SUMMARY
Advances in the
Optical Layer control plane are critical to ensure
that the tremendous amount of bandwidth generated by DWDM
technology
be provided to upper layer
services in a timely, reliable, and cost
effective fashion. This document describes some unique features and
requirements for the Optical Layer control
plane that protocol
designers need to take
into consideration. This draft was made a design
team document and a WG document at Minneapolis. It is being
merged with
draft-banerjee-routing-impairments-00.txt to create a requirements
document for the WG.

WHERE DOES IT FIT IN THE PICTURE OF THE SUB-IP WORK
Describes specific characteristics of optical technology and
the requirements they
place on routing (path
selection).
WHY IS IT TARGETED AT THIS WORKING GROUP
The material is specific to optical networks. It identifies and documents
the
characteristics of the optical transport network
that are important for
selecting paths for optical
channels, which is a work area for the IPO WG.
JUSTIFICATION
The material covered is
directly aimed at establishing a framework and requirements for
routing in an optical network.
