In order to provision an optical connection through optical networks, a combination of path continuity, resource availability, and impairment constraints must be met to determine viable and optimal paths through the network. The determination of appropriate paths is known as Impairment-Aware Routing and Wavelength Assignment (IA-RWA) for WSON, while it is known as Impairment-Aware Routing and Spectrum Assigment (IA-RSA) for SSON.¶

In order to provision an optical connection (an optical path) through a wavelength switched optical networks (WSONs) or spectrum switched optical networks (SSONs), a combination of path continuity, resource availability, and impairment constraints must be met to determine viable and optimal paths through the network. The determination of appropriate paths is known as Impairment-Aware Routing and Wavelength Assignment (IA-RWA) [RFC6566] for WSON, while it is known as IA-Routing and Spectrum Assigment (IA-RSA) for SSON.¶
This document provides a YANG data model for the impairment-aware Traffic Engineering (TE) topology in WSONs and SSONs. The YANG model described in this document is a WSON/SSON technology-specific Yang model based on the information model developed in [RFC7446] and the two encoding documents [RFC7581] and [RFC7579] that developed protocol independent encodings based on [RFC7446].¶
The intent of this document is to provide a YANG data model, which can be utilized by a Multi-Domain Service Coordinator (MDSC) to collect states of WSON impairment data from the Transport PNCs to enable impairment-aware optical path computation according to the ACTN Architecture [RFC8453]. The communication between controllers is done via a NETCONF [RFC8341] or a RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Similarly,this model can also be exported by the MDSC to a Customer Network Controller (CNC), which can run an offline planning process to map latter the services in the network.¶
It is worth noting that optical data plane interoperability is a complex topic especially in a multi vendor environment and usually requires joint engineering, which is independent from control plane and management plane capabilities. The YANG data model defined in this draft is providing sufficient information to enable optical impairment aware path computation. Optical data plane interoperability is outside the scope of this draft.¶
This document augments the generic TE topology YANG model defined in [RFC8795] where possible.¶
This document defines one YANG module: ietf-optical-impairment- topology (Section 3) according to the new Network Management Datastore Architecture [RFC8342].¶
Refer to [RFC6566], [RFC7698], and [G.807] for the key terms used in this document.¶
The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are not redefined here:¶
The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are not redefined here:¶
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC7950].¶
The term ROADM in this document refers to the term "multi-degree reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (MD-ROADM)" as defined in [G.672]. It does not include local optical transponders, which can be co-located in the same physical device (managed entity).¶
The term WDM-node refers to a physical device, which is managed as a single network element.¶
The term WDM-TE-node refers to those parts of a WDM-node (physical device) that are modeled as a TE-node as defined in [RFC8795], which may include a ROADM and/or multiple local optical transponders(OTs). Hence, a WDM-TE-node may only contain OTs.¶
The term "WDM-TE-network" refers to a set of WDM-TE-nodes as defined above that are interconnected via TE-links carrying WDM signals. These TE-links may include optical amplifiers.¶
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in Section 2 of this this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].¶

Figure 1 shows the control plane architecture.¶
The topology model developed in this document is an abstracted topology YANG model that can be used at the interfaces between the MDSC and the Optical Domain Controller (aka MPI) and between the Optical Domain Controller and the Optical Device (aka SBI) in Figure 1. It is not intended to support a detailed low-level DWDM interface model. DWDM interface model is supported by the models presented in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-dwdm-if-param-yang].¶
This section provides the description of the optical transport network reference architecture and its relevant components to support optical impairment-aware path computation.¶
Figure 2 shows the reference architecture.¶
BA (on the left side WDM-TE-node) is the engress Amplifier and PA (on the right side WDM-TE-node is the ingress amplifier for the OMS Media Channel Group (MCG) Figure 2.¶
According to [G.807] and [G.872], an OTS Media Channel Group (MCG) represents a topological construct between two adjacent amplifiers, such as:¶
(i) between a WDM-TE-node's BA and the adjacent ILA, (ii) between a pair of ILAs, (iii) between an ILA and the adjacent WDM-TE-node's PA.¶
According to [G.807] and [G.872], an OMS Media Channel Group (MCG) represents a topological construct between two WDM-TE-nodes.¶
Specifically, it originates at the ROADM in the source WDM-TE-node and terminates at the ROADM in the destination WDM-TE-node including the Booster Amplifier (BA) and the Pre-Amplifier (PA) in the WDM-TE-nodes as well as the In-Line Amplifiers (ILAs) between the two WDM-TE-nodes.¶
An OMS MCG can be decomposed into a sequence of OTS MCGs and amplifiers.¶
An OMS MCG can be described as a sequence of elements such as BA, fiber section, ILA, PA, and concentrated loss wherever there is an insertion loss caused for example by a fiber connector.¶
In TE-topology terms, the OMS MCG is modeled as a WDM TE-link interconnecting two WDM-TE-nodes. A network controller can retrieve the optical impairment data for all the WDM TE-link elements defined in the layer-0 topology YANG model.¶
The optical impairments related to the link between remote optical transponders, located in a different WDM-TE-node (an IP router with integrated optical transponders for example), can also be modeled as a WDM TE-link using the same optical impairments as those defined for a WDM TE-link between WDM-TE-nodes (OMS MCG). In this scenario, the node containing the remote optical transponders can be considered as WDM-TE-node with termination capability only and no no switching capabilities.¶
An OMS MCG is terminated on both ends by a link termination point (LTP) as defined in [RFC8345]. Links in optical transport networks are typically bidirectional but have to be modeled as a pair of two unidirectional links following the [RFC8345] modeling approach. Unlike TE-links, which are unidirectional, the LTPs on either end of the TE-link pair forming the bidirectional link, are bidirectional as described in [I-D.ietf-teas-te-topo-and-tunnel-modeling] and the pair of unidirectional links are connected to the same bidirectional LTP on either end of the link pair.¶
The OTSi is defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.959.1, section 3.2.4 [G.959.1]. The YANG model defined below assumes that a single OTSi consists of a single modulated optical carrier. This single modulated optical carrier conveys digital information. Characteristics of the OTSi signal are modulation scheme (e.g. QPSK, 8-QAM, 16-QAM, etc.), baud rate (measure of the symbol rate), pulse shaping (e.g. raised cosine - complying with the Nyquist inter symbol interference criterion), etc.¶
Path computation needs to know the existing OTSi signals for each OMS link in the topology to determine the optical impairment impact of the existing OTSi signals on the optical feasibility of a new OTSi signal and vice versa, i.e., the impact of the new OTSi on the existing OTSi signals. For determining the optical feasibility of the new OTSi, it is necessary to know the OTSi properties like carrier frequency, baud rate, and signal power for all existing OTSi signals on each OMS link.¶
Additionally, it is necessary for each WDM-TE-node in the network to know the OTSi signals that are added to or dropped from an WDM TE-link (OMS MCG)link as well as the optical power of these OTSi signals to check whether the WDM-TE-node's optical power constraints are met.¶
The optical impairment-aware topology YANG model below defines the OTSi properties needed for optical impairment-aware path computation including the spectrum occupied by each OTSi signal. The model also defines a pointer (leafref) from the OTSi to the transceiver module terminating the OTSi signal.¶
The OTSi signals in the YANG model are described by augmenting the network and each OTSi signal is uniquely identified by its otsi-carrier-id, which is unique within the scope the OTSiG [see Section 2.3.2 below] the OTSi belongs to.¶
The OTSiG is defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.807 [G.807] as a "set of optical tributary signals (OTSi) that supports a single digital client". Hence, the OTSiG is an electrical signal that is carried by one or more OTSi's. The relationship between the OTSiG and the the OTSi's is described in [G.807], section 10.2. The YANG model below supports both cases: the single OTSi case where the OTSiG contains a single OTSi (see [G.807], Figure 10-2) and the multiple OTSi case where the OTSiG consists of more than one OTSi (see [G.807], Figure 10-3). From a layer 0 topology YANG model perspective, the OTSiG is a logical construct that associates the OTSi's, which belong to the same OTSiG. The typical application of an OTSiG consisting of more than one OTSi is inverse multiplexing. Constraints exist for the OTSi's belonging to the same OTSiG such as: (i) all OTSi's must be co-routed over the same optical fibers and nodes and (ii) the differential delay between the different OTSi's may not exceed a certain limit. Example: a 400Gbps client signal may be carried by 4 OTSi's where each OTSi carries 100Gbps of client traffic.¶
All OTSiGs are described in the YANG model by augmenting the network and each OTSiG is uniquely identified by its otsi-group-id, which is unique within the network. Each OTSiG also contains a list of the OTSi signals belonging to the OTSiG.¶
[G.807] defines a "media channel" as "A media association that represents both the topology (i.e., the path through the media) and the resource (i.e., frequency slot or effective frequency slot) that it occupies." In this document, the term "channel" is occasionally used to indicate the resource of an MC (i.e., frequency slot or effective frequency slot), without representing topology.¶
The MC is an end-to-end topological network construct and can be considered as an "optical pipe" with a well-defined frequency slot between one or more optical transmitters each generating an OTSi and the corresponding optical receivers terminating the OTSi's. If the MC carries more than one OTSi, it is assumed that these OTSi's belong to the same OTSiG.¶
The frequency slot of the MC is defined by the n value defining the central frequency of the MC and the m value that defines the width of the MC following the flexible grid definition in [G.694.1]. In this model, the effective frequency slot as defined in [G.807] is equal to the frequency slot of this end-to-end MC. It is also assumed that ROADM devices can switch MCs. For various reasons (e.g. differential delay), it is preferred to use a single MC for all OTSi's of the same OTSiG. It may however not always be possible to find a single MC for carrying all OTSi's of an OTSiG due to spectrum occupation along the OTSiG path.¶
The definition of the MCG is currently work in progress in ITU-T and is defined in section 7.1.3 of the new ITU-T draft Recommendation G.807 (still work in progress) [G.807]. The YANG model below assumes that the MCG is a logical grouping of one or more MCs that are used to to carry all OTSi's belonging to the same OTSiG.¶
The MCG can be considered as an association of MCs without defining a hierarchy where each MC is defined by its (n,m) value pair. An MCG consists of more than one MC when no single MC can be found from source to destination that is wide enough to accommodate all OTSi's (modulated carriers) that belong to the same OTSiG. In such a case the set of OTSi's belonging to a single OTSiG have to be split across 2 or more MCs.¶
The MCG is relevant for path computation because all end-to-end MCs belonging to the same MCG have to be co-routed, i.e., have to follow the same path. Additional constraints may exist (e.g. differential delay).¶
Optical amplifiers are used in WDM networks for amplifying the optical signal in the optical domain without any optical to electrical and electrical to optical conversion. There are three main optical amplifier technologies:¶
In today's WDM networks EDFAs and Raman amplifiers are widely used. Raman amplifiers have become attractive due to their large spectral gain bandwidth, which can be quite flat, with similar or even lower noise figures compared to EDFAs. On the other hand, Raman amplifiers consume more power and are usually more expensive than EDFAs.¶
Raman amplifiers are distributed amplifiers where an optical pump signal is injected typically in opposite direction to the optical signal that is amplified (backward pump, counter-propagating pump light). Injecting the optical pump signal in the same direction is also possible (forward pump, co-propagating pump light). For optical amplifiers, the YANG model defines Raman pump light attributes describing the direction (raman-direction) with respect to the signal that is amplified and optical frequency and power for the pump light source(s) contained in the raman-pump list. These Raman amplifier-specific attributes are optional as they are only applicable to Raman amplifiers. For determining the optical amplifier type, i.e., to figure out whether an optical amplifier is a Raman amplifier, the type-variety attribute is used. Due to the distributed nature of the Raman amplifier it is difficult to clearly separate the amplifier from the fiber span into which the pump signal is injected. From a topology modeling perspective, the Raman amplifier is modeled as two OMS line elements:¶
Amplifiers can be classified according to their location along the TE-link (OMS MCG). There are three basic amplifier types: In-Line Amplifiers, Pre-Amplifiers and Booster Amplifiers. ILAs are separate physical devices while Pre-Amplifiers and Booster Amplifiers are integral elements of a WDM-node. From a data modeling perspective, node-internal details should not be modeled and should be abstracted as much as possible. For Pre-Amplifiers and Booster Amplifiers, however, a different approach has been taken and they are modeled as TE-link elements as they have the same optical impairments as ILAs.¶
ILAs are placed at locations where the optical amplification of the WDM signal is required on the TE-link (OMS MCG) between two WDM-TE-nodes nodes. Geolocation information is already defined for TE nodes in [RFC8795] and is also beneficial for ILAs. Therefore, the same geolocation container has been added to the amplifier element on an OMS link containing altitude, latitude, and longitude as optional attributes.¶
One modeling consideration of the ROADM internal is to model power parameter through the ROADM, factoring the output power from the Pre-Amplifier minus the ROADM power loss would give the input power to the Booster Amplifier. In other words, Power_in (@ ROADM Booster) = Power_out (@ ROADM Pre-Amplifier) - Power_loss (@ ROADM WSS/Filter).¶
[Editor's note: The relationship between the transponder and the OTSi in the YANG model described in Section 3 needs further clarification and refinement.]¶
A Transponder is the element that sends and receives the optical signal from a DWDM network. A transponder can comprise one or more transceiver modules. A transceiver represents a transmitter/receiver (Tx/Rx) pair as defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.698.2 [G.698.2]. In addition to the transceiver, which is terminating an OTSi signal, a transponder typically provides additional layer 1 functionality like for example aggregation (multiplexing) of client layer signals, which is outside the scope of this document addressing layer 0 aspects of transponders.¶
The termination of an OTSi signal by a transceiver is modeled as a function of the tunnel termination point (TTP) as defined in [RFC8795]. Due to the fact that optical transport services (TE tunnels) are typically bidirectional, a TTP is also modeled as a bidirectional entity like the LTP described above. Moreover, a TTP can terminate one or several OTSiG signals (tunnels) as described in [I-D.ietf-teas-te-topo-and-tunnel-modeling] and each OTSiG consists of one or multiple OTSi signals as described in Section 2.3.2. Therefore, a TTP may be associated with multiple transceiver modules.¶
A transponder is typically characterized by its data/symbol rate and the maximum distance the signal can travel. Other transponder properties are: carrier frequency for the optical channels, output power per channel, measured input power, modulation scheme, FEC, etc.¶
From a path computation perspective, the selection of the compatible configuration of the source and the destination transceivers is an important factor for optical signals to traverse through the DWDM network.¶
The YANG model defines three different approaches to describe the transceiver capabilities (called "modes") that are needed to determine optical signal compatibility:¶
A standard mode is related to an optical specification developed by an SDO organization. Currently, the "Standard Modes" can only be referred to ITU-T G.698.2 [G.698.2] since G.698.2 is the only specification defining "Standard Modes" today. Nothing is precluding, however, to consider other specifications provided by any other SDO in the Standard Mode context as soon as such sepcifications will be available. An application code as defined in ITU-T G.698.2 [G.698.2] is representing a standard ITU-T G.698.2 optical interface specification towards the realization of transversely compatible DWDM systems. Two transceivers supporting the same application code and a line system matching the constraints, defined in ITU-T G.698.2, for that application code will interoperate. As the characteristics are encoded in the application code, the YANG model in this document only defines a string, which represents that application code.¶
Organizations like operator groups, industry fora, or equipment vendors can define their own optical interface specifications and make use of transceiver capabilities going beyond existing standards.¶
An organizational mode is identified by the organization-identifier attribute defining the scope and an operational-mode that is meaningful within the scope of the organization. Hence, the two attributes must always be considered together. It is the responsibility of the organization to assign operational modes and to ensure that operational modes are unique and unambiguous within the scope of the organization.¶
Two transceivers can be interconnected, if they have at least one (organization-identifier, operational-mode) pair in common and if the supported carrier frequency and power attributes have a matching range. This is a necessary condition for path computation in the context of organizational modes.¶
An operational mode is a transceiver preset (a configuration with well-defined parameter values) subsuming several transceiver properties defined by the optical interface specification - these properties are not provided for anoperational mode and are therefore not defined in the YANG model. Examples of these properties are:¶
The major reason for these transceiver presets is the fact that the attribute values typically cannot be configured independently and are therefore advertised as supported operational mode capabilities. It is the responsibility of the organization to assign operational modes and to ensure that operational modes are unique and not ambiguous within the scope of the organization.¶
In addition to the transceiver properties subsumed by the operational mode, optical power and carrier frequency related properties are modeled separately, i.e., outside of the operational mode. This modeling approach allows transponders using different transceiver variants (e.g. optical modules) with slightly different power and/or frequency range properties to interoperate without defining separate operational modes. Different optical modules (pluggables) from different suppliers typically have slightly different input and output power ranges or may have slightly different carrier frequency tuning ranges.¶
The received channel power and the received total power are two parameters that can be measured by the receiver and can be provided by the transceiver in order to allow a controller to determine the expected performance of the end-to-end service taking into account the optical impairments along the path.¶
An organization may define the operational modes to include the optical power and carrier frequency related properties following the application code approach as defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.698.2 [G.698.2]. In such a case, the explicit optical power and carrier frequency related optional attributes shall be omitted in order to avoid redundant information in the description of the transceiver capabilities. If these attributes are provided in addition to the operational modes including these attribute values implicitly, the parameter values provided explicitly replace the implicit values and take precedence. This shall, however, only be an done in exceptional cases and shall be avoided whenever possible. In case an implicitly given range is extended utilizing the explicit optional attributes, a path computation policy rule may be applied to select a value preferably from the range defined implicitly and to only select a value from the extended range if no path can be found for values in the implicitly defined range. Path computation policy is outside the scope of this topology YANG model.¶
In summary, the optical power and carrier frequency related attributes shall either be described implicitly by the operational mode following the definition provided by that organization or shall be described explicitly when the optical power and carrier frequency related properties are not included in the operational mode definition.¶
The explicit mode allows to encode, explicitly, any subset of parameters e.g., FEC type, Modulation type, etc, to enable a controller entity to check for interoperability by means outside of this draft. It shall be noted that using the explicit encoding does not guarantee interoperability between two transceivers even in case of identical parameter definitions. The explicit mode shall therefore be used with care, but it could be useful when no common Application Codes or Organizational Modes exist or the constraints of common Application Codes or Organizational Modes cannot be met by the line system.¶
The YANG model described in Section 3 defines the optical transceiver properties. They are divided between:¶
The transceiver capabilities are described by the set of modes the transceiver is supporting. Each mode MUST follow only one of the three mode options defined above (choice in the YANG model). The YANG model allows to describe the transceiver capabilities by mixing different modes. A transceiver may support some ITU-T application codes and in addition some organizational or explicit modes.¶
A transceiver mode description comprises the following properties:¶
These optical transceiver properties are explicitly defined in the model for explicit and organizational modes, while they are implicitly defined for the application codes (see ITU-T G698.2 [G.698.2]).¶
The set of optical impairment limits, e.g., min OSNR, max PMD, max CD, max PDL, Q-factor limit, are explicitly defined for the explicit modes while they are defined implicitly for the application codes and organizational modes.¶
It is possible that the set of parameter values defined for an explicit mode may also be represented in form of an organizational mode or one or more application codes. The "supported-mode" container may provide two different lists with pointers to application codes and organizational modes, respectively.¶
The current transponder configuration describes the properties of the OTSi transmitted or received by the transceiver attached to a specific transponder port.¶
Each OTSi has the following three pointer attributes modeled as leafrefs:¶
Additionally, the OTSi is described by the following frequency and optical power related attributes:¶
Optical transponders are usually used to terminate a layer 0 tunnel (layer 0 service) in the WDM layer. If, however, no optical path can be found from the source transponder to the destination transponder that is optically feasible due to the optical impairments, one or more 3R regenerators are needed for regenerating the optical signal in intermediate nodes. The term "3R" regenerator means: reamplification, reshaping, retiming. As described in [G.807], Appendix IV, a 3R regenerator terminates the OTSi and generates a new OTSi. Depending on the 3R regenerator capabilities, it can provide functions such as carrier frequency translation (carrier-frequency), changes in the modulation scheme (modulation-type) and FEC (FEC-type) while passing through the digital signal except the FEC (the FEC is processed and errors are corrected).¶
The 3R regeneartion compound function is illustrated in section 10.1 of [G.798.1], and sections 10.3 and 10.4 provide examples of a ROADM architecture and a photonic cross-connect architecture including 3R regenerators. Based on the provided functionality, 3R regenerators are considered as topological layer 0 entities because they are needed for layer 0 path computation in case the optical impairments make it impossible to find an optically feasible end-to-end path from the source transponder to the destination transponder without 3R regeneration. When an end-to-end path includes one or more 3R regenerators, the corresponding layer 0 tunnel is subdivided into 2 or more segments between the source transponder and the destination transponder terminating the layer 0 tunnel.¶
3R regenerators are usually realized by a pair of optical transponders, which are described in Section 2.5 above. If a pair of optical transponders is used to perform a 3R regeneratator function, two different configurations are possible involving the pair of optical transceivers of the two optical transponders:¶
Due to the fact that 3R regenerators are composed of an optical transponder pair, the capabilitiy whether an optical transponder can be used as a 3R regenerator is is added to the transponder capabilities. Hence, no additional entity is required for describing 3R regenerators in the TE-topology YANG model. The optical transonder capabilities regarding the 3R regenerator function are described by the following two YANG model attributes:¶
The supported-termination-type attribute describes whether the optical transponder can be used as tunnel terminating transponder only, as 3R regenerator only, or whether it can support both functions. The supported-3r-mode attrbute describes the configuration of the transponder pair forming the 3R regeneartor as described above.¶
More text to be added here!¶
WSS separates the incoming light input spectrally as well as spatially, then chooses the wavelength that is of interest by deflecting it from the original optical path and then couple it to another optical fibre port. WSS/Filter is internal to ROADM. So this document does not model the inside of ROADM.¶
There are various optical fiber types defined by ITU-T. There are several fiber-level parameters that need to be factored in, such as, fiber-type, length, loss coefficient, pmd, connectors (in/out).¶
ITU-T G.652 defines Standard Singlemode Fiber; G.654 Cutoff Shifted Fiber; G.655 Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber; G.656 Non-Zero Dispersion for Wideband Optical Transport; G.657 Bend-Insensitive Fiber. There may be other fiber-types that need to be considered.¶
The WDM-node architectures in today's dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks can be categorized as follows:¶
The TE topology YANG model augmentations including optical impairments for DWDM networks defined below intend to cover all the 3 categories of WDM-node architectures listed above. In the case of a disaggregated WDM-node architecture, it is assumed that the optical domain controller already performs some form of abstraction and presents the WDM-TE-node representing the disaggregated WDM-node in the same way as an integrated WDM-TE-node with local optical transponders if the optical transponder subsystems and the add/drop subsystems are collocated (short fiber links not imposing any significant optical impairments).¶
The different WDM-node architectures are briefly described and illustrated in the following subsections.¶
[Editor's note: The modeling of remote optical transponders located for example in the client device with a single channel link between the OT and the add/drop port of the WDM-TE-node requires further investigations and will be addressed in a future revision of this document.]¶
Figure 2 and Figure 8 below show the typical architecture of an integrated WDM-node, which contains the optical transponders as an integral part of the WDM-node. Such an integrated WDM-node provides DWDM interfaces as external interfaces for interconnecting the device with its neighboring WDM-node (see OMS MCG above). The number of these interfaces denote also the degree of the WDM-node. A degree 3 WDM-node for example has 3 DWDM links that interconnect the WDM-node with 3 neighboring WDM-nodes. Additionally, the WDM-node provides client interfaces for interconnecting the WDM-node with client devices such as IP routers or Ethernet switches. These client interfaces are the client interfaces of the integrated optical transponders.¶
Figure 9 below shows the extreme case where all optical transponders are not integral parts of the WDM-node but are separate devices that are connected to the add/drop ports of the WDM-node. If the optical transponders and the WDM-node are collocated and if short single channel fiber links are used to interconnect the optical transponders with an add/drop port of the WDM-node, the optical domain controller may present these optical transponders in the same way as local optical transponders. If, however, the optical impairments of the single channel fiber link between the optical transponder and the add/drop port of the WDM-node cannot be neglected, it is necessary to represent the fiber link with its optical impairments in the topology model This also implies that the optical transponders belong to a separate TE-node¶
[Editor's note: this requires further study].¶
Recently, some DWDM network operators started demanding WDM subsystems from their vendors. An example is the OpenROADM project where multiple operators and vendors are developing related YANG models. The subsystems of a disaggregated WDM-TE-node are:¶
These subsystems are separate network elements and each network element provides a separate management and control interface. The subsystems are typically interconnected using short fiber patch cables and form together a disaggregated WDM-TE-node. This disaggregated WDM-TE-node architecture is depicted in Figure 10 below.¶
As this document defines TE topology YANG model augmentations [RFC8795] for the TE topology YANG model provided at the north-bound interface of the optical domain controller, it is a valid assumption that the optical domain controller abstracts the subsystems of a disaggregated WDM-TE-node and presents the disaggregated WDM-TE-node in the same way as an integrated WDM-node hiding all the interconnects that are not relevant from an external TE topology view.¶
[Editor's note: the following text still needs to be updated based on the agreed terminology]¶
When an optical OTSi signal traverses a ROADM node, optical impairments are imposed on the signal by various passive or active optical components inside the ROADM node. Examples of optical impairments are:¶
A ROADM node contains a wavelength selective photonic switching function (WSS)that is capable of switching media channels (MCs) described in Section 2.3.4. These MCs can be established between two line ports of the ROADM or between a line port and an Add/Drop port of the ROADM. The Add/Drop ports of a ROADM are those ports to which optical transponders are connected. Typically, this is a single channel signal (single OTSi), but principally this could also be a group of OTSi signals. The optical impairments associated with these MCs are different and the paths of the MCs inside the ROADM node can be categorized as follows:¶
Due to the symmetrical architecture of the ROADM node, the optical impairments associated with the express path are typically the same between any two line ports of the ROADM whereas the optical impairments for the add and drop paths are different and therefore have to be modeled separately.¶
The optical impairments associated with each of the three types of ROADM-node-internal paths described above are modeled as optical impairment parameter sets. These parameter sets are modeled as an augmentation of the te-node-attributes defined in [RFC8795]. The te-node-attributes are augmented with a list of roadm-path-impairments for the three ROADM path types distinguished by the impairment-type. Each roadm-path-impairments list entry contains the set of optical impairment parameters for one of the three path types indicated by the impairment-type. For the optical feasibility calculation based on the optical impairments, it is necessary to know whether the optical power of the OTSi stays within a certain power window. This is reflected by some optical power related parameters such as loss parameters or power parameters, which are included in the optical impairment parameter sets (see tree view in Section 3).¶
[RFC8795] defines a connectivity matrix and a local link connectivity list for the TE node. The connectivity matrix describes the connectivity for the express paths between the different lines of the ROADM and the local link connectivity list describes the connectivity for the Add and Drop paths of the ROADM. These matrices are augmented with a new roadm-path-impairment matrix element, an add-path-impairment, and drop-path-impairment matrix element, respectively, which are defined as a pointer to the corresponding entry in the roadm-path-impairments list (leaf-ref).¶

The YANG model defined in this document supports the following protection architectures:¶
[Editor's note: this section is still work in progress]¶
Individual OTSi protection is a protection architecture where an individual OTSi signal is protected as defined in Appendix III of ITU-T Recommendation G.873.1 [G.873.1]. This protection architecture requires dedicated photonic protection functions that are typically provided by dedicated protection hardware. These photonic protection functions are a photonic splitter function splitting the OTSi signal in transmit direction and a photonic selector function selecting the OTSi signal in receive direction from one of the two protection legs between the protection functions terminating the individual OTSi protection. This individual OTSi protection scheme can be considered as a photonic 1+1 protection scheme (1+1 sub-network connection protection (SNCP) in ITU-T terminology).¶
In case of individual OTSi protection, there are two network media channel paths associated with the OTSi signal. In the YANG model, this is modeled as a leaf list of the otsi providing the nmc-path-id for the two network media channel paths associated with the individually protected otsi.¶
[Editor's note: this section is still work in progress]¶
OMS MCG protection is a protection architecture where a TE-link between two adjacent WDM-TE-nodes is protected. This is a local protection scheme, which can be modeled as a TE-link property.¶
