Information About Implementing GMPLS UNI
To implement GMPLS UNI, you should understand these concepts:
GMPLS UNI vs GMPLS NNI
In case of GMPLS NNI, the optical network topology is known and path calculations are performed at the
NNI head. In case of GMPLS UNI, the optical network topology is unknown to the UNI-C nodes and path
calculations are performed by the UNI-N nodes.
GMPLS LSP Signaling
The GMPLS overlay model architecture is used for LSP signaling for GMPLS connections. In GMPLS UNI,
UNI-C nodes send a request for a connection to UNI-N node. The connection request does not contain an
end-to-end path. This is because, as mentioned previously, UNI-C nodes do not have knowledge of the topology
of the optical network and therefore cannot determine the end-to-end path. The UNI-C node signals a connection
request without an ERO.
The LSP diversity is signalled on a GMPLS UNI tunnel with a path-option. A path-option is permitted on a
GMPLS UNI tunnel with a "no ERO" and an optional "XRO" attribute sets to specify LSP diversity
