Optical_Transport_Protocol_Extensions_V1.0下载

This document specifies a set of recommended extensions to the OpenFlow-Switch protocol to support the requirements for control of optical transport networks and equipment. The requirements have been identified in [1]. These extensions have been defined using the experimental extension mechanism supported in OpenFlow-Switch to add messages and attributes to the base protocol specification. The extensions are identified using the experimenter ID assigned to the Optical Transport Working Group. While these extensions are being specified in a standalone Technical Specification, they may in future be merged into the main OpenFlow-Switch specification. This document further specifies procedures for the use of OpenFlow-Switch base specification features in the context of optical transport networks and equipment, including interpretation of attributes that are described in the base specification using a packet switch framework. This document does not consider OF-Config extensions at this time; however future versions may also incorporate recommendations for extensions to OF-Config or other ONF protocols.
