Requiring Carrier Ethernet Networks to Evolve

Packet Vs. TDM Transport
Chart from Infonetics, Text from DT

TDM transport of packets is no longer economically

viable, lacks statistical multiplexing which makes it very
expensive
Full transformation to NGN needs
to occur from core to customer
Long term vision is critical, this will be the network for the
next decade
What is the most effective
technology choice that will:
–Minimize CapEx and OpEx?
–Provide carrier class service delivery?
–Maximize service agility?

Carriers want the deterministic attributes of transport

networks with the flexibility of the internet

L2 – Transport
Technology Review

• Two technologies for L2 transport over MPLS:

– Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS)
• Used for L2 point-to-point link over MPLS cloud
• No MAC learning involved
– Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS)
• Used for multipoint L2 connections
• Collection of pseudowires tied together by a Virtual Forwarding
Interface (VFI)
• MAC addresses learned on VFI
• Traffic forwarding based on destination MAC addresses
• H-VPLS, an extension of VPLS

(Pseudowire)

• Attachment Circuit (AC)—Connection to Aggregation using an Ethernet VLAN

• Virtual Circuit (Pseudowire)—EoMPLS tunnel between PEs using a full mesh
• Virtual Forwarding Instance (VFI)—A virtual L2 bridge instance that connects ACs to VCs (PWs);
VFI=VLAN=broadcast domain
• Enhanced with BGP based Autodiscovery (RFC607)
• Scalability issues almost solved via H-VPLS and state-of-the-art NPU technology (2M MAC address/chip)

 What is MPLS-TP?
• MPLS-TP – MPLS Transport Profile
– Subset and extension of current MPLS functions
– Connection-oriented transport based on MPLS protocols combined with transport style OAM and protection
mechanisms

Data Plane Control Plane

– Standard MPLS Forwarding – NMS provisioning option

– Bidirectional P2P and P2MP LSPs – GMPLS control plane option

• No LSP merging – PW control plane option

• PHP optional

– Standard PW (SS-PW, MS-PW)

OAM Resiliency
– In-band OAM channel (GACH) – Sub-50ms protection switch over
– Connectivity Check (CC): proactive (BFD) – 1:1, 1+1, 1:N path protection
– Connectivity Verification (CV): reactive (BFD) – Linear protection
– Alarm Suppression and Fault Indication with AIS (new tool), RDI – Ring protection
(BFD), and Client Fault Indication (CFI)
– Performance monitoring, proactive and reactive (new tools)

Deployment Scenarios

• L2VPN
– SP 3Play and L2 Business VPN
– DCI (data center inter-connect) (both enterprise and SP DCI)
– Ethernet exchange
• Wireline Aggregation
– L3 termination, no IP session
• BNG (distributed or centralized)
• Wireless Back haul
• L3 CPE aggregation
Network Virtualization (nV)
Deployment Example – L2VPN Service

 Active/standby MC-LAG
A A  bandwidth inefficiency
Active PW  4 PWs with 3 standby
 control plane overhead
Active Active
 PW failover time depends on
the number of PWs
Standby PW  slow convergence
LACP
S
S
LACP
 Require additional state
sync (for example, IGMP
Snooping table) to speed up
Standby Standby
service convergence
Solution1: MC-LAG + 2-way PW redundancy  complex
(Currently the best solution in the market)

 Active/active regular LAG

 Single PW
 Link/Node failure is
protected by LAG, PW is
even not aware  super
fast convergence
 State sync naturally
Solution 2: ASR 9000 Cluster  Simple, fast solution
Network Virtualization (nV)
Deployment Example – L3 Service
 CE dual homing to two PE routers. It has 2
separated L3 interface, and run separated
IGP/BGP session with two PE routers
 Traffic load balance over the two ECMP
paths
 When link or node failure, IGP/BGP
Two Routing adjacency goes down. Protocol re-converge.
Adjacency BGP PIC edge feature is used for fast BGP
convergence
 No state sync between two PE routers

 CE dual homing to one virtual PE. Single

routing adjacency over the link bundle
 Traffic load balance over the link bundle
 When link or node failure, bundle remains
up, so upper layer protocol is even not aware
 super fast convergence, and simple
Single Routing
Adjacency  State sync naturally

port represented by the virtual
―nvEthernet‖ interface on
the HOST
Satellite Fabric links

One ASR 9000 nV System ASR 9000 Host

• Install special satellite image on the selected access device to make it ASR 9000 satellite
• Running satellite auto discovery and control protocol to make satellite as ―virtual line card‖ of the ASR 9000 Host
• From end user point of view, it’s single virtual system – ASR 9000 nV System. All management, configuration are
done on the Host chassis
• Satellite and Host could co-locate or in different location. There is no distance limit between satellite and Host
Satellite have zero touch configuration*

* If satellite is connected to Host via L1 link
