Agenda
• Transport Service Requirements• Transport Technologies
– Ethernet over SONET– Native Ethernet– Connection Oriented Ethernet– Optical Transport Network (OTN)– Wave Division Multiplexing
©2006 RVW, Inc. 3
Transport Service Requirements• At the Demark
– Port Types / Quantities (Current and Future)– Redundancy
• Path Diversity• Hardware Protection• Uplink: STP / LAG / G.8032 (ERPS)
– Power / Mounting / Environment– Certifications (NEBS, Approved Vendor Lists)
• Bandwidth– Committed Information Rate (Guaranteed)– Excess Information Rate (Burst)
©2006 RVW, Inc. 4
Transport Service Requirements• Performance & Reliability
– Frame Delay (Latency) / Delay Variation (Jitter)– Error Rate– Fail Over / Availability– Time to Repair
• Circuit Testing & Acceptance– RFC 2544 (Bandwidth / Frame Sizes)– Y.1731 (Latency / Jitter)
• Monitoring / Reporting– Real-Time / Logged– Alerting

Transport Technologies• Ethernet over SONET
– First Generation of “Carrier Class” Ethernet– Leverages SONET Protection Scheme– Unified TDM and Packet Transport– May be a Quick, Low-Cost Option– Limited Capacity– High Cost to Scale

Transport Technologies• Native Ethernet
– Optical Ethernet Directly Over Fiber– 100 Mbps to 100 Gbps– VLAN Tagging/Prioritization (802.1Q/p)
• VLAN Tags Separate Services• VLAN Trunks Carry Multiple Services• “P-Bits” Prioritize Traffic

Switch can be provisioned to accept traffic already tagged from customer, or apply tag if received untagged
Tags keep traffic separatedon trunk connection

Transport Technologies• Native Ethernet
– 802.1Q Issues• Carrier Must Dictate Customer VLAN
Assignments (No Overlap Allowed)• VLAN Exhaust (No Re-Use Allowed)• MAC Limitations• Some Older Switches Can Tag but Not Trunk• 1522 Byte Frame may be Dropped• Provisioning / Administration Complexity for
Larger Networks and Multipoint Customers

Transport Technologies• Native Ethernet
– Provider Bridges (802.1ad)• AKA: Q-in-Q / VLAN Stacking / Double Tagging• Carrier Uses “Service” VLAN (S-Tag / Outer Tag)
to Carry Customer VLANs (C-Tag / Inner Tag)• Allows Customer Control of their VLAN IDs• Alleviates VLAN Exhaust• Reduces Administrative Complexity for Carrier• Does NOT Alleviate MAC Limitations

Switch typically receives tagged traffic from customer then applies outer Service TagS-Tag 100 for Customer AS-Tag 200 for Customer B
Trunks only switch using Service Tag

Transport Technologies• Native Ethernet
– 802.1ad Issues• Carrier Edge Equipment Capabilities• Jumbo Frame Support Required (Edge & Transit)• MAC Limitations Still an Issue• Provisioning / Administration Complexity for
Larger Networks and Multipoint Customers

Transport Technologies• Native Ethernet
– Redundancy / Protection• Link Aggregation (LAG)
– Primarily for Customer Uplinks– Can be Used on Transport Links– Load Balancing / Incremental Bandwidth Growth– Inter-Switch or Cross-Card LAG for Redundant Hardware
• Spanning Tree Protocols (STP / RSTP / MSTP)– Prevents Layer-2 Loops (Link Blocking)– Uplink or Transport Protection– Supports “Meshy” Networks (Pun Intended)– VLAN Trunks Require MSTP (802.1s)– Can be Slow on Switching and Restoration (Tunable)

Transport Technologies• Native Ethernet
– Redundancy / Protection• Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (G.8032)
– Prevents Layer-2 Loops– Primarily Transport, Can be Used on Uplinks– Ring / Inter-Connected Ring Architectures (Not “Meshy”)– Fast - Provides sub-50ms protection and recovery– Version 2 Adds
» Interconnected Rings» Manual Protection Switching (Force, Manual, Clear)» Multiple Ring Instances» Revertive / Non-Revertive Switching

Transport Technologies• Connection Oriented Ethernet
– Technologies that Provide Static, “Circuit-Like” Behavior for Ethernet
– Provider Backbone Bridges (802.1ah)• Leverages Ethernet Standards• Like Q-in-Q Except Uses “MAC-in-MAC”• Solves MAC scaling issues

Transport Technologies• Connection Oriented Ethernet
– PBB-TE (802.1Qay)• TE = Traffic Engineering• Enhances PBB to be More Transport “Friendly”
– Eliminates Broadcast/Multicast Flooding– Does Not Use Dynamic (Learned) Forwarding Tables– No Mechanism for Loop Avoidance (Manual Prevention)
• Working / Protect Paths Manually Configured– More Predictable Traffic Engineering– Requires Up-Front Planning and Provisioning

Transport Technologies• Connection Oriented Ethernet
– MPLS-TP• TP = Transport Profile• Simplified Subset of MPLS Protocol• Removes Complexity of Dynamic Nature of MPLS• Predetermined / Predictable / Bi-Directional Paths
– PBB-TE & MPLS-TP Not Necessarily Competing Technologies• PBB-TE good fit for Access and Aggregation• MPLS-TP good fit for Core Transport Portions
©2006 RVW, Inc. 19
Transport Technologies• Optical Transport Network (OTN / G.709)
– “Digital Wrapper” that provides SONET-Like operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning
– Allows multiplexing of different protocols into same payload• SONET• Ethernet• SAN (FiberChannel)
– Provides FEC for signal reach enhancement– Powerful adjunct to WDM systems
©2006 RVW, Inc. 20
Transport Technologies• Wave Division Multiplexing
– How Transport is Scaled as Customer Demand for Ethernet Services Grows
– Technology Carries Multiple Systems “Stacked” on Same Fiber Using Different Wavelengths
– Integrated Platforms Combine Ethernet Transport Technologies, OTN and WDM• Carrier Ethernet Capabilities• Multiprotocol Transport• Simple and Cost-Effective Growth
©2006 RVW, Inc. 21
Transport Technologies• Wave Division Multiplexing
– Key Concepts• CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing)
– Typically 4 to 16 Wave Systems– Shorter Reach
• DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing)– Typically 40 to 80 Wave (100 or 50 GHz Spacing)– Long Reach (Amplification / Dispersion Compensation)
• ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Mux)– Optical Circuit Mapping for DWDM Systems– Automatic Power Balancing– Degrees = Directions of Transport
