Abstract

The GMPLS paradigm pleads for a control plane clearly separated from the data plane. Decoupling control plane from the data one provides several benefits, allowing signaling information not to be disrupted upon transport plane failures. Moreover, control plane protection mechanisms are not linked with the ones used in the transport plane, which permits to protect control information with improved efficiency. Link management protocol (LMP) is presented as the best candidate to provide control channel failure detection capabilities in the GMPLS-based control plane. However, it requires the manual configuration of control channel remote IP addresses. In this paper we propose novel control channel bootstrap procedures which are compared with alternative existing ones in terms of their requirements and achieved performance. Moreover, we propose extensions to LMP Config and ConfigAck messages to allow the bootstrap of related backup control channels when bootstrapping the working ones configuring an efficient link protection scheme. The feasibility and performance of our contributions has been evaluated over the experimental ASON/GMPLS CARISMA network control plane

弹性环架构的链路管理协议自动控制平面配置扩展

GMPLS范式要求控制平面与数据平面明显分离。将控制平面与数据平面解耦提供了几个好处，允许在传输平面故障时不中断信令信息。此外，控制平面的保护机制不与传输平面的保护机制相关联，从而提高了控制信息的保护效率。链路管理协议(Link management protocol, LMP)是在基于gmpls的控制平面中提供控制通道故障检测能力的最佳候选协议。但需要手动配置控制通道远端IP地址。本文提出了一种新的控制通道自举方法，并与已有的控制通道自举方法在要求和性能上进行了比较。此外，我们建议扩展LMP配置和ConfigAck消息，以允许在启动工作通道时启动相关的备份控制通道，从而配置有效的链路保护方案。在实验的ASON/GMPLS CARISMA网络控制平面上对我们的贡献的可行性和性能进行了评估
