Abstract A wavelength switched optical network (WSON) requires that certain key information elements are made available to facilitate path computation and the establishment of label switching paths (LSPs). The information model described in "Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks" shows what information is required at specific points in the WSON. Part of the WSON information model contains aspects that may be of general applicability to other technologies, while other parts are fairly specific to WSONs. This document provides efficient, protocol-agnostic encodings for the WSON specific information elements. It is intended that protocol-specific documents will reference this memo to describe how information is carried for specific uses. Such encodings can be used to extend GMPLS signaling and routing protocols. In addition these encodings could be used by other mechanisms to convey this same information to a path computation element (PCE). Conventions used in this document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC-2119 [RFC2119].

Introduction A Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) is a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical network in which switching is performed selectively based on the center wavelength of an optical signal. [RFC6163] describes a framework for Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) and Path Computation Element (PCE) control of a WSON. Based on this framework, [RWA-Info] describes an information model that specifies what information is needed at various points in a WSON in order to compute paths and establish Label Switched Paths (LSPs). Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 This document provides efficient encodings of information needed by the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) process in a WSON. Such encodings can be used to extend GMPLS signaling and routing protocols. In addition these encodings could be used by other mechanisms to convey this same information to a path computation element (PCE). Note that since these encodings are relatively efficient they can provide more accurate analysis of the control plane communications/processing load for WSONs looking to utilize a GMPLS control plane. 1. Terminology Refer to [RFC6163] for CWDM, DWDM, RWA, WDM. Refer to Section 5 of [Gen-Encode] for the terminology of Resources, Resources Blocks, and Resource Pool. 2. Resources, Resource Blocks, and the Resource Pool This section provides encodings for the information elements defined in [RWA-Info] that have applicability to WSON. The encodings are designed to be suitable for use in the GMPLS routing protocols OSPF [RFC4203] and IS-IS [RFC5307] and in the PCE protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440]. Note that the information distributed in [RFC4203] and [RFC5307] is arranged via the nesting of sub-TLVs within TLVs and this document defines elements to be used within such constructs. Specific constructs of sub-TLVs and the nesting of sub-TLVs of the information element defined by this document will be defined in the respective protocol enhancement documents. This document defines the following information elements pertaining to resources within an optical node: . Resource Accessibility . Resource Wavelength Constraints . Resource Block Pool State . Resource Block Shared Access Wavelength Availability Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 . Resource Block Information Each of these information elements works with one or more sets of resources rather than just a single resource block. This motivates the following field definition. 2.1. Resource Block Set Field In a WSON node that includes resource blocks (RB), denoting subsets of these blocks allows one to efficiently describe common properties of the blocks and to describe the structure and characteristics, if non-trivial, of the resource pool. The RB Set field is defined in a similar manner to the label set concept of [RFC3471]. The information carried in a RB set field is defined by: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Action |C| Reserved | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Identifier 1 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ : : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Identifier n | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Action: 8 bits 0 - Inclusive List Indicates that the TLV contains one or more RB elements that are included in the list. 1 - Inclusive Range(s) Indicates that the TLV contains one or more ranges of RBs. Each individual range is denoted by two 32 bit RB identifier. The first 32 bits is the RB identifier for the start of the range and the next 32 bits is the RB identifier for the end of the range. Note that the Length field is used to determine the number of ranges. Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 C (Connectivity bit): Set to 0 to denote fixed (possibly multi- cast) connectivity; Set to 1 to denote potential (switched) connectivity. Used in Resource Accessibility field. Ignored elsewhere. Reserved: 7 bits This field is reserved. It MUST be set to zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt. Length: 16 bits The total length of this field in bytes. RB Identifier: The RB identifier represents the ID of the resource block which is a 32 bit integer. Usage Note: the inclusive range "Action" can result in very compact encoding of resource sets and it can be advantages to number resource blocks in such a way so that status updates (dynamic information) can take advantage of this efficiency. 3. Resource Accessibility/Availability This section defines the information elements for dealing with accessibility and availability of resource blocks within a pool of resources. These include the ResourceAccessibility, ResourceWaveConstraints, and RBPoolState fields. 3.1. Resource Accessibility Field This information element describes the structure of the resource pool in relation to the switching device. In particular it indicates the ability of an input port to reach sets of resources and of sets of resources to reach a particular output port. This is the PoolInputMatrix and PoolOutputMatrix of [RWA-Info]. The Resource Accessibility is defined by: Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved |C| Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Input Link Set Field A #1 | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field A #1 | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Additional Link set and RB set pairs as needed to | : specify PoolInputMatrix : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Output Link Set Field B #1 | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set B Field #1 (for output connectivity) | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Additional Link Set and RB set pairs as needed to | : specify PoolOutputMatrix : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Where C (Connectivity bit): Connectivity indicates how the input/output ports connect to the resource blocks. 0 -- the device is fixed (e.g., a connected port must go through the resource block) 1 -- the device is switched (e.g., a port can be configured to go through a resource but isn't required) The For the Input and Output Link Set Fields, the Link Set Field encoding defined in [Gen-Encode] is to be used. A Label Set Field MUST carry a label as defined in [RFC6205]. Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 Note that the direction parameter within the Link Set Field is used to indicate whether the link set is an input or output link set, and the bidirectional value for this parameter is not permitted in this field. See Appendix A.1 for an illustration of this encoding. 3.2. Resource Wavelength Constraints Field Resources, such as wavelength converters, etc., may have a limited input or output wavelength ranges. Additionally, due to the structure of the optical system not all wavelengths can necessarily reach or leave all the resources. These properties are described by using one or more resource wavelength restrictions fields as defined below: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |I|O|B| Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Input Wavelength Constraints | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Output Wavelength Constraints | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ I = 1 or 0 indicates the presence or absence of the Input Wavelength Constraints Field. O = 1 or 0 indicates the presence or absence of the Output Wavelength Constraints Field. B = 1 indicates that a single wavelength constraints field represents both Input and Output Wavelength Constraints Fields. Currently the only valid combinations of (I,O,B) are (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (1,1,0), (0,0,1). Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 RB Set Field: A set of resource blocks (RBs) which have the same wavelength restrictions. Input Wavelength Constraints Field: Indicates the wavelength input restrictions of the RBs in the corresponding RB set. This field is encoded via the Label Set field of [Gen-Encode]. Output Wavelength Constraints Field: Indicates the wavelength output restrictions of RBs in the corresponding RB set. This field is encoded via the Label Set field of [Gen-Encode]. Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 3.3. Resource Block Pool State (RBPoolState) Field The state of the pool is given by the number of resources available with particular characteristics. A resource block set is used to encode all or a subset of the resources of interest. The usage state of resources within a resource block set is encoded as either a list of 16 bit integer values or a bit map indicating whether a single resource is available or in use. The bit map encoding is appropriate when resource blocks consist of a single resource. This information can be relatively dynamic, i.e., can change when a connection (LSP is established or torn down. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Action | Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Usage state | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Where Action = 0 denotes a list of 16 bit integers and Action = 1 denotes a bit map. In both cases the elements of the RB Set field are in a one-to-one correspondence with the values in the usage RB usage state area. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Action = 0 | Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB#1 state | RB#2 state | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB#n-1 state | RB#n state or Padding | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ RB#i State (16 bits, unsigned integer): indicates Resource Block #i is in use or available. Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 Whether the last 16 bits is a wavelength converter (RB) state or padding is determined by the number of elements in the RB set field. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Action = 1 | Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Usage state bitmap | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ...... | Padding bits | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ RB Usage state: Variable Length but must be a multiple of 4 byes. Each bit indicates the usage status of one RB with 0 indicating the RB is available and 1 indicating the RB is in used. The sequence of the bit map is ordered according to the RB Set field with this element. Padding bits: Variable Length 3.4. Resource Block Shared Access Wavelength Availability (RBSharedAccessWaveAvailability) Field Resources blocks may be accessed via a shared fiber. If this is the case, then wavelength availability on these shared fibers is needed to understand resource availability. Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 11] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |I|O| Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Input Available Wavelength Set Field | : (Optional) : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Output Available Wavelength Set Field | : (Optional) : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ I bit: Indicates whether the input available wavelength set field is included (1) or not (0). O bit: Indicates whether the output available wavelength set field is included (1) or not (0). RB Set Field: A Resource Block set in which all the members share the same input or output fiber or both. Input Available Wavelength Set Field: Indicates the wavelengths currently available (not being used) on the input fiber to this resource block. This field is encoded via the Label Set field of [Gen-Encode]. Output Available Wavelength Set Field: Indicates the wavelengths currently available (not being used) on the output fiber from this resource block. This field is encoded via the Label Set field of [Gen-Encode]. Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 4. Resource Signal Constraints and Processing Capabilities Within a WSON network element (NE) there may be resources with signal compatibility constraints. These resources be regenerators, wavelength converters, etc... Such resources may also constitute the network element as a whole as in the case of an electro optical switch. This section primarily focuses on the signal compatibility and processing properties of such a resource block. The fundamental properties of a resource block, such as a regenerator or wavelength converter, are: (a) Optical Interface Class List(s) (b) Acceptable Client Signal (shared input, modulation, FEC, bit rate, G-PID) (c) Input Bit Rate (d) Processing Capabilities (number of resources in a block, regeneration, performance monitoring, vendor specific) 4.1. Resource Block Information (ResourceBlockInfo) Field Resource Block information fields are used to convey relatively static information about individual resource blocks including the resource block compatibility properties, processing properties, and the number of resources in a block. There can be more than one Resource Block field as resources are packaged together in blocks of similar devices and its characteristics. This field has the following format: Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |I|O| Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Optical Interface Class List(s) (opt) | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Acceptable Client Signal Type (opt) | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Input Bit Rate List (opt) | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Processing Capabilities List (opt) | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ RB Set Field is described in Section 2.1. 4.2. Shared Input or Output Indication The shared input or output indication is indicated by the first bit (I) and the second bit (O): where I and O are set to 1 if the resource blocks identified in the RB set field utilized a shared fiber for input/output access and set to 0 otherwise. 4.3. Optical Interface Class List(s) Field The list of Optical Interface Class Field has the following format: Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Reserved |I|E| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Optical Interface Classes | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The following I and E combination are defined: I E 0 0 Invalid 1 0 Optical Interface Class List acceptable in input 0 1 Optical Interface Class List available in output 1 1 Optical Interface Class List available on both input and output.

Security Considerations This document defines protocol-independent encodings for WSON information and does not introduce any security issues. However, other documents that make use of these encodings within protocol extensions need to consider the issues and risks associated with, inspection, interception, modification, or spoofing of any of this information. It is expected that any such documents will describe the necessary security measures to provide adequate protection. A general discussion on security in GMPLS networks can be found in [RFC5920]. 6. IANA Considerations This document provides general protocol independent information encodings. There is no IANA allocation request for the information elements defined in this document. IANA allocation requests will be addressed in protocol specific documents based on the encodings defined here. 7. Acknowledgments This document was prepared using 2-Word-v2.0.template.dot.

The resource block information will tell us about the processing constraints of the receivers, transmitters and the electronic switch. The resource availability information, although very simple, tells us that all signals must traverse the electronic fabric (fixed connectivity). The resource wavelength constraints are not needed since there are no special wavelength constraints for the resources that would not appear as port/wavelength constraints. : Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 30] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field | : (only one resource block in this example with shared | | input/output case) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |1|1| Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Optical Interface Class List(s) | : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Input Client Signal Type | : (G-PIDs for SDH and G.709) : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Input Bit Rate Range List | : (2.5Gbps, 10Gbps) : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Processing Capabilities List | : Fixed (non optional) 3R regeneration : : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Since there is fixed connectivity to resource blocks (the electronic switch) the is: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Connectivity=0|Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Input Link Set Field A #1 | : (All input links connect to resource) : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RB Set Field A #1 | : (trivial set only one resource block) : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Output Link Set Field B #1 | : (All output links connect to resource) : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Bernstein and Lee Expires July 27, 2014 [Page 31] Internet-Draft Wavelength Switched Optical Networks January 2014 8.
