Figure 12.6 Overview on the resources <strong>of</strong> the ASTN information model (draft version).<br />

Second, as an optional parameter, the operator may specify some or even<br />

all intermediate hops the path should take. This is done by specifying a group <strong>of</strong><br />

outgoing ports. Then the routing protocol may decide which port (<strong>and</strong> channel)<br />

inside this group will be used for the connection.<br />

Furthermore, the required switching type <strong>of</strong> the connection has to be<br />

given, as the nodes (<strong>and</strong> ports) may support more than one switching type. Also<br />

the required encoding type <strong>of</strong> the optical layer connection has to be specified in<br />

the setup request. This is needed to check whether the involved ports support<br />

the required encoding type <strong>of</strong> the OLC. This check should be done by the management<br />

system.<br />

Finally, in the setup request the management system gives its identifier in a<br />

parameter called activatorId. This parameter will go into an attribute <strong>of</strong> the<br />

AstnTrail, to be able to distinguish s<strong>of</strong>t-permanent connections from switched<br />

connections.<br />

Our requirement that permanent, switched, <strong>and</strong> s<strong>of</strong>t-permanent connections<br />

may coexist has several implications.<br />

First, the trail object must carry the information about its ownersh<strong>ip</strong>, <strong>and</strong><br />

rules have to be defined regarding who is allowed to access the resource in which<br />

way (e.g., get information, modify, or tear down an OLC).<br />
