Graceful Label Numberingin Optical MPLS Networks Ibrahim C. Arkut ica@.tr Refik C. Arkut refik.arkut@.tr Nasir Ghani nghani@ FEC / label binding mechanism Matching the Speeds? MPLS multicast caterpillar using graceful numbering Graceful numbering of paths and caterpillars (*)  are not complex and resembles label assignment in MPLS MPLS Roles One Control (MPLS) - End to End Lambda-Labeling with Graceful Numbering(IP-Over-WDM) Graceful Numbering of Two Light-paths (without lambda conversion) Graceful Numbering of Two Light-paths with wavelength conversion Summary  Multi Protocol Label Switching is a routing technique that imitate connection oriented forwarding method in a connectionless (IP) environment What is MPLS? Hop-by-hop or source routing  to establish labels - non-shortest paths Uses label native to the media Multi level label substitution transport What is MPLS? (cont.) Why MPLS ? Performance and scalability Explicit routing and traffic engineering Constraint-based Routing / QoS Separation of control (routing) and forwarding Virtual Private Networks Controllable tunneling mechanism Unified approach to routing functionality Best of both Worlds PacketForwarding Circuit Switching Flexibility and predictability Performance - complexity trade-off MPLS+IP IP ATM HYBRID over the same path treated in the same manner mapped to the same label IP1 IP2 IP1 IP2 LSR LSR LER (ingress) LER (egress) LSP IP1 #L1 IP2 #L1 IP1 #L2 IP2 #L2 IP1 #L3 IP2 #L3 Forwarding Equivalence Classes (FEC) Flow of IP packets Binding is done once at the ingress LER / OXC Currently based on destination IP address prefix Future mappings based on SP-defined policy In electronic MPLS domain Label --- FEC (packet associated) In photonic MPLS domain Label --- Wavelength ( channel associated) MPLS Signaling Protocols Hop-by-hop Explicit Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) Constraint-based Routing LDP (CR-LDP) Extension
