Generalized MPLS and Intelligent Optical Networking Emerging Standards for Intelligent Optical Networking 围绕智能光联网出现的标准 Introduction Service providers and optical switching vendors have recognized the importance of Intelligent Optical Networks, and are working together to create a set of standard interfaces and protocols for Optical Network Control. Most prominently, the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), the main standardization body for IP networking, is developing a set of specifications known as Generalized MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching) for this purpose. 服务提供商和光交换设备供应商意识到了智能光网络的重要性，并且一起为光网络控制制订一系列标准接口和协议。最显著的是IETF（互联网工程项目组）---最主要的IP 组网标准化团体，正在为次目的制订一套通用多协议标签交换规范。 The Intelligent Optical Network model embeds networking intelligence in the form of routing and signaling protocols into optical network devices, replacing the traditional centralized approach to managing networks. This facilitates the automation of provisioning, discovery of network topology and network restoration/healing, resulting in greater speed and flexibility of deploying network services and reduced operating costs. 智能光网络模型内嵌以路由和信令协议型式的组网智能于光网络设备，替换传统的集中型的方式来管理网络。这有利于配置、网络拓扑发现、网络恢复及自愈的自动化，从而大大提高了组网和提供服务的速度和灵活性并且减少了运营成本。 The signaling capabilities required for Intelligent Optical Networking include: -- neighbor discovery -- link-state dissemination -- path management and control -- protection and restoration 智能光网络所需的信令能力包括： 相邻节点的发现 链路状态信息的散发 路径管理和控制 保护和恢复 The IETF GMPLS effort consists of a set of protocols designed to address these capabilities, mostly based on extensions of existing IETF protocols like OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol). Ciena’s internal optical signaling protocol, OSRP (Optical Signaling and Routing Protocol), is a pre-GMPLS implementation supporting Intelligent Optical Network signaling requirements. OSRP shares some basic principles with GMPLS but is currently more complete and stable for use within optical networks. C
