Abstract

Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in data traffic, driven primarily by the explosive growth of the Internet. Optical networking is believed as a key solution to keep up with the growth, thus, the most pressing issue is how to manage and control large optical networks. Currently, provisioning end-to-end connections across the transport network has involved the network operator, leading to long provisioning times in an era when customers are demanding shorter provisioning time. To address this critical issue, new control intelligence is being studied for use within optical networks to shorten provisioning time. Both the IETF and the ITU-T have been aggressively defining many aspects of a control plane for the next generation convergence transport network. Basically, they are based on the distributed control scheme. In this Paper, we suey the applicability of the centralized control scheme for the provisioning control of optical transport network to utilize its inherent advantages over the distributed control scheme. We discuss new central control architecture, and control procedure. Also, we examine the applicability of the existing IETF routing and signaling protocols to the new control concepts, and then, we propose the additional routing and signaling information elements.

폭발적으로 증가하는 데이터 트래픽을 수용하기 위해 광 전송망이 핵심적인 해결책으로 부각되고 있으며, 대규모의 광 전달망에서 사용자가 원하는 대역폭의 단대단 연결을 실시간 수준으로 제공하기 위한 제어구조 관련 연구가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해, IETF와 ITU-T에서는 차세대 통합 전달망의 연결 제공 시간을 단축시키기 위한 제어 평면에 대한 연구를 의욕적으로 진행하고 있으며, 그러한 연구들은 기본적으로 분산형 제어체계에 기반하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 집중형 제어 체계가 분산형에 비해 가지고 있는 고유한 장점들을 광 전달망 상에 활용하기 위한 연구로서, 광 전달망의 연결 제어에 대한 집중형 제어 체계의 적용 가능성을 조사하고, 새로운 제어 구조의 형태와 제어 절차를 제안하였다. 또한 제안한 구조에 대한 IETF의 기존 라우팅 프로토콜과 시그널링 프로토콜의 활용 가능성을 검토하고 필요한 보완 부분에 대해 제시하였다.
