Abstract
Automatic Switched Optical Network (ASON) is an architecture,
specified by ITU-T Study Group 15, for the introduction of a control
plane for optical networks. The ASON architecture specifies a set of
reference points that defines the relationship between the ASON
architectural entities. Signaling over interfaces defined in those
reference points can make use of protocols that are defined by the
IETF in the context of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
(GMPLS) work. This document describes Constraint-Based LSP setup
using LDP (CR-LDP) extensions for signaling over the interfaces
defined in the ASON reference points. The purpose of the document is
to request that the IANA assigns code points necessary for the CR-LDP
extensions. The protocol specifications for the use of the CR-LDP
extensions are found in ITU-T documents.

1. Introduction
Automatic Switched Optical Network (ASON) is an architecture,
specified by ITU-T Study Group 15 (SG15), for the introduction of a
control plane for optical networks. The development and the
standardization of ASON has been done by ITU-T SG15 and is documented
in recommendation G.8080 [1]. The architecture includes a control
plane with a set of reference points between the architectural
components. The ASON signaling that runs over interfaces defined in
those reference points are described in ITU-T recommendation G.7713
[2].
Constraint-Based LSP Setup using LDP (CR-LDP) [3] is one of the
protocols selected by the ITU for the realization of G.7713 and its
dynamic connection management. The work specific to CR-LDP extensions
for ASON is documented in ITU-T recommendation G.7713.3 [8].
This document introduces those CR-LDP extensions that are specific to
ASON and requests IANA allocation of code points for these
extensions. The document does not specify how these extensions are
used; that is the subject of the above mentioned ITU-T documents.
This document should be considered in conjunction with RFC 3036 [4],
RFC 3212 [3], and CR-LDP extensions for GMPLS [5].
2. Overview of CR-LDP Extensions for ASON
This document describes ASON specific CR-LDP extensions covering the
following ASON signaling requirements:
- Call and connection control separation
- Support of Soft Permanent Connections (SPC)
- Crankback
- Additional error codes
An important ASON architectural principle is the separation between
the call and the connection controllers as described in G.8080. Call
and connection control separation allows for a call with multiple
connections associated with it. It also allows for a call with no
Aboul-Magd Informational [Page 2]
RFC 3475 CR-LDP Extensions for ASON March 2003
connections (a temporary situation that might be useful during
recovery).
The separation of the call and the connection controllers could be
achieved using one of two models. The first model is one where the
call set up request is always accompanied by a connection request.
The second model is one in which call set up is done independently
from connection set up. The first model is usually referred to as
logical separation, while the second model is usually referred to as
complete separation. CR-LDP extensions for ASON support the two
separation models.
Two new messages are introduced for call operations (set up and
release). The Call Setup message is used for those cases where
complete separation is required. Otherwise the LDP Label Request
message is used for logical separation.
A connection set up request must indicate the call to which the
connection needs to be associated. A Call ID TLV is introduced to
achieve this goal. The structure of the Call ID allows it to have a
global or an operator scope.
Call release is always achieved using the Call Release message. The
reception of the call Release messages signifies the intention to
remove all connections that are associated to the call. Connection
release is achieved using the CR-LDP label release procedure (using
LDP Label Release and Label Withdraw messages) as defined in [4].
A Call Capability TLV is also introduced to explicitly indicate the
capability of the requested call.
An Soft Permanent Connection (SPC) service assumes that both source
and destination user-to-network connection segments are provisioned
while the network connection segment is set up via the control plane.
For example when the initial request is received from an external
source, e.g. from a management system, there is an implicit
assumption that the control plane has adequate information to
determine the specific destination (network-to-user) link connection
to use. Support for CR-LDP is provided by the use of the Egress
Label TLV as defined in the OIF UNI 1.0 section 11.7.5 [6] from the
Optical Internetworking Forum and in RFC3476 [7].
3. CR-LDP Messages for ASON
This section describes the formats and the procedures of the two
messages that are required for ASON call and connection control
separation. Those messages are the Call Setup messages and the Call
Release message.

3.1.2 Call Setup Procedure
The Calling party sends the Call Setup message whenever a new call
needs to be set up with no connection associated with it. The Call
Setup message shall contain all the information required by the
network to process the call. In particular, the Call Setup message
shall include the calling and called party addresses as specified by
the Source ID and Dest ID TLV. The setup message must include Call
ID TLV. The call control entity shall identify the call using the
selected identifier for the lifetime of the call. The Call Setup
message shall progress through the network to the called party. The
called party may accept or reject the incoming call. An LDP
Notification message with the appropriate status code shall be used
to inform the calling party whether the setup is successful. The
call can be rejected by either the network, e.g. for policy reasons,
or by the called party.

3.2.1 Call Release Procedure
The Call Release message is sent by any entity of the network to
terminate an already established call. The Call Release message must
include the Call ID TLV of the call to be terminated. Confirmation
of call release is indicated to the request initiator using a
Notification message with the appropriate status code. Reception and
processing of the Call Release message must trigger the release of
all connections that are associated with that call. Connection
release follows the normal CR-LDP procedure using Label Release and
Label Withdraw messages.
4. CR-LDP TLVs for ASON
This section describes the operator specific Call ID TLV, the
globally unique Call ID TLV, the Call Capability TLV and the
Crankback TLV introduced for ASON.
4.1 Call ID TLV
An established call may be identified by a Call ID. The Call ID is a
globally unique identifier that is set by the source network. The
structure for the Call ID (to guarantee global uniqueness) is to
concatenate a globally unique fixed identifier (composed of country
code, carrier code, unique access point code) with an operator
specific identifier (where the operator specific identifier is
composed of ingress network element (NE) address and a local
Identifier).
Therefore, a generic CALL_ID with global uniqueness includes <global
Id> (composed of <country code> plus <carrier code> plus <unique
access point code>) and <operator specific Id> (composed of <NE
address> plus <local Identifier>). For a CALL_ID that requires only
operator specific uniqueness, only the <operator specific Id> is
needed, while for a CALL_ID that is required to be globally unique
both <global ID> and <operator specific Id> are needed.
The <global Id> shall consist of a three-character International
Segment (the <country code>) and a twelve-character National Segment
(the <carrier code> plus <unique access point code>). These
characters shall be coded according to ITU-T Recommendation T.50.

NEA Sub TLV:
The Source NE Address is an address of the transport network
element controlled by the source network. Its length can be 4, 6,
16, or 20 bytes long. The NEA Sub TLV is TLV Type 1.
Local Identifier:

International Segment (IS):
To be coded according to ITU-T recommendation T.50. The
International Segment (IS) field provides a 3 character ISO 3166
Geographic/Political Country Code. The country code is based on
the three-character uppercase alphabetic ISO 3166 Country Code
(e.g., USA, FRA).
National Segment (NS):
The National Segment (NS) field consists of two sub-fields:
- the first subfield contains the ITU Carrier Code
- the second subfield contains a Unique Access Point Code.
The ITU Carrier Code is a code assigned to a network
operator/service provider, maintained by the ITU-T
Telecommunication Service Bureauin association with Recommendation
M.1400. This code consists of 1-6 left-justified alphabetic, or
leading alphabetic followed by numeric, characters (bytes). If
the code is less than 6 characters (bytes), it is padded with a
trailing NULL to fill the subfield.
The Unique Access Point Code is a matter for the organization to
which the country code and ITU carrier code have been assigned,
provided that uniqueness is guaranteed. This code consists of 1-6
characters (bytes), trailing NULL, completing the 12-character
National Segment. If the code is less than 6 characters, it is
padded by a trailing NULL to fill the subfield.

4.1.1 Call ID Procedure
The following processing rules are applicable to the CALL ID TLV:
- For initial calls, the calling/originating party call controller
must set the CALL ID values to all-zeros.
Aboul-Magd Informational [Page 8]
RFC 3475 CR-LDP Extensions for ASON March 2003
- For a new call request, the source networks call controller (SNCC)
sets the appropriate type and value for the CALL ID.
- For an existing call (in case Call ID is non zero) the SNCC
verifies existence of the call.
- Intermediate nodes are not allowed to alter the Call ID TLV set by
the ingress node.
- The destination user/client receiving the request uses the CALL ID
values as a reference to the requested call between the source
user and itself. Subsequent actions related to the call uses the
CALL ID as the reference identifier.
4.2 Call Capability TLV
The format of the Call Capability TLV is:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Call Capability |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
The Call Capability TLV contains a 4 byte Call Capability field. The
Call Capability Field is used to explicitly indicate the
configuration potentiality of the call.
An example of values of the Call Capability field is:
0x0000 Point to Point call
4.3 Crankback TLV
Crankback requires that when the Label Request message is blocked at
a particular node due to unavailable resources, the node will inform
the initiator of the Label Request message of the location of the
blockage. The initiator can then re-compute new explicit routes that
avoid the area where resource shortage is detected. A new Label
Request message is sent that includes the new route.
The support of crankback in CR-LDP is facilitated by the introduction
of a Crankback TLV. An LDP Notification message is used to inform
the Label Request message initiator of the blocking condition. The
Notification message includes the Crankback TLV that indicates the
location of resource shortage. The location of the resource shortage
is identified using the ER-HOP TLV. The encoding of the Crankback
TLV is:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
The ER-HOP TLV is specified in rfc3212 [3], and consists of an n x 4
bytes field, it could e.g. contain an IPv4 or an IPv6 address.
