Link Management Protocol Extensions for Grid Property Negotiation
Yao Li, Guoying Zhang, Yu Wang, Qilei Wang, Ramon Casellas · 2016
ITU-T [G.694.1] introduces the flexible-grid DWDM technique, which provides a new tool that operators can implement to provide a higher degree of network optimization than is possible with fixed-grid systems. This document describes the extensions to the Link Management Protocol (LMP) to negotiate link grid property between the adjacent DWDM nodes before the link is brought up.
