draft-douville-ccamp-gmpls-waveband-extensions-05.txt

all,

as mentioned in the additional ccamp webpage, this draft plugs a hole however interest shown on this list is certainly low

but so at the end of the day one may ask if this is the case

1) how implementations that have been reported in
<http://www.ietf.org/IESG/Implementations/MPLS-SIGNALING-Implementation.txt>

9 supports waveband labels so do we have to make the assumption that all of them
support only inverse multiplexing mechanism and/or wavelength concatenation ?

2) then what about Fiber SC ?

this leaves the impression that the FSC value has been sometimes used when switching the whole content of the container (ie the fiber) while following a strict interpretation it is meant to only address spatial switching per GMPLS ARCH:

"5. Fiber-Switch Capable (FSC) interfaces:

   Interfaces that switch data based on a position of the data in the
   (real world) physical spaces. An example of such an interface is
   that of a PXC or OXC that can operate at the level of a single or
   multiple fibers."

thanks,

	Title		: Extensions to Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
			  in support of Waveband Switching
	Author(s)	: R. Douville, et al.

Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) extends the MPLS
   control plane to encompass layer 2, time-division, wavelength and
   spatial switching. Along with the current development on IP over
   optical switching, considerable advances in optical transport
   systems based on the multiple optical switching granularities have
   been developed.

   Currently, GMPLS considers two layers of optical granularity using
   wavelengths and fibers. By introducing an extended definition of
   waveband switching, this document specifies the corresponding GMPLS
   extensions, to further integrate optical multi-granularity and
   benefit from the features of the corresponding switching layers.
