Abstract
Technology in the optical domain is constantly evolving and as a
consequence new equipment providing lambda switching capability
has been developed and is currently being deployed.
Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) is a family of protocols that can be
used to operate networks built from a range of technologies
including wavelength (or lambda) switching. For this purpose,
GMPLS defined that a wavelength label only has significance
between two neighbors and global wavelength semantics are not
considered.
In order to facilitate interoperability in a network composed of
next generation lambda switch-capable equipment, this document
defines a standard lambda label format that is compliant with
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing and Coarse Wavelength
Division Multiplexing grids defined by the International
Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector.
The label format defined in this document can be used in GMPLS
signaling and routing protocols.

1. Introduction
As described in [RFC3945], Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) extends MPLS
from supporting only packet (Packet Switching Capable - PSC)
interfaces and switching to also include support for four new
classes of interfaces and switching:
o Layer-2 Switch Capable (L2SC)
o Time-Division Multiplex (TDM)
o Lambda Switch Capable (LSC)
o Fiber-Switch Capable (FSC).
A functional description of the extensions to MPLS signaling
needed to support new classes of interfaces and switching is
provided in [RFC3471].
This document presents details that are specific to the use of
GMPLS with Lambda Switch Capable (LSC) equipment. Technologies
such as Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplex (ROADM) and
Wavelength Cross-Connect (WXC) operate at the wavelength
switching level. [RFC3471] has defined that a wavelength label
(section 3.2.1.1) "only has significance between two neighbors"
and global wavelength semantics is not considered. In order to
facilitate interoperability in a network composed of lambda
switch-capable equipment, this document defines a standard lambda
label format, which is compliant with both [G.694.1](Dense
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)-grid) or [G.694.2](Coarse
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM)-grid).
2. Assumed Network Model and Related Problem Statement
Figure 1 depicts an all-optically switched network consisting of
different vendors' optical network domains. Vendor A's network
consists of ROADM or WXC, and vendor B's network consists of a
number of photonic cross-connect (PXC) and DWDM multiplexer &
demultiplexer, otherwise both vendors' networks might be based on
the same technology.
In this case, the use of standardized wavelength label
information is quite significant to establish a wavelength-based
LSP. It is also an important constraint when conducting CSPF
calculation for use by Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
(GMPLS) RSVP-TE signaling, [RFC3473]. The way the Constrained

Shortest Path First (CSPF) is performed is outside the scope of
this document.
It is needless to say, an LSP must be appropriately provisioned
between a selected pair of ports not only within Domain A but
also over multiple domains satisfying wavelength constraints.
Figure 2 illustrates in detail the interconnection between Domain
A and Domain B.

Figure 2 Interconnecting details between two domains
In the scenario of Figure 1, consider the setting up of a
bidirectional LSP from ingress switch 1 to egress switch 9 using
GMPLS RSVP-TE. In order to satisfy wavelength continuity
constraint, a fixed wavelength (lambda 1) needs to be used in
domain A and domain B. A Path message will be used for signaling.
The Path message will contain the Upstream_Label object and a
Label_Set object; both containing the same value. The Label_set
object shall contain a single sub-channel that must be the same
as the Upstream_Label object. The Path setup will continue
downstream to switch 9 by configuring each lambda switch based on
the wavelength label. If a node has a tunable wavelength
transponder, the tuning wavelength is considered as a part of
wavelength switching operation.
Not using a standardized label would add undue burden on the
operator to enforce policy as each manufacturer may decide on a
different representation and therefore each domain may have its
own label formats. Moreover, manual provisioning may lead to
misconfiguration if domain-specific labels are used.
T. Otani et al. Expires July 2011 [Page 5]
draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-g-694-lambda-labels-11.txt January 2011
Therefore, a wavelength label should be standardized in order to
allow interoperability between multiple domains; otherwise
appropriate existing labels are identified in support of
wavelength availability. As identical wavelength information, the
ITU-T frequency grid specified in [G.694.1] for DWDM and
wavelength information in [G.694.2] for CWDM are used by Label
Switching Routers (LSRs) and should be followed as a wavelength
label.
3. Label Related Formats
To deal with the widening scope of MPLS into the optical and time
domains, several new forms of "label" have been defined in
[RFC3471]. This section contains a definition of a Wavelength
label based on [G.694.1] or [G.694.2] for use by LSC LSRs.
3.1. Wavelength Labels
In section 3.2.1.1 of [RFC3471], a Wavelength label is defined to
have significance between two neighbors, and the receiver may
need to convert the received value into a value that has local
significance.
We do not need to define a new type as the information stored is
either a port label or a wavelength label. Only the wavelength
label as below needs to be defined.
LSC equipment uses multiple wavelengths controlled by a single
control channel. In a case, the label indicates the wavelength to
be used for the LSP. This document defines a standardized
wavelength label format. As an example of wavelength values, the
reader is referred to [G.694.1] which lists the frequencies from
the ITU-T DWDM frequency grid. The same can be done for CWDM
technology by using the wavelength defined in [G.694.2].
Since the ITU-T DWDM grid is based on nominal central frequencies,
we need to indicate the appropriate table, the channel spacing in
the grid and a value n that allows the calculation of the
frequency. That value can be positive or negative.
The frequency is calculated as such in [G.694.1]:
Frequency (THz) = 193.1 THz + n * channel spacing (THz)
Where "n" is a two's-complement integer (positive, negative or 0)
and "channel spacing" is defined to be 0.0125, 0.025, 0.05 or 0.1
T. Otani et al. Expires July 2011 [Page 6]
draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-g-694-lambda-labels-11.txt January 2011
THz. When wider channel spacing such as 0.2 THz is utilized, the
combination of narrower channel spacing and the value "n" can
provide proper frequency with that channel spacing. Channel
spacing is not utilized to indicate the LSR capability but only
to specify a frequency in signaling.
For the other example of the case of the ITU-T CWDM grid, the
spacing between different channels was defined to be 20nm, so we
need to pass the wavelength value in nanometers(nm) in this case.
Examples of CWDM wavelengths are 1471, 1491, etc. nm.
The wavelength is calculated as follows
Wavelength (nm) = 1471 nm + n * 20 nm
Where "n" is a two's-complement integer (positive, negative or 0).
The grids listed in [G.694.1] and [G.694.2] are not numbered and
change with the changing frequency spacing as technology advances,
so an index is not appropriate in this case.
3.2. DWDM Wavelength Label
For the case of lambda switching (LSC) of DWDM, the information
carried in a Wavelength label is:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|Grid | C.S | Identifier | n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
(1) Grid: 3 bits
The value for grid is set to 1 for ITU-T DWDM Grid as defined in
[G.694.1].

|Future use| 5 - 15 |
+----------+---------+
(3) Identifier: 9 bits
The identifier field in lambda label format is used to
distinguish different lasers (in one node) when they can transmit
the same frequency lambda. The identifier field is a per-node
assigned and scoped value. This field MAY change on a per-hop
basis. In all cases but one, a node MAY select any value,
including zero (0), for this field. Once selected, the value MUST
NOT change until the LSP is torn down and the value MUST be used
in all LSP related messages, e.g., in Resv messages and label RRO
subobjects. The sole special case occurs when this label format
is used in a label ERO subobject. In this case, the special value
T. Otani et al. Expires July 2011 [Page 8]
draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-g-694-lambda-labels-11.txt January 2011
of zero (0) means that the referenced node MAY assign any
Identifier field value, including zero (0), when establishing the
corresponding LSP. When non-zero value is assigned to the
identifier field in a label ERO subobject, the referenced node
MUST use the assigned value for the identifier field in the
corresponding LSP related messages.
(4) n: 16 bits
n is a two's-complement integer to take either a negative, zero
or a positive value. The value used to compute the frequency as
shown above.
3.3. CWDM Wavelength Label
For the case of lambda switching (LSC) of CWDM, the information
carried in a Wavelength label is:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|Grid | C.S | Identifier | n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
The structure of the label in the case of CWDM is the same as
that of DWDM case.

The value for grid is set to 2 for ITU-T CWDM Grid as defined in
[G.694.2].

9. Appendix A. DWDM Example
Considering the network displayed in figure 1 it is possible to
show an example of LSP set up using the lambda labels.
Node 1 receives the request for establishing an LSP from itself
to Node 9. The ITU-T grid to be used is the DWDM one, the channel
spacing is 50Ghz and the wavelength to be used is 193,35 THz.
Node 1 signals the LSP via a Path message including a Wavelength
Label structured as defined in section 3.2:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|Grid | C.S | Identifier | n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
Grid = 1 : ITU-T DWDM grid
C.S. = 2 : 50 GHz channel spacing
n = 5 :
Frequency (THz) = 193.1 THz + n * channel spacing (THz)
193.35 (THz) = 193.1 (THz) + n* 0.05 (THz)
n = (193.35-193.1)/0.05 = 5
10. Appendix B. CWDM Example
The network displayed in figure 1 can be used also to display an
example of signaling using the Wavelength Label in a CWDM
environment.
This time the signaling of an LSP from Node 4 to Node 7 is
considered. Such LSP exploits the CWDM ITU-T grid with a 20nm
channel spacing and is to established using wavelength equal to
1331 nm.
