In this paper, we propose a new signaling protocol as an extension of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) based PCE protocol for control carrier ethernet. The proposed protocol is not only compatible with the GMPLS PCE standard protocol, but also provides the topology discovery and configuration. In order to verify interoperability, we implement the proposed protocol as well as the system integrating functions including commercial system for testbed. In addition, we have simulated topology discovery test for proposed protocol performance.

This paper reviews the existing research activities on signaling and control procedures for IP over optical networks. We focus on the IP-centric signaling and control architecture based on the generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) protocol and analyze various scenarios and technical issues for deploying the IP over an optical network. We analyze the signaling and operations and administration and maintenance requirements for integrating an IP network and an optical network in order to cope with the high bandwidth and poor resource granularity of the optical network, including the optical cross-connect system. On the basis of network architecture and a reference configuration model, we investigate the GMPLS-based control architecture and interconnection model appropriate for controlling IP bandwidth and optical lambda resources. The signaling and control procedure based on GMPLS on optical user-network interface and network-network interface are comparatively investigated to provide the optical lightpath. We also study protection and restoration procedures to protect link failure when it applies to generalized MPLS signaling.

Network is expected to be developed into optical Internet network collected IP layer and optical layer, but GMPLS is risen at the transitional evolution stage because of the present technology level. GMPLS that MPLS is extended and generalized is able to support not only the packet switching device but also the devices which perform switching in time, wavelength, and space domain. To implement the common control plane to these various switching types, GMPLS extends the existing MPLS signaling and routing protocol. In this paper, we describe the overview of GMPLS technology, and then we will refer to the OSPF(Open Shortest Path First), which was used to exchange the status information of link, as the plan of routing extension to exchange the information of various link type, bandwidth, link protection type etc. And also, we describe the definition of new protocol, so called, LMP that is a signaling protocol for solving complex problem which manages hundreds and thousands of links between two nodes. And we will examine and analyze the plan of signaling protocol extension to apply signaling protocol RSVP-TE(Resource Reservation Protocol) for traffic engineering in MPLS to network, and the message objects and formats associated with modified RSVP.

ETF made the RFCs of MPLS technologies for providing the QoS of ATM or Frame Relay and the flexibility&scalability of IP on the Internet services. IETF has been expanding MPLS technologies as a common control component for supporting the various switching technologies called GMPLS. Also, IETF has standardized the signaling protocols based on such technologies, such as LDP, CR-LDP and RSVP-TE. ETRI developed the MPLS system based on ATM switch in order to provide more reliable services, differentiated services and value-added services like the VPN and traffic engineering service on the Korea Public Sector network. We are planning on deploying model services and commercial services on that network. This paper explains the basic functions of LDP, design and development of LDP on our system, and compares with LDP development and operation on other MPLS systems made by Cisco, Juniper, Nortel and Riverstone. In conclusion, this paper deduces the future services and applications by LDP through these explanation and comparison.

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.

IP망을 활용한 VPN(Virtual Private Network)에서의 QoS 보장 및 광대역 서비스 제공에 대한 해결 방안으로 차세대 광 인터넷을 통한 OVPN(Optical VPN) 기술이 제시되고 있다. 차세대 광 인터넷의 구현이 IP/GMPLS(Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching) over DWDM(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 프로토콜 프레임워크로 표준화되고 있는 현실에 비추어 볼 때 IP/GMPLS over DWDM 백본망을 통한 OVPN은 차세대 가상사설망으로써 멀티미디어 서비스 제공을 위한 최적의 방안이다. 이러한 멀티미디어 서비스 제공을 위한 OVPN에서는 최적의 Optical-LSP(Label Switched Path)의 설립이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차세대 OVPN의 모델 및 망의 blocking probability를 향상하기 위한 미래의 잠재적인 연결 요구에 대해 간섭을 최소화하면서 경로를 설정하는 MW-MIPR 라우팅 알고리즘을 제시하고 이를 라우팅 프로토콜인 OSPF-TE+(OSPF Extensions in Support of Generalized MPLS)에 맵핑하기 위한 방안을 제안한다.
