The increasing demand for fast, flexible and guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) in core networks has caused to deploy MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) control plane. In GMPLS control plane, path computation and cooperation processes are one of the crucial element to maintain an acceptable level of service. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has proposed the Path Computation Element (PCE) architecture. The PCE is a dedicated network element devoted to path computation process and communications between Path Computation Clients (PCC) and PCEs is realized through the PCE Protocol (PCEP). This paper examines the PCE-based path computation architecture to include the design and implementation of PCEP. The functional modules including Finite State Machine (FSM) and related key design issues of each state are presented. In particular we also discuss internal/external protocol interfaces that efficiently control the communication channels.

Increase of internet users and new types of applied traffics, have led to demand for more bandwidth for each application. Hence, the amount of internet traffic has risen sharply and it has demanded to use limited resources, such as wavelength and bandwidth, more effectively. These kind of needs can be satisfied with OXC(Optical cross-connects) based on GMPLS that carry out IP packet switching and wavelength switching at the same time and Provide very wide bandwidth. In RSVP-TE signaling of GMPLS studied by IETF. every lambda router in core network should be able to convert wavelength. So, lots of wavelength converters and needed and building and managing cost is high. Another problem is that optimized traffic is limited. In this paper We suggest strengthened GMPLS RSVP-TE signaling algorithm for a better lightpath setup. When setup signaling is blocked suggested algorithm does not send PathErr message to Edge Router, but looks for nearest lambda router which can convert wavelength and carry out setup signaling from that node. Such algorithm can reduce the chance of blocked lightpath setup signaling and provide effective arrangement of lambda router in core network by calculating proper number of wavelength converter.

A new online multi-layer integrated routing (MLIR) scheme that combines IP (electrical) layer routing with WDM (optical) layer routing is investigated. It is a highly efficient and cost-effective routing scheme viable for the next generation integrated optical Internet. A new simplified weighted graph model for the integrated optical Internet consisted of optical routers with multi-granularity optical-electrical hybrid switching capability is firstly proposed. Then, based on the proposed graph model, we develop an online integrated routing scheme called differentiated weighted fair algorithm (DWFA) employing adaptive admission control (routing) strategies with the motivation of service/bandwidth differentiation, which can jointly solve multi-layer routing problem by simply applying the minimal weighted path computation algorithm. The major objective of DWFA is fourfold: 1) Quality of service (QoS) routing for traffic requests with various priorities; 2) blocking fairness for traffic requests with various bandwidth granularities; 3) adaptive routing according to the policy parameters from service provider; 4) lower computational complexity. Simulation results show that DWFA performs better than traditional overlay routing schemes such as optical-first-routing (OFR) and electrical-first-routing (EFR), in terms of traffic blocking ratio, traffic blocking fairness, average traffic logical hop counts, and global network resource utilization. It has been proved that the DWFA is a simple, comprehensive, and practical scheme of integrated routing in optical Internet for service providers.
