ITU-T Q14/15 - Optical Control Plane Routing  Q.14/15 thanks IETF CCAMP WG (ASON Routing Requirements Design Team) for their efforts to understand and capture ASON Routing Requirements. – Q.14/15 supports extending this to the application of routing protocols to support the ASON requirements. –Q.14/15 is analyzing existing routing protocols such as OSPF, IS-IS and PNNI for their use in ASON Work with the associated bodies to understand the possible implications on the routing protocols. –Created a routing template to support this work –Template contains extracts of ASON documents containing requirements on routing protocols.

ITU-T Q14/15 - Optical Control Plane Routing/Signaling  Q.14/15 suggests that a cross-body design team may be created to investigate use of IETF routing protocols for ASON. –Similar to the team created to capture ASON Routing Requirements –Special attention may need to be focused on the following: Identification of SNPP endpoints in link advertisement Advertisement of endpoint reachability Advertisement of available connections at a particular signal type Distinguishing information received from another level in a routing hierarchy  Q.14/15 would also like to note for IETF the recent completion of the following ITU-T work: –Approval of ITU-T Recommendation G on Link State Routing Protocol Requirements for ASON –Consent of an amendment to ITU-T Recommendation G.7713 on Distributed Call/Connection Management

Next Q.14/15 meeting  An interregnum meeting of Q.14/15 has been planned for 1 – 5 November 2004, located in Berlin, Germany. –Rapporteur for Q.14/15 invites the participation of the CCAMP WG in related discussions. –Details of the agenda will be provided prior to the meeting. –Interested in further information and/or attending the interregnum meeting contact the Rapporteur for Q.14/15 (H. Kam Lam, by 24 September –Any contributions directed to the meeting must be submitted by 25 October 2004.
