MST only no boundary functionality (i.e. peer in the port must be running MST)

Outer Encap VLAN to MST Instance Mapping No changes to existing MST configuration
Support for unambiguous Outer Encap VLAN
Outer VLAN Tag must be unique (i.e. encap 100 or encap 100 second 200-400)

No Support for the following service instances

Default
Untagged Range or list on outer tag (i.e. encap 100,200 or encap 100-200)

MST on EVC Design Points (cont)

Automatic addition of Bridge-domain into the VLAN Database

VLAN local significance: MST acts on outer Encap VLAN. Bridging acts on Bridge-domain
Object visible to MST: [Port, Outer VLAN] aka VPORT Single MST Region, 64+1 MST Instances VPLS or Switchport in the core No TCN grouping when merging multiple customers in the same outer Vlan, TCN affects all customers on that MST instance

24

VPLS Scalability
Nothing changed except the maximum peers per VFI Maximum peers per VFI increase to be 110 if the uplink is SIP-400 or ES20 or ES40
If uplink is SIP-600, the number will drop to 60 per system unless you manually configure it to be 110. In this case, SIP-600 wont be selected as VPLS uplink even if its present and configured on the box AGG1-rossi(config)#platform vfi max-peers ?
<110-110> max peers value allowed 60 or 110 <60-60> max peers value allowed 60 or 110

2009 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cisco Confidential

25

EVC Scalability
32k EVCs per box independent of service (local connect, xconnect, bridge-domain)

16K EVCs per line card (ES20, ES40, SIP-400) 8K EVCs per port without QoS, 4K EVCs per port with QoS
Maximum EVCs (service instances) per Bridge-domain
120 EVCs per bridge-domain per SIP-400 110 EVCs per bridge-domain per NP for ES20 and ES40, thus ES20 support 220 EVCs per bridge-domain per linecard, ES40 support 440 EVCs per bridge-domain per linecard

Note,
Both VPLS VC and service instance VC are presented as pseudo port which require LTL index resource. The LTL index is shared among VPLS VC and service instance VC

27

Overview
Port Channel interfaces represent aggregated Ethernet ports for both bandwidth increasing and link redundancy 7600 supports routed interfaces and L2 switchports over port channels long time ago
EVC Port Channel allows Ethernet service instances (EVCs) to be configured over port channel interfaces. Its supported from SRC release with static channel mode on SRD release will support LACP as channel protocol in addition to static channel mode on configuration. PAGP is not supported

SIP-400 doesnt support port-channel

Traffic Load Balancing Overview

Ingress traffic for an EVC can be received on any of the member ports of the port channel depends on the load balancing algorithm used on the peer device Egress traffic for an EVC is transmitted out of a single pre-determined member port. Thus the egress load balancing is per service instance

What is Video Monitoring

Video Monitoring is for video transmission quality

MPEG is the coding scheme for digitized video/audio. The network over which it transports are different
IP + UDP + MPEG <-- What we support IP + UDP + RTP + MPEG

The different transmission methods use different monitoring techniques METRICS various measuring data by using those techniques All METRICS are performance measurement data with respect to the video transmission quality (delay, jitter, latency, loss)

2009 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cisco Confidential

47

MDI Metric (RFC 4445)

Components:
Media Loss Rate (MLR): Rate at which discontinuities are detected in the flow
Delay Factor (DF): Measured as max difference between the arrival and drain of packets

2009 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cisco Confidential

48

IP-CBR Metric
Components:
Media Rate Variation (MRV): Variation in the media rate when compared with the nominal media rate (CBR)
Expected MRV = (Actual rate Expected rate)/(Expected rate)

Delay Factor (DF): Measured as max difference between the arrival and drain of packets [Same as DF in MDI metric]

2009 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

49

TCA (Threshold Crossing Alerts)

The routers can be made to generate SYSLOG messages (alarms) when the thresholds have reached
MDI Metrics: MDI-MLR, MDI-DF IP-CBR Metrics: IP-CBR-MRV, IP-CBR-DF

TCA Severity Mapping to SYSLOG

alerts (severity=1) => map to TCA severity level "critical"
critical (severity=2)=> map to TCA severity level "major" errors (severity=3)=> map to TCA severity level "minor" warnings (severity=4)=> map to TCA severity level "warning"

MSE (Media Stop Event)

MSE is a boolean value representing that no packets have been received on a valid flow for the entire measurement period. It assumes knowledge of the transport rules for valid flow delivery. The following conditions should trigger a valid MSE:
o Server failure

o Upstream network node failure

The following example will NOT trigger MSE:

o IGMP Leave o SPT (shortest path tree) switchover o RPF path change

VideoMon metrics can be collected on both ingress and egress interfaces

Ingress:
Egress:

Pros: Less configuration; Single set of data per multicast flow

Cons: Provides data for preceding network segment; Deployment restricted Pros: Measurement includes current hop; Deployment not restricted

Cons: More configuration and monitoring points; Potentially redundant and voluminous data

Case Study MediaNet

The ability to proactively monitor the health of the infrastructure carrying MPEG-2 streams is essential for increasing IP video subscribers quality of experience (QoE) (MDI Metric is used)
o Case 1: many providers already deploy multicast based service through the use of PIM-SSM o Case 2: providers planning on deploying pointto-multipoint RSVP-TE (LSM)

Enable Vidmon for MDI metric on Ingress ports of 7600-1, and egress ports of both 7600-2 and 7600-3 Impairment is introduced between 7600-3 and CRS-1-2

Expected results:
- Only egress ports on 7600-3 will report error of the stream
