RFC 7699               GMPLS Labels for Flexi-Grid         November 20151.  Introduction   As described in [RFC3945], GMPLS extends MPLS from supporting only   Packet Switch Capable (PSC) interfaces and switching, to also support   four new classes of interfaces and switching that include Lambda   Switch Capable (LSC).   A functional description of the extensions to MPLS signaling needed   to support this new class of interface and switching is provided in   [RFC3471].Section 3.2.1.1 of [RFC3471] states that wavelength labels "only have   significance between two neighbors": global wavelength semantics are   not considered.  [RFC6205] defines a standard lambda label format   that has a global semantic and is compliant with both the Dense   Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) grid [G.694.1] and the Coarse   Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) grid [G.694.2].  The terms   DWDM and CWDM are defined in [G.671].   A flexible-grid network selects its data channels as arbitrarily   assigned pieces of the spectrum.  Mixed bitrate transmission systems   can allocate their channels with different spectral bandwidths so   that the channels can be optimized for the bandwidth requirements of   the particular bit rate and modulation scheme of the individual   channels.  This technique is regarded as a promising way to improve   the network utilization efficiency and fundamentally reduce the cost   of the core network.   The "flexi-grid" has been developed within the ITU-T Study Group 15   to allow selection and switching of pieces of the optical spectrum   chosen flexibly from a fine-granularity grid of wavelengths with   variable spectral bandwidth [G.694.1].   [RFC3471] defines several basic label types including the lambda   label.Section 3.2.1.1 of [RFC3471] states that wavelength labels   "only have significance between two neighbors"; global wavelength   semantics are not considered.  In order to facilitate   interoperability in a network composed of LSC equipment, [RFC6205]   defines a standard lambda label format and is designated an update ofRFC 3471.   This document continues the theme of defining global semantics for   the wavelength label by adding support for the flexi-grid.  Thus,   this document updates [RFC6205] and [RFC3471].   This document relies on [G.694.1] for the definition of the optical   data plane and does not make any updates to the work of the ITU-T.Farrel, et al.

RFC 7699               GMPLS Labels for Flexi-Grid         November 20151.1.  Conventions Used in This Document   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].2.  Overview of Flexi-Grid   [G.694.1] defines DWDM fixed grids.  The latest version of that   document extends the DWDM fixed grids to add support for flexible   grids.  The basis of the work is to allow a data channel to be formed   from an abstract grid anchored at 193.1 THz and selected on a channel   spacing of 6.25 GHz with a variable slot width measured in units of   12.5 GHz.  Individual allocations may be made on this basis from   anywhere in the spectrum, subject to allocations not overlapping.   [G.694.1] provides clear guidance on the support of flexible grid by   implementations in Section 2 ofAppendix I:      The flexible DWDM grid defined in clause 7 has a nominal central      frequency granularity of 6.25 GHz and a slot width granularity of      12.5 GHz.  However, devices or applications that make use of the      flexible grid may not have to be capable of supporting every      possible slot width or position.  In other words, applications may      be defined where only a subset of the possible slot widths and      positions are required to be supported.      For example, an application could be defined where the nominal      central frequency granularity is 12.5 GHz (by only requiring      values of n that are even) and that only requires slot widths as a      multiple of 25 GHz (by only requiring values of m that are even).   Some additional background on the use of GMPLS for flexible grids can   be found in [RFC7698].2.1.  Composite Labels   It is possible to construct an end-to-end connection as a composite   of more than one flexi-grid slot.  The mechanism used in GMPLS is   similar to that used to support inverse multiplexing familiar in   time-division multiplexing (TDM) and optical transport networks   (OTNs).  The slots in the set could potentially be contiguous or non-   contiguous (only as allowed by the definitions of the data plane) and   could be signaled as a single LSP or constructed from a group of   LSPs.  For more details, refer toSection 4.3.   How the signal is carried across such groups of channels is out of   scope for this document.Farrel, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 7699               GMPLS Labels for Flexi-Grid         November 20153.  Fixed-Grid Lambda Label Encoding   [RFC6205] defines an encoding for a global semantic for a DWDM label   based on four fields:   -  Grid: used to select which grid the lambda is selected from.      Values defined in [RFC6205] identify DWDM [G.694.1] and CWDM      [G.694.2].   -  C.S. (Channel Spacing): used to indicate the channel spacing.      [RFC6205] defines values to represent spacing of 100, 50, 25, and      12.5 GHz.   -  Identifier: a local-scoped integer used to distinguish different      lasers (in one node) when they can transmit the same frequency      lambda.   -  n: a two's-complement integer to take a positive, negative, or      zero value.  This value is used to compute the frequency as      defined in [RFC6205] and based on [G.694.1].  The use of n is      repeated here for ease of reading the rest of this document: in      case of discrepancy, the definition in [RFC6205] is normative.         Frequency (THz) = 193.1 THz + n * frequency granularity (THz)      where the nominal central frequency granularity for the flexible      grid is 0.00625 THz4.  Flexi-Grid Label Format and Values4.1 Flexi-Grid Label Encoding   This document defines a generalized label encoding for use in flexi-   grid systems.  As with the other GMPLS lambda label formats defined   in [RFC3471] and [RFC6205], the use of this label format is known a   priori.  That is, since the interpretation of all lambda labels is   determined hop by hop, the use of this label format requires that all   nodes on the path expect to use this label format.   For convenience, however, the label format is modeled on the fixed-   grid label defined in [RFC6205] and briefly described inSection 3.   Figure 1 shows the format of the Flexi-Grid Label.  It is a 64-bit   label.Farrel, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 5]

It is a 16-bit integer value   encoded in line format.         Slot Width (GHz) = 12.5 GHz * m   The Reserved field MUST be set to zero on transmission and SHOULD be   ignored on receipt.Farrel, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 7699               GMPLS Labels for Flexi-Grid         November 2015   An implementation that wishes to use the flexi-grid label encoding   MUST follow the procedures of [RFC3473] and of [RFC3471] as updated   by [RFC6205].  It MUST set Grid to 3 and C.S. to 5.  It MUST set   Identifier to indicate the local identifier of the laser in use as   described in [RFC6205].  It MUST also set n according to the formula   inSection 3 (inherited unchanged from [RFC6205]).  Finally, the   implementation MUST set m as described in the formula stated above.4.2.  Considerations of Bandwidth   There is some overlap between the concepts of bandwidth and label in   many GMPLS-based systems where a label indicates a physical switching   resource.  This overlap is increased in a flexi-grid system where a   label value indicates the slot width and so affects the bandwidth   supported by an LSP.  Thus, the m parameter is both a property of the   label (i.e., it helps define exactly what is switched) and of the   bandwidth.   In GMPLS signaling [RFC3473], bandwidth is requested in the   SENDER_TSPEC object and confirmed in the FLOWSPEC object.  The m   parameter, which is a parameter of the GMPLS flexi-grid label as   described above, is also a parameter of the flexi-grid Tspec and   Flowspec as described in [FLEXRSVP].4.3.  Composite Labels   The creation of a composite of multiple channels to support inverse   multiplexing is already supported in GMPLS for TDM and OTN (see   [RFC4606], [RFC6344], and [RFC7139]).  The mechanism used for flexi-   grid is similar.   To signal an LSP that uses multiple flexi-grid slots, a "compound   label" is constructed.  That is, the LABEL object is constructed from   a concatenation of the 64-bit Flexi-Grid Labels shown in Figure 1.   The number of elements in the label can be determined from the length   of the LABEL object.  The resulting LABEL object is shown in Figure 2   including the object header that is not normally shown in   diagrammatic representations of RSVP-TE objects.  Note that r is the   count of component labels, and this is backward compatible with the   label shown in Figure 1 where the value of r is 1.   The component labels MUST be presented in increasing order of the   value n.  Implementations MUST NOT infer anything about the encoding   of a signal into the set of slots represented by a compound label   from the label itself.  Information about the encoding MAY be handled   in other fields in signaling messages or through an out-of-band   system, but such considerations are outside the scope of this   document.Farrel, et al.

MUST have the same value in each component label.   -  Identifier in each component label may identify different physical      equipment.   -  Values of n and m in each component label define the slots that      are concatenated.   At the time of writing, [G.694.1] only supports only groupings of   adjacent slots (i.e., without intervening unused slots that could be   used for other purposes) of identical width (same value of m), and   the component slots must be in increasing order of frequency (i.e.,   increasing order of the value n).  The mechanism defined here MUST   NOT be used for other forms of grouping unless and until those forms   are defined and documented in Recommendations published by the ITU-T.   Note further that while the mechanism described here naturally means   that all component channels are corouted, a composite channel can   also be achieved by constructing individual LSPs from single flexi-   grid slots and managing those LSPs as a group.  A mechanism for   achieving this for TDM is described in [RFC6344], but is out of scope   for discussion in this document because the labels used are normal,   single-slot labels and require no additional definitions.Farrel, et al.

RFC 7699               GMPLS Labels for Flexi-Grid         November 20155.  Manageability and Backward Compatibility Considerations   This section briefly considers issues of manageability and backward   compatibility.5.1.  Control-Plane Backward Compatibility   Labels are carried in two ways in GMPLS: for immediate use on the   next hop and for use at remote hops.   It is an assumption of GMPLS that both ends of a link know what label   types are supported and only use appropriate label types.  If a label   of an unknown type is received, it will be processed as if it was of   a known type since the Label Object and similar label-carrying   objects do not contain a type identifier.  Thus, the introduction of   a flexi-grid label in this document does not change the compatibility   issues, and a legacy node that does not support the new flexi-grid   label should not expect to receive or handle such labels.  If one is   incorrectly used in communication with a legacy node, it will attempt   to process it as an expected label type with a potentially poor   outcome.   It is possible that a GMPLS message transitting a legacy node will   contain a flexi-grid label destined for or reported by a remote node.   For example, an LSP that transits links of different technologies   might record flexi-grid labels in a Record Route Object that is   subsequently passed to a legacy node.  Such labels will not have any   impact on legacy implementations except as noted in the manageability   considerations in the next section.5.2.  Manageability Considerations   This document introduces no new elements for management.  That is,   labels can continue to be used in the same way by the GMPLS protocols   and where those labels were treated as opaque quantities with local   or global significance, no change is needed to the management   systems.   However, this document introduces some changes to the nature of a   label that may require changes to management systems.  AlthoughSection 3.2 of [RFC3471] makes clear that a label is of variable   length according to the type and that the type is supposed to be   known a priori by both ends of a link, a management system is not   guaranteed to be updated in step with upgrades or installations of   new flexi-grid functionality in the network.Farrel, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 9]

RFC 7699               GMPLS Labels for Flexi-Grid         November 2015   But, an implementation expecting a 32-bit lambda label would not fail   ungracefully because the first 32 bits follow the format of   [RFC6205].  It would look at theses labels and read but not recognize   the new grid type value.  It would then give up trying to parse the   label and (presumably) the whole of the rest of the message.   The management system can be upgraded in two steps:   -  Firstly, systems that handle lambda labels as 32-bit quantities      need to be updated to handle the increased length (64 bits) of      labels as described in this document.  These "unknown" 64-bit      labels could be displayed as opaque 64-bit quantities and still      add a lot of value for the operator (who might need to parse the      label by hand).  However, an implementation that already supports      lambda labels as defined in [RFC6205] can safely continue to      process the first 32 bits and display the fields defined inRFC6205 as before, leaving just the second 32 bits as opaque data.   -  Second, a more sophisticated upgrade to a management system would      fully parse the flexi-grid labels and display them field by field      as described in this document.6.  Security Considerations   [RFC6205] notes that the definition of a new label encoding does not   introduce any new security considerations to [RFC3471] or [RFC3473].   That statement applies equally to this document.   For a general discussion on MPLS and GMPLS-related security issues,   see the MPLS/GMPLS security framework [RFC5920].7.

RFC 7699               GMPLS Labels for Flexi-Grid         November 2015Appendix A.  Flexi-Grid Example   Consider a fragment of an optical LSP between node A and node B using   the flexible grid.  Suppose that the LSP on this hop is formed:   -  using the ITU-T Flexi-Grid   -  the nominal central frequency of the slot is 193.05 THz   -  the nominal central frequency granularity is 6.25 GHz   -  the slot width is 50 GHz.   In this case, the label representing the switchable quantity that is   the flexi-grid quantity is encoded as described inSection 4.1 with   the following parameter settings.  The label can be used in signaling   or in management protocols to describe the LSP.      Grid = 3 : ITU-T Flexi-Grid      C.S. = 5 : 6.25 GHz nominal central frequency granularity      Identifier = local value indicating the laser in use      n = -8 :          Frequency (THz) = 193.1 THz + n * frequency granularity (THz)          193.05 (THz) = 193.1 (THz) + n * 0.00625 (THz)          n = (193.05 - 193.1) / 0.00625 = -8      m = 4 :          Slot Width (GHz) = 12.5 GHz * m          50 (GHz) = 12.5 (GHz) * m          m = 50 / 12.5 = 4Farrel, et al.
