Vishal,I believe the initial routing requirements are captured in ITU doc. G.7715. However, I am not sure whether, unlike signaling, the ITU has begun work on the protocol-specific instantiations of routing requirements.
The conclusion drawn from some initial discussions on specific routing protocols was to step back for a moment and develop a so-called mid-level requirements recommendation for a link state routing protocol which still should be protocol neutral. This requirements recommendation will then be used for the assessment of existing link state routing protocols to be applied in ASON.Would you know where this work currently stands within the ITU? Has this intermediate or mid-level document been created? If so, how may one get access to it, and has it been liased to the IETF?
There is a Liaison from ITU-T to IETF that reports the status of the ASON routing work at http://www.ietf.org/IESG/LIAISON/ls15-39.htm. There is also a pointer to G.7715 at the bottom of the Liaison:
click the link at the bottom of the Liaison --> click "Common Control and Measurement Plane (ccamp) Working Group" -->
click "I accept" at the bottom of this page -->
click "ASON Routing Activities" -->
click "download" on the G.7715 line -->
brings up G.7715
please find some more information by checking these: http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2003/msg00330.html http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2003/ppt00001.ppt Dieter
