MPLS-TP Intro

MPLS-TP is the result of a

joint effort between the ITU-T
and the IETF.

MPLS-TP is a subset of MPLS

with extensions to support the
requirements for transport
networks.

MPLS-TP OAM Dispute

IETF working on extensions of OAM tools.
! ITU-T working on approval of ITU-T 8113.1 and ITU-T 8113.2. This is to
be discussed in WTSA-12. To be held in Dubai from today.
! ITU-T waiting for IETF to assign an OAM Channel Type to differentiate
between OAM PDUs.

MPLS-TP testing in JRA1 T1

Main testing:
!
MPLS-TP architecture.
!
Services (Point-to-point, multipoint-to-multipoint).
!
MPLS-TP OAM.
BFD demo.
LSP ping.
ITU-T Y.1731 demo (CV, LM and DM).
!
1+1 protection with BFD.
!
1+1 protection with CV and dDEG.
!
Management system.
!
Control plane.
Topology discovery.
Tunnel and PW creation.

MPLS-TP testing during Y4:

!
In-house testing with ALU 1850 TSS platform.

MPLS-TP Conclusions and questions

Main conclusions:
! Implementations not fully mature.
! Different approaches.
! OAM tools not compatible.
! Control plane not fully deployed.
! MPLS-TP and IP/MPLS seamless interoperability not ready.
! MPLS-TP in MSPP platforms can be an advantage for organizations with
legacy networks.
! IP/MPLS networks can make good use of new OAM tools, new protection
and restoration capabilities, and maybe NMS to simplify operations.
! Use of end-to-end multi-segment MPLS-TP tunnels to transport services
requires vendor interoperability.
Open questions for tomorrow:
! MPLS-TP vs IP/MPLS or PBB-TE.
! MPLS-TP instead of OTN?
! Ethernet OAM or MPLS-TP OAM?
! Control plane or NMS?
