[I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation] describes some use cases, where a client needs to request underlying SDN controllers for path computation. In some of these use cases the underlying SDN controller can control a single-layer (OTN, WSON or Flexi-grid) or multi-layer Optical network.¶
This document define YANG data models, which augment the generic Path Computation RPC defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation], with technology-specific augmentations required to request path computation to an underlying Optical SDN controller. These models allow a client to delegate path computation tasks to the underlying Optical SDN controller without having to obtain optical-layer information from the controller and performing feasible path computation itself. This is especially helpful in cases where computing optically-feasible paths requires knowledge of physical-layer states, such as optical impairments, which are visible only to the Optical controller.¶
The YANG data model defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture [RFC8342].¶

The YANG data models for requesting WSON, Flexi-grid and OTN path computation are defined as augmentations of the generic Path Computation RPC defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation], as shown in Figure 1.¶
The entities and TE attributes, such as requested path and tunnel attributes, defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation], are still applicable when requestiong WSON, Flexi-grid and OTN path computation and the models defined in this document only specifies the additional technology-specific attributes/information, using the attributes defined in [RFC9093], [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer0-types-ext] and [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types].¶
The YANG modules ietf-wson-path-computation, ietf-flexi-grid-path-computation and ietf-otn-path-computation defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].¶
The common characteristics for layer 0 (WSON and Flexi-grid) tunnels are under definition in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer0-types-ext] and re-used in the ietf-wson-path-computation and ietf-flexi-grid-path-computation YANG models¶
As described in Section 4.2 of [RFC7699], there is some overlap between bandwidth and label in layer0.¶
The WSON and flexi-grid label resource information described in Section 2.4, is sufficient to describe also the spectrum resources within WSON and flexi-grid networks. Therefore, the model does not define any augmentation for the te-bandwidth containers defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation].¶
The OTN path computation model augments all the occurrences of the te-bandwidth container with the OTN technology specific attributes using the otn-link-bandwidth and otn-path-bandwidth groupings defined in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types].¶
The models augment all the occurrences of the label-restriction list with WSON, Flexi-grid and OTN technology specific attributes using the l0-label-range-info and flexi-grid-label-range-info groupings defined in [RFC9093] and the otn-label-range-info grouping defined in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types].¶
Moreover, the models augment all the occurrences of the te-label container with the WSON, Flexi-grid and OTN technology specific attributes using the wson-label-start-end, wson-label-hop, wson-label-step, flexi-grid-label-start-end, flexi-grid-label-hop and flexi-grid-label-step defined in [RFC9093] and the otn-label-start-end, otn-label-hop and otn-label-step groupings defined in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types].¶
