Introduction

SNCP (ITU- G.805)

Ring topologies provide path protection for Ethernet or TDM signals

In some scenarios additional protection is required

The IP-10G Path-Protection is based on SNCP

(Sub-network Connection Protection)

Individual E1/T1 trails will be protected by defining two separate trails, with the same
end-points, which are routed through two different paths in the network

The end-points may be line interfaces or radio VCs, so partial path protection can
be provided for a trail in a network where full path redundancy topology is not
available

The end-points are also referred to as branching-points

SNCP (ITU- G.805)

With Wireless SNCP, a backup VC trail

can be optionally defined for each
individual VC trail

FibeAir IP-10 Integrated Nodal Solution

IP-10 IDU can be used as a Standalone unit (1U)
or in as a Nodal Solution

Connecting 2 IDUs requires a nodal enclosure:

Best economical future upgrade
Best flexibility for network designer
Easier to Install / Maintain / expand

The solution is modular and forms a single

unified nodal device:
Common Ethernet Switch
Common E1s Cross Connect
Single IP address
Single element to manage

Proprietary and Confidential

FibeAir IP-10 Integrated Nodal Solution

Up to 6 units can be stacked to form single nodal device

Additional units can be added in the field as required

Multiple nodes can be cascades to support large aggregation sites
Stacking is done using 2RU Nodal enclosures

Each enclosure has 2 slots for hot-swappable 1RU units

Additional Nodal enclosures and units can be added in the field as required without
affecting traffic

Integrated nodal solution Main units

Units located in the bottom Nodal enclosure are acting as the main units

The main unit performs the cross-connect, switching and management functions for
all the units in the node

Mandatory active main unit can be located in any of the 2 slots

Optional standby main unit can be installed in other slot
Switchover time <50msecs for all traffic affecting functions

Trail Configuration Guidelines

XC Trails Guidelines (1)

1. XC Trails can be configured only via Main unit
2. All Trails are transported through main unit(s)
3. When Protection is enabled, configure trails to go via the Active unit
(XC Trails are automatically created on the STBY unit)
4. T-Cards (TDM / SDH) are not hot-swappable, do not extract / insert card
when IDU is powered up
5. Radio VCs must be identical on both sides of the radio link

12

Proprietary and Confidential

XC Trails Guidelines (2)

5. Creating a TDM trail automatically activates the corresponding TDM port,
therefore an alarm will display next to the relevant T-Card accommodating
the activated port(s)
7. XC Trails can be configured between:

Radio to Line
Line to Radio
Radio to Radio

8. Maximum number of Trails (SNCP Protected Ring) = 180

9. Maximum number of Trails per Radio = 84

Step #2: Configure 1st Interface

Click on the 1st interface connector
In this example we selected the
PDH connector.
Your next step is selecting the PDH
port number.

In this example we selected the

SDH connector.
Your next step would be selecting
the VC number.

Step #3: Configure 2nd Interface

Click on the 2nd interface connector
In this example we selected the
Radio as the next interface
connector.
Your next step would be selecting
the radio channel number.
Alternatively you could choose other combinations as well:
PDH to PDH
PDH to Radio (above)
PDH to SDH
SDH to Radio
SDH to Radio
Radio to SDH

Step #5: Trail Verification

If your settings are correct, trail alarms should disappear, trail path is ready to be tested

SNCP Trail Configuration in a Node

Selecting Main IDU for Trail Configuration

In the following example we assume every node has 2 IDUs installed in a
Main Enclosure
Make sure your Main unit is selected on every Node-EMS
Enable Protection when you configure the Trails (excluding Bypass Nodes)
Trail ID should unique and identical on all nodes

Radio Capacity Calculation

Radio & PDH Capacity VS. Channel

Ethernet capacity (a.k.a. Ethernet L1 capacity) - Total bit rate from an
Ethernet user port. Taking into account the full Ethernet frame including the
IFG and preamble fields. Ethernet capacity is sometimes referred to as "port
utilization rate".

Ethernet L2 capacity - Total bit rate of net Ethernet frames running over
the Ethernet user port. Taking into account the Ethernet frame without the
IFG and preamble fields.

Radio throughput - Total bit rate supported by the radio link running in a
specific channel/modulation including radio frame overhead, etc.
