Dear ccampers,

                Last week we submitted a new draft entitled "Framework for GMPLS and path computation support of sub-wavelength switching optical networks".
                You can find it in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gonzalezdedios-subwavelength-framework-00 We aim to present it at the ccamp WG meeting in Prague.

This document discusses the framework for enhancements to the GMPLS architecture to control sub-wavelength switching optical networks.  Sub-wavelengths refer to the time-shared utilization of a single wavelength by optical bursts, packets or slots.

     Sub-wavelength technologies are the base of new cost-effective network architectures.  In particular, they are suited for metro areas, to   cope with high traffic volumes as well as more demanding   requirements of networked applications.

Please consider taking a look at the document and giving us feedback on it. We believe now it is the time when sub-wavelength technologies are in the point of starting to be mature, with commercial products (e.g. Intune networks), and plans in the major vendors . We would like to know your opinion, and if it is the right time to start building a framework for these technologies. Our first approach is that, as these technologies have a common base (sharing the wavelengths in bursts, packets or slots), but the data plane implementations are now vendor specific, we should define a common control plane for them.

We also extend the invitation to collaborate in the topic to all people interested.

Best Regards and thanks in advance,

                Óscar
