As an increase in recent optical network-based IP services, GMPLS management framework becomes more important than ever before. In this paper, we propose the dynamic GMPLS path management algorithm, which can satisfy the users with their traffic engineering recovery requirements and find out the best backup service path under multiple link failures. To be more specific, we are deriving the soluble conditions of a backup path which is satisfied in a GMPLS network. In addition, through proposing the fast backup path selection algorithm, we can sufficiently satisfy a user's recovery requirement and minimally protect the suspension of the service against a link failure.

In this paper, we present the general interface, label-switched path structure and link bundling in GMPLS to improve the scalability. The LMP protocol is also introduced to efficiently manage the internal link, and the signaling protocol, hierarchical path setup, hi-directional LSP setup and suggested label method are presented. Finally, the techniques of protection and restoration are presented. In specific, various applicable restoration techniques in GMPLS are discussed.

This paper proposes two types of sub-network based on dynamic restoration schemes to improve survivability of GMPLS networks and analyzes characteristics of these two schemes. The first proposed scheme divides with a whole GMPLS network into several sub-networks, applies a mixture of both restoration and protection methods according to fault location. The other scheme divides a whole GMPLS network into primary and secondary sub-networks, applies a restoration method in each sub-network according to fault location. In our simulation, we evaluate the performances of network resource utilization, restoration success rate, and mean restoration time and conduct its comparative analysis with conventional schemes. The simulation results show that the efficiency of network resource utilization in the proposed schemes is increased as compared with conventional restoration schemes (l＋l, 1:1, 1:N) in case of single-failed link. By contrast, we found that the performances of restoration success rate and mean restoration time in case of multi-failed link is lower than conventional restoration schemes. However, the probability that multi-failed link is occurred is very low so that the problem in practical GMPLS network is negligible.

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.

A 'VPN over Intemet' has the benefit of being cost-effective and flexible. However, it has difficulties providing sufficient QoS and adequate transmission capacity for high bandwidth service. Given the increasing demand for high bandwidth Internet and QoS assurances in a 'VPN over Internet', IP/GMPLS based on a control plane combined with a high bandwidth, DWDM optical network is seen as a very favorable anroach for realizing the future 'OVPN over IP/GMPLS over DWDM'. Within this architecture, providing QoS guaranteed multimedia services with a differentiated QoS guaranteed protocol framework with QoS recovery is one of the key issues to implement. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest the entire interoperability procedure of control protocols based on differentiated optical QoS service (DOQOS) classes for providing end-to-end QoS in an 'OVPN over IP/GMPLS over DWDM' architecture.

The advantages of "VPN over Internet" are cost-effectiveness and flexibility However, the disadvantages are the lack of sufficient QoS mechanism and transmission capacity for high bandwidth service. Given this increasing demand for high bandwidth Internet and QoS assurances in "PN over Internet", IP/GMPLS based control plane combined with a high bandwidth capacity of DWDM optical network is seen as a very favorable approach for the realization of future "OVPN over IP/GMPLS over DWDM" Within OVPN for providing QoS guaranteed multimedia service over the NGOI(Next Generation Optical Internet) based on the "IP/GMPLS over DWDM" concept, differentiated QoS framework is one of the key issues to implement OVPN over DWDM-based NGOI. Keeping in mind that IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) and ITU-T(International Telecommunication Union) are standardizing IP/GMPLS over DWDM protocol framework as a solution for the NGOI, in this paper, we suggest Optical-LSP establishment and QoS maintenance scheme based on DOQS(Differentiated Optical QoS Service) classes, which are the key issue of DOQS protocol framework for assuring end-to-end QoS in "OVPN over IP/GMPLS over DWDM".

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.

As the internet traffic type and size have bun diversified in recent years, the GMPLS-based distributed control and management protocol have surfaced as a serious issue for dynamic optical lightpath setup. In this reason, we investigated and analyzed network performance and protocols using global information-based link state approach and local information based link state approach. We calculated connection setup time, required control bandwidth and setup blocking probability that made from network update period and threshold metrics according to traffic arrival rate. The evaluated results will be used in broadband network and adopted for high speed network in the future widely.

MPLS망 등에 적용되는 경로 수준의 복구에는 일반적으로 1+1, 1:1, 1:N등의 방법이 제안되었다. 하지만, 이 방법들은 복구 경로 설정 시 모두 자원의 낭비를 초래하며 GMPLS망에 적용 시에도 같은 문제점을 야기한다. 본 논문은 Kini[1]등이 MPLS망에 적용했던 메커니즘의 문제점인 망 자원의 낭비를 최소화하는 동시에 GMPLS망에 적용 가능한 효율적인 경로 복구 방안을 제안한다. 본 메커니즘은 작업 경로 설정 시 복구 경로에 대한 계산은 수행하지만 자원 할당을 장애가 발생할 때까지 연기함으로써 자원의 활용성은 최대화하는 동시에 실제 장애가 발생했을 경우 신속한 자원할당이 가능하도록, CR-LDP[2] Label Request 메시지 전송 시 복구 경로상의 자원을 예약하는 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 CR-LDP를 확장한다.

오늘날 MPLS 망에서의 제어 부분(control plane)을 다양한 장치의 스위칭(switching)과 포워딩(forwarding) 기술 및 계층을 포함할 수 있도록 확장하기 위해서 IETF에서 GMPLS 망이 제안되고 있다. 그리고 망은 보호(protection)와 복구(restoration)를 통해서 망의 생존성(survivability)을 지원해야만 한다. 망은 어떤 장애에서도 서비스가 제공될 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문은 Kini에 의해서 제안된[5] MPLS망에서 망의 장애 시에 망의 생존성과 효율성을 고려해서 복구하기 위해서, 백업 패스(Backup Path)를 설정하는 방법을 GMPLS에서 적용하려고 한다. 즉, GMPLS 망에서 망에 장애가 발생했을 때 효율적으로 복구하기 위해서, RSVF-TE(resource Reservation Protocol with Traffic Engineering)를 이용해서 백업 패스를 잡는다.
