Discussion of Convergence is Everyw here ITU-T o “ … the access infrastructure telcos are building to support IPTV services will finally give them the ability to converge voice, video and data onto a single network… ” – Americas Network Pseudo-Wires are “ the solution for convergence in future o telecom networks, because it preserves profitable legacy services even as it enables the creation of a truly next- generation network” – Heavy Reading “ 3GPP defines a new subsystem to enable the convergence of o voice and data applications and the harmonization of various mobile network technologies over IP” – Deutsche Bank Convergence is changing the face of the network I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 3

The Benefits of Convergence ITU-T o S ervices reduced to applications on converged infrastructure • Reduced operations • Reduced core cap-ex o New services can be provided • Individual Networks per S ervice limited service interaction o Packet & optical routing convergence can improve network performance even if only IP services are provided I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 4

The Reality of Convergence ITU-T o Non-native service delivery • End User S ervices are always layered on something else o The whole network will not be converged overnight • Too many existing services already deployed o The whole network will never be completely converged • Fully depreciated equipment still generates revenue I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 5

How Can This Be Accom m odated? ITU-T o Common flexible control method that understands layering • Path Computation that understand layered net works —Provides service routing given view of potential/ available server layer resources • S ignaling mechanisms that coordinate calls in different layers • OSS es that can handle integrated views of layer networks —Relate services requests (client layer calls) to server resources in use • Definitions for server layer resources other than SONET/ S DH I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 6

Multi-layer overview ITU-T o Need path computation for a network made up of many different technologies, in any layer that has switching flexibility. o Current methods separate network topologies per technology, creating separate discontinuous graphs o Path Computation methods only operate on graphs without discontinuity. Need to make a continuous routing view for a multi-technology network I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 1 5

Representation of Server Layer connectivity ITU-T o G.8080 (2006): Two maj or approaches, with two minor forms: • S erver Layer Representation using Links only: —Client layer links resulting from established server layer trails o Result of cross connection of fibers, HOVC paths, etc. —Client layer links provided by potential server layer trails o Abstract links representing potential connectivity o Requires management specification • S erver Layer Representation using Links & S ubnetworks —Client layer abstract node containing server layer o Abstract topology representing potential connectivity o Can be generated automatically —S erver layer topology shadow in client layer o Non-abstract topology showing server links incl. attributes o Can be generated automatically I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 1 6

Representation using client links ( actual) ITU-T o Connection is established in S erver Layer o Link appears in Client Layer I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 1 7

Representation using client links ( potential) ITU-T o Link is put into client layer knowing that server layer resources exist o S erver layer trail is established when link is put into use I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 1 8

Representation using client subnetw ork ITU-T o Client layer is provided with an abstract node that represents the server layer connectivity • Routing can compute a path in the client layer o S erver layer connection established when abstract node appears in client layer ERO I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 1 9

Representation using client subnet & links ITU-T o Client layer contains server layer topology o Routing can see all attributes of server layer resources o S erver layer connection established using client layer ERO information I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 2 0

W hat inform ation is required? ITU-T o Understanding of adaptations in use G.805 o Understanding of termination/ switching capability o Ability to control choice of server layer trails in Policy place of client layer links I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 2 1

W hat inform ation is required? ITU-T o GMPLS Routing Announcements • Limited to switching capability information • Need to add adaptation and termination capability info o Adding this information creates a “ backward compatibility” problem • S imilar to problem that exists between MPLS and GMPLS I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 2 2

W hat is PCE? ITU-T o PCE = Path Computation Element o Facilitated by AS ON Functional Architecture • Functional Architecture makes no assumptions on physical location o Essentially a remote procedure call method • Used within an area between S ignaling (CC) and Routing instances (RC) • Used between areas by routing instances (RC) I TU-T W orkshop “NGN and its Transport Netw orks“ Kobe, 2 0 -2 1 April 2 0 0 6 2 4
