Abstract

This document provides Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching(GMPLS) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing enhancements tosupport signal compatibility constraints associated with Wavelength SwitchedOptical Network (WSON) elements. These routing enhancementsare applicable in common optical or hybrid electro-optical networkswhere not all the optical signals in the network are compatiblewith all network elements participating in the network.

This compatibility constraint model is applicable to common opticalor hybrid electro-optical systems such as optical-electronic-optical(OEO) switches, regenerators, and wavelength converters, since suchsystems can be limited to processing only certain types of WSONsignals.
