       Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information Encoding for
                  Wavelength Switched Optical Networks

Abstract

   A Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) requires certain key
   information fields be made available to facilitate path computation
   and the establishment of Label Switched Paths (LSPs).  The
   information model described in "Routing and Wavelength Assignment
   Information Model for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks" (RFC
   7446) shows what information is required at specific points in the
   WSON.  Part of the WSON information model contains aspects that may
   be of general applicability to other technologies, while other parts
   are specific to WSONs.

   This document provides efficient, protocol-agnostic encodings for the
   WSON-specific information fields.  It is intended that protocol-
   specific documents will reference this memo to describe how
   information is carried for specific uses.  Such encodings can be used
   to extend GMPLS signaling and routing protocols.  In addition, these
   encodings could be used by other mechanisms to convey this same
   information to a Path Computation Element (PCE).
