1.  Introduction

   With the evolution and deployment of Optical Transport Network (OTN)
   technology, it is necessary that appropriate enhanced control
   technology support be provided for [G709-2012].

   [OTN-FWK]

   [RFC7062] provides a framework to allow the development of protocol
   extensions to support GMPLS and Path Computation Element (PCE)
   control of OTN as specified in [G709-2012].  Based on this framework,
   [OTN-INFO]
   [RFC7096] evaluates the information needed by the routing and
   signaling process in OTNs to support GMPLS control of OTN.

   [RFC4328] describes the control technology details that are specific
   to the 2001 revision of the G.709 specification.  This document
   updates the ODU-related portions of [RFC4328] to provide Resource
   ReserVation Protocol-Traffic
   Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) extensions to
   support of control for [G709-2012].

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

3.  GMPLS Extensions for the Evolving G.709 - -- Overview

   New features for the evolving OTN, for example, new ODU0, ODU2e, ODU4
   ODU4, and ODUflex containers containers, are specified in [G709-2012].  The
   corresponding new Signal Types are summarized below:

   -  Optical Channel channel Transport Unit (OTUk):
         .
      o  OTU4

   -  Optical Channel channel Data Unit (ODUk):
         .
      o  ODU0
         .
      o  ODU2e
         .
      o  ODU4
         .
      o  ODUflex

   A new Tributary Slot tributary slot granularity (i.e., 1.25Gbps) 1.25 Gbps) is also described
   in [G709-2012].  Thus, there are now two Tributary Slot tributary slot (TS)
   granularities for the foundation OTN ODU1, ODU2 ODU2, and ODU3 containers.
   The TS granularity at 2.5Gbps 2.5 Gbps is used on the legacy interfaces while
   the new 1.25Gbps 1.25 Gbps is used on the new interfaces.

   In addition to the support of ODUk mapping into OTUk (k = 1, 2, 3,
   4), [G709-2012] encompasses the multiplexing of ODUj (j = 0, 1, 2,
   2e, 3, flex) into an ODUk (k > j), as described in Section 3.1.2 of
   [OTN-FWK].
   [RFC7062].

   Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) of Optical channel Payload Unit-k (OPUk)
   (OPUk-Xv, k = 1/2/3, X = 1...256) is also supported by [G709-2012].
   Note that VCAT of OPU0 / OPU2e / OPU4 / OPUflex is not supported per
   [G709-2012].

   [RFC4328] describes GMPLS signaling extensions to support the control
   for the 2001 revision of the G.709 specification.  However, [RFC4328] [RFC7096]
   does not provide the means to signal all the new Signal Types and
   related mapping and multiplexing functionalities.  Moreover, it
   supports only the deprecated auto- Multiframe auto-MSI (Multiframe Structure Identifier
   (MSI) mode
   Identifier) mode, which assumes that the Tributary Port Number (TPN)
   is automatically assigned in the transmit direction and not checked
   in the receive direction.

   This document extends the G.709 Traffic Parameters described in
   [RFC4328] and presents a new flexible and scalable OTN-TDM
   Generalized Label format.  (Here, TDM refers to Time-Division
   Multiplexing.)  Additionally, procedures about Tributary Port Number
   assignment through the control plane are also provided in this
   document.

4.  Generalized Label Request

   The GENERALIZED_LABEL_REQUEST object, as described in [RFC3471],
   carries the Label Switched Path (LSP) Encoding Type, the Switching
   Type
   Type, and the Generalized Protocol Identifier (G-PID).

   [RFC4328] extends the GENERALIZED_LABEL_REQUEST object, introducing
   two new code-points for the LSP Encoding Type (i.e., G.709 ODUk
   (Digital Path) and G.709 Optical Channel) and adding a list of G-PID
   values in order to accommodate the 2001 revision of the G.709
   specification.

   This document follows these extensions and introduces a new Switching
   Type is
   introduced to indicate the ODUk switching capability Switching Capability [G709-2012] in order
   to support backward compatibility with [RFC4328], as described in [OTN-FWK].
   [RFC7062].  The new Switching Type (OTN-TDM Switching Type) is
   defined in [OTN-OSPF]. [RFC7138].

   This document also updates the G-PID values defined in [RFC4328]:

   Value    G-PID Type
   -----    ----------

   47       Type field updated from "G.709 ODUj" to "ODU-2.5G" to
            indicate transport of Digital Paths (e.g., at 2.5, 10 10, and
            40Gbps)
            40 Gbps) via 2.5Gbps 2.5 Gbps TS granularity.

   56       Type field updated from "ESCON" to "SBCON/ESCON" to align
            with [G709-2012] payload type 0x1A.

   Note: Value 47 includes mapping of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
   (SDH).

   In the case of ODU multiplexing, the Lower Order ODU (LO ODU) (i.e.,
   the client signal) may be multiplexed into a Higher Order ODU (HO
   ODU) via 1.25G TS granularity, 2.5G TS granularity granularity, or ODU-any defined
   below. ODU-any.
   Since the G-PID type "ODUk" defined in [RFC4328] is only used for 2.5Gbps 2.5
   Gbps TS granularity, two new G-PID types are defined as follows:

   -  ODU-1.25G:  Transport of Digital Paths at 1.25, 2.5, 10, 40 40, and
                  100 Gbps via 1.25Gbps 1.25 Gbps TS granularity.

   -  ODU-any:    Transport of Digital Paths at 1.25, 2.5, 10, 40 40, and
                  100 Gbps via 1.25 or 2.5Gbps 2.5 Gbps TS granularity (i.e.,
                  the fallback procedure is enabled and the default
                  value of
                 1.25Gbps 1.25 Gbps TS granularity can be fallen fall back to 2.5Gbps 2.5
                  Gbps if needed).

   The full list of payload types defined in [G709-2012] and their
   mapping to existing and new G-PID types are as follows:

   Table 7-10 of [G709-2012], so it does not there is no need to carry mapping type
   information in the signaling.

   Note also that additional information on G.709 client mapping can be
   found in [G7041].

5.  Extensions for Traffic Parameters for the Evolving G.709 OTNs

   The Traffic Parameters for OTN-TDM capable the OTN-TDM-capable Switching Type are
   carried in the OTN-TDM SENDER_TSPEC object in the Path message and
   the OTN-
   TDM OTN-TDM FLOWSPEC object in the Resv message.  The objects have
   the following class and type:

   -  OTN-TDM SENDER_TSPEC object: Class = 12, C-Type = 7 (TBA)
   -  OTN-TDM FLOWSPEC object: Class = 9, C-Type = 7 (TBA)

   The format of Traffic Parameters in these two objects is defined as
   follows:

    0                   1                   2                   3

   Note: Above, CBR stands for Constant Bit Rate, and GFP-F stands for
   Generic Framing Procedure - Framed.

   NVC (Number of Virtual Components): 16 bits

      As defined in [RFC4328] Section 3.2.3. 3.2.3 of [RFC4328].  This field MUST be set
      to 0 for ODUflex Signal Types.

   Multiplier (MT): 16 bits

      As defined in [RFC4328] Section 3.2.4. 3.2.4 of [RFC4328].  This field MUST be set
      to 1 for ODUflex Signal Types.

   Bit_Rate: 32 bits

      In the case of ODUflex ODUflex, including ODUflex(CBR) and ODUflex(GFP)
      Signal Types, this field indicates the nominal bit rate of ODUflex
      expressed in bytes per second, encoded as a 32-bit IEEE single-
      precision floating-point number (referring to [RFC4506] and
      [IEEE]).  For other Signal Types, this field MUST be set to zero
      on transmission and transmission, MUST be ignored on receipt receipt, and SHOULD be passed
      unmodified by transit nodes.

5.1.  Usage of ODUflex(CBR) Traffic Parameters

   In the case of ODUflex(CBR), the information of Bit_Rate information carried in the
   ODUflex Traffic Parameters MUST be used to determine the actual
   bandwidth of ODUflex(CBR) (i.e., Bit_Rate * (1 +/- Tolerance)).
   Therefore
   Therefore, the total number of tributary slots N in the HO ODUk link
   can be reserved correctly.  Where:

         N = Ceiling of

   ODUflex(CBR) nominal bit rate * (1 + ODUflex(CBR) bit rate tolerance)
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       ODTUk.ts nominal bit rate * (1 - HO OPUk bit rate tolerance)

   In this formula, the ODUflex(CBR) nominal bit rate is the bit rate of
   the ODUflex(CBR) on the line side, i.e., the client signal bit rate
   after applying the 239/238 factor (according to Clause 7.3, Table 7-2
   of [G709-2012]) and the transcoding factor T (if needed) on the CBR
   client.  According to clauses Clauses 17.7.3, 17.7.4 17.7.4, and 17.7.5 of [G709-
   2012]:
   [G709-2012]:

   ODUflex(CBR) nominal bit rate = CBR client bit rate * (239/238) / T

   The ODTUk.ts (Optical channel Data Tributary Unit k with ts tributary
   slots) nominal bit rate is the nominal bit rate of the tributary slot
   of ODUk, as shown in Table 1 (referring to Table 7-7 of [G709-2012]).

              Table 1 - Actual TS bit rate of ODUk (in Kbps)

      ODUk.ts       Minimum          Nominal          Maximum
      -----------------------------------------------------------
      ODU2.ts    1,249,384.632    1,249,409.620     1,249,434.608
      ODU3.ts    1,254,678.635    1,254,703.729     1,254,728.823
      ODU4.ts    1,301,683.217    1,301,709.251     1,301,735.285

              Table 1: Actual TS Bit Rate of ODUk (in Kbps)

   Note that:

      Minimum bit rate of ODUTk.ts =
         ODTUk.ts nominal bit rate * (1 - HO OPUk bit rate tolerance)

      Maximum bit rate of ODTUk.ts =
         ODTUk.ts nominal bit rate * (1 + HO OPUk bit rate tolerance)

      Where: HO OPUk bit rate tolerance = 20ppm 20 ppm (parts per million)

   Note that the bit rate tolerance is implicit in Signal Type and the
   ODUflex(CBR) bit rate tolerance is fixed and it is equal to 100ppm 100 ppm
   as described in Table 7-2 of [G709-2012].

   Therefore, a node receiving a Path message containing an ODUflex(CBR)
   nominal bit rate can allocate a precise number of tributary slots and
   set up the cross-connection for the ODUflex service.

   Note that for different ODUk, the bit rates of the tributary slots
   are different, and so the total number of tributary slots to be reserved
   for the ODUflex(CBR) may not be the same on different HO ODUk links.

   An example is given below to illustrate the usage of ODUflex(CBR)
   Traffic Parameters.

         =========: TSs occupied by ODUflex
         ---------: available TSs

       Figure 1 - 1: Example of ODUflex(CBR) Traffic Parameters
   As shown in Figure 1, assume there is an ODUflex(CBR) service
   requesting a bandwidth of 2.5Gbps 2.5 Gbps from node A to node C.

   In other words, the ODUflex Traffic Parameters indicate that Signal
   Type is 20 (ODUflex(CBR)), (ODUflex(CBR)) and Bit_Rate is 2.5Gbps (Note 2.5 Gbps (note that the
   tolerance is not signaled as explained above).

   -  On the HO ODU4 link between node A and B:

      The maximum bit rate of the ODUflex(CBR) equals 2.5Gbps 2.5 Gbps * (1 +
      100ppm),
      100 ppm), and the minimum bit rate of the tributary slot of ODU4
      equals 1,301,683.217 Kbps, so the total number of tributary slots
      N1 to be reserved on this link is:

      N1 = ceiling (2.5Gbps (2.5 Gbps * (1 + 100ppm) 100 ppm) / 1,301,683.217 Kbps) = 2

   -  On the HO ODU2 link between node B and C:

      The maximum bit rate of the ODUflex equals 2.5Gbps 2.5 Gbps * (1 +
      100ppm), 100
      ppm), and the minimum bit rate of the tributary slot of ODU2
      equals 1,249,384.632 Kbps, so the total number of tributary slots
      N2 to be reserved on this link is:

      N2 = ceiling (2.5Gbps (2.5 Gbps * (1 + 100ppm) 100 ppm) / 1,249,384.632 Kbps) = 3

5.2.  Usage of ODUflex(GFP) Traffic Parameters

   [G709-2012] recommends that the ODUflex(GFP) will fill an integral number
   of tributary slots of the smallest HO ODUk path over which the
   ODUflex(GFP) may be carried, as shown in Table 2.

         Table 2 - Recommended ODUflex(GFP) bit rates and tolerance

                 ODU type Type              | Nominal bit-rate Bit Rate | Tolerance
      ---------------------------------+------------------+-----------
      ODUflex(GFP) of n TSs, 1<=n<=8   |   n * ODU2.ts    | +/-100 ppm
      ODUflex(GFP) of n TSs, 9<=n<=32  |   n * ODU3.ts    | +/-100 ppm
      ODUflex(GFP) of n TSs, 33<=n<=80 |   n * ODU4.ts    | +/-100 ppm

         Table 2: Recommended ODUflex(GFP) Bit Rates and Tolerance

   According to this table, the Bit_Rate field for ODUflex(GFP) MUST be
   equal to one of the 80 values listed below:

           1 * ODU2.ts;  2 * ODU2.ts; ...;  8 * ODU2.ts;
           9 * ODU3.ts; 10 * ODU3.ts, ...; 32 * ODU3.ts;
          33 * ODU4.ts; 34 * ODU4.ts; ...; 80 * ODU4.ts.

   In this way, the number of required tributary slots for the
   ODUflex(GFP) (i.e., the value of "n" in Table 2) can be deduced from
   the Bit_Rate field.

5.3.  Notification on Errors of OTN-TDM Traffic Parameters

   There is no Adspec associated with the OTN-TDM SENDER_TSPEC object.
   Either the Adspec is omitted or an Int-serv Adspec with the Default
   General Characterization Parameters and Guaranteed Service fragment
   is used, see [RFC2210]. used (see [RFC2210]).

   For a particular sender in a session, the contents of the OTN-TDM
   FLOWSPEC object received in a Resv message SHOULD be identical to the
   contents of the OTN-TDM SENDER_TSPEC object received in the
   corresponding Path message.  If the objects do not match, a ResvErr
   message with a "Traffic Control Error/Bad Flowspec value" error MUST
   be generated.

   Intermediate and egress nodes MUST verify that the node itself, and
   the interfaces on which the LSP will be established, can support the
   requested Signal Type, NVC NVC, and Bit_Rate values.  If the requested
   value(s) cannot be supported, the receiver node MUST generate a
   PathErr message with a "Traffic Control Error/Service unsupported"
   indication (see [RFC2205]).

   In addition, if the MT field is received with a zero value, the node
   MUST generate a PathErr message with a "Traffic Control Error/Bad
   Tspec value" indication (see [RFC2205]).

   Further, if the Signal Type is not ODU1, ODU2 ODU2, or ODU3, and the NVC
   field is not 0, the node MUST generate a PathErr message with a
   "Traffic Control Error/Bad Tspec value" indication (see [RFC2205]).

6.  Generalized Label

   This section defines the format of the OTN-TDM Generalized Label.

6.1.  OTN-TDM Switching Type Generalized Label

   The following is the GENERALIZED_LABEL object format for that MUST be
   used with the OTN-TDM Switching Type:

     0                   1                   2                   3
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    |         TPN           |   Reserved    |        Length         |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    ~                   Bit Map          ......                     ~
    ~              ......                   |     Padding Bits      ~
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   The OTN-TDM GENERALIZED_LABEL object is used to indicate how the LO
   ODUj signal is multiplexed into the HO ODUk link.  Note that the LO
   OUDj signal type Signal Type is indicated by Traffic Parameters, while the type
   of HO ODUk link is identified by the selected interface carried in
   the IF_ID RSVP_HOP object.

   TPN (12 bits): indicates

   TPN: 12 bits

      Indicates the TPN for the assigned Tributary Slot(s). tributary slot(s).

      -  In the case of an LO ODUj multiplexed into an HO
         ODU1/ODU2/ODU3, only the lower 6 bits of the TPN field are significant and
         significant; the other bits of the TPN field MUST be set to 0.

      -  In the case of an LO ODUj multiplexed into an HO ODU4, only the
         lower 7 bits of the TPN field are significant and significant; the other bits
         of the TPN field MUST be set to 0.

      -  In the case of ODUj mapped into OTUk (j=k), the TPN is not needed
         needed, and this field MUST be set to 0.

      Per [G709-2012], The the TPN is used to allow for correct
      demultiplexing in the data plane.  When an LO ODUj is multiplexed
      into an HO ODUk occupying one or more TSs, a new TPN value is
      configured at the two ends of the HO ODUk link and is put into the
      related MSI byte(s) in the OPUk overhead at the (traffic) ingress
      end of the link, so that the other end of the link can learn which
      TS(s) is/are used by the LO ODUj in the data plane.

      According to [G709-2012], the TPN field MUST be set as according to
      the following tables:

             Table 4: TPN Assignment Rules (1.25 Gbps TS Granularity)

      Note that in the case of "Flexible", the value of TPN MAY not be
   corresponding
      correspond to the TS number as per [G709-2012].

   Length (12 bits): indicates

   Length: 12 bits

      Indicates the number of bits of the Bit Map field, i.e., the total
      number of TS TSs in the HO ODUk link.  The TS granularity,
   1.25Gbps 1.25 Gbps
      or 2.5Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, may be derived by dividing the HO ODUk link's rate by
      the value of the Length field.  In the context of [G709-2012], the
      values of 4 and 16 indicate a TS granularity of 2.5Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and the
      values 2, 8, 32 32, and 80 indicate a TS granularity of 1.25Gbps. 1.25 Gbps.

      In the case of an ODUk mapped into OTUk, there is no need to
      indicate which tributary slots will be used, so the length Length field
      MUST be set to 0.

   Bit Map (variable): indicates Map: variable

      Indicates which tributary slots in the HO ODUk that the LO ODUj
      will be multiplexed into.  The sequence of the Bit Map is
      consistent with the sequence of the tributary slots in the HO
      ODUk.  Each bit in the bit map represents the corresponding
      tributary slot in the HO ODUk with a value of 1 or 0 indicating
      whether the tributary slot will be used by the LO ODUj or not.

   Padding bits are Bits

      Are added after the Bit Map to make the whole label a multiple of
      four bytes if necessary.  Padding bits MUST be set to 0 and MUST
      be ignored on receipt.

6.2.  Procedures

   The ingress node MUST generate a Path message and specify the OTN-TDM
   Switching Type and corresponding G-PID in the
   GENERALIZED_LABEL_REQUEST object, which MUST be processed as defined
   in [RFC3473].

   The ingress node of an LSP MAY include a Label ERO (Explicit Route
   Object) subobject to indicate the label in each hops hop along the path.
   Note that the TPN in the Label ERO subobject need not be assigned by
   the ingress node.  When the TPN is assigned by a node, the node MUST
   assign a valid TPN value and then put this value into the TPN field
   of the GENERALIZED_LABEL object when receiving a Path message.

   In order to create bidirectional LSP, the ingress node and upstream
   node MUST generate an UPSTREAM_LABEL Object object on the outgoing interface
   to indicate the reserved TSs of ODUk and the assigned TPN value in
   the upstream direction.  This UPSTREAM_LABEL object is sent to the
   downstream node via a Path massage for upstream resource reservation.

   The ingress node or upstream node MAY generate a LABEL_SET object to
   indicate which labels on the outgoing interface in the downstream
   direction are acceptable.  The downstream node will restrict its
   choice of labels, i.e., TS resource and TPN value, to one which that is in
   the LABEL_SET object.

   The ingress node or upstream node MAY also generate a SUGGESTED_LABEL
   object to indicate the preference of TS resource and TPN value on the
   outgoing interface in the downstream direction.  The downstream node
   is not required to use the suggested labels and labels; it may use another label
   based on local decision and send it to the upstream node, as
   described in [RFC3473].

   When an upstream node receives a Resv message containing a
   GENERALIZED_LABEL object with an OTN-TDM label, it MUST firstly first
   identify which ODU Signal Type is multiplexed or mapped into which
   ODU Signal Type according to the Traffic Parameters and the IF_ID
   RSVP_HOP object in the received message.

   -  In the case of ODUj to ODUk ODUj-to-ODUk multiplexing, the node MUST retrieve
      the reserved tributary slots in the ODUk by its downstream
      neighbor node according to the position of the bits that are set
      to 1 in the Bit Map field.  The node determines the TS granularity
      (according to the total TS number of the ODUk, ODUk or pre-configured TS
      granularity), so that the node can multiplex the ODUj into the
      ODUk based on the TS granularity.  The node MUST also retrieve the
      TPN value assigned by its downstream neighbor node from the label, label
      and fill the TPN into the related MSI byte(s) in the OPUk overhead
      in the data plane, so that the downstream neighbor node can check
      whether the TPN received from the data plane is consistent with
      the ExMSI Expected MSI (ExMSI) and determine whether there is any
      mismatch defect.

   -  In the case of ODUk to OTUk ODUk-to-OTUk mapping, the size of the Bit Map field
      MUST be
      0 0, and no additional procedure is needed.

   When a downstream node or egress node receives a Path message
   containing a GENERALIZED_LABEL_REQUEST object for setting up an ODUj
   LSP from its upstream neighbor node, the node MUST generate an OTN-
   TDM label according to the Signal Type of the requested LSP and the
   available resources (i.e., available tributary slots of ODUk) that
   will be reserved for the LSP, LSP and send the label to its upstream
   neighbor node.

   -  In the case of ODUj to ODUk ODUj-to-ODUk multiplexing, the node MUST firstly first
      determine the size of the Bit Map field according to the Signal
      Type and the tributary slot type of ODUk, ODUk and then set the bits to
      1 in the Bit Map field corresponding to the reserved tributary
      slots.  The node MUST also assign a valid TPN, which MUST NOT
      collide with other TPN value values used by existing LO ODU connections
      in the selected HO ODU link, and configure the Expected MSI
      (ExMSI) using this TPN.  Then, the assigned TPN MUST be filled
      into the label.

   -  In the case of ODUk to OTUk ODUk-to-OTUk mapping, the TPN field MUST be set to
      0.  Bit Map information is not REQUIRED required and MUST NOT be included,
      so the Length field MUST be set to 0 as well.

6.2.1.  Notification on Label Error

   When an upstream node receives a Resv message containing a
   GENERALIZED_LABEL object with an OTN-TDM label, the node MUST verify
   if the label is acceptable.  If the label is not acceptable, the node
   MUST generate a ResvErr message with a "Routing problem/Unacceptable
   label value" indication.  Per [RFC3473], the generated ResvErr
   message MAY include an ACCEPTABLE_LABEL_SET object.  With the
   exception of label semantics, a downstream node processing a received
   ResvErr message and of ACCEPTABLE_LABEL_SET object is not modified by
   this document.

   Similarly, when a downstream node receives a Path message containing
   an UPSTREAM_LABEL object with an OTN-TDM label, the node MUST verify
   if the label is acceptable.  If the label is not acceptable, the node
   MUST generate a PathErr message with a "Routing problem/Unacceptable
   label value" indication.  Per [RFC3473], the generated PathErr
   message MAY include an ACCEPTABLE_LABEL_SET object.  With the
   exception of label semantics, the upstream nodes processing received a
   received PathErr message and of ACCEPTABLE_LABEL_SET object is are not
   modified by this document.

   A received label SHALL be considered unacceptable when one of the
   following cases occurs:

   -  The received label doesn't conform to local policy;

   - Invalid  An invalid value appears in the length Length field;

   -  The selected link only supports 2.5Gbps 2.5 Gbps TS granularity while the
      Length field in the label along with ODUk Signal Type indicates
      the 1.25Gbps 1.25 Gbps TS granularity;

   -  The label includes an invalid TPN value that breaks the TPN
      assignment rules; and

   -  The indicated resources (i.e., the number of "1" "1"s in the Bit Map
      field) are inconsistent with the Traffic Parameters.

6.3.  Supporting Virtual Concatenation and Multiplication

   Per [RFC6344], the Virtual Concatenation Groups (VCGs) can be created
   using Co-Signaled style the One LSP approach or the Multiple LSPs style. approach.

   In the case of Co-Signaled style, the One LSP approach, the explicit ordered list of all
   labels MUST reflect the order of VCG members, which is similar to
   [RFC4328].  In the case of multiplexed virtually concatenated signals
   (NVC > 1), the first label MUST indicate the components of the first
   virtually concatenated signal; the second label MUST indicate the
   components of the second virtually concatenated signal; and so on.
   In the case of multiplication of multiplexed virtually concatenated
   signals (MT > 1), the first label MUST indicate the components of the
   first multiplexed virtually concatenated signal; the second label
   MUST indicate components of the second multiplexed virtually
   concatenated signal; and so on.

   Support for Virtual Concatenation of ODU1, ODU2 ODU2, and ODU3 Signal
   Types, as defined by [RFC6344], is not modified by this document.
   Virtual Concatenation of other Signal Types is not supported by
   [G709-2012].

   Multiplier (MT) usage is as defined in [RFC6344] and [RFC4328].

6.4.  Examples

   The following examples are given in order to illustrate the label
   format described in Section 6.1 of this document.

   (1) ODUk into OTUk mapping: ODUk-to-OTUk Mapping:

   In such conditions, this scenario, the downstream node along an LSP returns a label
   indicating that the ODUk (k=1, 2, 3, 4) is directly mapped into the
   corresponding OTUk.  The following example label indicates an ODU1
   mapped into OTU1.

    0                   1                   2                   3

   (i.e., the type of the tributary slot is 2.5Gbps), 2.5 Gbps), and the TPN value
   is 1.

7.  Supporting Hitless Adjustment of ODUflex (GFP) ODUflex(GFP)

   [G7044] describes the procedure of ODUflex (GFP) ODUflex(GFP) hitless resizing
   using the Link Connection Resize (LCR) and Bandwidth Resize (BWR)
   protocols in the OTN data plane.

   For the control plane, signaling messages are REQUIRED to initiate
   the adjustment procedure. Section  Sections 2.5 and Section 4.6.4 of [RFC3209]
   describe how the Shared Explicit (SE) style is used in the Traffic
   Engineering (TE) network for bandwidth increasing and decreasing,
   which is still applicable for triggering the ODUflex (GFP) ODUflex(GFP) adjustment
   procedure in the data plane.

   Note that the SE style MUST be used at the beginning when creating a
   resizable ODUflex connection (Signal Type = 21).  Otherwise an error
   with Error Code "Conflicting reservation style" MUST be generated
   when performing bandwidth adjustment.

   -  Bandwidth increasing Increasing

      For the ingress node, in order to increase the bandwidth of an
       ODUflex (GFP)
      ODUflex(GFP) connection, a Path message with SE style (keeping
      Tunnel ID unchanged and assigning a new LSP ID) MUST be sent along
      the path.

      The ingress node will trigger the BWR protocol when successful
      completion of LCR protocols on every hop after the Resv message is
      processed.  On success of BWR, the ingress node SHOULD send a
      PathTear message to delete the old control state (i.e., the
      control state of the ODUflex (GFP) ODUflex(GFP) before resizing) on the control
      plane.

      A downstream node receiving a Path message with SE style compares
      the old Traffic Parameters (stored locally) with the new one
      carried in the Path message, message to determine the number of TS TSs to be
      added.  After choosing and reserving new available TS(s), the
      downstream node MUST send back a Resv message carrying both the
      old and new GENERALIZED_LABEL objects in the SE flow descriptor.

      An upstream neighbor receiving a Resv message with an SE flow
      descriptor MUST determine which TS(s) is/are added and trigger the
      LCR protocol between itself and its downstream neighbor node.

   -  Bandwidth decreasing Decreasing

      For the ingress node, a Path message with SE style SHOULD also be
      sent for decreasing the ODUflex bandwidth decreasing. bandwidth.

      The ingress node will trigger the BWR protocol when successful
      completion of LCR handshake on every hop after Resv message is
      processed.  On success of BWR, the second step of LCR, i.e., link
      connection decrease procedure will be started on every hop of the
      connection.  After completion of bandwidth decreasing, decreasing the bandwidth, the ingress node
      SHOULD send a ResvErr message to tear down the old control state.

      A downstream node receiving a Path message with SE style compares
      the old Traffic Parameters with the new one carried in the Path
      message to determine the number of TS TSs to be decreased.  After
      choosing TSs to be decreased, the downstream node MUST send back a
      Resv message carrying both the old and new GENERALIZED_LABEL
      objects in the SE flow descriptor.

      An upstream neighbor receiving a Resv message with an SE flow
      descriptor MUST determine which TS(s) is/are decreased and trigger
      the first step of the LCR protocol (i.e., LCR handshake) between
      itself and its downstream neighbor node.

8.  Operations, Administration Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Considerations

   Regarding

   OTN OAM configuration, it configuration could be done through either Network Management
   Systems (NMS) (NMSs) or the GMPLS control plane as defined in [TDM-OAM].
   [RFC4783] SHOULD be used for communication of alarm information in GMPLS based
   GMPLS-based OTN.

   Management Information Base (MIB) Bases (MIBs) may need be extended to read new
   information (e.g, (e.g., OTN-TDM Generalized Label, Label and OTN-TDM SENDER_TSPEC/
   SENDER_TSPEC / FLOWSPEC) from the OTN devices.  This is out of outside the
   scope of this document.

   More information about the management aspects for GMPLS based OTN GMPLS-based OTN,
   refer to Section 5.7 of [OTN-FWK]. [RFC7062].

9. Control Plane Backward Compatibility  Control-Plane Backward-Compatibility Considerations

   As described in [OTN-FWK], [RFC7062], since the [RFC4328] has been deployed in the
   network for the nodes that support the 2001 revision of the G.709
   specification, control plane control-plane backward compatibility SHOULD be taken
   into consideration.  More specifically:

   o  Nodes supporting this document SHOULD support [OTN-OSPF]. [RFC7138].

   o  Nodes supporting this document MAY support [RFC4328] signaling.

   o  A node supporting both sets of procedures (i.e., [RFC4328] and
      this document) is not REQUIRED required to signal an LSP using both
      procedures, i.e., to act as a signaling version translator.

   o  Ingress nodes that support both sets of procedures MAY select
      which set of procedures to follow based on routing information or
      local policy.

   o  Per [RFC3473], nodes that do not support this document will
      generate a PathErr message, with a "Routing problem/Switching
      Type" indication.

10.  Security Considerations

   This document is a modification to [RFC3473] and [RFC4328], and [RFC4328]; it only
   differs in specific information communicated.  As such, this document
   introduces no new security considerations to the existing GMPLS
   signaling protocols. Referring  Refer to [RFC3473] and [RFC4328], [RFC4328] for further
   details of the specific security measures are provided. measures.  Additionally, [RFC5920]
   provides an overview of security vulnerabilities and protection
   mechanisms for the GMPLS control plane.
