 PTN Technology Choices
PTN Technology Choices

T-MPLS
• A new formulation of MPLS, being
standardized by ITU-T, and designed
specifically for a connection-oriented
packet transport network based on
well-known and widely deployed
IP/MPLS technology and standards
PBB-TE
• A subset of IEEE Provider Backbone
Bridging (802.1ah) that turns Ethernet
connectionless networking into a
provisioned connection-oriented transport
network primarily for point-to-point
Ethernet virtual connections

T-MPLS = MPLS (PW/LSP) + OAM – L3 Complexity PBT＝ Ethernet (MAC/MAC)+OAM – L2 Complexity

PBT and T-MPLS are major PTN technology choices base on different migration path

MPLS-TP OAM Overview

• OAM (Operation, Administration, and Maintenance) Basic Roles

– Fault Detection & diagnostic: Continuity Check/Connectivity Verification (CC/CV),
Loopback (LB)
– Alarm and Alarm suppress: Generate alarm when fault happens but suppress
large volume alarm through AIS/RDI (Alarm Correlation Suppression)
– Performance monitor: packet loss ratio (LM), delay measurement (DM)
– Maintenance tools: Link track (LT), Lock (LCK)
– APS OAM: Linear and Ring APS
• MPLS-TP OAM with IETF and ITU-T
– ITU-T and IETF in many technical aspects of the compromise, MPLS-TP OAM
inherited the T-MPLS G.8114 part of the agreement, but the rest of codecs and
protocols supplementary part, by the major inheritance from the IETF.

MPLS-TP Implementation in PTN
• Pre-standard MPLS-TP OAM Implementation in PTN
– Send OAM packet between MEP/MIP in PTN network. Detect fault and
performance through OAM packet exchanges, generate alarm and related
process
– Pre-standard MPLS-TP OAM
mechism is implemented in current
PTN products like T-MPLS G.8114 or
MPLS Y. 1711
– OAM packet is sent/received/handled
by PTN equipment (normally using
FPGA Hardware to handle OAM
packet). The CV interval can be up to
3.3ms per OAM packet. Fault can be
detected within 10ms when 3 packet
missed (3*3.3ms=10ms) which trigger
protection switch. Pre-standard OAM: CV – packet capture
• MPLS-TP OAM Option 1: GACH+ • MPLS-TP OAM Option 2: BFD/LSP
Y.1731 Ping Extension

Migration to MPLS-TP OAM

• MPLS-TP standards Progress

– Standards still in development by the JWT from ITU-T and IETF.
– MPLS-TP is based on PWE3 and LSP forwarding architecture which is within
IETF MPLS standards. So there are minimal changes in the LSP and PW data-
structure

• Upgrading to MPLS-TP OAM

– More comprehensive OAM features to handle the end-to-end management of
network than IP/MPLS.
– MPLS-TP OAM standards are still under development, hence current installed
equipment will have to be upgraded to support the new OAM formats and
messages to comply with Standard

UTStarcom will ensure smooth migration to MPLS-

TP OAM without any service disruption

UTStarcom Confidential 22
TN OAM Upgrade Scenario

TN705
TN725

TN703

• When MPLS-TP OAM standards are finalized, TN series can be upgraded

to work on dual OAM formats simultaneously (Dual-Mode): one mode
supports the old format, and another one supports the new format that
complies with the finalized MPLS-TP standards.
• The whole upgrade process is divided into two steps:
1. upgrade each node to support dual OAM formats
2. activate the LSP to support new OAM format.

PTN -- The Best choice of Metro Access &
Aggregation (2)

Meet Network Migration’s Requirements

• Multi-services support
• Support ATM, TDM, Ethernet services in an unified access/aggregation
network.
• Topology free:
• support any topology as the existing fiber network
• Operation continuity:
• Utilize rich transport operation experience in past decade;
• Centralized powerful network management system (NMS)
• Simply training and quick knowledge transfer;
• Continue to use the existing operation process and can change step by
step;
• Hierarchical OAM for quick fault isolation and trouble shooting
• High accuracy sync clock and time delivery

PTN -- The Best choice of Metro Access &
Aggregation (3)
Lower CAPEX and OPEX
• Network and equipment simplify：
• Aggregated traffic (from access to core) dominate Metro access &aggregation
network
• Connection oriented and mainly permanent network connection circuit
• No addressing and routing is required at most of time (fixed route)
• No full Mesh network existing at Metro access & aggregation
• Reduce the complexity of network operation
• Hierarchical network structure– Independent packet transport layer; Not peer
IP/MPLS Network; avoid large scale of IP/MPLS domain
• Manage and maintenance much more equipments per engineer simultaneously
(hundreds vs. tens)
