A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Performance Monitoring in Photonic Networks in support of MPL(ambda)S Author(s) : L. Ceuppens, D. Blumenthal, J. Drake, J. Chrostowski, W. Edwards Filename : draft-ceuppens-mpls-optical-00.txt Pages : 11 Date : 10-Mar-00 Realizing the important role that photonic switches can play in data-centric networks, work has been going on within the IETF to combine the control plane of MPLS (more specifically traffic engineering) with the point-and-click provisioning capabilities of photonic switches [1]. This document outlines a proposal to expand this initiative to include DWDM, OADM and ATM systems. It also proposes to expand the work beyond simple establishment of optical paths and include optical performance monitoring and management. The combined path routing and performance information that will be carried and shared between these network elements will allow the elements or element management system (EMS) to adequately assess the 'health' of an optical path (which can be a wavelength or fiber strand). The routers and/or ATM switches at the edges of the photonic network will then use this information to dynamically manage the millions of wavelengths available in the photonic layer.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ceuppens-mpls-optical-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
