IP Centric Control Plane forSurvivable WDM Mesh Networks

Overlay Model with a Distributed Architecture

Shared Path Protection with Differentiated Reliability

Graphical User Interface

The hardware is emulated

5 Linux PC’s act as controllers, run the software

7 Fast Ethernet links to form a Mesh Topology

An electronic crossbar switch emulates a crossconnect and is controlled by a device driver

A delay element provides a configurable delay on the ethernet links with a maximum delay of 7.9ms

A Resource Reservation protocol responsible for dynamic end-end lightpath setup and release

Incoming connection requests enter any node, which is then designated as the owner of that connection

The owner node runs the RWA, based on Shortest Path routing and Least Loaded Wavelength assignment, to find the working and protection paths

The owner node first sets up the working path andthen reserves resources for the protection pathIt initiates the Reservation procedure by sending a LIGHTPATH_CREATE_TRY to the source nodeEach node in the path switches the ports of the OXC, and forwards the message to the next node in sequence.

In case of a failure, the node sends a LIGHTPATH_CREATE_FAIL to the previous node in sequence and this message propagates all the way back to the owner node.

In case of a success on all the nodes in the path, the destination node sends a SUCCESS message to the source node

The source node floods the SUCCESS message

Link Management Protocol (LMP) runs between adjacent nodes of every link

Each node sends HELLO messages every 5 ms

Failure is defined as the loss of 4 consecutive HELLO messages(20 ms)

Recovery is defined as the reception of 100 consecutive HELLO messages(500 ms)
