INTERNET DRAFT   OTN fixed Timeslot constraints in OSPF    August 2019                
    
    
   This document describes the extensions needed to OSPF for 
   advertising the constraints that exists in some OTN switches while 
   switching timeslots between ports. This advertisement would be 
   needed for computing path of LSP through these switches taking into 
   account the above mentioned constraint.  
    
   This document proposes extensions to existing OSPF for advertising 
   the timeslots available on each OTN port in a new sub-tlv and the 
   connectivity matrix representing the capability of the device to 
   cross connect these timeslots in another new sub-tlv  
    
1. Introduction 
    
       In [RFC7138], a mechanism for advertising the ODU multiplexing 
   hierarchy is described. In [RFC7580], an optical node property TLV 
   is defined as an extension to the OSPF opaque LSA defined in 
   {RFC3630]. 
   . 
    
       This document describes the use of OSPF-TE in carrying 
   information about the details of OTN time slots available in each 
   port of an OTN switch and the connectivity matrix describing the 
   connectivity between the timeslots of the different ports. 
    
2. Terminology 
       
   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 RFC2119 [RFC2110]. 
    
   The reader is assumed to be familiar with the terminology in 
   RFC7138[RFC7138],RFC5780[RFC7580] and RFC3630{RFC3630] 
    
 
3. OSPF Extensions 
    
    
       A new OTN timeslot sub-TLV and OTN Connectivity matrix sub-TLV 
   are proposed in this document. The OTN timeslot sub-TLV will be used 
   in conjunction with the SCSI described in section 4.1 of 
   RFC7138[RFC7138]. The OTN connectivity matrix will be carried in the 
   Optical node property TLV described in RFC7580[RFC7580]

4. Operational overview 
        
       This section details the operation of the scheme proposed in 
   this document. 
     
        On some OTN switches there exists constraints on which OTN 
   timeslots can be cross connected to which other OTN timeslots. 
   Therefore, the node computing the path through such switches needs 
   to be aware of the OTN timeslots which are available and to which 
   other timeslots they can be cross connected. 
    
        The OTN timeslot sub-TLV is advertised along with the SCSI 
   defined in section 4.1 of RFC7138[RFC7138] as a separate sub-tlv of 
   the link tlv. The SCSI in RFC7138[RFC7138] only advertises the 
   number of timeslots available whereas this sub-TLV defines the exact 
   timeslots which are available in the form a bitmap.

INTERNET DRAFT   OTN fixed Timeslot constraints in OSPF    August 2019                
    
    
       The connectivity matrix sub-TLV is advertised in the node 
   attribute TLV of the opaque LSA defined in RFC3630[RFC3630} in line 
   with the connectivity matrix that is advertised in [RFC7580]. This 
   advertisement describes exactly which timeslots of an OTN interface 
   can be cross connected to which other timeslots of another OTN 
   Interface. For every pair of link identifiers, multiple pairs of 
   bitmaps are advertised, this denotes that timeslots, of the first 
   interface in the interface identifier pair, identified in the first 
   bitmap of the bitmap pair can be cross connected to timeslots, of 
   the second interface in the interface identifier pair, identified in 
   the second bitmap of the bitmap pair. Like this several interface 
   pairs and their corresponding bitmap pairs can be advertised.  
    For example, if on Interface I1 timeslots (t1,t3,t5) can be cross-
   connected to timeslots ( t2,t4,t6) on Interface I2 and ( t2,t4,t6)on 
   Interface I1 can be cross-connected to  (t1,t3,t5) on Interface I2, 
   then there will be one interface Identifier pair (I1,I2) advertised 
   with two bitmap pairs corresponding to (t1,t3,t5), (t2,t4,t6) and ( 
   t2,t4,t6), ( t1,t3,t5) 
    
      The above mentioned sub-TLVs together would help the node which 
   is computing the path to determine which timeslot to select on each 
   of the OTN ports to route the LSP on OTN switches which have 
   restriction on cross connecting OTN timeslots. 
    
      
 
    
5. Interoperability Considerations 
    
       The feature described in this document would be operational only 
   if all the OSPF routers in area support the extension described 
   above.  
    
6. Security considerations 
        
      None 
    
7. IANA Considerations 
 
   IANA needs to allocate a new Type for the OTN timeslot sub-TLV 
   described in section 3.1 and a new Type for the connectivity matrix 
   sub-TLV described in section 3.2
