Summary :

This paper proposes a Generalized Traffic Engineering Protocol (GTEP). GTEP is a protocol that permits communication between a Path Computation Element (PCE) and a Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) controller (CNTL). The latter is hosted by each GMPLS node; it handles GMPLS and MPLS protocols such as routing and signaling protocols as well as controlling the GMPLS node host. The PCE provides multi-layer traffic engineering; it calculates Label Switched Path (LSP) routes and judges whether a new lower-layer LSP should be established. GTEP functions are implemented in both the PCE and GMPLS router. We demonstrate a multi-layer traffic engineering experiment conducted with GTEP.
