FEATURES
A family of platform variants
The Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS family
provides deployment flexibility with a
broad range of platform variants.
The 7210 SAS-D is an intelligent Ethernet-
edge demarcation device that extends
retail and wholesale SLA-based VPLS
and VLL services to the customer edge.
For service demarcation applications in
3G and LTE wholesale mobile backhaul
service delivery networks, it is also
available in a variant that supports ITU-T
Synchronous Ethernet (Sync-E) and
extended temperature ranges (ETR).
The 7210 SAS-E is an Ethernet-
edge access device with twelve
10/100/1000BASE-TX copper ports and
twelve 100/1000BASE (SFP) fiber ports,
and is designed for VPLS and VLL services
delivery in multi-tenant offices.
The 7210 SAS-M is an MPLS-enabled
Ethernet-edge and aggregation device. It
supports IP, MPLS, Ethernet, PBB, 10GigE
ports and is available in an ETR variant.
As a customer edge device, it provides
a common platform to enable VPLS, VLL
and IP VPN services. It also supports the
configuration of VPLS and VLL services
using PBB. As an aggregation device, it
extends the reach of the MPLS-enabled
Carrier Ethernet network into smaller
offices and distributed hub sites and
supports provider edge (PE) functionality
to aggregate customer edge (CE) routers
in IP VPN service delivery. For added
flexibility, the 7210 SAS-M offers optional
service expansion modules to support
circuit emulation services (CES) over
T1/E1 interfaces and two 10GigE ports
for higher speed uplinks, larger 10GigE
mesh configurations and support for
10GigE CPE.
 The 7210 SAS-X is a high performance
MPLS-enabled aggregation device.
Designed for more service-intensive
smaller network location applications,
its powerful CPU is suitable where higher
scale switching and routing capabilities
are essential. In addition to supporting
all the IP, MPLS and Ethernet capabilities
of the Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS-M, the
7210 SAS-X supports a larger number
of service queues, packet buffers, label
switched paths (LSPs), counters, MAC
addresses, routing table entries and
ACLs for increased service scale.
Advanced H-QoS
Todays enterprise is looking to
consolidate video, data, voice and
Internet services over a single uplink.
The advanced quality of service (QoS)
capabilities of the Alcatel-Lucent 7210
SAS-D, Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS-E and
Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS-M apply differen-
tiated treatment to each service (i.e., class
of traffic) in accordance with performance
profiles to converge multiple services over
a single uplink. Performance parameters
include committed and peak information
rates (CIR/PIR) along with delay, jitter
and packet loss. For further service
differentiation, the H-QoS capabilities on
the 7210 SAS-D and 7210 SAS-M allow
individual services to burst up to line rate
when aggregate bandwidth is available,
while ensuring the performance param-
eters of each individual service is met.
The Alcatel-Lucent7210 SAS-X supports
advanced H-QoS with ingress and egress
queuing and shaping. The 7210 SAS-X
also supports dynamic buffer allocation,
allowing buffers to be allocated on a
per-service basis for added SLA flexibility.
Extensive OAM tools with
performance measurement
To support differentiated services
managed to the customer edge, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS provides a suite
of per-service OAM tools. These tools
include ITU-T Y.1731 with Synthetic Loss
Measurement (SLM), IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE
802.3ah, VPLS OAM and local service
mirroring. The 7210 SAS hardware-
based implementation of ITU-T Y.1731
enables accurate measurements of key
performance parameters such as jitter,
latency and packet loss. In addition, these
tools are also integrated into the 5620
SAM for accelerated service activation
and rapid troubleshooting. The 7210 SAS
also integrates the OAM toolkit into the
ALCATEL-LUCENT 7210 SAS | RELEASE 4.0

2
5620 SAMs Service Assurance Agent
(SAA) to proactively monitor and measure
SLA parameters end-to-end and quickly
identify problems before they become
service affecting.
The auto-configuration feature gives the
Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS plug-and-play
capabilities. After the end user powers up
the system and connects the uplink, the
7210 SAS uses the network to automate
service activation. To test end-to-end
VPLS and VLL service configuration and
diagnose problems using a hand-held
Ethernet test device, the 7210 SAS sup-
ports port loopback with MAC swap. The
extensive SR OS accounting framework
of the 7210 SAS tracks detailed customer
usage on a per-port, per-service or per-
application basis to support tiered service
offerings and flexible billing models.
Innovative SLAs to the
customer edge
As a customer edge device, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS has the service
richness to enable differentiated SLA-
based Carrier Ethernet and IP VPN retail
and wholesale services. With support for
H-QoS and an extensive OAM toolkit, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS-D extends SLAs
of more enhanced VPLS and VLL services
to the customer premise. Innovative SLA
attributes include dynamic bandwidth
allocation, guaranteed QoS per applica-
tion, the ability to monitor and measure
key SLA performance parameters and
resilient uplinks using multi-chassis ITU-T
G.8032v2 and IEEE 802.3.ad. In addition,
service assurance and management are
simplified by the 5620 SAM.
With support for all the service capabili-
ties of the Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS-D, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS-M adds IP VPN
services, VPLS and VLL services config-
ured with MPLS and PBB, MPLS resiliency
mechanisms, 10GigE access and uplink
ports and CES to the service mix all on
a single variant.

uplinks and leading MPLS, Ethernet and
PBB capabilities, the Alcatel-Lucent
7210 SAS-X and Alcatel-Lucent 7210
SAS-M are ideally suited to aggregating
business, mobile and residential services
in smaller network locations. For more
service-intensive environments, including
those supporting services with burst
requirements over the 10GigE uplinks,
the 7210 SAS-X provides increased
service scale.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS-X and
7210 SAS-M support IP, MPLS, Ethernet
and PBB across all ports. The IP/MPLS
features include border gateway protocol
(BGP)-based MPLS VPNs, VPLS, VLLs,
resource reservation protocol traffic
engineering (RSVP-TE), label distribution
protocol (LDP) and targeted LDP (T-LDP).
For PBB implementations, Backbone Edge
Bridge (BEB) and Backbone Core Bridge
(BCB) functionality as defined in IEEE
802.1ah are supported for PBB-based
services. The 7210 SAS-X and 7210
SAS-M also support ITU-T Sync-E for
the distribution of accurate timing and
synchronization over Carrier Ethernet
infrastructures.
MPLS resiliency mechanisms include fast
reroute (FRR) with facility and detour
LSPs, primary and secondary LSPs,
active-standby pseudo wire redundancy
for VPLS and VLL services, and MPLS-TE
graceful shutdown. For Ethernet resiliency,
the 7210 SAS-X and 7210 SAS-M support
multi-chassis ITU-T G.8032v2 to intercon-
nect rings and multi-chassis IEEE 802.3.ad
(link aggregation control protocol [LACP])
to support link aggregation across multiple
chassis in dual-homing configurations.
Simplified management end-to-end
The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM simplifies
the management of Carrier Ethernet
and IP VPN services with end-to-end
reach, an integrated SR OS OAM toolkit, a
comprehensive fault management system,
per-service provisioning using GUI-based
templates, and customized service portal
capabilities. The 5620 SAMs service test
manager uses the SR OS OAM toolkit,
accounting framework and threshold
crossing alerts to continuously monitor
SLA compliance and measure SLA
performance.

Connected Partner program offers certi-
fied integration with industry-leading OSS
applications, including service assurance,
provisioning and traffic engineering.
 BENEFITS
Increase revenues with
differentiated services
As business services commoditize, service
differentiation becomes the key to unlock-
ing new revenue streams and establishing
protection against price erosion. As part of
an end-to-end solution, the Alcatel-Lucent
7210 SAS and Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM
enable SLA-based Carrier Ethernet and/or
IP VPN services with compelling service
attributes for retail and wholesale ser-
vices. Enterprise customers that operate
their own networks can also use stringent
SLAs to ensure application availability for
their internal users.
Data, video and voice services can be
converged under one uplink supporting
multiple services under one SLA with
per-service QoS, bandwidth guarantees,
and the ability for each service to burst
up to line rate. Tiered service models with
flexible billing options allow the service
provider to tailor service packages based
on the performance and availability
requirements of the enterprise. Extensive
service assurance capabilities with proac-
tive SLA enforcement give the service
provider the ability to continuously
monitor and measure traffic end-to-end.
Self-service customer portals with custom-
ized on-demand management capabilities
add an intangible service dimension to
improve the overall quality of experience.
These capabilities include the ability to
make service changes, monitor service
quality, view real-time reports, and change
application treatment and diagnostics.
Cost-optimize Carrier Ethernet build-outs
With seven compact variant options, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS cost-effectively
scales the Carrier Ethernet infrastructure
and simplifies the service access network
with one platform to support deploy-
ments from the customer edge to smaller
network locations. The MPLS-enabled
variants help reduce costs by consolidat-
ing next-generation business, residential,
business and mobile services over the
same device.
As part of an end-to-end SR solution, the
cohesive integration of SR OS and the
Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM helps reduce
the cost of service delivery. Collectively
contributing to significant operational
savings are the following factors: coherent
QoS and OAM service reach over metro,
national and international geographies,
seamless integration with the IP/MPLS
service edge, streamlined network
upgrades along with reduced training,
testing cycle and OSS integration costs.
Maximize operational efficiency
and service assurance
The tight integration of Alcatel-Lucent
5620 SAM and Alcatel-Lucent 5650 CPAM
with SR OS provides the operational intel-
ligence to maximize operational efficiency
and improve service assurance, thereby
reducing operational expenditures. The
5620 SAM enables rapid provisioning
that expedites time to market while
minimizing the chance of operator error.
It also provides proactive troubleshoot-
ing to identify problems before they
affect customers, resulting in improved
customer satisfaction. The 5620 SAMs
SAA and the SR OS accounting framework
enable continuous SLA management for
increased value to end users with SLA
monitoring, performance measurement of
service metrics, predicting SLA threshold
violations, accurate billing and storing test
results. The plug-and-play capabilities of
the Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS along with
