It is intended that 68 protocol-specific documents will reference this memo to describe how 69 information is carried for specific uses. Such encodings can be used 70 to extend GMPLS signaling and routing protocols. In addition these 71 encodings could be used by other mechanisms to convey this same 72 information to a path computation element (PCE). 74 Conventions used in this document 76 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 77 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this 78 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC-2119 [RFC2119]. 80 Table of Contents 82 1.

Introduction 119 A Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) is a Wavelength 120 Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical network in which switching is 121 performed selectively based on the center wavelength of an optical 122 signal. 124 [RFC6163] describes a framework for Generalized Multiprotocol Label 125 Switching (GMPLS) and Path Computation Element (PCE) control of a 126 WSON. Based on this framework, [RWA-Info] describes an information 127 model that specifies what information is needed at various points in 128 a WSON in order to compute paths and establish Label Switched Paths 129 (LSPs). 131 This document provides efficient encodings of information needed by 132 the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) process in a WSON. Such 133 encodings can be used to extend GMPLS signaling and routing 134 protocols. In addition these encodings could be used by other 135 mechanisms to convey this same information to a path computation 136 element (PCE). Note that since these encodings are relatively 137 efficient they can provide more accurate analysis of the control 138 plane communications/processing load for WSONs looking to utilize a 139 GMPLS control plane. 141 1.1. Terminology 143 Refer to [RFC6163] for CWDM, DWDM, RWA, WDM. 145 Refer to Section 5 of [Gen-Encode] for the terminology of Resources, 146 Resources Blocks, and Resource Pool. 148 2. Resources, Resource Blocks, and the Resource Pool 150 This section provides encodings for the information elements defined 151 in [RWA-Info] that have applicability to WSON. The encodings are 152 designed to be suitable for use in the GMPLS routing protocols OSPF 153 [RFC4203] and IS-IS [RFC5307] and in the PCE protocol (PCEP) 154 [RFC5440]. Note that the information distributed in [RFC4203] and 155 [RFC5307] is arranged via the nesting of sub-TLVs within TLVs and 156 this document defines elements to be used within such constructs. 157 Specific constructs of sub-TLVs and the nesting of sub-TLVs of the 158 information element defined by this document will be defined in the 159 respective protocol enhancement documents. 161 This document defines the following information elements pertaining 162 to resources within an optical node: 164 . Resource Accessibility 166 . Resource Wavelength Constraints 168 . Resource Block Pool State 170 . Resource Block Shared Access Wavelength Availability 171 173 . Resource Block Information 175 Each of these information elements works with one or more sets of 176 resources rather than just a single resource block. This motivates 177 the following field definition. 179 2.1. Resource Block Set Field 181 In a WSON node that includes resource blocks (RB), denoting subsets 182 of these blocks allows one to efficiently describe common properties 183 of the blocks and to describe the structure and characteristics, if 184 non-trivial, of the resource pool. The RB Set field is defined in a 185 similar manner to the label set concept of [RFC3471]. 187 The information carried in a RB set field is defined by: 189 0 1 2 3 190 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 1 191 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 192 | Action |C| Reserved | Length | 193 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 194 | RB Identifier 1 | 195 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 196 : : : 197 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 198 | RB Identifier n | 199 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 201 Action: 8 bits 203 0 - Inclusive List 205 Indicates that the TLV contains one or more RB elements that are 206 included in the list. 208 1 - Inclusive Range(s) 210 Indicates that the TLV contains one or more ranges of RBs. Each 211 individual range is denoted by two 32 bit RB identifier. The first 212 32 bits is the RB identifier for the start of the range and the next 213 32 bits is the RB identifier for the end of the range. Note that the 214 Length field is used to determine the number of ranges. 216 C (Connectivity bit): Set to 0 to denote fixed (possibly multi- 217 cast) connectivity; Set to 1 to denote potential (switched) 218 connectivity. Used in Resource Accessibility field. Ignored 219 elsewhere. 221 Reserved: 7 bits 223 This field is reserved. It MUST be set to zero on transmission and 224 MUST be ignored on receipt. 226 Length: 16 bits 228 The total length of this field in bytes. 230 RB Identifier: 232 The RB identifier represents the ID of the resource block which is a 233 32 bit integer. 235 Usage Note: the inclusive range "Action" can result in very compact 236 encoding of resource sets and it can be advantages to number 237 resource blocks in such a way so that status updates (dynamic 238 information) can take advantage of this efficiency. 240 3. Resource Accessibility/Availability 242 This section defines the information elements for dealing with 243 accessibility and availability of resource blocks within a pool of 244 resources. These include the ResourceAccessibility, 245 ResourceWaveConstraints, and RBPoolState fields. 247 3.1. Resource Accessibility Field 249 This information element describes the structure of the resource 250 pool in relation to the switching device. In particular it indicates 251 the ability of an input port to reach sets of resources and of sets 252 of resources to reach a particular output port. This is the 253 PoolInputMatrix and PoolOutputMatrix of [RWA-Info]. 255 The Resource Accessibility is defined by: 257 0 1 2 3 258 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 1 259 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 260 |Reserved(8bits)|C| Reserved (23 bits) | 261 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 262 | Input Link Set Field A #1 | 263 : : 264 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 265 | RB Set Field A #1 | 266 : : 267 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 268 | Additional Link set and RB set pairs as needed to | 269 : specify PoolInputMatrix : 270 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 271 | Output Link Set Field B #1 | 272 : : 273 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 274 | RB Set B Field #1 (for output connectivity) | 275 : : 276 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 277 | Additional Link Set and RB set pairs as needed to | 278 : specify PoolOutputMatrix : 279 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 281 Where 283 C (Connectivity bit): Connectivity indicates how the input/output 284 ports connect to the resource blocks. 286 0 -- the device is fixed (e.g., a connected port must go 287 through the resource block) 289 1 -- the device is switched (e.g., a port can be configured to 290 go through a resource but isn't required) 292 The For the Input and Output Link Set Fields, the Link Set Field 293 encoding defined in [Gen-Encode] is to be used. A Label Set Field 294 MUST carry a label as defined in [RFC6205]. 296 Note that the direction parameter within the Link Set Field is used 297 to indicate whether the link set is an input or output link set, and 298 the bidirectional value for this parameter is not permitted in this 299 field. 301 See Appendix A.1 for an illustration of this encoding. 303 3.2. Resource Wavelength Constraints Field 305 Resources, such as wavelength converters, etc., may have a limited 306 input or output wavelength ranges. Additionally, due to the 307 structure of the optical system not all wavelengths can necessarily 308 reach or leave all the resources. These properties are described by 309 using one or more resource wavelength restrictions fields as defined 310 below: 312 0 1 2 3 313 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 1 314 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 315 |I|O|B| Reserved | 316 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 317 | RB Set Field | 318 : : 319 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 320 | Input Wavelength Constraints | 321 : : 322 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 323 | Output Wavelength Constraints | 324 : : 325 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 327 I = 1 or 0 indicates the presence or absence of the Input Wavelength 328 Constraints Field. 330 O = 1 or 0 indicates the presence or absence of the Output 331 Wavelength Constraints Field. 333 B = 1 indicates that a single wavelength constraints field 334 represents both Input and Output Wavelength Constraints Fields. 336 Currently the only valid combinations of (I,O,B) are (1,0,0), 337 (0,1,0), (1,1,0), (0,0,1). 339 RB Set Field: 341 A set of resource blocks (RBs) which have the same wavelength 342 restrictions. 344 Input Wavelength Constraints Field: 346 Indicates the wavelength input restrictions of the RBs in the 347 corresponding RB set. This field is encoded via the Label Set field 348 of [Gen-Encode]. 350 Output Wavelength Constraints Field: 352 Indicates the wavelength output restrictions of RBs in the 353 corresponding RB set. This field is encoded via the Label Set field 354 of [Gen-Encode]. 356 3.3. Resource Block Pool State (RBPoolState) Field 358 The state of the pool is given by the number of resources available 359 with particular characteristics. A resource block set is used to 360 encode all or a subset of the resources of interest. The usage state 361 of resources within a resource block set is encoded as either a list 362 of 16 bit integer values or a bit map indicating whether a single 363 resource is available or in use. The bit map encoding is appropriate 364 when resource blocks consist of a single resource. This information 365 can be relatively dynamic, i.e., can change when a connection (LSP 366 is established or torn down. 368 0 1 2 3 369 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 1 370 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 371 | Action | Reserved | 372 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 373 | RB Set Field | 374 : : 375 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 376 | RB Usage state | 377 : : 378 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 380 Where Action = 0 denotes a list of 16 bit integers and Action = 1 381 denotes a bit map. In both cases the elements of the RB Set field 382 are in a one-to-one correspondence with the values in the usage RB 383 usage state area. 385 0 1 2 3 386 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 1 387 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 388 | Action = 0 | Reserved | 389 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 390 | RB Set Field | 391 : : 392 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 393 | RB#1 state | RB#2 state | 394 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 395 : : 396 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 397 | RB#n-1 state | RB#n state or Padding | 398 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 400 RB#i State (16 bits, unsigned integer): indicates Resource Block #i 401 is in use or available. 403 Whether the last 16 bits is a wavelength converter (RB) state or 404 padding is determined by the number of elements in the RB set field. 406 0 1 2 3 407 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 1 408 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 409 | Action = 1 | Reserved | 410 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 411 | RB Set Field | 412 : : 413 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 414 | RB Usage state bitmap | 415 : : 416 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 417 | ...... | Padding bits | 418 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 420 RB Usage state: Variable Length but must be a multiple of 4 byes. 422 Each bit indicates the usage status of one RB with 0 indicating the 423 RB is available and 1 indicating the RB is in used. The sequence of 424 the bit map is ordered according to the RB Set field with this 425 element. 427 Padding bits: Variable Length 429 3.4. Resource Block Shared Access Wavelength Availability 430 (RBSharedAccessWaveAvailability) Field 432 Resources blocks may be accessed via a shared fiber. If this is the 433 case, then wavelength availability on these shared fibers is needed 434 to understand resource availability. 436 0 1 2 3 437 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 1 438 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 439 |I|O| Reserved | 440 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 441 | RB Set Field | 442 : : 443 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 444 | Input Available Wavelength Set Field | 445 : (Optional) : 446 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 447 | Output Available Wavelength Set Field | 448 : (Optional) : 449 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 451 I bit: 453 Indicates whether the input available wavelength set field is 454 included (1) or not (0). 456 O bit: 458 Indicates whether the output available wavelength set field is 459 included (1) or not (0). 461 RB Set Field: 463 A Resource Block set in which all the members share the same input 464 or output fiber or both. 466 Input Available Wavelength Set Field: 468 Indicates the wavelengths currently available (not being used) on 469 the input fiber to this resource block. This field is encoded via 470 the Label Set field of [Gen-Encode]. 472 Output Available Wavelength Set Field: 474 Indicates the wavelengths currently available (not being used) on 475 the output fiber from this resource block. This field is encoded via 476 the Label Set field of [Gen-Encode]. 478 4. Resource Block Information (ResourceBlockInfo) Field 480 As defined in [RWA-Info], the Resource Block Information 481 field is used to represent resource signal 482 constraints and processing capabilities of a node. 484 The fundamental properties of a resource block are: 486 (a) Optical Interface Class List(s) 487 (b) Acceptable Client Signal (shared input, modulation, FEC, bit 488 rate, G-PID) 489 (c) Input Bit Rate 490 (d) Processing Capabilities (number of resources in a block, 491 regeneration, performance monitoring, vendor specific) 493 ResourceBlockInfo fields are used to convey relatively static 494 information about individual resource blocks including the resource 495 block properties and the number of resources in a block. 497 When more than one ResourceBlockInfo field is used, there are no 498 ordering requirements amongst these fields. 500 This ResourceBlockInfo field has the following format: 502 0 1 2 3 503 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 1 504 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 505 | RB Set Field | 506 : : 507 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 508 |I|O| Reserved | 509 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 510 | Optional subfield 1 | 511 : ... : 512 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 513 : : : 514 : : : 515 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 516 | Optional subfield N | 517 : : 518 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 520 RB Set Field is described in Section 2.1. 522 The shared input or output indication is indicated by the first bit 523 (I) and the second bit (O): 525 where I and O are set to 1 if the resource blocks identified in the 526 RB set field utilized a shared fiber for input/output access and set 527 to 0 otherwise. 529 Zero or more Optional subfields MAY be present. Optional subfields 530 have following format: 532 0 1 2 3 533 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 1 534 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 535 | Type | Length | 536 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 537 | Value... | 538 . . 539 . . 540 . . 541 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 543 The Length field defines the length of the value portion in bytes 544 (thus a subfield with no value portion would have a length of zero). 545 The subfield is padded to four-byte alignment; padding is not 546 included in the Length field (so a three byte value would have a 547 length of three, but the total size of the subfield would be eight 548 byte).

Security Considerations 1035 This document defines protocol-independent encodings for WSON 1036 information and does not introduce any security issues. 1038 However, other documents that make use of these encodings within 1039 protocol extensions need to consider the issues and risks associated 1040 with, inspection, interception, modification, or spoofing of any of 1041 this information. It is expected that any such documents will 1042 describe the necessary security measures to provide adequate 1043 protection. A general discussion on security in GMPLS networks can 1044 be found in [RFC5920]. 1046 6. IANA Considerations 1048 This document introduces a new registry for GMPLS routing parameters 1049 for WSON encoding. This new IANA registry will be created to make 1050 the assignment of a new type and new values for the new "GMPLS 1051 Routing Parameters for WSON." 1053 6.1. Types for subfields of WSON Resource Block Information 1055 Under this new GMPLS Routing Parameters for WSON, a new IANA 1056 registry will be created for nested subfields of the Resource Block 1057 Information field to create a new section named "Types for subfields 1058 of WSON Resource Block Information" and allocate new values as 1059 follows: 1061 Value Length Sub-TLV Type Reference 1063 0 Reserved 1064 1 variable Optical Interface Class List [This.I-D] 1065 2 variable Acceptable Client 1066 Signal List [This.I-D] 1067 3 variable Input Bit Rate List [This.I-D] 1068 4 variable Processing Capability List [This.I-D] 1069 5-65535 Unassigned 1071 Types are to be assigned via Standards Action as defined in 1072 [RFC5226]. 1074 7.

An OEO Switch with DWDM Optics 1193 Figure 2 shows an electronic switch fabric surrounded by DWDM 1194 optics. In this example the electronic fabric can handle either 1195 G.709 or SDH signals only (2.5 or 10 Gbps). To describe this node, 1196 the following information is needed: 1198 ::= [Other GMPLS info- 1199 elements][...] [][] 1201 In this case there is complete port to port connectivity so the 1202 is not required. In addition since there are 1203 sufficient ports to handle all wavelength signals the 1204 element is not needed. 1206 Hence the attention will be focused on the field: 1208 ::= 1209 [...][. 1210 ..] 1211 /| +-----------+ +-------------+ +------+ 1212 /D+--->| +--->|Tunable Laser|-->| | 1213 + e+--->| | +-------------+ | C | 1214 ========>| M| | | ... | o |=======> 1215 Port I1 + u+--->| | +-------------+ | m | Port O1 1216 \x+--->| |--->|Tunable Laser|-->| b | 1217 \| | Electric | +-------------+ +------+ 1218 | Switch | 1219 /| | | +-------------+ +------+ 1220 /D+--->| +--->|Tunable Laser|-->| | 1221 + e+--->| | +-------------+ | C | 1222 ========>| M| | | ... | o |=======> 1223 Port I2 + u+--->| | +-------------+ | m | Port O2 1224 \x+--->| +--->|Tunable Laser|-->| b | 1225 \| | | +-------------+ +------+ 1226 | | 1227 /| | | +-------------+ +------+ 1228 /D+--->| |--->|Tunable Laser|-->| | 1229 + e+--->| | +-------------+ | C | 1230 ========>| M| | | ... | o |=======> 1231 Port I3 + u+--->| | +-------------+ | m | Port O3 1232 \x+--->| |--->|Tunable Laser|-->| b | 1233 \| +-----------+ +-------------+ +------+ 1235 Figure 2 An optical switch built around an electronic switching 1236 fabric. 1238 The resource block information will tell us about the processing 1239 constraints of the receivers, transmitters and the electronic 1240 switch.
