IP over Optical BOF (ipo) Monday, March 27 at 1530-1730 ============================= CHAIRS: Andy Malis Jim Luciani DESCRIPTION: The advent of switched multi-channel (WDM and DWDM) optical networks using OXCs (Optical Cross-connects) presents many new opportunities for supporting faster and more flexible provisioning of IP services. The keys to realizing these opportunities include: - Providing the ability to automatically set-up and tear-down paths (optical channels) across the optical network from both a user to network interface and network/node to network interface - Providing the means for IP services to leverage this capability - Establishing new supporting protocols and mechanisms - Modifying existing IP and MPLS routing and connection signaling protocols - Providing well-defined interfaces between the IP and optical networking layers The proposed IP over Optical WG will not duplicate work already being done elsewhere, such as MPLS per-LSP protection switching as provided by LSRs, OSPF and IS-IS extensions to support constrained routing, extensions to PPP to support direct carriage over fiber in a SONET-less environment, and so on. However, the WG may generate requirements or other input to be considered in other WGs.
