Abstract 
    
   This draft provides the guideline to consider generalized multi-
   protocol label switching (GMPLS) traffic-engineering (TE) attributes 
   for constraint-based shortest path first (CSPF) path computation at a 
   source node in a GMPLS network environment. This draft summarizes 
   most possible cases of GMPLS constraint TE attributes at an ingress 
   link, transit links and an egress link to establish a GMPLS label 
   switched path (LSP) appropriately.

1. Introduction 
    
   A GMPLS network is, in general, controlled and managed by various 
   GMPLS specific TE attributes underlying used physical/logical 
   technologies of links as well as nodes [Arch]. To establish a GMPLS 
   LSP appropriately in such a networking environment, these TE 
   attributes (advertised from others or belonging to themselves) must 
   be dealt correctly when CSPF path computation under a certain GMPLS 
   constraint is conducted [GMPLS-routing], and GMPLS LSP must be 
   created following a feasible route. However, since these constraints 
   vary and are differently understood among such an integrated 
   environment (especially between optical transport point of view and 
   packet transport point of view), this draft proposes and provides a 
   kind of guideline to facilitate GMPLS CSPF path computation, 
   summarizing most possible cases of GMPLS constraint attributes at an 
   ingress link, transit links and an egress link to establish a GMPLS 
   LSP appropriately.

3. Assumed network model 
    
   3.1 GMPLS TE attributes consideration for CSPF calculation 
    
   For CSPF path computation to establish GMPLS LSPs correctly, various 
   GMPLS attributes [GMPLS-routing, GMPLS-OSPF] of links as well as 
   nodes, as indicated below, must be taken into account in a GMPLS 
   network environment in addition to TE attributes of packet based 
   network [OSPF-TE]. 
    
        (1) Encoding-type: SONET/SDH, Lambda, Ethernet, etc. 
        (2) Switching capability: TDM, Lambda, Fiber, etc. 
        (3) Bandwidth: OC-192, OC-48, GbE, 10GbE, etc. 
    
   These logical attributes have a very tight relationship with 
   underlying physical technologies such as SONET/SDH, optical transport 
   network (OTN) or Ethernet in terms of links, and all-optical switches, 
   SONET/SDH-basis digital cross connect or electrical-basis optical 
   switches in terms of nodes.  Therefore, the GMPLS LSPs must satisfy 
   logical constrains as well as corresponding physical constraints. 
   These constraints are sometimes differently understood among 
   different layers, and a logically computed GMPLS LSP may violate the 
   physical constraints, therefore, a consistent guideline to solve this 
   issue should be formulated.

   3.2 Considered network model 
    
   Figure 1 depicts a typical GMPLS network, consisting of an ingress 
   link, a transit link as well as an egress link, to investigate a 
   consistent guideline for GMPLS CSPF path computation. Each link 
   outgoing or incoming at each interface has its own switching 
   capability, encoding-type and bandwidth. 
   The consideration here is based on a single domain GMPLS network, but 
   the analysis may be able to be applicable to an inter-domain GMPLS 
   network. 
    
             Ingress             Transit             Egress

                       Figure 1: GMPLS network model 
    
    
   For the simplicity of the analysis in CSPF consideration, the below 
   basic assumptions are made when the LSP is created. 
    
       (1) Switching capabilities (SC) of outgoing links from the 
           ingress and egress nodes (link1-2 and link4-3 in Figure 1)  
           must be consistent with each other. 
       (2) SC of all transit links including incoming links to the 
           ingress and egress nodes (link2-1 and link3-4) should be 
           consistent with switching type of a LSP to be created. 
       (3) Encoding-types of all transit links should be consistent 
           with encoding type of a LSP to be created. 
        
  GMPLS network is a multi-layer network, which is composed of multiple 
  nodes with different switching capability and encoding type 
  interfaces. Therefore, a hierarchical structure may be considered in 
  CSPF path computation. In such a case, the combination between the 
  switching type and encoding type of a desired LSP, and those of all 
  transit links described as the table in following section may be 
  acceptable. One of advertised multiple interface switching capability 
  descriptors for the same link [GMPLS-Routing] should be also 
  appropriately chosen as the attribute for the link. 
    
   Bandwidth of each TE link is maximum LSP bandwidth in interface 
   switching capability descriptor at the priority for a desired LSP 
   [GMPLS-OSPF], and encoding-types of incoming and outgoing links on 
   the same interface (for example, link1-2 and link2-1) should be 
   consistent with each other.

   In case that the network is comprised of numbered links and 
   unnumbered links [RFC3477], an ingress node, who is able to support 
   numbered links and unnumbered links may choose both links being part 
   of the same desired LSP. 
    
    
4. CSPF consideration 
 
   In this section, we consider GMPLS constraints to be satisfied in 
   different cases of link attributes. When a LSP indicated in below 
   tables is created, the CSPF path computation must choose the route so 
   as to satisfy switching capability, encoding-type and bandwidth at 
   the ingress link, transiting links and the egress link indicated in 
   columns next to the created LSP, considering underlying physical 
   constraints. Here, almost cases of GMPLS CSPF consideration are 
   summarized in this document, however, some cases will be added in a 
   future version.

   *SC in LSP means a desired switching type of LSP. 
   *OTN interfaces are equivalent to digital wrapper technology in this 
   draft. 
    
    
   In this case, since the interface with TDM SC supports sub-rate 
   switching, BW X can be equal to or less than bw of ingress, transit 
   and egress links, and must be larger than the minimum LSP bandwidth

   in the interface switching capability descriptor. A sub-rate 
   switching is unsuited for a hierarchical LSP, because the lower-layer 
   link usually has larger granular bandwidth than that layer except 
   PSC-x, for example a TDM LSP with the desired bandwidth of OC-12 
   should not use a lambda switching capable link with the bandwidth of 
   OC-48 as a transit link. In such a case, a lambda LSP as a forwarding 
   adjacency (FA) LSP is created on the lower (lambda) layer in advance, 
   then the FA-LSP [LSP-HIER] may be advertised as a TDM SC link.

   Since the interface with PSC supports only packet-by-packet switching, 
   BW X must be equal to or less than bw, and must be larger than the 
   minimum LSP bandwidth. 
    
   These GMPLS constraints must be considered for computing CSPF and 
   creating GMPLS LSPs.
