Re: Can wavelength availability information be carried by OSPF-Ext for GMPLS?
Hi Shu,
Yes, in principle, whenever event of link-state change occurs, optical link information is updated.
How it causes a OSPF convergence problem depends on the frequency of the link-state update and
network topology.
I think that the wavelength availability information is needed to perform traffic engineering
in optical networks.
I am now describing this issue and the updated version will be posted soon.
Hope this helps. Best regards.
