With the growing demand for business communications, electrical signal processing optical path switching can’t meet the demand. The multi-granularity switch system that can improve node routing and switching capabilities came into being. In the traditional network, each node is responsible for calculating the path; synchronize the whole network state, which will increase the burden on the network, so the concept of path calculation element (PCE) is proposed. The PCE is responsible for routing and allocating resources in the network1. In the traditional band-switched optical network, the wavelength is used as the basic routing unit, resulting in relatively low wavelength utilization. Due to the limitation of wavelength continuity, the routing design of the band technology becomes complicated, which directly affects the utilization of the system. In this paper, optical code granularity is adopted. There is no continuity of the optical code, and the number of optical codes is more flexible than the wavelength. For the introduction of optical code switching, we propose a Code Group Routing Entity (CGRE) algorithm. In short, the combination of three-tier multi-granularity optical switching system and PCE can simplify the network structure, reduce the node load, and enhance the network scalability and survivability. Realize the intelligentization of optical network.
In the existing three layers multi-granularity OCDM switching system (TLMG-OCDMSS), F-LSP, L-LSP and OC-LSP can be bundled as switching granularity. For CPU-intensive network, the node not only needs to compute the path but also needs to bundle the switching granularity so that the load of single node is heavy. The node will paralyze when the traffic of the node is too heavy, which will impact the performance of the whole network seriously. The introduction of stateful PCE(S-PCE) will effectively solve these problems. PCE is composed of two parts, namely, the path computation element and the database (TED and LSPDB), and returns the result of path computation to PCC (path computation clients) after PCC sends the path computation request to it. In this way, the pressure of the distributed path computation in each node is reduced. In this paper, we propose the concept of Learning PCE (L-PCE), which uses the existing LSPDB as the data source of PCE’s learning. By this means, we can simplify the path computation and reduce the network delay, as a result, improving the performance of network.
