1. OVERVIEW

1.1 General

SpectralWave MN5300 is a new generation-data

transport product based on pseudo wire over T-
MPLS/MPLS-TP technology. Equipped with the
enhanced data service processing capability and
powerful network management functions, the
MN5300 is well oriented to the modern packet
transport network.

MN5300 enables service providers to deliver

carrier-class, standardized circuit and packet
services by combining circuit and packet interfaces,
and using MPLS-based traffic management
mechanisms and PW to support carrier-class
Quality of Service (QoS) levels. MN5300
provides a very cost-effective solution to
implement metro, aggregation and access networks,
uniquely addressing the transition from
TDM/emulation circuit to packet transport by
providing a smooth migration path towards the
delivery of advanced packet-based services — thus
maximizing return on investment over the network
life cycle. MN5300 can adapt to any complex
network configurations. It is built upon a powerful
MPLS packet processing & switching unit,
equipped with rich and flexible interface
configurations and sophisticated software features.
MN5300 perfectly supports a broad range of
services, including legacy TDM, Ethernet and
mobile backhaul services.
With MN5300, Ethernet, TDM or ATM payload is
transported over the PW layer where those
payloads can be encapsulated and
multiplexed/demultiplexed into T-MPLS/MPLS-
TP tunnels. T-MPLS/MPLS-TP layer provides
transport tunnel for the traffic to transfer across
IP/T-MPLS/MPLS-TP core network. At physical
layer, the MN5300 can use Ethernet or POS
transport technologies.
MN5300 uses high-speed backplane buses and
high capacity packet switch fabric, which greatly
enhances efficiency and reduces the overall size of
the system. The feature-rich MN5300 is compact.
The chassis is 7U (1U = 44.45mm) and can be
installed in a standard 19-inch or ETSI rack. The
outer dimensions are 320mm (Height) × 440mm
(Width) × 410mm (Depth). Figure1.1 shows the
appearance of SpectralWave MN5300.

switching capacity for the slots is shown in
Figure1.2.
Figure1.2 Service Switching Capacity
2) Pseudo wire
PWs have been the essential technologies for
emulating different types of services. The required
functions of PWs include:
• Encapsulating service-specific PDUs (Protocol
Data Units) arriving at an ingress port
• Carrying those PDUs across a path or tunnel
across MPLS networks
• Managing PDUs timing and order
• Any other operations required emulating the
behavior and characteristics of the services as
precisely as possible
The end-to-end PWs that is used to interconnect
two CE devices through the common MPLS
Packet Switched Networks is called single-
segment pseudo wire (SS-PW). There is also
requirement for PWs across more than one packet
Figure1.3 SS-PW and MS-PW
DEX-6853
Issue 2.2 December 2010
switched network (PSN) domain and/or more than one
PSN tunnel. These PWs are called multi-segment
pseudo wires (MS-PWs). Both SS-PW and MS-PW are
supported and shown in Figure1.3.
A PW must be set up before an emulated circuit can be
established, and must be torn down when an emulated
circuit is no longer needed. Setup and teardown of a
PW can be triggered by a command from the
management plane of a PE device such as MN5300, or
by Setup/Teardown of an Attachment circuit from CE
devices, or by an auto-discovery mechanism. During
the dynamic setup process, the PE devices need to
exchange information e.g., to learn each other's
capability. The setup mechanism must enable the PEs to
exchange all necessary information in which both
endpoints must agree on methods for encapsulating
PDUs, handling frame ordering, the signaling protocol
to use and the information needed to exchange for
specific service. Today, telecom carriers are willing to
control the LSP path and bandwidth more explicitly.
MN5300 supports manually provisioning the LSP
through powerful network management systems.
Being service-related, one or more PWs can be
‘stitched’ into one LSP. The operator can configure
each PW according to the client service requirements,
such as bandwidth, QoS, protection, and then stitching
configuration.
The PW implementation on MN5300 supports:
• Single-segment PW
• Multi-segment PW
• Static PW setup/teardown via Command Line
Interface or through network management system
• PW VCCV: in-band management
• - ICMP Ping
• - LSP Ping
• PW Convergence into one LSP tunnel
3

3) T-MPLS/MPLS-TP Packet Switching
Network
MN5300 is more focused on connection-oriented
circuits. When a PW needs to traverse a common
path, a Label Switched Path (LSP) should be
established in advance using management or T-
MPLS/MPLS-TP MPLS signaling protocols. At
the ingress Label Switch Router (LSR), each PW is
assigned a tunnel label and is transmitted to the
downstream. MN5300 supports Diff-Serv in T-
MPLS/MPLS-TP MPLS network. At the ingress
node of the Diff-Serv T-MPLS/MPLS-TP MPLS
network, the PWs would be mapped with an EXP
Code Point (CP) which corresponds to their
different Behavior Aggregate (BA). Up to 8 BAs
can be supported by one LSP corresponding to one
PW, and one PW may order more than one BA.
This is called EXP-Inferred-PSC LSPs (E-LSPs).
The Per-Hop Behavior (PHB) Scheduling Class
(PSC) of a packet transported on this LSP depends
on the EXP field. Alternatively, a single LSP can
be established for a single PW with certain
required BA. With LSPs, the PSC is explicitly
signaled at the time of label establishment, so that
after label establishment, LSR such as MN5300
can infer exclusively from the label value the PSC
to be applied to a labeled packet and infer the Drop
Precedence using the EXP field. At each transit
node, the EXP/Label can then be used to select the
Per Hop Behavior (PHB) that determines the
scheduling treatment and drop probability for each
packet in PW.
MN5300 adopts manual provisioning to actually
control and manage the LSP setup/teardown, as
stated in ITU-T T-MPLS/ MPLS-TP standard.
The T-MPLS/MPLS-TP transport network
supports:
• E-LSP and L-LSP
• LSP setup/teardown
• LSP QoS: 8 service classes
• T-MPLS/MPLS-TP OAM
4) Protection & Restoration
The MN5300 is designed for Carrier Class data
transport product which has 99.999% reliability.
SpectralWave MN5300 has two protection levels
such as equipment level, Network level protection.
• Equipment Level Protection
The equipment level protection includes:
The following cards have protection function for
card level.
Synchronization timing with dual bus (1+1)
DEX-6853
Issue 2.2 December 2010
• OAM card (1+1)
• SPCA (PPC and CLK) card (1+1)
• SPCB (PPC and CLK) card (1+1)
• PWIN (Power input) card (1+1)
• E1/T1 processing card (1:1, 1:2 CFP)
(CFP means Card Failure Protection.)
• Network Level Protection
The network protection mechanism is as bellow:
ATM Service Protection:
• ATM STM-1 service 1+1 linear MSP
• ATM STM-1 service 1:1 linear MSP
Service restoration time <50ms
SDH Protection:
• SDH STM-1 service 1+1 linear MSP
• SDH STM-1 service 1:1 linear MSP
Service restoration time <50ms
MPLS Tunnel Protection:
• 1+1 linear protection switching for MPLS Tunnels
• 1:1 protection for pre-configured MPLS Tunnels
• PRI/SEC LSPs on optical shared mesh
• Uni/Bi-directional MPLS tunnels protections
Switch over time <50ms
5) Synchronization
To satisfy the surging demands for bandwidths in both
the core and access networks, the packet switched
technology is replacing the traditional circuit switching
technology for telecommunication networks. Over the
traditional circuit switched TDM networks, precise
frequency synchronization was used. The access
platforms, such as wireless base stations and MSANs
(Multi-service Access Nodes); rely on synchronization
provided over the network backhaul connection, thus
assuring high QoS for end users. The ability to provide
carrier-class synchronization over Ethernet to the
remote wireless base stations and access platform is the
key to Ethernet backhaul in telecom networks.
Considering the shifting from circuit switched to packet
switched network will last for some time, the MN5300
supports following synchronization modes.
• SDH synchronization mode
The following functional hierarchy defined in ITU-T
G.783 is implemented in the MN5200 clock system.
• Synchronous Ethernet
MN5200 supports 10GE/GE/FE Synchronous Ethernet
feature, this clock complies with ITU-T
Recommendation G.8262.
• IEEE1588v2 (future support)
MN5200 supports IEEE 1588V2 protocol to achieve the
4

real-time synchronization.
6) External Alarm
The MN5300 provides four external alarm inputs
and four remote alarm outputs. The MN5300
external alarm inputs can be used to detect events
such as temperature threshold-crossing, access
permissions, etc. The MN5300 will report the
external alarm to the NMS.
Through a remote alarm output, the MN5300 can
output an alarm of the chassis to the monitoring
center of the equipment room and prompt the
people on duty with visual or audible alarms.
External alarm input and remote alarm output are
useful in daily maintenance, especially for
monitoring systems in unattended equipment
rooms. Effective environment monitoring can
tremendously improve overall service stability and
reliability.
