GMPLS Extensions to support Multi-Granularity Optical Cross-Connect with Heterogeneous Optical Interfaces
This document defines information needed when GMPLS signaling is used on the multi-granularity of optical cross-connect (MG-OXC) over Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks because existing documents deal only with singular wavelength OXC. The basic optical label handlings (including add, drop, swap, merge, and stack) are required for using the MG-OXC in GMPLS networks. Also the protocol related to signaling is extended for supporting the MG-OXC.
