[CCAMP] Microwave topology Notes from October 17

[Jonas Ahlberg <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

Short notes from our discussion today.

The meeting continued the discussion about the relevant use cases and the underlying network structures to consider in the work going forward.


  *   It was clarified that the main purpose of the slides created by Jonas and updated by Stephen is to elaborate the use cases and put them into a context of what the underlying network structures/layers could look like.
     *   There was a discussion about the need for and how one instance of a topology model could support multiple L1 technologies. To be continued ...
     *   Another topic discussed was how the information in a microwave topology model on L1, e.g. about availability and current bandwidth, should be made available to a PCE. Should the information be propagated in the hierarchy of layers and become accessible in the resources used directly by the PCE, or should the PCE have knowledge about when to drill down in the hierarchy of layers to get access to the information. To be continued ...
     *   There is currently only one service creation example in the slide pack and it illustrates the creation of a TE LSP and its relation to underlying resources and the supported service. There is a need to create other examples, e.g. for non-TE bridge type of services.
  *   It was decided the we should continue the discussion and the elaboration of the use cases at the meeting next week.
Until then, contributions / discussion via mail are encouraged.

Regards
JonasA

Hi all,

Short notes from our discussion today.

Please remember that the meeting time has been changed.


  *   The meeting continued the discussion about the applicability of te-topology concepts and the benefits of augmenting te-topology v.s. network-topology. The meeting concluded that most of the discussions require a refinement/clarification of the use cases to be supported by the model. It was decided that it should be the focus for the coming week and be discussed and agreed on the next meeting.
  *   The use cases mentioned (and which need to be further refined) are:
     *   L1 microwave radio link topology discovery
        *   Illustrate how radio link topology can co-exist with other L1 technologies
     *   End-to-end L2 service creation over a L1 topologies, including microwave radio link and L1 connectivity for interconnection between the radio links
        *   Show cases with and without bandwidth reservation
     *   Use case showing how microwave radio link could support higher order layers such IP/MPLS (other than L2).

Attached is a presentation showing earlier discussions about use-cases.
