ZXCTN 6300 bears TDM/ATM/ETH services through PWE3 (Pseudo Wire Emulation
Edge-to-Edge) and provides a transparent transport channel for various services in PSN
(Packet Switching Network). In the channel, user services are isolated from each other
and service attributes keep unchanged during the transport.
PWE3 integrates the original access modes and the existing IP backbone network to
reduce CAPEX and OPEX.
3.2.1 TDM service
ZXCTN 6300 supports TDM service via TDM E1 interface and supports Structure-aware
and Structure-agnostic Emulation of TDM service.
Structure-aware Emulation has the following functions.
The equipment can be aware of frame structure, framing mode and
timeslot information in TDM circuit.
The equipment processes TDM frame overheads, extracts payloads and
puts the timeslots into packet message payloads in a certain sequence,
so each service in the message is fixed.
Compared with Structure-agnostic Emulation, the latency of
Structure-aware Emulation is longer, as TDM service need to be
processed in PE (Provider Edge) node. However, Structure-aware
Emulation can save the bandwidth of backbone network.
Structure-agnostic Emulation has the following functions.
The equipment can be agnostic about any structure in TDM signal. It
treats TDM signal as constant-rate bit stream and emulates the TDM
signal.
Overheads and payloads in TDM signal are transmitted transparently.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
18 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Compared with Structure-aware Emulation, the latency of
Structure-agnostic Emulation is shorter. However, Structure-agnostic
Emulation needs larger bandwidth of backbone network than
Structure-aware Emulation.
ZXCTN 6300 supports flexible configuration of TDM CES. Each E1 interface can be
configured as Structure-aware or Structure-agnostic independently.
3.2.2 ATM service
ZXCTN 6300 supports ATM service via IMA E1 interface. The equipment accesses ATM
service via ATM interface at PE node, extracts ATM cell from IMA, encapsulates ATM
cells with PWE3, and maps them to the tunnel for transmission and forwards to
destination node based on external tunnel label. As a result, the transparent transmission
of ATM service can be achieved.
ZXCTN 6300 can encapsulate ATM cell to PW with One-to-One Cell or N-to-one Cell
mode.
IMA E1 can transfer high-speed ATM cells via multiple low-speed E1 physical-layer
interfaces. The multiple IMA E1 links which transfer ATM cell are called an E1 group.
Each IMA board of ZXCTN 6300 has at most 16 IMA E1 interface and can support 1~16
E1 groups.
3.2.3 Ethernet service
ZXCTN 6300 supports access and transmission of Ethernet service via Fast Ethernet
interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet interface, etc.
ZXCTN 6300 offers the following three types of Ethernet services that are compliant with
ITU-T, MEF6.

Support ordinary QinQ and port-based external label.
Support Selective QinQ and flow-based external label.
Support Selective QinQ internal priority mapping.
Support TPID modification.
Support 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 QinQ functions.
ZXCTN 6300 supports port based VLAN separation and provides multiple types of
interfaces according to whether the received messages are encapsulated with VLAN Tag.
ZXCTN 6300 is connected to user host via Access interface, to other ZXCTN equipment
via Trunk interface, and to user host or other ZXCTN or Ethernet switch via Hybrid
interface. The equipments connected via Trunk interface can connect with each other
through VLAN Trunk connection and transport multiple VLAN data stream. As a result,
the VLAN interworking can be achieved in the whole metro network.
In 802.1Q VLAN protocol, VLAN ID is based on 12 bits, which limits VLAN number up to
4096. In order to extend VLAN ID address space and improve security, ZXCTN extends
VLAN on the basis of IEEE802.1Q (QinQ). QinQ is also called Stacked VLAN or Double
VLAN, which encapsulates VLAN Tag of the private network into VLAN Tag of the public
network so that the packets go through backbone network (public network) of the carriers
with two layers of VLAN Tag. Because QinQ has two layers of tag, it extends VLAN
range of metro backbone network.
3.3.3 Link aggregation function
ZXCTN 6300 supports link aggregation to bind a group of physical interfaces, which can
make the interfaces group as same as the single link logically.
Link aggregation is an approach to increase bandwidth and improve reliability by binding
physical links. Because link aggregation can multiply the bandwidth between different
devices, it is an important technology to create link transmission resilience and
redundancy. Meanwhile, when some links of the link aggregation group failed, link
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 23
aggregation function can protect transmission on the fault links and switch the service to
the working links of the same link aggregation group, which can remarkably increase the
transmission reliability.
There are manual aggregation and static aggregation according to implementation mode.
Manual aggregation does not need LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), but static
aggregation does.
Link aggregation supports the traffic sharing option by adopting load-sharing or
non-load-sharing mode. If load-sharing mode is adopted, the traffic load will be
automatically shared among the physical link in the same link aggregation group. When
one of the physical links failed, its traffic will be shared among other links in this group
and the traffic will be reallocated after the link fault is resolved. If non-load-sharing mode
is adopted, only active link has traffic and standby link is in the standby status, which is
actually a backup mechanism. When the active link fails, the traffic will be switched to the
standby link to protect links failure.
ZXCTN 6300 supports manual load-sharing link aggregation and LACP defined by IEEE
802.3ad, which can bind FE and GE interfaces, and support link aggregation across
service boards based on MAC, VLAN & IP load balancing.
3.3.4 STP function
ZXCTN 6300 supports STP complying with IEEE802.1D, RSTP complying with
IEEE802.1w, and MSTP complying with IEEE802.1s.
Without authentication mechanism, STP cannot authenticate and limit new added BPDU
packets, which will impact network topology and stability. ZXCTN 6300 uses BPDU
protection, root protection and ring protection to stabilize L2 switching network topology.
In the simple network (e.g., small network composed of several switches) or the special
port (e.g., the port connected to PC), which STP is not needed, STP can be disabled
manually to meet the network and management requirements. ZXCTN 6300 provides the
protocol disable function based on port.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description

3.3.5 DHCP Relay function
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically allocates IP address to the
host. After getting the IP address, the host can initiates an IP communication via the IP
address. In the LTE stage, it is required that DHCP dynamically allocates the address to
eNB to enhance network automatization.
ZXCTN 6300 supports DHCP Relay. DHCP Server is usually deployed in the
convergence layer or core layer equipment, thus it is required that DHCP packet of the
host can penetrate different subnets to reach DHCP Server. In order to support the
penetration, ZXCTN 6300 can snoop and relay DHCP packet, which is DHCP Relay
function.
3.3.6 802.1x NAC authentication
ZXCTN 6300 supports 802.1x NAC authentications. Because of the feature of network
automatic deployment in the LTE stage, NAC function is required to authenticate the
bearer network access port of eNB to prevent eNB from illegal access. The commonly
used authentication method is to use 802.1x authentication protocol to control access
port.
802.1X module has the following functions:
Forwarding plane can control port-based 802.1x authentication.
Support transparent transport of EAP packet to implement EAP between equipment
and authentication server.
Support RADIUS.
3.3.7 Multicast
IGMP proxy/snooping is the L2 multicast mechanism which manage and control
multicast group. The equipment with IGMP proxy/snooping function analyzes the
received IGMP packet to establish the mapping relationship between ports and MAC
multicast addresses, and forward multicast data according to the relationship.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 25
IGMP proxy/snooping uses L2 multicast to forward the information only to the receiver in
demand and has the following advantages:
Reduce the broadcast messages in L2 network and save network bandwidth.

administrator and can be configured to make simple network run normally. Static route
can be set and used properly to improve network performance, and guarantee the
sufficient bandwidth for important networks.
3.4.1.5 Route forwarding load sharing (ECMP)
ZXCTN 6300 supports route forwarding load sharing (Equal Cost of Multi-path). When IP
network uses route protocol or static configuration to reach a destination network,
multiple equivalent next hops share the load in IP route forwarding. ECMP can share the
load of IP packets for services and NM to increase the forwarding capability. Each ECMP
group supports up to 8 routes.

3.4.1.7 UDP protocol
ZXCTN 6300 follows UDP (User Datagram Protocol). As basic connectionless transport
protocol, UDP is the transports means of many protocols. For example, it is used by
protocols such as OSPF and LDP to transmit Hello protocol packets. The basic function
follows RFC 768 - User Datagram Protocol.
3.4.1.8 TCP protocol
ZXCTN 6300 follows TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). As basic connection
transport protocol, TCP is the transports means of many upper-level protocols. For
example, it is used by such protocols as BGP, LDP and Telnet to transmit datagram
packets. The basic function follows RFC 793 - Transmission Control Protocol.
3.4.1.9 VRRP protocol
VRRP is the protocol about gateway node redundancy protection. As shown in Figure
3-6, CE is dual-homed to PE1 and PE2 via two links. PE1 address is 30.1.1.2, MAC1 and
PE2 address is 30.1.1.4, MAC2.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 29
Figure 3-6 VRRP
After running VRRP, PE1 and PE2 virtualize an IP address 30.1.1.1. When CE is
configured with routes, next hop is designated as VRRP virtual address. Thus CE shields
the IP address of the actual port with virtual address.
After running VRRP, PE1 and PE2 exchange VRRP packets with each other to select the
active equipment. When the network is in operation, only the active equipment virtualizes
ARP request packets of the address 30.1.1.1. Thus the MAC address learnt by CE is the
MAC address of the active, the packets will be forwarded to the active.
When the active is found going wrong in VRRP packet check, the standby will work as
the active and send a free ARP packet to virtual address. After receiving the packet, CE
updates ARP table to refresh forwarding paths and send service packets to the new
active. ZXCTN 6300 follows Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (RFC 3768).
VRRP supports multi-backup configuration, backup priority setting, VRRP switching
authentication and priority replacement mode.
3.4.1.10 GRE protocol
ZXCTN 6300 follows GRE protocol. When PTN equipment penetrates IP network, an IP
tunnel technology is needed. GRE is a tunnel technology with certain security. The
application scenario is shown in Figure 3-7:
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
30 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Figure 3-7 GRE tunnel encapsulation
After PTN tunnel encapsulation, packet service to be transmitted is added with GRE
encapsulation to become GRE packet and then is encapsulated into IP packet. Thus IP
layer will get charge with the forward transport of the packet.

3.4.2.3 BGP protocol
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a dynamic route protocol between ASs. Different from
IGP such as OSPF and RIP, BGP focuses on control route transmission and best route
selection instead of route discovery and calculation. BGP runs in two ways: It is called
IBGP when it runs in one AS and EBGP when it runs between different ASs. As the
actual Internet external route protocol standard, BGP-4 is widely used between ISPs

3.5 MPLS
3.5.1 MPLS Overview
Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) was proposed first to increase the forwarding
speed of router. Currently MPLS is developing towards backbone router and VPN
solution.
MPLS combines powerful L3 routing function of IP network and efficient forwarding
mechanism of traditional L2 network, and adopts connection-oriented mode in the
forwarding plane, which is similar to existent L2 forwarding mode. This enables MPLS to
easily realize seamless convergence of IP and L2 network, such as ATM and Ethernet.
MPLS can also provide better solutions for Traffic Engineering (TE), Virtual Private
Network (VPN) and Quality of Service (QoS). Therefore, MPLS has become an important
standard for data network scale expansion and operability improvement.
3.5.2 MPLS Network Architecture
The typical MPLS network architecture is as shown in Figure 3-10. The basic element of
MPLS network is Label Switching Router (LSR). The network domain formed by LSR is
called MPLS Domain.
The LSR located at the edge of MPLS domain and connecting other networks is called
Label Edge Router (LER); the LSR inside MPLS domain is called Core LSR. If an LSR
has one or more adjacent nodes that do not run MPLS, this LSR is LER. If all the
adjacent nodes of an LSR run MSLS, this LSR is a core LSR.
ZXCTN 6300 equipment can work as LSR and LER equipment.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
38 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Figure 3-10 MPLS network architecture
3.5.3 MPLS Basic Functions
The MPLS system architecture of ZXCTN 6300 complies with the standard: Multiprotocol
Label Switching Architecture (RFC 3031).
The label stack architecture of ZXCTN 6300 complies with the standard MPLS Label
Stack Encoding (RFC 3032).
ZXCTN 6300 equipment supports the following MPLS functions:
Per-platform label space management function.
Per-platform label management function includes creation and deletion of label
space, and distribution and advertisement of dynamic labels.
Distribution and advertisement of labels support the following label types:
LSP label of RSVP-TE
PW label distributed by LDP
Distribution of network management label
Distribution of VRF label of L3VPN
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 39
Domain management of static/dynamic labels
Dynamic and static labels are distributed in unified label space, but they can be
managed in different domains.
Inlet node service and label processing function
In the inlet node of LSP, perform Push operation for data messages by service
binding or layered LSP binding.
Outlet node service and label processing function
In the outlet node of LSP, perform label Pop operation for messages.
Intermediate node label processing function
In the intermediate node of LSP, perform label SWAP operation for messages.
3.5.4 LDP
MPLS system has multiple label distribution protocols. LDP (Label Distribution Protocol)
is one of the basic signaling of MPLS, mainly processing establishment and maintenance
of LSP/PW. It is the most commonly used LSP/PW signaling protocol in the current
network. In case of hybrid network of the equipment and traditional IP/MPLS router, the
LSP of LDP is established by interconnection of LDP and IP/MPLS router in the current
network.
LDP specifies various messages and related processing procedure during label
distribution. It is mainly used for LSR to negotiate session parameters and distribute
labels and established label switching path (LSP). LSR connects the incoming label,
next-hop node and outgoing label corresponding to a certain FEC in the local forwarding
table together and thus forms the label switching path that crosses the whole MPLS
domain.
3.5.4.1 LDP LSP Label Advertisement and Management
After LDP session is established, LDP protocol begins to switch information such as label
mapping to establish LSP. RFC5036 defines label advertisement mode, label distribution
control mode and label retention mode to decide how LSR advertises and manages
labels.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
40 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
For ZXCTN 6300, we recommend the following combination: Downstream Unsolicited
(DU) + Independent label control mode + Liberal label retention mode.
3.5.4.2 LDP LSP Label Advertisement Mode
In MPLS system, the downstream LSR distributes the labels to specific FEC and then
notifies the upstream LSR. The label is designated by the downstream LSR and is
distributed in the direction from downstream to upstream.
Label Advertisement Mode can be divided into two types.
Downstream Unsolicited
DU (Downstream Unsolicited) means for a specific FEC, LSR performs label
distribution without getting label request message from upstream.
Figure 3-11 Downstream Unsolicited
Downstream on Demand
DoD (Downstream on Demand) means for a specific FEC, LSR performs label
distribution after getting label request message from upstream.
Figure 3-12 Downstream on Demand
The downstream LSR feedback label mapping message depends on the label
control mode used by this LSR.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 41
When ordered mode is adopted, only when receiving label mapping
message returned from the downstream, or when this LSR is the outlet
node of this FEC, it will sends label mapping message to the upstream.
When Independent mode is adopted, whether receiving label mapping
message returned from the downstream or not, it will send label mapping
message to the upstream immediately.
3.5.4.3 LDP LSP Label Distribution Control Mode
Label Distribution Control Mode refers to the processing mode when LSR distributes
labels during the establishment of LSP.
Label Distribution Control Mode can be divided into two types.
Independent Label Distribution Control
Independent Label Distribution Control means the local LSR can distribute a label to
bind with an FEC freely and notify it to the upstream LSR, without waiting for
downstream label.
Ordered Label Distribution Control
Ordered Label Distribution Control means for the label mapping of an FEC on an
LSR, only when this LSR has the next-hop label mapping message of this FEC, or
when this LSR is the outlet node of this FEC, this LSR can send label mapping of
this FEC to the upstream.
3.5.4.4 LDP LSP Label Retention Mode
Label Retention Mode refers to the processing mode for label mapping received by LSR
that will not be used for the time being.
Label Retention Mode can be divided into two types.
Liberal Label Retention Mode
Liberal Label Retention Mode means the LSR will retain the label mapping received
from the adjacent LSR no matter whether this adjacent LSR is its next-hop.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
42 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Figure 3-13 Liberal Label Retention Mode
Conservative Label Retention Mode
Conservative Label Retention Mode means the LSR will retain the label mapping
received from the adjacent LSR only when this adjacent LSR is its next-hop.
Figure 3-14 Conservative Label Retention Mode
3.5.4.5 LDP LSP Establishment
The procedure of establishing LSP on ZXCTN 6300 equipment is to bind FEC and label,
and notify this binding to the adjacent LSR on LSP. This procedure is realized by LDP.
The following is a description of the major procedure for Downstream Unsolicited
Advertisement Mode and Ordered Label Distribution Control Mode.
When the network route changes, if an edge node finds a new destination address
in its route table, and this address does not belong to any existing FEC, this edge
node needs to establish a new FEC for this destination address.
If the outlet node of MPLS network has labels to be distributed, it distributes a label
to the FEC and sends label mapping message to the upstream initiatively. The label
mapping message includes the label distributed and the bound FEC.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 43
The LSR receiving label mapping message adds a corresponding item in its label
forwarding table and sends label mapping message of the specified FEC to the
upstream LSR initiatively.
When the LSR in the inlet node receives label mapping message, it also needs to
add a corresponding item in its label forwarding table. At this time, LSP
establishment is completed. Next the data packet corresponding to this FEC can be
forwarded.
3.5.4.6 LDP MD-5 Certification
To increase the safety of LDP protocol, some safety measures should be taken for it.
One of the measures is MD-5 certification.
MD-5 certification is encryption certification. A key and a key ID are configured on each
piece of equipment. LDP transmits messages using TCP protocol which calculates the
digest by MD-5 algorithm and adds the digest to the end of the message. TCP protocol at
the receiving end also calculates digest by MD-5 algorithm and them compares it with the
digest calculated at the transmit end. If the two are consistent, LDP passes the
certification, otherwise, it fails.
The control plane configures TCP MD-5 configuration options separately for each LDP
peer. The options include:
Whether support TCP MD-5 encryption;
If TCP MD-5 encryption is supported, configure encryption password.
Support separate password configuration by each neighbor.
LDP TCP MD-5 encryption design of ZXCTN 6300 should comply with the requirements
of RFC 3036.

3.5.4.7 LDP GR Function
For the label data forwarding problems caused by the restart of LSR control plane,
especially those caused by the restart of LDP control plane, ZXCTN 6300 solves them by
LDP Graceful Restart mechanism.
Configuration mechanism: The user can enable and disable LDP GR (disabled by
default) and relevant timer.
LSR can remain forwarding state upon session restart, node restart or LDP
signaling restart.
Other non-LDP faults such as board reset and interface down will not trigger GR.
3.5.5 RSVP-TE
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is designed for integrated service model, used
for resource reservation on the nodes of an LSP. RSVP works on the transport layer but
does not participate in application data transport. It is a network control protocol, and
similar to ICMP.
Simply speaking, RSVP has the following major features: the receiver-oriented, the
receiver originates the request for resource reservation and maintains resource
reservation state. Soft state mechanism is used to maintain resource reservation
information.
The extended contents of RSVP-TE from RSVP include:
Introduce Label Request object in the PATH message of RSVP to support
originating label request; introduce Label object in RSVP Resv message to support
label distribution. In this way, CR-LSP can be established.
The extended message can not only carry label binding information but also
limitation information, so as to support the constrained routing function of CR-LSP.
Besides, RSVP-TE supports related attributes of MPLS-TE by extending object to
enable it to have resource reservation function.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 45
RSVP of ZXCTN 6300, after extension, can support distribution of MPLS labels and carry
resource reservation information while transporting label binding information. The
extended RSVP is called RSVP-TE, used to establish LSP tunnel as a signaling protocol
to implement the following function.
Establishment and maintenance of TE LSP
Removal of TE LSP
Error notification
For basic functions of RSVP-TE, the following functions defined in relevant standard
should be supported:
Support soft state mechanism of RSVP
Support FF (Fixed-Filter style) and SE (Shared-Explicit style) resource
reservation types of RSVP-TE, among which, SE is mainly used for MBB
(Make Before Break) function
Support MBB (Make Before Break) mechanism
Support basic messages and processing mechanisms of RSVP
Support messages and processing mechanisms defined by RSVP-TE for
RSVP extension to establish TE LSP
Support establishment of TE LSP via RSV-TE
Support LSP maintenance and digest refresh
3.5.5.1 Explicit Path Function
RSVP-TE message supports designation function of LSP node and can establish explicit
path. By explicit path technology, it can specify the paths that must be passed and those
that are not passed to arrive at a destination. The LSP paths planned can be calculated
dynamically by taking explicit path as a constraint.
For explicit path function, ZXCTN 6300 supports the following modes:
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
46 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Strict explicit path: the next hop and the previous hop are connected directly.
Loose explicit path: the loose mode can specify which node the path must pass, but
there can be other nodes between this node and the previous hop.
Combination of strict mode and loose mode.
3.5.5.2 RSVP MD5 Certification Function
The interface with RSVP-TE enabled supports multiple message digest algorithms. The
major ones are hmac-md5 and hmac sha-1, which can be selected by the administrator
and the default one is MD5. The certification is only directed for the interface and not for
the neighbor. Each interface supports one key.
3.5.5.3 Constrained Path Calculation Function
IGP extension (OSPF-TE/ISIS-TE) can collect interface bandwidth resource information
of the whole network form TE link database, calculate CSPF by constrained path and
calculate LSP path information required by the customer so as to drive RSVP-TE to
establish corresponding LSP.
ZXCTN 6300 supports the following constrained path calculation functions:
Support constraint: ordinary bandwidth, prioritized bandwidth, classified bandwidth,
explicit path, destination address.
Support path exclusion calculation.
Support path bandwidth shared calculation.
3.5.5.4 Interface TE Bandwidth Management Function
The interface bandwidth resource can be partly or fully distributed to TE for LSP
establishment. This information need be managed and distributed in the network via
OSPF-TE/ISIS-TE.
ZXCTN 6300 supports the following functions:
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 47
For interface type, only ordinary physical interface supports this function. Interface
TE bandwidth management is not required for VLAN sub-interface and bound
interface.
Basic management on ordinary bandwidth and prioritized bandwidth of TE interface.
Provide interface for OSPF-TE and ISIS-TE to enable them to get bandwidth
information of TE interface and perform the flooding function.
3.5.5.5 Bidirectional LSP
To improve the network performance and protection capability, ZXCTN 6300 supports
establishment of bidirectional LSP, supports bidirectional same routing and supports
bidirectional LSP management in NMS as one entity.
Support establishment of bidirectional LSP via Associated mode
Support establishment of bidirectional LSP via Co-Routed mode
3.5.5.6 Cross-Domain RSVP-TE
In the application of ZXCTN 6300, in some case, cross-domain (AS) service dispatching
may be needed. For example, if the service of NodeB needs to be transported to the
remote RNC via the core layer router network, and if the core layer network also supports
cross-domain RSVP-TE, RSVP-TE can be used to establish cross-domain (AS) E2E
LSP.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
48 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Figure 3-15 Cross-domain RSVP-TE
When the service of NB1 needs to be dispatched to the remote RNC2, E2E RSVP-TE
LSP need be established, which is PE1->PE3->SR1->SR2->PE4.
RSVP-TE can specify cross-domain edge node, define loose ER-Hop, calculate path
using CSPF in the domain, establish an E2E cross-domain LSP in this way and thereby
provide PW service between PE1 and PE4.
3.5.5.7 RSVP-TE GR
Restart of RSVP-TE control plane will cause LSR restart and data flow interruption of its
neighbor. RSVP-TE Graceful Restart mechanism can be used to reduce the impact of
RSVP-TE control plane restart.
ZXCTN 6300 supports the following functions:
Configuration mechanism: The user can enable and disable RSVP-TE GR and
relevant timer.
LSR can remain forwarding state when RSVP-TE control plane is restarted.
When the number of messages loss is detected exceed the limit, RSVP-TE GR will
also be triggered. Other non-LDP faults such as board reset and interface down will
not trigger GR.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 49
The head node, intermediate node and end node of the link established by
RSVP-TE all support RSVP-TE GR.
In case of co-networking of GR and FRR, the right operation sequence can be
adopted to avoid irrecoverable faults when nodes and auxiliary restart nodes.
3.6 MPLS L2 VPN
MPLS L2 VPN is divided to VPLS and VPWS. VPWS is applicable to point-to-point
networking mode. VPLS can support point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint
networking mode. In point of the user, the whole MPLS network is a L2 switching network
through which L2 connection can be established between different sites. ZXCTN 6300
equipment supports complete VPWS and VPLS functions.
3.6.1 VPWS
VPWS (Virtual Private Wire Service) is a L2 tunnel technology under MPLS technology,
used to provide point-to-point virtual private wire service. The PE equipment at the edge
of operator’s network and P equipment inside the operator’s network are all equipment to
be maintained and managed by the operator. The customer edge (CE) equipment
access the system via Ethernet link. VPWS transmits user L2 data transparently point to
point in MPLS networks.
Figure 3-16 VPWS basic model
ZXCTN 6300 product supports VPWS, including:
Access AC types support: port, port + VLAN, port + QinQ, AC access of ATM
service and TDM service is supported.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
50 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
For VPWS NNI-side interfaces, all NNI interfaces including Ethernet, ML-PPP and
GRE should be supported.
PW establishment and maintenance:
Support static configuration, establishment and maintenance of PW.
Support dynamic establishment and maintenance of PW using LDP
extended signaling via Martini mode, in compliance with RFC 4447
(Packet PW) and RFC 5287 (TDM PW).
Extended LDP protocol also supports the following functions besides the basic
functions:
Support TLV that extends standard LDP to carry PW ID, including 128
types PW ID FEC TLV and 129 type general PW ID FEC TLV.
During PW establishment, adopt DU (downstream unsolicited) mode for
label distribution sequence and label retention mode for liberal label
retention.
Support the negotiation of PW data interface parameters, including the
negotiation of MTU, maximal number of ATM cascade cells and
fragmentation capability.
Support control word negotiation.
Support PW connectivity test mechanism and method (VCCV).
Support PW state notification.
VPWS tunnel technology can base on static LSP, LDP LSP or RSVP-TE LSP.
3.6.2 VPLS
VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service), integrating the advantages of Ethernet and MPLS
technology, is a multipoint-to-multipoint L2 VPN technology. VPLS emulates all functions
of traditional LAN, with a purpose to connect multiple Ethernet sites that is scattered in
area via the operator’s IP/MPLS backbone network and make them work like a LAN.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description

Support VPLS forwarding plane encapsulation technology.
Support MAC address aging function.
Support controlling the number of MAC address tables under each VPN
Support static MAC; Enable and disable MAC address learning function.
Support TAG/RAW mode.
3.6.3 H-VPLS (Hub-Spoke)
VPLS requires full connection between PE. As a result, when VPLS network scale is
large, the number of PWs is huge; PW signaling overhead is high; and network
management and expansion will be very complicated. H-VPLS divides PE to UPE and
NPE. UPE is mainly used to connect CE and service provider network as MTU to access
VPN; NPE is located at the edge of the core areas of VPLS network, providing
transparent transmission of user messages on core network. UPE need not be
connected with all NPE; full connection only needs be established between NPE. By
classification, H-VPLS reduces the number of PW and signaling load.
LSP access mode
As aggregation equipment MTU, UPE is accessed to the link U-PW only by a virtual
connection (to establish U-PW, establish VSI instance on NPE and UPE equipment,
specify peers and the PWID on the two devices must be the same), and no virtual
connection is established between UPE and other opposite ends.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 53
Figure 3-18 H-VPLS (Hub-Spoke)
Data forwarding flow is as follows:
UPE sends the message from CE to NPE 1 and places in VC label corresponding to
U-PW (VC label distributed to NPE 1 as a multi-PW multiplexing separation sign).
After receiving the message, NPE 1 first decides VSI of the message according to
the VC label, and then presses in VC label corresponding to N-PW according to the
destination MAC and then forwards this message.
After receiving the message from N-PW side, NPE 1 presses in VC label
corresponding to U-PW and sends the message to UPE, and then UPE forwards
the message to CE.
When data exchange between CE 1 and CE 2 is one between local CEs, if UPE has
bridging capability, UPE will complete message forwarding between the two directly
without sending the message to NPE 1. However, for the first data message or broadcast
message with destination MAC unknown, UPE will still forward the message to NPE1 via
U-PW while broadcasting the data to CE2 and then NPE copies the message and
forwards it to the opposite-end CE.
ZXCTN 6300 supports H-VPLS, in compliance with draft-ietf-l2vpn_vpls_ldp.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description

3.6.4 Multi-Segment Pseudo-Wire
Pseudo-wire is usually in single segment E2E mode. However, in the following three
cases, a single-segment pseudo-wire cannot meet the requirement:
The source and sink PEs of the service are not in the same domain (AS) and
signaling connection or tunnel cannot be established between the two PEs.
The source and sink PEs of the service run different signaling, for example, one end
runs LDP and the other run RSVP.
If the access equipment can run MPLS but cannot establish substantial LDP
sessions, UFPE (User Facing Provider Equipment) can be used as U-PE;
high-performance equipment S-PE can be used as the switching node of LDP
sessions, like a signaling reflector to realize tunnel aggregation of pseudo-wire.
Multi-Segment Pseudo-Wire means there are multiple segmented PWs between U-PE
and U-PE, as shown in the Figure 3-19.
Figure 3-19 Multi-Segment pseudo-wire
The forwarding mechanism of U-PE in multi-segment PW is the same as that in
single-segment PW except that in multi-segment forwarding, label switching at PW Label
layer should be performed at S-PE (Switching PE). Multi-segment PW needs to connect
single-segment PW at both sides via PW switching equipment S-PE and complete label
switching at PW layer on S-PE.
ZXCTN 6300 supports static-static mode configuration of multi-segment PW.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 55
3.6.5 PW State Notification
When LDP is used as PW signaling, when access chain AC is down, LDP signaling will
notify the neighbor to remove PW label. When AC is up again, LDP will negotiate again
to create PW label. This mechanism will lead to repeated deletion and creation of PW
label when AC chain oscillates, which will affect network stability.
To prevent PW label oscillates with the oscillation of AC, PE state notification technology
can be used. It is required that PW label created by LDP should not be affecte3d by AC
chain state. The notification does not serve as the standard for creation and deletion of
LDP PW label. The way to realize this is: on the basis of Martini, dynamic PW adds
optional state parameters in mapping message and supports Notification message.
When the network is unstable, Notification message can reduce message exchange. For
example, when AC chain oscillation occurs on PE equipment, it only needs to send
Notification message notifying the state of this AC; and the opposite end will not remove
VC when receiving this message. On the contrary, in Martini mode, when AC chain
oscillation occurs on PE equipment, it will send Withdraw message continuously, which
leads to repeated creation and deletion of PW.
ZXCTN 6300 product supports PW state notification.
3.7 BGP/MPLS L3 VPN
ZXCTN 6300 conforms to RFC4364 protocol with its L3 VPN adopting BGP/MPLS VPN.
The basic network architecture is shown in the Figure 3-20.
Figure 3-20 BGP/MPLS VPN network architecture
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
56 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
3.7.1 VRF
VPN functions are mainly implemented on PE, which sets up VRF (Virtual Routing and
Forwarding) table for each VPN. Any customer and station belong to VPN can access to
the VRF table of this VPN to realize routing and forwarding separation of different VPN
customers. ZXCTN 6300 completely support VRF forwarding instances.
ZXCTN 6300 supports distributing VRF per route mode as shown in Figure 3-21. PE1
distributes a different L3VPN label (ingress label) with each routing item it distributes to
PE2. The private network label corresponds to VPN route R1 is L1, and that corresponds
to R2 is L2. PE2 determines next-hop and egress based on the popping-up VPN label
matching VRF IP routing item. In this way forwarding from PE to CE can be directly
implemented.
Figure 3-21 Distributing VRF per route mode
3.7.2 L3 VPN Access
CE is client edge equipment. Acting as VPN managed by the operators, L3 VPN asks for
nothing special from CE equipment. CE can be host, Ethernet switch or router. PE-based
BGP/MPLS IP VPN is especially for IP services (the so-called L3 VPN services).
Customers can get access to operator’s network via any L2 services, which have been
terminated at the edge of operator’s network however.
ZXCTN 6300 supports multiple accesses to L3 VPN including IP service, VLAN
port-based IP service and VPWS/VPLS terminated to L3 VPN.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 57
3.7.3 L3 VPN Tunnel
P is the core node in MPLS network. It uses common MPLS protocol and process.
ZXCTN 6300 supports the following three ways to pre-set up LSP tunnel between PE.
Adopting RSVP-TE as signaling protocol to support traffic engineering
Adopting LDP as signaling protocol without support for traffic engineering
Adopting static tunnel with manually configured management plane
3.7.4 Customer Route Learning and Launching
In L3 VPN network PE and CE have to exchange route information. ZXCTN 6300 can
implement customer route learning in the following three ways as shown in Figure 3-22.
Static route
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
Exterior gateway protocol BGP
Figure 3-22 Route exchange between PE and CE
After learning CE routes, PE transmit VPN composition message and VPN-IPv4 routes
via MP-BGP, which uses VPN-IP addresses (composed of RD and IPv4 address). Thus
different VPN can use the overlapped IPv4 address and avoid VPN-IP addresses
conflict.
ZXCTN 6300 supports control over VPN route launching via RT (Router Target). ZXCTN
6300 supports egress RT and ingress RT configuration. With RT control, it can easily
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
58 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
implement L3 VPN networking such as Intranet VPN, Extranet VPN and Hub-Spoke
VPN.
3.7.5 Cross-domain VPN
Usually MPLS VPN system architecture runs in an autonomous system. VPN routing
information can be only distributed on demands in the autonomous system. ZXCTN 6300
supports the following methods to implement cross-domain VPN:
Cross-domain VPN Option A: VRF-to-VRF. Two edge ASBR of two AS domains
work as PE and CE for each other, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-23 VRF-to-VRF
3.7.6 VPN FRR
ZXCTN 6300 supports complete VPN FRR, making end-to-end service convergence
recovery time independent from the scale of private network route, and to achieve
reliable and easily deployed networks.
3.8 QoS feature
3.8.1 QoS function
ZXCTN 6300 provides standard-based support for DiffServ, including traffic classification,
policing, shaping, congestion control, queue scheduling, etc. Network carrier configures
the different QoS for access services to provide DiffServ.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 59
The equipment supports 8 PHBs (Per-hop Behavior) defined in the standards, e.g., BE,
AF1, AF2, AF3, AF4, EF, CS6 and CS7, to enable network carrier to provide DiffServ for
users and transport data, voice and video services at the same time.
If there is no QoS or traffic classification or a message does not match any classification
rule, this message will be processed in the BE (Best-Effort) way.
Traffic classification
ZXCTN 6300 supports the classification based on port, L2, L3 and L4 packet head,
e.g., physical interface, source address, destination address, MAC address, IP or
applications port number.
Policing
ZXCTN 6300 supports traffic policing and CAR (Committed Access Rate), uses
ACL to control service access, and implements traffic-based CIR, CBS, EIR and
EBS. Message can be discarded or colored under some certain conditions. It also
supports ingress and egress policing.
Congestion avoidance and control
Congestion control can discard few packets in network congestion.
ZXCTN 6300 congestion avoidance and control
Support WRED (Weighted Random Early Detection) and queue
congestion control.
Support TD (Tail Drop) cache policing.
Queue scheduling
ZXCTN 6000 employs mixed queue scheduling which has the following functions.
Each port supports at least 8 priority queues.
Each queue supports the minimum/maximum bandwidth management.
Support WRR (Weighted Round Robin) scheduling.
Support SP (Strict Priority) scheduling.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
60 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Support SP+WRR mixed scheduling.
Shaping
Traffic shaping limits the traffic and the burst of a connection out of a network so
that the messages are transmitted at a smooth rate.
ZXCTN 6300 supports priority-queue-based and port-based traffic shaping.
3.8.2 MPLS QoS feature
ZXCTN 6300 supports the MPLS QoS based on DiffServ model. MPLS QoS fulfills
priority mapping among MPLS, IP and Ethernet messages, and differentiates data flows
of different services according to EXP value in the label to provide DiffServ and assure
QoS of voice, video, etc. ZXCTN 6300 supports two types of carrier MPLS QoS tunnels:
Uniform Tunnel
Pipe Tunnel
MPLS QoS based on DiffServ model supports good scalability and implements ETE QoS
via tunnel. The congestion certainly leads to delay and packet loss, which will affect QoS
of some services which are sensitive to delay and packet loss. MPLS-TE efficiently
manages bandwidth resources to improve network QoS, so as to prevent out-tunnel
congestion from affecting in-tunnel service. The bandwidth management and MPLS-TE
tunnel can implement the scheduling based on CoS. For example, when EF, AF and BE
services are in the same MPLS-TE tunnel, EF and AF services will be affected seriously.
ZXCTN 6300 combines MPLS-TE and DiffServ to enable IP/MPLS core network to
identify different services and create tunnels accordingly, so as to guarantee the
bandwidth of high-priority service. ZXCTN 6300 supports the QoS scheduling in MPLS
VPN and the Diff-Serv scheduling in VPN, so as to forward VPN key services in high
priority.
ZXCTN 6300 supports service based PW and maps and the PW to the corresponding
MPLS tunnel to implement service-based ETE QoS. It supports simple and easy
deployment, bandwidth planning & management to offer differentiated multiservice
management and operation.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 61
3.8.3 Ethernet QoS feature
As metro network provides Ethernet-based service, DiffServ is needed. ZXCTN 6300
dispatches service and controls congestion according to VLAN frame priority. It can map
IP message priority or MPLS message EXP priority to Ethernet message VLAN priority
for unified service scheduling.
3.9 OAM Features
ZXCTN 6300 provides multiple OAM mechanisms. It supports MPLS/MPLS-TP, Ethernet
OAM, Ethernet link OAM and BFD. It can implement fast failure detection to trigger
protection switching and guarantee carrier-class service quality of service in packet
transport network.
3.9.1 MPLS OAM
3.9.1.1 Tunnel OAM
MPLS Tunnel OAM provides MPLS network with complete failure detection and
positioning mechanisms, and network performance monitoring at Tunnel layer.
MPLS Tunnel OAM mechanism can effectively detect, confirm and position the cache
and monitor network performance within MPLS layer. The equipment can use OAM
detection status to trigger protection switching and realize fast failure detection & service
protection.
ZXCTN series equipment supports MPLS Tunnel OAM functions such as Ping and
Traceroute etc.
LSP BFD
LSP Ping expands the checkout of data layer while BFD defines a light-load
checkout measurement of data layer (the fixed frame length of BFD suits
implementation by hardware).
BFD for LSP carries BFD packets on the detected LSP tunnel. The gone-through
BFD packets data must be exactly the same with that for LSP path. When they go
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
62 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
out at the LSP egress, BFD packets are submitted to the upper layer module for
checkout.
If BFD is adopted to detect LSP defects and FRR is implemented for protection,
BFD detection period should be set larger than FRR protection speed. When FRR
protects LSP, it may cause BFD packet jitter or even loss. So when FRR completes
LSP protection, it’s not necessary for the upper layer to detect LSP failure.
Otherwise it may leads to frequent switching between upper and lower layers.
If BFD for LSP is not used with LSP Ping, parameters in BFD configuration process
should be manually specified.
3.9.1.2 PW OAM
PW OAM provides complete failure detection, positioning mechanism and network
performance monitoring at PW layer.
PW OAM mechanism can effectively detect, confirm and position the defects, and
monitor network performance in PW layer. The equipment can use OAM detecting status
to trigger protection switching and implement fast failure detecting and service protection.
ZXCTN series equipment supports PW OAM functions such as Ping and Traceroute.
PW BFD
The specific requirements and processing process of BFD for PW is similar to BFD
for LSP. The major difference lies in the fact that BFD is encapsulated under PW.
3.9.2 MPLS-TP OAM Function
OAM functions which are implemented by TMS, TMP and TMC of MPLS-TP are shown
in the following table. Please refer to IETF draft-bhh-mpls-tp-oam-y1731-04.txt needs for
OAM functions.

Y.1731-based MPLS-TP
OAM function of each hierarchy of MPLS-TP is based on Y.1731 PDU expanded
format. ZXCTN network adopts MPLS-TP and the OAM packets are composed of
Y.1731 OAM PDU & outer layer forwarding label stack. The label stack carried by
forwarding label stack is the same with that of the data packets to make sure that
OAM packets are correctly forwarded on MPLS-TP paths of different layers.
Based on IETF GACH coding format, referring to OAM PDU format definition of
ITU-T Y.1731 Ethernet service, OAM PDU coding format in ZXCTN network is
shown in Figure 3-24.

3.9.5 BFD
3.9.5.1 BFD Overview
BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) is a kind of failure detection function with light
load and short duration. It can implement failure detection on any type of channels
between systems including directly-connecting physical link, virtual circuit, tunnel, and
multi-hop route.
BFD can implement fast detection of communication failure between adjacent systems. It
sends detection packets regularly on the channel where BFD session is set up between
a pair of systems. If a system hasn’t received the detection packets from the peer end in
a specified time, a failure is considered to occur at a certain part on the bidirectional
channel between this system and its adjacent system. In this way a substituting channel
can be quickly set up or traffic can be quickly switched to other links. It’s similar to
neighbor detection part in many routing protocols with the advantage of quick detection.
BFD sends UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packets.
BFD provides the following functions:
Providing failure detection with light load and short duration for channels with BFD
session set up.
Implementing real-time detection of any media and any protocol layer with a single
mechanism.
Reducing service data loss.
3.9.5.2 BFD for OSPF
Usually OSPF implements route convergence by using OSPF Hello frames detection
mechanism to determine link status. With this method, Hello frame sending period limits
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 69
cause slow route convergence in case of topology change. BFD is a universal fast
detection mechanism. Initiating BFD between OSPF neighbors can dramatically improve
failed link detection rate, so as to improve route recovery convergence rate.
At this time BFD encapsulation is delivered by signaling channel in the normal way of
IP/UDP. BFD session setting up process is established by management plane based on
OSPF instance interface.
BFD session detects alarm message and then notifies OSPF instance.
3.9.5.3 BFD for ISIS
ISIS relies on ISIS protocol frame detection mechanism to determine link status when it
implements route convergence. With this method, ISIS protocol frame sending period
limits cause slow route convergence in case of topology change. BFD is a universal fast
detection mechanism. Initiating BFD between ISIS neighbors can dramatically improve
failed link detection rate, so as to improve route recovery convergence rate.
At this time BFD encapsulation is delivered by signaling channel in the normal way of
IP/UDP. BFD session setting up process is established by management plane based on
ISIS interface.
BFD session detects alarm message and then notifies ISIS.
3.9.5.4 BFD for VRRP
VRRP group main/standby nodes check whether the other side has failures or not by
slow hello protocol. With this method, hello packets sending period limits cause second
level failures. BFD is a universal fast detection mechanism. Initiating BFD detection
between VRRP main/standby equipment can dramatically improve failed link detection
rate, so as to improve VRRP switching rate.
At this time BFD encapsulation is delivered by signaling channel in the normal way of
IP/UDP. BFD session setting up process is established by management plane based on
VRRP group interface.
BFD session detects alarm message and then notifies VRRP group to take switching.

ZXCTN 6300 equipment supports two groups of 1:2 E1 TPS protection groups.
3.10.2 MPLS Network-level protection
3.10.2.1 MPLS Tunnel Protection
Linear protection based on MPLS single directional path is implemented by hot-standby.
Hot-standby LSP initiates set-up after main tunnel LSP is created. When main tunnel
LSP failure message is delivered to ingress router, the traffic will be switched to
Hot-standby path LSP. When main tunnel LSP recovers, the traffic will be switched back.
The protection process is shown in the Figure 3-26.
Figure 3-26 MPLS Tunnel 1:1 protection
Because of permanent Merge dual-receiving at destination end for path protection based
on single directional MPLS tunnel, it is unnecessary to implement APS protocol for
switching. Sending port is determined at source end based on the failure status of work
path and protection path.
Checking methods:
Delivery and delete of manual switching command
Link failure in physical layer or path service layer

3.10.2.2 FRR Protection
FRR (Fast Reroute) is a protection implemented by reserving extra resource for fast local
protection. It is usually deployed in network with high reliability requirement. When there
is a local failure in network, FRR can quickly switch the traffic to Bypass Tunnel with little
impact on data service.
Basic concept of FRR
Bypass: Facility Backup. Using one protection path to protect multiple
LSP. The protection path is called Bypass LSP.
PLR: Point of Local Repair. Head node of Bypass LSP. It must be on the
main LSP path and not be the tail node.
MP: Merge Point. Tail node of Bypass LSP. It must be on the main LSP
path and not be the head node.
Link protection: there is a link directly connecting PLR and MP. Main LSP
goes through this link. When the link fails, traffic can be switched to
Bypass LSP.
Node protection: PLR and MP are connected by a node. When main
Tunnel goes through this node, traffic can be switched to Bypass LSP.
FRR protection conforms to RFC 4090 protocol.
FRR protection mode
FRR is a kind of local protection. It protects the link or node connected to PLR
between PLR and MP. The basic principle of FRR is to use a pre-setup Tunnel to
protect one or multiple Tunnels. The equipment supports Bypass mode.
Bypass Tunnel is a Tunnel without FRR attribute. When the tunnel is designated to
protect other Tunnels going through a physical interface, the Tunnel becomes
Bypass Tunnel. Bypass Tunnel setup is triggered by manual configuration on PLR.
That is to say, this Tunnel cannot be embedded and protected by FRR.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 73
FRR protection is shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-27 FRR protection
Bypass is shown in the above figure. The blue one is main LSP and the red one is
Bypass Tunnel. FRR protects link and node connecting to PLR. When the link or
node fails, data on main Tunnel will be switched to Bypass Tunnel. After the
switching, the original LSP path information will be deleted.
FRR protection parameters
ZXCTN 6300 supports FRR at the following interface types: 100M
Ethernet interface, GE interface 10GE interface and CPOS interface.
Supporting node protection and link protection.
Providing protocol layer and physical layer failure detection.
Performance indexes: when the protected LSP fails, user traffic is
switched to backup tunnel within 50ms.
Head node can configure multiple optional paths for protection LSP and
permit re-optimization of LSP. The principle of path optimization is less
hops, more available resource, and smaller metric.
Supporting two types of backup bandwidth: guaranteed backup
bandwidth, and non-guaranteed backup bandwidth. With finite backup
bandwidth, backup tunnel provides bandwidth protection and the sum of
required bandwidth for all protected LSP using this backup tunnel should
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
74 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
not exceed backup bandwidth. While with infinite backup bandwidth,
backup tunnel does not provide bandwidth guarantee.
By expanding FAST-REROUTE object, users can select whether to take
backup path control at the head node. Configuration interface information
(bandwidth, link attribute, and hop limit) will be provided when it is
necessary.
3.10.3 MPLS-TP Network-Level Protection
3.10.3.1 MPLS-TP Tunnel/PW 1+1 and 1:1 Protection
In Tunnel 1+1 protection, services are transmitted simultaneously in both working &
protection channels and received selectively. When a fault occurs to working channel,
the receiving end selectively receives the services from protection channel for service
switching.
Figure 3-28 Unidirectional 1+1 protection switching
In 1+1 architecture, the protection tunnel is private for each working tunnel. The working
tunnel bridges the protection tunnel at the source end of the protection domain. 1+1
tunnel protection is a kind of unidirectional switchover, which means only the links under
affection switches over to the protection tunnel. To avoid single-point fault, the working
tunnel and protection tunnel should use independent routes.
Figure 3-29 Unidirectional 1+1 Tunnel Protection Switching (Working Link Fault)
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 75
Tunnel 1:1 protection reserves unidirectional service sending and receiving. Extension
APS protocol is transferred via the protection tunnel, sending mutual protocol status and
switchover status. Devices of both sides implement service switchover as per protocol
and switchover status.
Figure 3-30 Bidirectional 1: 1 Tunnel Protection Switching Architecture)
In 1:1 architecture, the protection tunnel is private for each working tunnel. The
switchover of 1:1 path protection is bidirectional switchover. In other words, the affected
connections and unaffected connections are switched over to the protection tunnel. To
avoid single-point fault, the working tunnel and the protection tunnel should follow
independent routes.
Figure 3-31 Bidirectional 1:1 Tunnel Protection Switching (Working Connection Z-A Fails)
When ZXCTN 6300 configures PW 1+1/1:1 protection, it supports services with the sink
source but different sink destination. According to customer service failure signal, it
implements protection switchover.
When ZXCTN 6300 configures 1:1 protection, it usually allows the protection tunnel to
bear services.

3.10.3.2 Ring Protection
Ring protection saves fiber and network resource, and fulfills protection switching within
50ms in compliance with strict protection time requirements of the transport network.
ZXCTN 6300 supports Wrapping and Steering ring protection.
Wrapping Protection
When network node is found failed, the neighbor node of the fault will send
switchover request to the neighbor node via APS protocol. When one node inspects
fault or switchover request, common services sent to the invalid node will be
switched over to another direction (far from the invalid node). When the network
recovers or APS protocol request disappears, services will be restored to the
original path. The protection principle is as shown in the following table.
Figure 3-32 Wrapping Protection
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 77
Steering Protection
When the network node detects network failure, it will send switchover request to all
nodes on the ring via APS protocol. All source nodes in end-to-end connection will
implements the switchover. All MPLS-TP connections that are influenced by invalid
network will be switched over from the working direction to the protection direction.
When the network recovers or APS protocol request disappears, all affected
services will go back to their original paths. The protection principle is as shown in
the following figure.

3.10.3.3 Dual-Homing Protection
Dual homing is a network topology in which base station services go through the bearer
network and then terminate at two service access point equipments, both of which
connect the RNC. Based on this network topology, dual homing protection is
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 79
implemented by employing some related technique to provide protection for the service
access point equipments and access links. When failures occur in the main access point
equipment or access link, service frames can be transported to the RNC through the
redundant access point device or access link.
Figure 3-34 Dual-Homing Protection
As shown above, the bearer network connects to the main and redundant GE interfaces
of the RNC through two access devices, of which one is working (device B here) and the
other is redundant (device C here). In normal state, the working path is shown as red real
line by NodeB-A-B-RNC. When a failure occurs at device B or on the access link
between device B and the RNC, related OAM frames will sent to device A. Dual homing
protection works and switchover happens at device A. Meanwhile the RNC detects the
failure and switches to device C for transmitting and receiving service frames. The
working path now is shown as the red dashed line.
3.10.3.4 DNI (Dual Node Interconnection) Protection
In the case bearer networks employ ring protection mechanisms, two architectures can
be deployed when two rings interwork with each other, one of which is single node
interconnection and the other one is dual-node interconnection. There is only one
interworking node in the single node interconnection case, so this architecture is fragile
and the interconnection services will interrupt when the interworking node fails. Therefore
dual-node interconnection (DNI) can be deployed to enhance the reliability of the
interconnection services. In the architecture two rings interwork through dual nodes with
the redundant mechanism, DNI can be adopted to ensure that the interconnection
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
80 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
services between the two rings be transported through the redundant interconnection
node in case that the working one fails.
Figure 3-35 DNI Protection
ZXCTN 6300 supports DNI protection of two architecture models shown as above, and
provides protection against interconnection node defects, link defects and multi-node
failures.
3.10.4 Other Protection Manners
3.10.4.1 Ethernet LAG Protection
Link Aggregation binds a group of same-rate physical Ethernet interfaces as a logic
interface (link aggregation group) to increase the bandwidth and provide link protection.
ZXCTN 6300 supports LAG protection of UNI-side Ethernet port.
Ethernet LAG protection can share or not share port load. In load sharing mode, the
device will share services to multiple physical ports of the aggregation group
automatically. When one physical port fails, the traffic on this port will be shared to other
physical ports automatically. When the failure recovers, the traffic will be redistributed to
make sure the load shared by all aggregated ports. In non-load sharing mode, services
only exist in the active link in the aggregation group and the LAG is only a backup
mechanism. When the active link of the aggregation group fails, the system will activate
the standby link to protect the traffic of the failed link.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 81
3.10.4.2 Ethernet Spanning Tree Protection
STP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) can be used to eliminate network loop. STP
blocks some redundant paths with some algorithms and break down loop networks into
no-loop tree networks to prevent messages from growing and unlimitedly recycling in
loop network to avoid broadcast storm. The main difference between MSTP and STP &
RSTP is that MSTP can carry out the forwarding according to VLAN message and
balance VLAN load.
3.10.4.3 IMA Protection
IMA (Inverse Multiplexing for ATM) distributes ATM cell flow to several low-rate links and
combines the links at remote end to recover the cell flow in the original order, so as to
multiplex several low-rate links flexibly and easily. IMA is often employed to transmit ATM
cell on E1 interfaces and a transparent channel is provided for ATM layers which ignores
service types and other high-level information. The mechanism is shown as follows:
Figure 3-36 IMA Transmission
3.10.4.4 ML-PPP Protection
Multilink PPP bids multiple PPP channels to one logical interface, which accordingly
increases bandwidth, reduces latency, shares load and enables link backup. ML-PPP
follows RFC1990 (The PPP Multilink Protocol (MP) strictly. Focusing on the
interconnection between E1 boards to mobile devices, ML-PPP enables network-side
services to be transferred in multiple bound PPP channels, which achieve load sharing
and protection over the ports of the board at the network side.
E1 ML-PPP protection is as shown in the following table.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
82 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Figure 3-37 ML-PPP Protection Principle
After arriving at the service processing module via switching module, service signals will
be transferred through multiple bound links. This mechanism can achieve load sharing
and protection over the port of network-side board on one hand, can eliminate
active/standby links on the other hand.
Inspection method:
Physical layer inspection inspects signal loss LOS, port link status. This inspection
period is based upon ns.
Link layer inspection inspects link layer status by using ML-PPP protocol message,
it. This inspection period is based upon millisecond.
Switchover:
The receiving end selects services as per link status.

Ethernet clock is related to physical layer but is independent to Ethernet link-layer load
and packet forwarding delay.
3.11.3 IEEE 1588v2 clock
ZXCTN 6300 supports IEEE 1588v2 protocol for clock and time synchronization.
ZXCTN 6300 V2.00 Product Description
84 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
IEEE 1588v2 is a precise time synchronization protocol (PTP protocol for short). It is a
master/slave synchronization system. In system synchronization, the master equipment
periodically releases PTP protocol and time information, and the slave clock port
receives the time stamp information from master clock port. The system calculates time
delay on the cable and the time difference between master and slave, and adjusts local
time according to this difference. As a result, the slave equipment time can follow the
both frequency and phase of the master equipment time.
3.11.4 Time synchronization Ethernet function
Most vendors in the industry use IEEE 1588v2 for time synchronization. With deep
research in clock synchronization and data networks area, ZTE thinks that 1588
message may has uncontrolled jitter and asymmetry in complex data network scenarios,
which will cause some difficulties in restoring clock and time precision. Combining
several packet synchronization technologies, ZTE proposes unique "time
synchronization Ethernet" solution, which carries out 1588V2 time synchronization over
synchronization Ethernet, and insert & extract of 1588 protocol precise time stamp over
hardware so as to improve time synchronization precision.
3.11.5 1588 frequency recovery
ZXCTN 6300 supports 1588v2-based frequency recovery function and implements the
clock synchronization via frequency recovery of the 1588v2 protocol frames.

3.12.1.1 Command-line hierarchical protection
ZXCTN 6300 enables a user to make Telnet login via Ethernet interface. The equipment
needs to authenticate login users for the consideration of security. Only authenticated
users can log in and perform configuration & maintenance operations.
ZXCTN 6300 supports hierarchical protection for operation and maintenance command
lines. The command lines have 4 levels: visit, supervision, configuration and
administration, and the login users have the corresponding 4 levels. After logging in
ZXCTN 6000, the user can only operation the commands which are equal to lower than
the lever of the user.
ZXCTN 6300 can extend command levels and user levels (level mapping) to map 4
levels to 16 levels, so as to make fine management of user levels.

3.12.2 Network security
3.12.2.1 VPN isolation
ZXCTN 6300 isolates interfaces with VLAN and extension technologies such as PVLAN
and QinQ to shield client network from carrier network for the security of client service
network, and to control unnecessary broadcast to increase network throughput.
IP VPN based on IP/MPLS MPLS-TP can isolate services very well with good QoS,
scalability and manageability.
3.12.2.2 Ethernet VLAN/MAC spoofing and attack against
ZXCTN 6300 filters illegal messages with "VLAN+MAC" to improve network security. The
administrator adds static table item to MAC address table and binds a specific MAC
address to an interface to prevent the attack based on MAC address spoofing.
ZXCTN 6300 can filter illegal MAC. When the maintenance staff is aware of the
possibility of the attack by the message of a MAC address, the MAC will be configured
manually to illegal MAC. When the equipment receives a message, it will compare the
source or destination MAC address of the message with the items in the MAC address. If
the MAC is illegal MAC in the table, the message will be discarded and the source will not
be notified.
In addition, ZXCTN 6300 applies ACL to port. By analyzing the information such as
VLAN, IP address, port number and protocol number, it can automatically filter illegal
messages to prevent network attack.

4.1.2 Working principle of ZXCTN 6300 hardware system
ZXCTN 6300 adopts the centralized switching structure. For ordinary service flow, after
processed by physical-layer chip, packets are directly sent to the switching chip of SCCU
and then to the corresponding board ports via the switching network. For some special
service messages, e.g., 1588 PTP message or OAM message, before sent to the
switching network, packets are pre-processed by the boards and then sent to the
switching chip of SCCU for termination or forwarding.
ZXCTN 6300 hardware system comprises SCCU, service boards, power, fan and
backplane. It adopts the centralized structure. The core is 1+1 SCCU which have main
control, switching and clock functions and communicate with other components via
backplane. ZXCTN 6300 working principle is shown:

Criteria Description
Performance A
Digital signal port: The equipment runs normally in the test. The bit error quantity does not exceed the maximum limit of the normal requirement after single electromagnetic interference (The maximum is 0 here). Analog audio signal port: The connection is always normal in the test. The noise signal of the test equipment (EUT), measured with 600Ohm impedance, does not exceed -40 dBm.
Performance B
Digital signal port: The electromagnetic interference temporarily lowers the functions of the equipment which will automatically return to normal after the interference disappears. There is no frame loss, synchronization loss and alarm between interferences. Analog audio signal port: The connection is always normal, but the disconnection is allowed in the surge test. The test equipment (EUT) will return to normal after the interference disappears.
Performance C The electromagnetic interference temporarily lowers the functions of the equipment which will return to normal automatically or manually after the interference disappears.
Performance R
The equipment has no loss or fault (e.g., software damage and wrong operation of protection equipment), and runs properly in the defined range after Transient EMC phenomenon disappears. The interference may affect the fuse or other defined equipment. The fuse can be replaced or the equipment can be reset before normal operation.
