Abstract
The Optical Interworking Forum (OIF) has defined extensions to the
Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and the Resource ReSerVation
Protocol (RSVP) for optical User Network Interface (UNI) signaling.
These extensions consist of a set of new data objects and error
codes. This document describes these extensions.
1. Introduction
The OIF UNI signaling specification is described in [8]. This
specification utilizes IETF protocol standards as well as IETF work
in progress. Specifically, the following IETF specifications are
used:
o Label distribution protocol (LDP) [6]
o Resource reservation protocol (RSVP) [5]
o GMPLS signaling and GMPLS extensions for SONET/SDH [4]
o GMPLS RSVP-TE and CR-LDP extensions [2, 3]
The aim of the OIF UNI specification is the maximal re-use of IETF
protocol definitions. A few extensions to IETF protocols, however,
have been defined to serve UNI-specific needs. These extensions are
described in this document.
