
| |IV| |Routing| |WA| |
| +--+ +-------+ +--+ |

architectural alternatives.
These alternatives have the following properties and impact on PCEP
requirements in this document.
Lee & Bernstein Expires September 2, 2009 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft PCEP Extension for WSON March 2009
1. Combined IV and RWA Process - Here the processes of impairment
validation, routing and wavelength assignment are aggregated into
a single PCE. The requirements for PCC-PCE interaction with such a
combined IV-RWA process PCE is addressed in this document.
2. IV-Candidates + RWA Process - As explained in [WSON-IMP]
separating the impairment validation process from the RWA process
maybe necessary to deal with impairment sharing constraints. In
this architecture one PCE computes impairment candidates and
another PCE uses this information while performing RWA. The
requirements for PCE-to-PCE interaction of this architecture will
be addressed in these requirements.
3. Routing + Distributed WA and IV - Here a standard path computation
(unaware of detailed wavelength availability or optical
impairments) takes place, then wavelength assignment and
impairment validation is performed along this path in a
distributed manner via signaling (RSVP-TE). This alternative
should be covered by existing or emerging GMPLS PCEP extensions
and does not present new WSON specific requirements.
2. WSON PCE Architectures and Requirements
In the previous section we reviewed various process architectures for
implementing RWA with and without regard for optical impairment. In
Figure 3 we reduce these alternatives to two PCE based
implementations. In Figure 3(a) we show the three processes of
routing, wavelength assignment and impairment validation accessed via
a single PCE. The implementation details of the interactions of the
processes are not subject to standardization in this case only the
PCC to PCE communications.
In Figure 3(b) the impairment validation process is implemented in a
separate PCE. Here the RWA-PCE acts as a coordinator and the PCC to
RWA-PCE interface will be the same as in Figure 3(a), however in this
case we have additional requirements for the RWA-PCE to IV-PCE
interface.

Figure 3 PCE architectures for RWA.
2.1. RWA PCC to PCE Interface
The PCC to PCE interface of Figure 3(a) and the PCC to PCD-PCE
(coordinator) interface of Figure 3(b) are the same and we will cover
both in this section. The following requirements for these interfaces
are arranged by use cases:
2.1.1. A new RWA path request
1. The PCReq Message MUST include the path computation type. This can
be: RWA, or only routing. This requirement is needed to
differentiate between the currently supported routing with
distribute wavelength assignment option and combined RWA.
2. The PCReq Message MAY include the BER limit to which all feasible
paths should conform. Note that BER limits may be set at a network
level and hence this parameter may be optional. If no default BER
limit is provisioned at the PCE then the PCE will return an error
specifying that a BER limit must be provided.
3. The PCRep Message MUST include the route, wavelengths assigned to
the route and an indicator that says if the path has passed an
optical quality check. In the case where a valid path is not
found, the PCRep Message MUST include why the path is not found
(e.g., no route, wavelength not found, BER failure, etc.)
Lee & Bernstein Expires September 2, 2009 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft PCEP Extension for WSON March 2009
2.1.2. An RWA path re-optimization request
1. For a re-optimization request, the PCReq Message MUST provide the
path to be re-optimized and include the following options:
a. Re-optimize the path keeping the same wavelength(s)
b. Re-optimize wavelength(s) keeping the same path
c. Re-optimize allowing both wavelength and the path to change
2. The corresponding PCRep Message for the re-optimized request MUST
provide the Re-optimized path and wavelengths. In case that the
path is not found, the PCRep Message MUST include why the path is
not found (e.g., no route, wavelength not found, both route and
wavelength not found, etc.)
3. If a BER limit was required in the original path request then a
BER limit MUST be furnished in the re-optimization request.
Otherwise, furnishing a BER limit is optional.
2.1.3. A combined primary and backup RWA request
For a primary and backup RWA path request, the PCReq Message MUST
include the wavelength usage options:
a. The same wavelength is required for the primary and backup
path
b. Different wavelengths for primary and backup paths are
permitted.
2.1.4. Wavelength Range Constraint
For any PCReq Message that is associated with a request for
wavelength assignment the requester (PCC) MUST be able to specify a
restriction on the wavelengths to be used.
Note that the requestor (PCC) is NOT required to furnish any range
restrictions. This restriction is to be interpreted by the PCE as a
constraint on the tuning ability of the origination laser
transmitter.

2.2. RWA-PCE to IV-PCE Interface
In [WSON-IMP] a sequence diagram for the interaction of the PCC, RWA-
PCE and IV-PCE of Figure 3(b) was given and is repeated here in
Figure 4. The interface between the PCC and the RWA-PCE (acting as
the coordinator) was covered in section 2.1.
+---+ +-------------+ +-----------------+

Figure 4 Sequence diagram for the interactions between PCC, RWA-
Coordinating-PCE and the IV-Candidates-PCE.
The interface between the RWA-Coord-PCE and the IV-Candidates-PCE is
specified by the following requirements:
1. The PCReq Message from the RWA-Coord-PCE to the IV-PCE MUST
include an indicator that more than one (candidate) path between
source and destination is desired.
2. The PCReq message from the RWA-Coord-PCE to the IV-Candidates-PCE
MUST include a limit on the number of optical impairment qualified
paths to be returned by the IV-PCE.
3. The PCReq message from the RWA-Coord-PCE to the IV-Candidates-PCE
MAY include wavelength constraints. Note that optical impairments
are wavelength sensitive and hence specifying a wavelength
constraint may help limit the search for valid paths.
Lee & Bernstein Expires September 2, 2009 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft PCEP Extension for WSON March 2009
4. The PCRep Message from the IV-Candidates-PCE to RWA-Coord-PCE MUST
include a set of optical impairment qualified paths along with any
wavelength constraints on those paths.
5. The PCRep Message from the IV-Candidates-PCE to RWA-Coord-PCE MUST
indicate "no path found" in case where a valid path is not found.
Note that once the Combined RWA Process PCE receives the resulting
paths from the IV Candidates PCE, then the Combined RWA PCE computes
RWA for the IV qualified candidate paths and sends the result back to
the PCC.
3. Manageability Considerations
Manageability of WSON Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) with
PCE must address the following considerations:
3.1. Control of Function and Policy
In addition to the parameters already listed in Section 8.1 of
[PCEP], a PCEP implementation SHOULD allow configuring the following
PCEP session parameters on a PCC:
o The ability to send a WSON RWA request.
In addition to the parameters already listed in Section 8.1 of
[PCEP], a PCEP implementation SHOULD allow configuring the following
PCEP session parameters on a PCE:
o The support for WSON RWA.
o The maximum number of synchronized path requests associated with
WSON RWA per request message.
o A set of WSON RWA specific policies (authorized sender, request
rate limiter, etc).
These parameters may be configured as default parameters for any PCEP
session the PCEP speaker participates in, or may apply to a specific
session with a given PCEP peer or a specific group of sessions with a
specific group of PCEP peers.

Internet-Draft PCEP Extension for WSON March 2009
3.2. Information and Data Models, e.g. MIB module
Extensions to the PCEP MIB module defined in [PCEP-MIB] should be
defined, so as to cover the WSON RWA information introduced in this
document. A future revision of this document will list the
information that should be added to the MIB module.
3.3. Liveness Detection and Monitoring
Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new liveness
detection and monitoring requirements in addition to those already
listed in section 8.3 of [PCEP].
3.4. Verifying Correct Operation
Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new verification
requirements in addition to those already listed in section 8.4 of
[PCEP]
3.5. Requirements on Other Protocols and Functional Components
The PCE Discovery mechanisms ([RFC5089] and [RFC5088]) may be used to
advertise WSON RWA path computation capabilities to PCCs.
3.6. Impact on Network Operation
Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new network
operation requirements in addition to those already listed in section
8.6 of [PCEP].
4. Security Considerations
This document has no requirement for a change to the security models
within PCEP [PCEP]. However the additional information distributed in
order to address the RWA problem represents a disclosure of network
capabilities that an operator may wish to keep private. Consideration
should be given to securing this information.
