the 1350 OMS is a software product.
Important! When working with any hardware that is associated with any piece of
software, always refer to the safety information that the hardware manufacturer
provides for that particular piece of hardware. For example, when working with an
HP server, refer to safety information that is provided in the HP documentation for
that server. When working with any Alcatel-Lucent network element, refer to safety
information that is provided in the Alcatel-Lucent documentation for that particular

Intended audience

The 1350 OMS PKT Guide is written primarily for the advanced users of the 1350 OMS,
who typically are systems engineers, programmers, and system administrators who must
configure and monitor Ethernet or MPLS networks. This document can be used by
anyone who needs specific administration or provisioning information about the features,
applications, and operations of the 1350 OMS PKT component of the 1350 OMS. These
people are you, its users.
The 1350 OMS PKT Guide assumes that the user is familiar with the function of
telecommunication networks and has had some exposure to the X.org Foundation
X-Window and Microsoft Windows environments.
How to use this information product
Conceptual and task content

In the broadest sense, this document contains the following types of content:

Conceptual content, which is background information, is given so users can better

understand the tasks that must be performed. The presentation of conceptual
information varies according to the topic being explainedsections, subsections,
tables, figures, and screen captures can be commonly found.
Task content, which includes step-by-step instructions, is provided so users can
administer, provision, and maintain the system. The task information is typically
presented as series of tasks that follows the conceptual information.

The conceptual information complements and enhances the step-by-step instructions that
are found in each task. To optimize the use of the conceptual and task content, users
should consider the following:

The conceptual information should be used to broaden your general knowledge of the
network management system. It is best if you read all conceptual information and
have a good understanding of the concepts being presented before undertaking the
step-by-step instructions given in any task.
The conceptual and task portions of the document have extensive hyperlinks. Use
these links to toggle between the two types of information presented so you can
access all pertinent information related to particular concepts and tasks.
The task information is based on a user needs analysis that has been performed for
each management system user job; therefore, use the task information to get the job at
hand done quickly and with minimal system impact.

Format of task content

Each task consists of sections that are called When to use, Related information, Before
you begin, and Task. The intent of these sections is self-explanatorythey explain when
you should use the task, any related information that you would need to know while doing
the task, and what you need to consider or do before you start the task.
When a task does not have any related information that must be considered before it is
started, the Related information section for that task states the following:
This task does not have any related information.

About this document

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

When a task does not have any conditions that must be considered before it is started, the
Before you begin section for that task states the following:
This task does not have any preconditions.
Each Task section consists of steps. The completion of all steps, which are sequentially
numbered, is required for the entire task to be completed successfully. In some instances,
a step might be prefaced with the wording Optional, which indicates that the step can be
skipped and the task can still be completed successfully. A task is considered to be
completed when all of its steps are completed and when the wording End of Steps
appears.
Many times, the management system affords users with multiple ways to accomplish the
same task. In these instances, this type of task gives the user several Methods of how to
accomplish the same set of steps successfully.
Typographical conventions used for content

This document uses the following typographical conventions:

User input or path navigation on the administration and application GUIs is

identified with this type.

User input in the UNIX environment is identified with this

type.

System output in the UNIX environment is identified with

this type..

GUI fields/parameters and their options are identified with this type.
Document titles or words that are being defined or emphasized are identified with this

This same convention is also used to show a path through a series of menu items, for
example:
Click the filtering tool and select Node > Node Type.
All mouse selections are presumed to be left clicks. Right click mouse selections are
indicated as the following:
Right click the highlighted item and follow the path: Search > Clients.
Or, if brevity is needed, the same path could be documented as:
RClick item > Search > Clients.

Occasionally, a set of 1350 OMS features is not supported for all NEs or for all operating
components and/or environments. This set of features is clearly marked to show these
exceptions.

1350 OMS Overview

1350 OMS and its supported management layers

The 1350 OMS is a network management system that supports three layers of
management to accommodate and grow with the optical network of the Customers.
The Element Management Layer, or EML, provides the functionality that is needed to
access any Alcatel-Lucent supported network elements (NEs) that are deployed in a
customer network. The EML provides a single access point for communication with an
NE.
The Network Management Layer, or NML, provides the functionality that is needed to
commission, provision, and supervise the network that is deployed in a customer premise.
The Service Management Layer, or SML, provides the functionality that is needed to
commission, provision, and supervise a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that an
Alcatel-Lucent customer deploys to its end users or to its customers.
1350 OMS and its applications

The 1350 OMS is the Alcatel-Lucent converged and unified network management
system. It manages the complete portfolio of Alcatel-Lucent active network elements
(NEs) and it maintains the complete portfolio of Alcatel-Lucent legacy NEs.
The 1350 OMS consists of the following set of integrated, licensed applications:

1350 OMS EML (p. 1-2).

1350 OMS PKT (p. 1-3).

1350 OMS SDH (p. 1-3).

1350 OMS WDM (p. 1-3).

Refer to the 1350 OMS Getting Started Guide for a more detailed system description.
1350 OMS EML

The 1350 OMS EML application provides element level management (EML) capabilities
for both Alcatel-Lucent ANSI and ETSI NEs. Its set of protocol adapters supports basic
NE functions such as NE MIB backup/restore and software downloads. Because the 1350
OMS provides all of the element layer functions that are required to manage the deployed
network, it requires to deploy also the 1350 OMS EML application.

1350 OMS HA

The 1350 OMS supports High Availability (HA) as an added value module, which is
referred to as the 1350 OMS HA. The 1350 OMS HA software package is installed on top
of an already installed and configured NML and EML platform and independently of any
other application such as the 1350 OMS SDH, 1350 OMS PKT, or 1350 OMS WDM, or
any element manager such as the 1350 OMS EML or 1350 OMS eOMS.
As its name suggests, the 1350 OMS HA provides high availability to these applications
whose main task is to manage transport networks. It protects the 1350 OMS applications
and its HP server platform against hardware and software failures that could be caused
by system failures (such as the failure of the system power supply or a system
component), a site failure (such as a natural disaster or fire), a backplane failure, a
processor failure, or any unplanned outage.
The 1350 OMS HA is explained in detail in the 1350 OMS HA Guide
(8DG42227GAAA). This document includes installation, administration, and user
information for the 1350 OMS High Availability (HA) feature.
Contact your Alcatel-Lucent local customer service support team for additional details.
1350 OMS OI

The 1350 OMS OI software package is installed on top of an already installed and
configured MW-INT platform and independently of any other application such as the
1350 OMS SDH, 1350 OMS PKT, 1350 OMS WDM, or any element manager such as
the 1350 OMS EML or 1350 OMS eOMS.
The 1350 OMS OI enables the 1350 OMS applications to export or import data to
multiple external operation systems (OSs). The 1350 OMS OI is a flexible, powerful, and
effective set of generic OS-to-OS interfaces (GENOS) that allow an external OS to
synchronize alarms, performance monitoring, network inventory, and remote inventory
data with any of the 1350 OMS applications.
The 1350 OMS OI is explained in detail in the 1350 OMS OI Guide (8DG42227HAAA).
This document includes installation, administration, and user information for the Open
Interfaces (OIs) that are supported for the 1350 OMS.

MW-INT as the building block

The MW-INT, which is the middleware interface, is the building block of the 1350 OMS
architecture; and as such, it is the platform for all 1350 OMS components and its features.
The MW-INT enables the administrator to install a single product or several different
products, as well as different instances of the same product on one hardware platform.
The 1350OMS applications are installed and configured on top of the MW-INT platform.
The MW-INT provides the following functionality:

Process management

Subsystem configuration
Installation/integration and customization
System management

Application instances

The 1350 OMS supports the 1350 OMS PKT application, and each occurrence of this
application in the management system is referred to as an instance. Each application
instance is managed by the MW-INT. Refer to the 1350 OMS Administration Guide, Vol
1: Common Tools and Processes for details.
Process Monitoring

Process Monitoring is the graphical representation of the system processes and their
actual status.
The Process Monitoring Control application is the graphic interface of the MW-INT
application that allows the user to have an overall control of the IM subsystem of the
selected System Instance. The PMC graphic interface is composed of a common window
dedicated to display information and to execute commands for the management of all the
processes (agents) of the selected System Instance. The processes are collected in groups
(for example Database processes, Alarms processes,...) and each group is represented in
the PMC window through an icon which color informs the user of the group functional
state. Exactly the group icon gives the summarized information about the functional state
of all the processes and their children included in the group itself.

Refer to the 1350 OMS Administration Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions for details.
The Web Desktop

Much of the administration of the 1350 OMS PKT application occurs through the Web
Desktop of the 1350 OMS. The Web Desktop provides a central access point from which
both system administrators and users are authenticated and from which they can navigate
to the Web Portal to access the 1350OMS applications. Refer to the 1350 OMS
Administration Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions for details.
SEC User Administration and SEC User Authentication

The 1350 OMS uses its two SEC (Security) GUIs to administer and maintain security:

The 1350 OMS enables administrators to create and maintain user accounts through
its SEC User Administration GUI.
Functional area domains (FADs), object access domains (OADs), and combinations of
these domains along with user profiles and the declaration and discarding of user
accounts are administered through its SEC Authentication GUI.

Both the SEC User Administration GUI and the SEC User Authentication GUI are
explained in the 1350 OMS Administration Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions.
Full system backups

The 1350 OMS enables administrators to perform a full system backup and recovery. For
details, refer to the 1350 OMS Administration Guide, Vol 1: Common Tools and
Processes, which details full system backups and recoveries, single volume backups, and
mirror configurations. Troubleshooting information is also included.
Application backup and restore

The 1350 OMS enables administrators to backup and restore a particular 1350 OMS
application and to schedule a backup of a particular 1350 OMS application. For details,
refer to the 1350 OMS Administration Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions, which
details how use the SMF Scheduler to schedule a full backup or a backup of just the
network data, the alarm data, the performance monitoring data, the log data, user data, or
the system configuration.
PM Administration

Through its Data Management facilities, the 1350 OMS enables administrators to view
the performance monitoring statistics of a particular PM database. For details, refer to the
1350 OMS Administration Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions.

Logs, Command Log, and Command Log Administration

Log files are files that consist of records that are created by the various tools (scripts) and
processes. Administrators use log files to track any and/or all meaningful operations that
occur within the application or when a tool is executed. The 1350 OMS supports security
logs, command logs, and system logs. These logs are explained in detail in the 1350 OMS
Administration Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions.
The Command Log enables administrators to parse a command log or a set of command
logs from a list of command logs. Once that list of command logs has been parsed, the
Command Log enables administrators to extract log records from target command log
files by using filters and to output that extracted list to a browser or to a table, called the
Command Result List, which is a tabular display that can be printed. For details, refer to
the 1350 OMS Administration Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions.
Command Log Administration enables the administrator to edit the command output
template. In addition, the Command Log Administration function then allows the
administrator to view, parse, and filter the Command Log. For details, refer to the 1350
OMS Administration Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions.

1350 OMS PKT Configuration

Administrator log in

The administrator must log into the 1350 OMS PKT configuration from the log in mask
as alcatel.
Important! We strongly recommend that you do not log in as bmml to start the 1350
OMS PKT session. The default administrator log in is alcatel, which is available
since the first customization. If needed, you can create additional administrator log
using SMF.
Any security warnings that appear should be ignored.
Application Configuration through SystemConfig

Open a Unix Terminal window starting from the Unix Server machine to activate the
System Configuration Window:
The System Configuration window is divided into the following two panes:

The Instantiable Subsystems pane is on the left.

This pane contains a list of system processes, which are listed as proxies, that can
have multiple instances.
The administrator can use the arrow to move one or more system processes, which in
this scenario are proxies, from the Instantiable Subsystems list to the Subsystems
List, which moves the particular process or processes over to the static list and adds
an instance number to the process.

The Subsystems List pane is on the right.

This pane contains a static list of processes that cannot have multiple instances. In
addition, this pane can contain one or more system processes from the Instantiable
Subsystems pane on the left. The list of processes in the Subsystems List will be
system instance processes.

System Configuration is used to configure processes in a system instance. The processes

are configured into groups. A group of processes is called entity, which is used to
configure, in a single step, processes that have the same configuration properties. The
group definition is a System (NMS) configuration property. Each NMA has a specific
configuration file that is used to configure its processes; this configuration file contains
specific data and parameters.
Process configuration enables processes to be configured in the following ways:

A static list of processes can be defined that can belong to the System Instance.

A variable list of processes can be defined that can have multiple instances within the
System Instance.

A configuration file can define the ID category of the multiple instances off-line.

User Profiles
Default operator profiles

The 1350OMS default operator profiles are the following:

An administrator can perform every function on the particular 1350OMS application.

A constructor can manage the topology of the network, which includes subnetworks,
NEs, ENEs, LOS, LOC, and LOM. The constructor can perform every function on
maps and NEs; however, the constructor cannot perform certain administration
functions. For example: a constructor cannot add or remove operators or perform a
backup and restore of the system.
An operator can create local maps, import saved maps, and manage services such as
Ethernet; however, the operator cannot manage NEs (start/stop supervision) or
manage the global inventory. In addition, an operator cannot perform certain
administration functions. For example: an operator cannot add or remove operators or
perform a backup and restore of the system.
A viewer can view lists of data and can view the maps. In general, a viewer can only
look at data; a viewer has limited access and privileges.

When a new operator is created through the Create User function, that operator must be
assigned to one of the default profiles. The default profiles names cannot be changed and
the profiles themselves cannot be reconfigured.

Multi-Manager Management Overview

Multi-Manager Management definition

Multi-Manager Management is a state of network management in which an application,

such as the 1350 OMS PKT, manages part of the overall network (features, services) and
using another application, operating at EML layer, the user manages another part of the
overall network (features, services).
Mulit-Manager Management scenarios

The following Multi-Manager Management scenarios explain the most general operation
scenarios. These scenarios depict a Mutli-Manager environment in which operations
occur over the same Ethernet link, over Alcatel-Lucent Ethernet enabled NEs, and/or
along with the entities of Alcatel-Lucent NEs:

In the first scenario, the management of services is performed through the 1350 OMS
PKT application. The management of some specific tuning operation is performed
through the EML/CT GUI.
In the second scenario, the management of some features, such as the ETS
Transparent technology management, is performed through the 1350 OMS PKT
application. The management of other features, such as the ETB Bridging technology
management, is performed through the EML/CT GUI.
In the third scenario, the management is performed through the 1350 OMS PKT
application; however, the completion and/or recovery of some actions is performed
through the EML/CT GUI in an emergency situation.
Note: When resource isolation occurs, the 1350 OMS PKT deduces that either the NE
or the network manager is unreachable. The 1350 OMS PKT application might not be
able to complete any future user request; therefore, the application informs the user
that the action is partially completed with a message such as the following:
Partially Implemented Service Creation.

Operational Guidelines

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Operational Guidelines
Operational guidelines

The administrator must adhere to the following operational guidelines when working in
an Multi-Manager Management configuration:

Any other operations that are performed through the EML/CT must be the customer's
responsibility and they must be agreed to by the Alcatel-Lucent local customer service
support team.
The administrator must be aware of and manage the existing Ethernet traffic, the
Ethernet-enabled NEs, and the managed NE entities on the 1350 OMS PKT
application.
The administrator must never change, and/or configure, and/or delete any entities that
are managed from the 1350 OMS PKT application by using the EML/CT. These
entities can be easily recognized. See Identifying Ethernet-defined entities
(p. 8-3) for details.
If 1350 OMS PKT application could not complete any administrator request (for
example, it is in Partially Implemented/Deimplemented state), the administrator must
retry the request or return to the previous state (for example: go from Partially
Deimplemented to Defined state).
If all of the operational rules have been followed and the administrator still does not
succeed with the request, the administrator must notify and work with the
Alcatel-Lucent local customer service support team.

In Multi-Manager Management environment, refer to the 1350 OMS PKT Guide for a
detailed explanation of the allowed and recommended operations for the 1350 OMS PKT
application and the EML/CT to ensure the proper operation of the Alcatel-Lucent
Ethernet-enabled NEs.
Identifying Ethernet-defined entities

Administrators who work on the EML/CT can recognize the Ethernet entities that the
1350 OMS PKT application defines and manages:

Traffic Descriptor (ETS)

The names of the traffic descriptors that begin with 1350 OMS PKT or another
identifier that readily advertises that it is the 1350 OMS PKT application, such as
PKT, are those entities that the 1350 OMS PKT application creates.
For example: 1350OMSPKT #<number>
Where: 1350OMSPKT is the application and #<number> is the instance number of
the application that the NE defines.
The names of the Traffic Descriptors that do not resemble 1350 OMS PKT, such as
2xVC3 are those traffic descriptors that are created by the NM/CT.

Color Profiles

InFlows
When the user labels and traffic descriptors for the ETS InFlows begin with

ETSInFlow#<number>, the Inflow is created by the 1350 OMS PKT application.
Where: 1350OMSPKT is the application and #<number> is the instance number of
the application that the NE defines.
When the user labels or traffic descriptors for the ETS InFlows are blank or do not
resemble 1350 OMS PKT and the ETSinflow is of the format ETSInFlow#<number>,
the Inflow is created by the EML/CT.
Important! The administrator must not delete or modify through the EML/CT any

cross-connection entities that are associated to inflows and/or outflows that are
labeled 1350OMS-PKT #<instance number>.

OutFlows
When the user labels and traffic descriptors for the ETS OutFlows begin with 1350
OMS PKT #<number> or another identifier that readily advertises that it is the 1350
OMS PKT application, such as PKT, and the ETSOutFlow is of the format
ETSOutFlow#<number>, the OutFlow is created by the 1350 OMS PKT application.
Where: 1350OMSPKT is the application and # is the instance number of the
application that the NE defines.
When the user labels or traffic descriptors for the ETS OutFlows are blank or do not
resemble 1350 OMS PKT and the OutFlow is of the format ETSOutFlow#<number>,
the OutFlow is created by the NM/CT.
Important! The administrator must not delete or modify through the EML/CT any

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

MIB Alignment and ISA Board Overview

MIB definition

A MIB is a Management Information Base, which is type of database that is used to

manage the devices in a communications network. It comprises a collection of objects in
a (virtual) database used to manage entities (such as routers and switches) in a network.
MIB realignment for a new ISA board

MIB realignment for a new ISA board that is under the management of the 1350 OMS
EML and the 1350 OMS PKT applications follows the same principals and procedures
that apply to any SNMP NE that is under 1350OMS-EML and 1350 OMS PKT control.
In addition, the same principals and procedures apply to any SNMP NE that the 1350
OMS EML and the 1350 OMS PKT applications control and to all instances when the
MIB of an SNMP NE under 1350 OMS EML and the 1350 OMS PKT application control
needs a full realignment after a MIB re-initialization.
The presence or the lack of the 1350 OMS PKT application is not relevant.
Operating principals

In general, several layers of management systems manage a network, the protection

mechanisms of the network reflect the same layering.
When a network is managed by the 1350 OMS EML for the element management layer
and by the 1350 OMS PKT for the Ethernet data networking management layer, both
layers supply the network protection mechanism:

The first and main level of network protection, that is of the ISA boards, is through
the 1350 OMS EML.
The automatic and periodical MIB backup procedures of the 1350 OMS EML that are
available for both Q3 and SNMP NEs enables a periodic MIB backup. It also enables
the backup to be split into different sessions that are activated sequentially and to
define, for each session, the list of NEs whose MIBs are to be uploaded (backup)
periodically into the 1350 OMS EML MIB repository.
Splitting into different sessions can be used to organize the protection of the network
in different partitions and to perform the upload of the MIBs sequentially
partition-by-partition, to avoid a concentrated overload of the systems and of the
DCN. At any scheduled time, the MIB of all the SNMP NEs defined in the job are
always uploaded to the 1350 OMS EML, whether they are misaligned.

The second level of network protection is through the 1350 OMS PKT application
and its Audit/Alignment/Reserve (AAR) feature.
Since the 1350OMS-EML MIB backup periodic procedure cannot protect the last
modifications in the MIB that were applied after the last periodic MIB backup, the
1350 OMS PKT application provides a way to audit the NE MIBs against their
internal database representations and to realign the detected differences.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

It further protects the NEs that are under its control, but only for misalignments due to
1350 OMS PKT operations. Important! Other than through the 1350 OMS PKT
application, no means exists to protect the last modifications that were applied after
the last MIB backup that occurred in the NE.
Categories of misalignment

The NE MIB audit for the 1350 OMS PKT application can detect the following categories
of misalignments:

The D+ misalignment occurs when a resource exists in the 1350 OMS PKT database,
but not in the NE MIB. This misalignment typically occurs when the 1350 OMS PKT
has implemented some Ethernet service after the MIB backup and the MIB file is
restored in the NE or whenever services or generic resources are manually removed
by the 1350OMS-EML or the CT without involving the 1350 OMS PKT.
The 1350 OMS PKT application can realign a D + misalignment can be realigned by
activating a simple Align down procedure.

The D- misalignment occurs when a resource exists in the NE MIB but not in the
1350 OMS PKT database. This misalignment typically occurs when the 1350 OMS
PKT application has de-implemented some Ethernet service after the MIB backup and
the MIB file is restored in the NE or whenever services or generic resources are
created in the NE MIB by 1350OMS-EML or CT without involving the 1350 OMS
PKT.
The 1350 OMS PKT can reserve these resources in its internal database to avoid using
them for to implement its services.

The D misalignment occurs hen a resource exists in both the NE MIB and in the 1350
OMS PKT database, but it differs. This misalignment typically occurs whenever
services or generic resources are modified in the NE MIB by the 1350OMS-EML or
the CT without involving the 1350 OMS PKT.
The realignments for a D misalignment are best done from the same system that
originated the misalignment, which is the 1350OMS-EML or the CT.

Management Layers

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Management Layers
Management Layer description

The network management is split into four layers.

Physical Layer

It concerns the physical equipment.

Element Management Layer (EML)

The EML manages each Network Element (NE) on an individual basis. The EML
supports an abstraction of the functions provided by the Physical Layer.
On a devolved basis from the management layer, the EML has a set of element managers
that are individually responsible for a subset of NEs.
Network Management Layer (NML)

NML has the responsibility for the management of a set of NEs. As presented by the
EML, the management is accomplished both on a single NEs or a set of NEs. NML is not
concerned with how a particular element provides services internally.
Functions addressing the management on a wide geographical area are located at this
layer. Complete visibility of the whole network is typical and a vendor independent view
is maintained.
Service Management Layer (SML)

SML offers services such as network analysis or Virtual Private Network (VPN)
management.

Main concepts
Ethernet Services:

An Ethernet Service is an end-to-end that involves two or more end points. The Ethernet
Service is characterized by an established topology, a quality of service (QoS) and an
internal defined Ethernet packet forwarding rule.
The Ethernet Services are implemented: directly over SDH network layer (GFP or
LAPS), over an intermediate MPLS network layer, over an intermediate RPR-like ring or
directly over a cable. An Ethernet Service can use every type of combination of these
network support layers.
A fundamental aspect of Ethernet Services is the Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC).
Ethernet Virtual Connections

An Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) is an Ethernet end-to-end connection. An EVC has

a specified topology (Point to point, Routed multipoint and Any to any) and a packet
forwarding rule (unicast, multicast, broadcast).
An EVC is an association of two or more UNIs. Associated UNIs are said to be in the
EVC.
Connectivity between UNIs is specified by the Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC). An
EVC can have a number of EVC types and a number of service attributes.
One or more Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) form an Ethernet Service.
Each unidirectional end-to-end connection belonging to an EVC is called Ethernet
Segments: a Point to point EVC is formed by two unidirectional Ethernet Segments.
Ethernet Segments

An Ethernet Segment has associated the quality of service (QoS) value, the bandwidth,
and the forwarding rules. The QoS value can be: Guaranteed, Best Effort, Regulated. The
forwarding rule is based on VLAN classification.
The quality of service information is collected in a Traffic Descriptor entity. The
forwarding rule (or segregation rules) are collected in a Traffic Classifier entity.
The Ethernet Segment is the elementary connection managed by 1350 OMS PKT.

Network architecture overview

Expand the capabilities

Network users are searching ways to expand the capability in offering transport services
to Service and Application Providers: in such way they try to generate new revenues.
To expand the capabilities means to offer new advanced communication services at a
lower price than the analogous service offered before (that is leased lines). To reach the
goal of cost reduction, the transport network resources have to be used in more efficient
way.
The management has to be able to reduce the cost in defining and maintaining the new
services. In the majority of cases, a network provider use a mix of technologies to provide
the best solution: ATM, Ethernet, MPLS,.
SDH or SONET-based networks are used in majority of the Metro Access.
The Ethernet networks used at transport layer imply a lower cost of physical interface in
terms of single interface cost and number of interfaces. Deliver must have high capacity,
scalable bandwidth with low latency and jitter.
The user requests for the support of Ethernet interface as well as the transport of Ethernet
frames.
Dynamic provisioning

The static provisioning of bandwidth (in SDH) has the following shortcomings:

No burst capability.
Unused bandwidth is wasted.
No networking, that is the transport network provides pipes.
As the number of Ethernet ports grows, the number of pipes increases too (no
scaling).

Example of network architecture

The following figure summarizes the network architecture supporting Ethernet Services:

Topologies and services

Here are reported definition and classification of topologies and services in use:

(*) EPL or EVPL can be managed using port forwarding or port + VLAN
forwarding: in this case more than one Service or EVC can be defined on a single
Ethernet port.
(**) In 1350 OMS PKT is not distinguished when the back-hauling service is related
to a single customer EVP Hub or more than one customer (BA).
(***) Both Connection Oriented and Connection-less Networks; MAC Bridging
(802.1D based) is considered a Private Service.

(****) In 1350 OMS PKT the VPHS sends each Ethernet frame to all other port
belonging to VPHS service. In ISA PR R1.0, in R1.1 the selective forwarding is
implemented.

(*****) Both Connection Oriented and Connection-less Networks; Two types of

Bridging are considered Virtual: Virtual Bridging (802.1Q based) and Provider
Bridging (802.1ad based).

Transport layer

The transport of Ethernet frames can be supported:

Mapping directly on SDH layer (GFP mapping on SDH paths),.

Implementing an MPLS layer (MPLS layer based on SDH paths),.

Using the proprietary Resilient Packet Ring (RPR-like based on SDH paths).
Whatever combination of them.

Each layer type supports specific characteristics.

SDH layer

Using directly SDH:

In Connection Oriented approach:

There is no directionality differentiation (both directions have the same
bandwidth).
The granularity is reduced to 2 Mbit/s (VC12 when Lower Order packet or virtual
concatenation is used.

In Connection-less approach (Ethernet bridge mode):

A different network approach is followed: only the best effort traffic can be
supplied.
The SDH path is used as a trunk where all the Ethernet frames coming for the
different ports are inserted. In case of 802.1D or 802.1Q, only frames belonging to
a single customer are inserted. In case of usage of 802.1ad (Stacked VLAN),
frames belonging to more customers are inserted.

MPLS/T-MPLS layer

Using MPLS, the user can:

have directionality differentiation (the opposite direction can have different

bandwidth).

improve the granularity until 64Kbit/s level.

Transport Multi Protocol Label Switching (T-MPLS) is a packet transport network

technology. T-MPLS consists in tagging the carried packets with a label and switching
those packets according to the label information. The T-MPLS packets are based on
MPLS frame formats: for example, the information cells can be Ethernet frames with
Martini encapsulation or can be ATM cells with an additional MPLS header.
MPLS/T-MPLS comparison

With respect to MPLS, the T-MPLS solution adds carrier-class OAM and survivability
management.
The OAM capabilities enable status and performance reports. The OAM capabilities are
confined within the T-MPLS layer and do not require deeper packet inspection. The OAM
capabilities enable also Fault Localization.
The survivability capabilities enable both protection switching and restoration. The
T-MPLS data plane can be operated statically through network management or
dynamically through GMPLS control plane. The granularity of the separation between the
T-MPLS static and dynamic networks is on port basis. The operator configures which
ports are reserved for dynamic LSP setup through GMPLS and which ports are reserved
for static LSP setup through management system.

The network vision

The network vision is based on the multi-service node concept. The T-MPLS is the
converged packet network technology.
The T-MPLS is able to support any service type

Ethernet
IP/MPLS

FR
ATM
TDM via CES

T-MPLS nodes can be located either at the edge or in the middle of the T-MPLS network.
They are:

Label Edge Router (LER) at the edge of the network.

Label Switch Router (LSR) in the middle of the network.

T-MPLS sections between nodes can be physical or supported by a server layer (TDM,
WDM).
T-MPLS networking layers

T-MPLS defines at two networking layers:

the PseudoWire (PW) layer, also called channel layer.

the Tunnel layer, also called path layer.

Tunnels are point-to-point logical connections between NNI ports. The route of the
tunnels spans one or more T-MPLS sections.
PseudoWires are point-to-point logical connections between NNI ports, usable by only
one service. The route of PseudoWires spans one or more T-MPLS sections and/or
tunnels.
The same tunnel can carry one or more PseudoWires.
The Tunnel purpose is to enhance scalability of T-MPLS logical connections.
The PseudoWire purpose is to carry one service across the T-MPLS network.
Both PseudoWires and Tunnels are Label Switched Paths (LSP).
The PseudoWire and the Tunnel terminations correspond to:

A label Push at the ingress LER.

A label Pop at the egress LER.

The cross connections (XC) correspond to a label swap at the LSR.

RPR ring

Proprietary RPR ring (RPRring is a technology mixed between RPR and MPLS
implemented by ISA PR), makes possible:

To have low level of granularity.

To have directionality differentiation (the opposite direction can have different
bandwidth).

End to End services

The classification features is the management of traffic type. the of traffic type can be
guaranteed, regulated, and best effort. The classification features depend on the board
type. The classification features do not depend on the used transport layer.
An Ethernet End to End service can use all the defined transport server layers: transparent
SDH, then cross the proprietary RPR or MPLS ring and then use an LSP (MPLS network)
to reach the final destination port.
Introducing the ISA ES support and management also a connection-less subnetwork
can be crossed by an end-to-end service.
The 1350 OMS PKT supplies an integrated view allowing in a simple way:

To create Ethernet connectivity (EVC).

To define new services associating EVC.

To maintain the services.

Furthermore, must be managed the MPLS transport layer and the proprietary RPR ring.

An EVC with more than one CE-VLAN Id mapping to it has the CE-VLAN Id
Preservation Service Attribute. The list of CE-VLAN IDs mapped to the EVC is the same
at each UNI in the EVC.
The Figure 11-2, Example of Bundling (p. 11-12) shows an example of Bundling. In
this example, UNI A and UNI B have the bundling attribute as seen from the mapping for
EVC1. EVC1 has the CE-VLAN Id Preservation attribute.
Figure 11-2 Example of Bundling

All to One Bundling Service Attribute

All to One Bundling is a special case of Bundling. All to One Bundling is sufficiently
important to be called out as a separate attribute.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

When a UNI has the All to One Bundling attribute set to TRUE the following conditions
must be verified:

All CE-VLAN IDs must map to a single EVC at the UNI.

The All to One Bundling service attribute is independent of the EVCs at the UNI.

The EVC at the UNI must have the CE-VLAN Id Preservation Service Attribute (see
Section Modify an edge port (p. 18-170)).
The list of CE-VLAN IDs mapped to the EVC must include all CE-VLAN IDs and be
the same at each UNI in the EVC.

The UNIcannot have Service Multiplexing.

All UNIs in the EVC must have the All to One Bundling Service Attribute.

Multiplexing Service Attribute

A UNI with the Service Multiplexing attribute must be configurable to support multiple
EVCs. Point to point EVCs and Multipoint EVCs can be multiplexed in any combination
at a UNI. Figure 11-3, Example of Service Multiplexing on UNI A (p. 11-14) shows an
example of Service Multiplexing. In this example, CE A is attached to the MEN through a
Gigabit Ethernet UNI. The CEs B, C, and D are attached through 100 Mbit/s Ethernet
UNIs.
Using Service Multiplexing, Point to point EVCs to each of B, C, and D can be
implemented with a single physical port on the CEA.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Classification of Ethernet Services

Definition of Service

The Ethernet Services are based on EVC. The service is a container of one or more EVCs.
The combining of more than one EVC defines a high number of possible services.
A specific type of service introduces restriction on the EVC types to be used for that
service.
If a different classification is required, the user can adapt these definitions and then the
related implementation in a simple way.
Each service requires the 1350 OMS EML capacity to collect Performance data to verify
the defined QoS level. Furthermore 1350 OMS EML has to be clearly shown in case of
network failure the affected services: both alarms and specific performance data are used
to guarantee the maintenance features.
Supported EVC

The main items managed by 1350 OMS PKT are the EVC. The following types of EVC
are managed:

Point to point.
Routed multi-point: an EVC termination has the role of root and the other the role
of leaf.

Any to any is a bus like topology: each EVC termination can communicate with the
others.

The service classification that follows is one of the possible service classification used as
a basis.
Each Service is shortly described together with its topological characteristics, technology
dependencies and MEF attribute mapping for UNI and for EVC.

Network Topology Description

Overview

Based on the number of terminations, the service is implemented with one or more EVCs.
The topology can be Point to point or Multipoint to multipoint.
The following main topologies used by Ethernet Services are defined:

Point to Point Ethernet Topology (p. 11-30).

Hub & spoke Ethernet Topology (p. 11-31).

Full Meshed Topology (p. 11-33).

Boards involved in Ring topology (p. 11-35).

Point to Point Ethernet Topology

Point to Point Ethernet Topology is defined as a bidirectional flow exchanged between

two ports of different provider edges located at different sites.
Figure 11-4 Point to Point Topology

The Point to point topology can be built directly on an SDH layer.

In the direct mapping, the Ethernet port maps an SDH VC (GFP mapping) or a group of
SDH VCs called packet concatenation.
Packet concatenation uses a group of SDH VCs by the LO packet concatenation on ISA
PR EA or by Virtual concatenation..

Boards involved in Point to Point topology

The following boards can be involved in the Point to point topology:

ISA E/FE/GE.

ISA PR EA.
ISA PR.
ISA ES1.

ISA ES4.
ISA ES16.
TSS.

The transport of Ethernet frames is possible by one or more LSP. As LSP, the usage of
ISA PR EA,ISA PR or ISA ES16 is mandatory.
Mixed configuration

Is possible to have also mixed configurations:

ISA E/FE/GE ISA PR EA.

ISA PR EA or ISA ES16 ISA PR.

ISA E/FE/GE ISA PR EA or ISA ES16 ISA PR.

ISA ES ISA ES.
ISA E/FE/GE ISA PR EA ISA PR ISA PR EA.
ISA E/FE/GE ISA PR EA ISA PR ISA PR EA ISA E/FE/GE.
Note: The configuration ISA E/FE/GE ISA PR can be obtained only connecting a
physical cable between two Ethernet physical ports belonging to the two cards. The
inter-working is at Ethernet layer.
Note: The configuration ISA PR EA ISA PR supports the inter-working at MPLS
layer using the Martini encapsulation on a physical GE interface. This topology is
always managed with a Point to point EVC having associated two unidirectional
Ethernet Segments. Each of Ethernet Segment has specific Traffic Descriptor
(bandwidth and traffic type) and Traffic Classifier (VLAN).

Hub & spoke Ethernet Topology

A Hub & spoke topology for Ethernet Services connects one PE to more than one PE.
The typical use of Hub & spoke topology is the traffic diffusion from a central CE, trough
connected PE, toward the remote CEs or the grooming feature. The grooming feature is
the access of remote sites to the main site.

Partial Ethernet traffic aggregation

It is possible to have partial Ethernet traffic aggregation (that is more than one level of
hub).
Figure 11-6 Hub & spoke with multi level aggregation topology

This topology is typically managed using a Point to multipoint EVC having associated a
set of unidirectional Ethernet Segments. Each Ethernet Segment with specific Traffic
Descriptor (bandwidth and traffic type) and Traffic Classifier (VLAN). The cardinality of
this set is the number of the leaf nodes.
Full Meshed Topology

A Full Meshed topology connects one PE to all PEs belonging to the same Ethernet
Service. Alternatively can connect a subset of PE. This topology is like a distributed
LAN.
The typical use of full meshed topology is in the implementation of a Virtual Private Hub
Service (VPHS).

In a Virtual Private Hub Service, a customer (typically an enterprise) requires that all its
own sites connect to each other. Each connectivity between a couple of sites can have
different characteristics, even though probably in the normal case all the sites share the
same connection characteristics).
The topology can be shown this way:

PR EA and ISA ES16..
The boards can additionally implement a transparent or a compressed transmission.
The full meshed topology can also use the MPLS network capability to have better
capacity in grooming and in differentiate service definition.
By using the MPLS approach, a Connection Oriented network is implemented.
Alternatively, by the bridge approach, a connection-less network is implemented.

Full meshed topology is managed using a Multipoint to multipoint EVC having

associated a set of couple unidirectional Ethernet Segments. Each Ethernet Segment with
specific Traffic Descriptor (bandwidth and traffic type) and Traffic Classifier (VLAN).
The cardinality of this set, if n is the number of nodes, is n (n-1)/2 .
Boards involved in full meshed topology

Using ISA ES family in bridge mode, the SDH VC acts as a common Transport Link to
distribute Ethernet frames. The involved ports must belong to the same service. The
service must be based on MAC address or S-VLAN routing capability.
To implement full meshed topology can be used only: ISA PR EA, ISA ESfamily, or ISA
PR. The ISA E/FE/GE can be used but only to control remotely the Ethernet port, without
having any feature related the switching capability.
The mixed configuration is also possible:

ISA PR EA or ISA ES16 ISA PR.

Figure 11-8 Ring Topology

The ring topology is built directly on SDH layer implementing an RPR like protocol. The
protocol is managed, in the first step, by a specific Network Management system.
The Ethernet frames are mapped on this ring protocol.
Boards involved in Ring topology

When ISA PR EA or ISA ES16 is deployed in ring topology, it still works as an MPLS
board. The mesh topology is taken into account to define LSP. Specific behavior must be
implemented to guarantee the same access capabilities (fairness behavior) to all best
effort traffics coming from all nodes in the ring.
This topology is not directly related the Ethernet connections. This topology is specific of
SDH or RPR technology. This topology is no mapped with a specific EVC.
Any EVC type (Point to point, Point to multipoint, Multipoint to multipoint) can be used
to describe the Ethernet connection on ISA PR ring. When the service crosses the ISA PR
ring, part of an EVC is implemented on the ISA PR ring itself.

Network Topology Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The ring topology for Ethernet Services is a specific configuration that is possible to
build:

using ISA PR (the board supplied by Native Network).

using ISA PR EA or ISA PR ES16.

The main differences is that ISA PR bases its behavior on the ring topology itself (have to
be deployed in this topology) while ISA PR EA or ISA ES16 being an MPLS board can
be also deployed in a ring topology and in this case it uses the fairness feature to
manage the best effort traffic (up to now this capability, that is the ring fairness, is not
managed by ISA PR EA and by ISA ES16 and then this topology is managed only for ISA
PR).
The ISA PR boards require to be connected in a ring topology way. The ISA PR boards
implement an RPR like ring.
Inter-working with the ISA PR EA or ISA ES16 is possible trough a GE physical
interface, using the MPLS labels (Martini encapsulation).
The label passed by ISA PR EA or ISA ES16 is swapped at ingressing by ISA PR and
substituted with an internal ISA PR label.
Internal label is maintained trough all crossed ISA PR.
If the ISA PR is a connection with another ISA PR EA, at egressing the ISA PR, the label
is swapped again with another label. Otherwise, if the service is terminated, the label is
popped out.
The inter-working with ISA E/FE/GE is not possible. To connect the ISA PR boards an
external Ethernet cable is needed.

Network Topology Construction

Overview

The Network Construction can be divided in Subnetwork management, NE management,

ENE management, Transport Link management, and Ethernet Segments port
management.
Subnetwork management

The subnetwork management allows to organize the network in a set of subnetwork and
build a hierarchical view of the network.
A configurable number of levels (up to 4 by default) is possible.
The network hierarchical view allows having different synthesis of the network structure.
Domain management

The domain management allows to partition a large network according to a common

criteria.
NE management

The NE management is the NE assignment to 1350 OMS PKT application, the NE

discovery, and the communication link management.
When needed, the differences in the 1350 OMS PKT management approaches, for those
two classes of board, are detailed in each related section of this documentation.
1350 OMS PKT is able to run under two independent modes. The two modes are related
to the fact that it manages the NE synchronously along with the SDH NML. The NML
application is 1350 OMS SDH. This mode, which is called 1350 OMS PKT - 1350 OMS
SDH independence mode, is global for all the managed NEs.
The SDH path management is linked to the 1350 OMS PKT - 1350 OMS SDH
independence mode.
The Q3 boards cannot be managed by the 1350 OMS PKT with 1350 OMS PKT - 1350
OMS SDH independence mode. The Q3 boards are managed through the 1350 OMS
SDH.
NE resources

In the scope of the construction domain, NEs are characterized by a set of the following
resources

Ethernet physical ports (local ports).

TDM terminations (remote ports).
Note: To avoid confusion between local ports and remote ports, the word port is
reserved for the denomination of the Ethernet physical ports. The remote ports are
named TDM terminations.

NE boards

A NE corresponds physically to an ISA Ethernet board in OMSN: ISA E/FE/GE, ISA PR

EA, ISA ES1/4, ISA ES16 respectively named E/FE/GE NE, PR EA NE, ES1/4 NE, ES16
NE.
The NE are divided in two main classes, following the way they are administrated. They
are referred as:

Q3 boards (ISA E/FE and GE).

SNMP boards (ISA PR EA and ES).
Note: The ES1/4 NE introduces the bridging capability in the network
(Connection-less). However, in ETS mode, it provides only Point to point connection
between two interfaces, without traffic classification.
Note: ES16 board is managed with the same level of functionality as PR EA
augmented with the bridging capability of the ES1/4.

ENE management

The ENE management allows the user to define NEs, networks, Customer Edges. The
ENE give the user a complete view of the network.
Inner equipment or Provider equipment

In a topology, some ENEs can be added to represent a NE or a set of NEs.

Added ENEs are internal to the managed network but not directly administrated by the
1350 OMS PKT.
Internal ENEs have the role Inner, and are connected to one or more NEs through IWI or
NNI interfaces.
The interface type of the Transport Link depends on the role of the ENE:

If the ENE role is Inner Equipment, then the interface type is NNI.
If the ENE role is Inner Provider, then the interface type is IWI.

The NEs next to the ENE and part of the 1350 OMS PKT managed network, are known
as the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE).

managed by MPLS management layer).
Paths directly supporting Ethernet frames can have fixed or variable rate. If the
path is a Virtual Concatenated or a Packet Concatenated path, the rate is variable.
Paths can be defined and configured to be assigned to Connection Oriented
management (configured in ETS mode) or to Connection-less management
(configured in ETB mode).

Details about Link Over Cable Transport link for Ethernet Services:
The Ethernet cable is the connection between an ISA E/FE/GE (Q3 board) or ISA
ES1/4 (SNMP board) and an ISA PR.

Link Over Cable is different from Martini cable. Martini cable is a connection
from ISA PR EA or ISA ES16 and ISA PR. The inter-working is at MPLS level
and uses just one label (VC-LSP level).
Ethernet cables can be defined and configured to be assigned to Connection
Oriented management (configured in ETS mode) or to Connection-less
management (configured in ETB mode).

.
Link Over MPLS.
Details over MPLS Transport link for Ethernet Services:
VC-LSP is the connection individuated by the VC label (inner label): this
connection is associated just to a single transport and then to an Ethernet link.
LSP tunnel is the infrastructure that carries more than one VC connection. LSP
tunnel is managed by MPLS manager.
Alcatel-Lucent MPLS implementation foresees the usage of two labels differently
by Native implementation that uses only one label.
Link Over RPR.
Details over RPR Transport link for Ethernet Services:

To manage ISA PR, in the ring implemented with ISA PR (Native ring), the
connectivity links need further definition after consolidation of the interface.
Links Over WDM are managed by external applications.

Ethernet Edge Port management

Ethernet ports are managed to give a customer the possibility to connect the Ethernet
Services.
Ethernet port can be defined and configured in:

ETS mode to be assigned to Connection Oriented management.

ETB mode to be assigned to connection-less management.

When Ethernet connectivity is based on SDH technology and is not terminated in the
scope of 1350 OMS PKT, Ethernet ports are considered Edge ports. It depends on the
particular characteristics of the specific Ethernet connection.

Autonegotiation

Autonegotiation is used to check the consistency of the Ethernet interfaces. The check is
done between CPE and CE Ethernet ports. The following characteristics are exchanged
between peers:

Duplex mode (half or full duplex).

Interface speed (10Base-TX, 100Base-T).

Symmetric or asymmetric Flow control Pause function capability.

Note: Autonegotiation is not available on GE interfaces.

Autonegotiation is used to warn the user when the two peers are not aligned regarding
duplex mode and interface speed. The autonegotiation process must not mandatory
choose between interface speeds or duplex modes. For this reason, 1350 OMS PKT
always chooses, for E/FE port, an interface speed between 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s.
In case of detected misalignment, the NE raises a LOS alarm.
Autonegotiation is triggered when the interface is activated. During the autonegotiation,
traffic is interrupted.
It exists a relation between autonegotiation and flow control configuration:

If autonegotiation is activated on an Ethernet Port, then the user simply configures a

preferred configuration for flow control activation. Then autonegotiation decides for
the final state of flow control (Depending on the CE capability).

If autonegotiation is not activated on the Ethernet Port, then the user explicitly enables
or disables the flow control.

On port basis, the user can enable or disable the Auto-negotiation mode. In case of
enabling the user optionally set the advertised characteristics, to allow connecting a CE
with characteristics different from the default ones. The user provides:

Exclusive 10Base-TX or 100Base-T for an E/FE port.

Duplex mode (Half or Full).

After port activation and autonegotiation completed, 1350 OMS PKT uploads the
negotiation result. If Flow Control is enabled or disabled, the user is warned.

Traffic Management
Overview

The traffic management is related to the Ethernet Service, EVC management, VLAN
management, Policy control, and SLA management.
Note: SLA management function must be confirmed and then detailed: for this reason
no further information is reported in this version, only a simple label reference is
managed, without any elaboration or control.
Ethernet Service Management

A service belongs to a given customer.

Note: In the broadband access service, more end-user customers use the same
service: in this case the customer is the ISP for which telecommunications user has
created the service.
A service can connect two or more PEs, each associated to a CE.
A service is composed of one or more EVC.
An Ethernet Service is described in term of customer, associated EVC and referred SLA.
An EVC is described in term of its end points and associated Ethernet Segments.
An Ethernet Segment is described in term of its end points (two), directionality and QoS
(Traffic Descriptor and Traffic Classifier).
The Ethernet Service is a simple and flexible EVC collector.
EVC Management

The EVC management provides the following main operations:

Creation of the EVC: type, access points, unicast, or multicast.

Creation of the Ethernet Segments: the number of unidirectional End-to-End Ethernet
Segments that must be defined depends on the EVC topology. Definition requires
Traffic Descriptor, Color Profile, policy mode, and Traffic Classifier. The route of
each Ethernet Segment is manually defined by the user. No complete automatic
routing at Ethernet layer is foreseen: it can be semi-automatic that is supplying one or
more constraints.
Creation of Transport Link: for each Ethernet Segment one or more Transport Links
are associated. The 1350 OMS PKT uses Transport links created by specific
manager. If Transport links are not available, 1350 OMS PKT requires the
implementation of the needed Transport Link to the specific manager.
Supervision: the 1350 OMS PKT provides the complete control of an EVC and
associated Ethernet Segments status management, connectivity end-to-end test, alarm
management, and PM. (The supervision operation is listed here but it belongs to
Ethernet Maintenance management area)..

VLAN management

One important feature of the Alcatel-Lucent ISA boards is the support and the
management of the VLAN tag (often called simply VLAN ).
Note: Only Edge VLAN is supported for ISA PR EA 1.1.
Only Stacked VLAN is supported for ISA PR EA 1.2 and ISA ES family.
The VLAN tag on Ethernet frames is a way to segregate Ethernet traffic.
The VLAN tag is composed of 4 bytes:

the first two are the VLAN Tag Protocol Type (802.1Q Tag Type), whose standard
value is 0x8100 .

the second 2 bits are the Tag Control Information (TCI). TCI is split into VLAN Id
(12 bits) and Priority Id (3 bits).

VLAN Tag, VLAN Id, Priority Id

The management of the VLAN Tag Protocol Type (Standard Q-TAG or proprietary Tag)
is logically separated from the management of the VLAN Id and Priority Id.
The VLAN Tag Protocol Type is managed on Ethernet Interface basis.
The VLAN Id and Priority Id are managed on Ethernet Flow (Ethernet Segment) basis.
The VLAN Id is used to direct Ethernet traffic to those Ethernet ports (UNI) that are
members of a given VLAN tag.
VLAN Tag and VLAN Id ensure that tagged frames are accessible only by the proper end
user, they implement traffic segregation.

The 12 bits of the VLAN Id permit a maximum of 4096 different VLAN in a single
Ethernet Segment.
The VLAN Tag Protocol Type associated to an Ethernet interface is used to determine
whether a frame is tagged or untagged:

If the protocol type matches the one provisioned on the interface, such a frame is
considered tagged.
If the protocol type does not match the one provisioned on the interface, such a frame
is considered untagged.
If the protocol type is missing as in the case of untagged frames, such a frame is
considered untagged.

Then the frame is subjected to the classification using the Traffic Classifiers.
The VLAN tag has a major problem when used for implementing Ethernet Services on a
transport network: it does not allow designing a global and scalable solution for switching
Ethernet frames on a transport network.
Alcatel-Lucent solution

Alcatel-Lucent solution allows the use of VLAN tag in different ways:

Transparently. The VLAN tag is passed from the ingress to the egress port without
any elaboration. The VLAN is not used by Alcatel-Lucent network but only by the
customer.
To switch the Ethernet frames. In the VPAS service, the customer must use different
VLANs for different ports (at least one VLAN for each port). The Ethernet frames are
sent from hub only to the selected spoke site.
To swap a received VLAN tag (provider VLAN) with another one.
To pop the internally used VLAN tag before to egress the frame.
To swap the used VLAN tag with another one.

The use of VLAN tag

The VLAN tag is introduced for splitting the network into different broadcast (or
multicast) domains. The VLAN tag solve security, privacy, bandwidth management, and
increase the performance.
The VLAN tag can be used to switch traffic in different contexts:

To define Ethernet VPNs (VPHS service).

To optimize the implementation of the VPAS service (avoiding to send frame
broadcast when direction is from hub to spoke port).
To switch broadband access traffic to the selected ISP. For instance, the use of
customer-based VLAN for routing purposes in the network couples the operational
aspects of the customer and network domain.

To allows inter-working with external equipment. It uses non standard VLAN tag of
other suppliers. The network inter-working can be chosen using a transit mode
(tunneling) or using a peer-to-peer model (mapping mode). Operations are: VLAN
push, pop, and swap.

To segregate, in a bridge network, different customer traffic on the same Transport

Link by using the VLAN stacking mechanism.

VLAN tag degrees of implementation

The VLAN tag management has various degrees of implementation:

1. Traffic classification and policy management. Tagged and untagged frames are
handled and the VLAN tag, when present, is used for classification (Traffic
Classifiers) and policy management (Policy Mode and Color Profile).
2. Full support of C-VLAN (Customer VLAN) and P-VLAN (Provider VLAN) frames
at UNI and IWI. In addition to traffic classification and policy management, push
(insertion) and pop (extraction) of VLAN tag are allowed on the Ethernet frames. The
VLAN tag management is supported to guarantee a correct inter-working with
customer equipment (UNI) or with external provider equipment (IWI).
3. Traffic engineering through C-VLAN and P-VLAN. In addition to full support of
C-VLAN and P-VLAN frames at UNI and IWI. The VLAN management is supported
also in the internal interfaces of the ETS network, not only at UNI and IWI.
Note: In terms of VLAN management, the 1350 OMS PKT scope is the full support
of C-VLAN and P-VLAN frames at UNI and IWI. See the description at point 2.
The description at point 3 is out of the scope of the current release. No manipulation
(push, pop, swap, and so forth) of the VLAN tag is allowed in internal interfaces. (that
is non-UNI and non-IWI) or for purposes different from the inter-working with
external equipment (customer or provider).
Tagged frame management

VLAN tag management feature has two aspects:

The management of a pop or push of a VLAN tag.

The configuration of the VLAN Tag Protocol Type at the interfaces (Ethernet ports or
TDM terminations).

The interface of the NE must be provisioned with a value of VLAN tag protocol type to
recognize the frames and classifies them. By default, the interfaces support the standard
VLAN tag protocol type (Q-tag: 8100).
For an incoming VLAN tagged frame, the NE processing has the following sequence:

The arrival of the frame on the interface.

The comparison of the VLAN tag protocol type of the frame with the one configured
on the interface. If they match, the frame is handled as a VLAN tagged frame. If
protocol types are different or the incoming frame is untagged, the frame is
considered untagged.
The classification of the frame according to the P-VLAN Id, C-VLAN Id, or
untagged. If no classifier matches then the frame is discarded.

The pop or push operation.

When a pop is performed, the topmost VLAN tag is removed from the frame.

When a push is performed, a new VLAN tag is inserted in the outgoing frame. The
VLAN protocol type value is taken from the egress interface and a given VLAN Id.
The transmission of the frame.

Tagged frame transmission models

Two VLAN models of VLAN tagged frame transmission are identified:

Mapping Model:
Mapping Model implements the inter-working with the customer edge equipment or
the provider networks, at edge or crossed equipment. The VLAN tag of the frame
must be removed (pop) or added (push) at UNIs or IWIs. The following basic cases of
VLAN tag management are described. Any combination of these cases can occur in
the network.
Customer VLAN mapping (p. 11-59).
Provider VLAN mapping (p. 11-60).
Tunneling Model:
In Tunneling Model, the VLAN tag is preserved across the network. The two cases of
tunneling are:
Customer VLAN tunneling (p. 11-61).

Provider VLAN tunneling (p. 11-61).

Customer VLAN mapping

For the inter-working with the customer edge equipment, the VLAN tag of the frame
must be removed (pop) at UNIs.
C-VLAN tag removal.
Figure 11-16 Customer VLAN Removal

Note: To avoid a discarding of the C-VLAN tagged frame, the NE contains a

classifier with VLAN Id equal to C-VLAN Id.

Provider VLAN tunneling does not allow any push or pop of the VLAN Tag between the
two NEs within the route of the Ethernet Service.

It provides a tunneling capability called C-VLAN Tag preservation.

The following Ethernet Service can use a provider network as a transport. In a provider
network, a push and a pop of the P-VLAN Tag can occur at any point in the route. Refer

VLAN Tag Protocol Type configuration

The VLAN Tag Protocol Type configuration is needed for the mapping mode and the
tunneling mode. See also Configure a transport Link (p. 19-30).
In Ethernet port or TDM termination, theVLAN tag protocol type of crossing interface is
compared with of the VLAN tag protocol type of the frame. If they do not match, the
frame is considered as an untagged frame. If the interface is not associated to an untagged
classifier, the frame is discarded.
Untagged classifier has VLAN Id equal to 4096.
VLAN Tag Protocol Type configuration:

In the case of mapping mode, the add or remove of the P-VLAN tag is supported.
Only the interfaces connected to the provider network must be configured.

In the case of tunneling mode, P-VLAN tag preservation is accomplished.

In tunneling mode, two kinds of connections exist:

The tagged frames can have different destinations.

For example: the provider network A sends toward Z only the P-VLAN frames
with a VLAN Id equal to 2. The other P-VLAN tagged frames are sent toward
another destination. See Figure 11-22, Protocol Type configuration for multiple
destinations (p. 11-63).
To avoid this operation, a low cost solution is to encapsulate the frame in a
VC-LSP, to cross the network. In this case, only the interfaces connected to the
provider networks are configured. See Figure 11-23, Low Cost solution
(p. 11-63).

The P-VLAN tagged frames have only one destination.

For example, the provider network A sends all the P-VLAN tagged frames only
toward Z. See Figure 11-24, Protocol Type configuration for single destination
(p. 11-64).

interfaces.
Policy Control

The policy control is an application to configure the edge nodes with QoS parameters,
IEEE 802.1p defines 8 priority levels and how Ethernet Service utilizes these priorities.
At the edge of the network, frames (identified by port and VLAN) are classified in a set
of priority levels and tagged according to classification criteria. In the core of the
network, frames are switched using different queues, based on their priority tag.
The Ethernet frame priority bits are used together the VLAN Id. They form just a single
value. Priority bits individuate an Ethernet traffic flow. To the traffic flow is associated a
traffic type (Guaranteed, Regulated or Best Effort) and bandwidth. When ISA PR EA is
an Edge node, traffic type and bandwidth are mapped on PIR, CIR, and CBS and PBS.
The priority permits to classify the frame in term of green, yellow, or red frames. Frames
are then mapped on MPLS layer or on SDH VC. In case of ISA E/FE/GE board (Q3
board) these bits are transparently transported.
The ingress of Ethernet frames can be managed by a policy color blind (the incoming
classification is not used) or color aware. In color aware, the priority bits are
considered by ISA board family.

MPLS Management
Overview

The MPLS management is linked to the following entities:

MPLS/T-MPLS Transport link (p. 11-65).

Traffic Descriptor (p. 11-66).

LSP Tunnel (p. 11-66).

VC-LSP (p. 11-67).

T-MPLS Transport link

See MPLS/T-MPLS Transport link (p. 11-65).

MPLS/T-MPLS Transport link

For general information about Transport Links, see: Transport link management
(p. 11-50).
A Transport Link is the image, in the MPLS Management Domain, of a Link Over TDM
or a Link Over Cable. Its end points are Transport Link End Points.
A Transport Link (MPLS) is always Point to point:

If based on a Link Over TDM, it provides the transport of LSP tunnel between two
NEs or between a NE and an ENE.

If based on a Link Over Cable, a VC-LSP between a NE and an ENE carries it.

Only the PR EA NE and ES16 NE provide the MPLS features.

Transport links, displayed in the maps, allow to rationalize and to determine easily the
route of LSP Tunnel.
The MPLS Label range is attached to the Transport link. The MPLS labels are distributed
between LSP tunnel and VC-LSP.
The operation provided for a Transport link is:

Characteristic definition.
Get bandwidth indication.

Get properties, extremities, inventory.

Characteristic definition consists of the configuration of the MPLS label range. This
operation is automatic after the creation of the Transport Link. However, the user could
modify this parameter.
A Transport Link can be a Unidirectional or a Bi-directional Entity.

Traffic Descriptor

Each LSP is characterized by a Traffic Descriptor. It indicates the QoS and the traffic
parameters according to these rules:

BE: related to the best effort. No bandwidth is reserved but a maximum number of
VC-LSP by transmission path is checked. The system also checked that PIR is greater
than 0, CIR is equal to 0, PBS is greater than 0, and CBS is equal to 0.
EF: related to the guaranteed traffic. The reserved bandwidth is equal to CIR and PIR
equal to CIR, CBS equal to PBS and CBS greater than 0.
AF: related to regulated traffic. The reserved bandwidth is equal to CIR and PIR
greater than CIR, PBS greater than 0 and CBS greater than or equal to 0.

Actions on a Traffic Descriptor

The possible actions that involve a Traffic Descriptor are:

Creation, deletion, modification.

Get properties, inventory.

Main attributes of a Traffic Descriptor

The Traffic Descriptors are composed by the following information:

Traffic Descriptor User label.

Comment.
QoS: BE, AF, EF.
PIR, CIR, PBS, and CBS values.

LSP Tunnel

An LSP tunnel is a Point to point unidirectional connection, carried by Transmission

paths with a Transport type sets to the SDH value.
To route an LSP tunnel, the user gives the full path of the LSP Tunnel as a list of
constraints. Constraints are Transmission paths and, optionally, MPLS labels.
To allocate, the user defines a list of constraints corresponding to the list of the Transport
Links.
To provision the LSP tunnel, the system configures each involved NE to implement the
related Traffic Descriptor and to implement theLSR or LER cross connections. This
infrastructure can carry one or more VC-LSP with the same QoS.
Actions on a LSP tunnel

The possible actions that involve a LSP tunnel are:

Creation, deletion, modification.

Get properties, extremities, route, inventory.
Allocation or de-allocation of LSP tunnel.

Implementation or de-implementation of LSP tunnel.

Indication of bandwidth loading.

The LSP tunnel states

The LSP tunnel states are:

Provisioning state:
Defined, Allocated, Partially Implemented, Implemented.
The provisioning state indicates the result of each operation used to implement an
LSP tunnel in a network.
If the implementation does not completes, then the provisioning state changes to
Partially Implemented. The same rule is applied to the de-implementation.
Usage state:
Idle, Busy, Reserved.
If the LSP Tunnel supports at least one VC-LSP, it changes to busy. In addition, at
each changing, the available bandwidth must be computed.
.
Availability status:
Normal, Degraded, In failure.
The availability status is related to the presence or not of alarms.
.
Working state:
Normal, Removing, Allocating, De-Allocating, Implementing, De-Implementing.

The Working state is related to the action on going on the object.

VC-LSP

A VC-LSP is provisioned only at its extremities. No cross connection is allowed on

intermediate NE.
A VC-LSP is carried by one LSP tunnel or by one Transmission path and the Type set to
Ethernet value. This infrastructure can carry one Ethernet Service.

Maintenance Management
Overview

The maintenance management is related to Alarms, Fault Localization, PM management,

and Inventory.
Alarms

The only available alarms are the equipment alarms: no specific Ethernet transmission
alarm is available; only an alarm related the link between CE and PE are available at
Ethernet port level. The alarm coming from SDH failure is signaled and associated to the
Ethernet link termination supported by the alarmed SDH path.
The application evaluates the service status on Ethernet Services starting from EVC and
Ethernet Segments. On Ethernet Segments, the availability status is calculated based on:

Alarms on the server Transport Links: SDH alarms, MPLS VC-LSP alarms.
Alarms on Ethernet ports.
Note: For SDH paths, the alarm working state is available..

The alarms received are used to calculate the availability status of each affected objects.
The alarm received is elaborate and a new specific alarm is generated. These alarms with
a specific Network Management Level probable causes are sent to Fault Management.
Affected objects are the different type of Transport Link (called Link Over
technology specific), the MPLS LSP tunnel and the Ethernet Segment.
Fault Localization

The Fault Localization allows a user to determine the list of elementary alarms affecting a
managed resource. Examples of managed resource are Ethernet Segments, Transport
Links, and LSP tunnels.
The Fault Localization distinguishes problems related to the Ethernet Service from
problems in the underlying transport network. Fault Localization helps the user in
verifying where the fault is located, which board, which connection. The methods used
are the loop back operation and selective PM counters collection.
Fault Localization is called by choosing an alarm on AS: the overall elementary alarms
affect the objects are visualized.
The Fault Localization List window can be invoked either from Fault Management GUI
or from Construction, Ethernet Management, or MPLS GUI.
Quality of service: PM management

The PM management allows the collecting of detailed performance measurements on user

Ethernet traffic. Statistics are computed on a per service, per EVC, per Ethernet Segment.
These data can be used as base for QoS data or for maintenance reason (Fault
Localization, preventive maintenance, and so forth). The use depending on the counter
type (aggregation counters or flow counters) and on the frequency of the collection.

User Profile Management

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

User Profile Management

System Management

The main system management offered functions concern the User Profile management.
The System management is taken in charge by the System Management Function (SMF)
external application of ALMAP.
For more information about SMF, refer to the document: [2] 1350 OMS Administration
Guide, Vol 2: Common GUI Functions.
User Profile concepts

User Profile is a set of services based on the following concepts:

FAD: Set of functional access domains, for example a set of management functions.

NAD: Set of network access domains.

Functional resources.
A set of functional resources can be:
An External Termination Point (ETP).
Indirect Transport link for which NAD is inherited from terminations.
an Ethernet Segment.

Initiator: Gives the access rights on the NAD. By default, they are seven initiators:
Administrator, Free Pool, NAD1, , NAD5.
User Profile: Set of FADs that a user is allowed to access.

User: The user is identified by a login and a password and associated to one User
Profile and one initiator. A user is only allowed to access the management functions
and the management entities included in profile and initiator the user is assigned to.

Access control database: The database which contains all the information relative to
the access control management (for example users, user profiles, User Profile
assignments, and so on).

The actors

The actors who interact with this set of services are the following:

The Administrator is a user allowed to administer the 1350 OMS PKT application
and to operating system.
The Constructor has the rights to manage only the subnetworks, NEs, ENEs, Links
Over TDM, cable, MPLS.
The Operator has the rights to configure and get information about the network.
The Viewer has the rights only to get information about the network.
The north interface manager has the rights to configure and get information about
the network.
The north interface viewer has the rights only to get information about the network.

Relationship between resource and initiator

The Free Pool NAD is a set of resources available to all 1350 OMS PKT users. The
1350 OMS PKT Administrator NAD groups resources available to users with the 1350
OMS PKT Administrator initiator.

The NAD values

The NAD value is a numerical value between 0 and 99999. The following NAD values
have specific meaning:

NAD=0 identifies a free pool object. The free pool object is not assigned to any
specific Network Partition. The free pool objects are visible and accessible by each

user and by external applications. (External access is not checked by 1350 OMS
PKT).
NAD=999 identifies a dedicated free pool object. The dedicated free pool is a
second set of FREE POOL objects. The dedicated free pool objects are not assigned
to any specific Network Partition neither to the Free Pool set. The dedicated free
pool objects are visible and accessible by each user and by external applications.
(External access is not checked by 1350 OMS PKT).
NAD value in the range from 1 to 998 and from 1000 to the unsigned integer limit
identifies a Network Partition. The Network Partition objects are visible only to users
having the privileges on that Network partitions. (In the scope of 1350 OMS PKT, no
user access right are connected to NAD values, so that the external applications
supply the appropriate filtering criteria to access and operate on the right set of
objects).

Description

External Networks are used to describe a connection between various SDHs or to create a
path terminated on a node non controlled by SDH. A path is defined as non terminated if
either one of the NAPs or both are not in the SDH domain. A non-terminated path
describes a path between a Trail Termination Point (TTP) associated to a PDH port and a
Connection Termination Point (CTP).

NML-EML synchronization
1350 OMS PKT resynchronization
Overview

At startup, the 1350 OMS PKT synchronizes the TDM terminations and Links Over TDM
tables with 1350 OMS SDH NAPS and SDH paths.
In case the 1350 OMS PKT has detected a de-synchronization with the 1350 OMS SDH,
at the GUI start up, the user receives a message indicating the loss of synchronization.
To start a manual synchronization, click the menu: Action > Construction >
Synchronization > Manual synchronization.
A confirmation message is displayed.
After confirmation, the synchronization is performed on TDM terminations and Links
Over TDM entities.
The 1350 OMS PKT and 1350 OMS SDH synchronization is fulfilled in the following
cases:

At the 1350 OMS PKT startup.

During the lifetime of the two managers (1350 OMS PKT and 1350 OMS SDH).
After the end of 1350 OMS SDH isolation.

The synchronization status can be checked at any time, by Action > Construction >
Synchronization > Check synchronization status command.

The Tool AlignDBSDHPathId.sh is applicable when following conditions occurs:

An SDH Path under 1350 OMS PKT control (and known as Link Over TDM) has
been deleted and recreated from 1350 OMS SDH.
The SDH path deleted and recreated from 1350 OMS SDH must have the same
characteristics. They must have the same User Label, the same end points, rate, and so
forth.
The Link Over TDM inside 1350 OMS PKT is visible both to MS-GUI.
The Link Over TDM inside Core GUI is marked as not Consistent.
Note: This procedure is a shell script that runs offline.

When to use

The procedure describes the use the Performance Monitoring on an ISA ES1 1.0 board
and of a port-to-port connection.
Additional information

This case is supplied in the scope of one VPWS (Virtual Private Wire Service). The
established connectivity is bidirectional between two Ethernet ports fully dedicated to this
service.
The procedure is based on the service definition and management from the 1350 OMS
PKT. The PM operations are done through Navigation in the scope of the 1350 OMS
EML.
The goal of this procedure is to activate the Performance measurement on each extremity
of the service to analyze the rendering of the connection.
The following figure aims to describe the application case of the procedure:

The procedure aims to describe the different steps the user must do. Procedure starts from
a VPWS Service between two extremities: ISA #A Port N and ISA #Z port M. The user
aims to observe the corresponding Performances.

Figure 12-66 Provider network operating as a distributed MAC Bridge

Description

When a new Ethernet Service has to be realized for a new customer, the user must be
aware of the following information:

All ISA switches and all switching ports must be used by the same customer.
All infrastructure links connecting switching ports must be used by the same
customer.
Traffic engineering is conditioned by the spanning tree protocol.

Tagged and untagged frames are carried in the same way across the network.

Single-Customer, No-VLAN, RSTP provisioning

Network scenario

This network scenario is characterized as follows:

Single customer.

No VLAN management in the provider network.

Spanning tree protocol: RSTP.

All traffic is routed on the active topology. Links not belonging to the current active
topology are unused by data traffic. Traffic classification do not apply: even if different
classes of traffic exist for the same user, they are not managed inside the provider
network.

MAC Bridge Network Configuration

MAC Bridge Basics
Overview

The bridge network management provide support for emerging Ethernet-based

connection-less services. Connection-less services connect in a transparent way various
customer sites across a metropolitan network (Metro-Ethernet). Example of services are
the virtual private LAN services (VPLS).
An Ethernet switch learns the MAC addresses of end-hosts and associates them with
appropriate ports on which the end-host frames arrive. In case of meshed networks,
loop-free connectivity is assured by a distributed computation carried through control
frames and resulting in a spanning tree.
In the context of Metro-Ethernet, a customer network is a collection of multiple networks
(LANs). LANs are physically connected by means of a service provider network. They
operate as if all those multiple networks are connected (virtually) as a single LAN. MAC
learning and packet forwarding is standardized by IEEE 802.1D.
Each ISA board operates as a Layer-two switch inside the provider network, performing
MAC learning, and packet forwarding.
From the customer point of view, MAC learning and packet forwarding is transparent.
The global operation of the ISA switches of the provider network are emulated. Network
operates as a single distributed MAC bridge equipped with all the Ethernet local ports that
face equipment at the CE.

Managing service nodes

Overview about service nodes
Service node management description

Service node is a geographic gathering of 1350 OMS PKT defined NEs depending on the
characteristics of the OMSN that carries each NE.
The service node manages a list of defined NEs having the same OMSN User Label and
the same Location Name.
An OMSN User Label, a Location Name, and a list of defined NEs define the Service
node.
The 1350 OMS PKT user does not manage directly the service nodes:

Each service node is implicitly created at the NE definition (if it does not exist in the
1350 OMS PKT).

The service node is implicitly deleted at the deletion of the last NE. The service node
is also deleted when OMSN User Label or Location Name is changed and old service
node has no more NE associated to it. at the NE configuration change notification
reception.

Therefore, if a service node exists is associated at least to one NE.

NE management description

The NE management, part of the network construction, consists in performing actions

such as:

defining, modifying, deleting NEs.

uploading the TDM terminations.
uploading the Ethernet physical ports.

uploading the Links Over TDM.

audit or synchronize TDM terminations (for NEs not managed by 1350 OMS SDH).
configuring or modifying Ethernet physical ports.
acknowledge the NE LAC state.

The NE management consists in displaying NE information such as:

Defined NE list.
Available NE list.

Properties.
Ethernet physical port list.
TDM termination list.
Equipment view (if the 1350 OMS EML application or 1350 OMS EML presentation
instance are co-hosted with the 1350 OMS PKT).

Alarms (if any).

The NE management chain gives the order in which the available actions can be
performed.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Checks performed on Links Over TDM

For each uploaded Link Over TDM the following checks are performed during the
upload:

If at least one of the specified extremities is in the busy Usage State for another link
or does not exist, the Link Over TDM is rejected, and an error is logged. Also if the
extremity does not exist, the Link Over TDM is rejected, and an error is logged.

If both extremities exist in 1350 OMS PKT:

If Usage State is not busy, the Link Over TDM is created in the 1350 OMS PKT,
and the TDM terminations Usage State is set to busy.
If the SDH path provisioning state is defined, allocated, or implemented, the
Manager Control is set to Disabled and provisioning state to Not
Commissioned.
If the provisioning state is commissioned, the corresponding transport or
transmission path is created according to the supported layer, the Manager
Control is set to Enabled and the provisioning state is set to Commissioned.
The Client Type of the uploaded Link Over TDM is set to ETS by default.

The Protocol Type of the uploaded Link Over TDM protocol is chosen according to
the following rule:
If the supported layer is MPLS, the Protocol Type is equal to HDLC.
If the two boards at the extremities of the link are ES1 or ES4, the Protocol Type
is the value set in the 1350 OMS PKT configuration file. The value can be GFP or
LAPS.
If one of the board is not an ES board, the Protocol Type is GFP.

Acknowledge the NE LAC state

When to use

This function allows the user to acknowledge the Local Access Control state.
Related information

When the LAC state of the NE is equal to Post-granted, this function allows the user to
acknowledge the possible misalignment between the 1350 OMS PKT and the NE due to a
possible modification from the 1320CT.
As the 1350 OMS EML could authorize the local access to a NE from the 1320CT, the
data stored in 1350 OMS PKT could be different.
To check and resolve misalignments, the user perform a NE audit and a NE alignment. At
alignment, the data is downloaded from 1350 OMS PKT to the NE or the data is uploaded
from NE to 1350 OMS PKT. Upload from NE is also called Plug & Play.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Create an ENE
When to use

The function creates an External Network Element.

Related information

The ENE makes visible to the 1350 OMS PKT, a NE or a set of NEs not managed by the
1350 OMS PKT, for example a NE contained in an adjacent subnetwork not accessible to
the 1350 OMS PKT.
Refer to the topic ENE management (p. 11-48).
An Inner ENE is a subset of NEs not managed by the 1350 OMS PKT. The connection
between the managed network and the inner ENE is an internal Link Over Cable to a NE.
An Outer ENE is any equipment outside the scope of the network management. An Outer
ENE is located at customer premises. The equipment is connected through an external
Link Over Cable to a NE.
During the creation of an ENE with an Inner Equipment role, the Manager Control of
the five first ETP is set to Enabled. The other five ETPs are created with a Manager
Control set to Disabled. If the Edge Port List (available from the Ethernet Management
GUI) is opened, this list is updated the five first ETPs of the new created ENE.
For an ENE with a Customer Edge ENE role, all ETPs are created with a Manager
Control set to Disabled.
Before you begin

The system is running.

The system is properly configured.
The system is connected by MS-GUI.
The MS-GUI is set to map mode.
Conditions

Note: It is authorized to create an ENE in the main parent subnetwork (called MEN
by default).
To get a positive result:

Before the action, create the parent subnetwork.

In the selected subnetwork, the amount of NE must not exceed the maximum. See
Table B-1, Limits for Subnetworks (p. B-1).

In the selected subnetwork, the amount of ENE must not exceed the maximum. See

Managing Link Aggregation (LAG) ports

Description of Link Aggregation (LAG) function
LAG definition

The Link Aggregation (LAG) function allows to aggregate a number of parallel instances
into one single logical link. Physical links must be Full Duplex, Point to Point, and
operating at the same rate (Fast or Gigabit Ethernet).
The main targets of LAG are:

Bandwidth Increase respect to available Ethernet Standard Bandwidth (10, 100, 1000
Mbit/s).
Availability (in the sense of Protection) of Ethernet Links: the failure of one
aggregated link is protected with a fast switch time (less than 1 s).

The Link Aggregation can be managed either on UNI/IWI Terminations and on NNI
Terminations (intended as Transport Link "over Cable" Terminations).
The combination of main targets of LAG and its possible deployment, supplies a set of
four functional combinations that can be tested independently:

LAG on UNI (for Bandwidth).

LAG on UNI (for Protection).

LAG on NNI (for Bandwidth).
LAG on NNI (for Protection).

For feature description point of view, all those four possibilities are described in this
chapter, while for feature traceability they are independently reported as single features.
LAG scheme

Figure 13-17 Scheme of a Link Aggregation

As shown in figure, more Physical Interfaces having the same rate are aggregated in a
Logical Interface called Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
The Link Aggregation Group is a Logical concept and can be realized also by non
contiguous Physical Interfaces.
The Client Type of Link Aggregation Group can be ETS or ETB.
In a Link Aggregation Group, the nominal Bandwidth is the Bandwidth of one Physical
Interfaces multiplied by the LAG size. The size of the LAG corresponds to the number of
active aggregated links.

About LAG

The Link Aggregation (LAG) function allows to aggregate into one single logical link a
number of parallel instances. The instances member of a LAG must be links of Full
Duplex Point to Point Physical. The links must operate at the same rate (Fast or Gigabit
Ethernet).
The main targets of LAG are:

Bandwidth Increase respect to available Ethernet Standard Bandwidth (10, 100, 1000
Mbit/s).
Availability (in the sense of Protection) of Ethernet Links: the failure of one
aggregated link is protected with a fast switch time (less than one second).

Related information

For a description about LAG ports refer to the topic Description of Link Aggregation
(LAG) function (p. 13-113).
LAG size and number of ports

It is possible to add a number of ports different from the LAG size:

If number of ports is less than the lag size: the LAG is in a degraded state.

If number of ports is greater than the lag size: the exceeding ports are in a stand-by
status. They provide protection to the working ports according to port priority.

The ports must be in the same NE (the same card) and are subjected to consistency checks
and NE specific restrictions.
The Ports member of a LAG are assigned to domain using normal resource assignment
procedure. In the same context of LAG creation, the user can: assign LAG port to
domain, set port attributes, set domain-specific port attributes.

Managing Jumbo Frames (through NAV)

Overview about Jumbo Frames
Frame size management

The size of the frame managed by the Legacy ISA equipment is limited to a maximum
value to optimize the internal resources (for example: internal queues). When traffics
consist in large frames (called Ethernet Jumbo frames) a specific configuration on the
equipment is required. The manager is able to configure the support of Jumbo Frames for
each interface involved in such traffic.
The management of Jumbo Frame through Navigation involves the 1850 TSS 320
releases in the following way:

1850 TSS 320 1.0: Ethernet Port.

1850 TSS 320 1.1: Ethernet Port over GFP.
1850 TSS 320 1.2: Ethernet Port over LAPS.

Jumbo Frames management description

The management of Jumbo frames inside a network, brings to the configuration of all (or
of a subset) infrastructures dedicated to the traffic supporting Jumbo Frames.
The management of Jumbo Frames have to be explicitly configured in End-to-End way
enabling both on Edge Ports and on Crossed Transport Links. The following figure
provides an example.

Managing Jumbo Frames (through NAV)

Overview about Jumbo Frames

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

For Jumbo Frame capability, the amount of resources to be configured can cover a whole
network, a domain, or it can be done in heterogeneous way acting on a subset of
resources. The condition to fulfill is that the end-to-end configuration is guaranteed
(otherwise the Jumbo frame can be discarded by NE not properly configured).
The management of Jumbo frames has to be explicitly enabled on Ethernet Interfaces
(either UNI, NNI and IWI).
The default behavior is disabled.
In particular, both Local and Remote Ethernet Interfaces can be configured to support
Jumbo frames and allow the Jumbo traffic flowing.
The management of Jumbo frames capability is only possible when the Ethernet Interface
is not Active (that is the Ethernet Interface is not already in use by Ethernet traffic).

Managing ports on 1678MCC Network Elements
When to use

This paragraph describes the procedure when a new port is created or deleted on a
1678MCC Network Element.
Related information

The procedure is started on 1350 OMS EML application with the equipment of the port
on the NE.
If the user has configured the automatic upload on the NE, 1350 OMS SDH system
learns the new configured NAPs automatically. Otherwise the new ports are learned
manually.
1350 OMS PKT receives the new NAP notification and asks automatically 1350 OMS
SDH system for the corresponding physical port.
The deleting of a port operation is manually accomplished on 1350 OMS SDH, 1350
OMS EML, and 1350 OMS PKT systems.
The first step is the deleting the NAP on 1350 OMS SDH application. The second step is
the deleting the port on 1350 OMS EML application. Eventually the deleting of the port
on 1350 OMS PKT application.
Refer to the document: [3] 1350 OMS EML Guide.
Refer to the document: [4] 1350 OMS SDH Guide.
For details about equipment view, refer to the topic Navigation to equipment
(p. 18-180).
Before you begin

The system is running.

The system is properly configured.

Transport link definition
Description of the infrastructure

This part provides a description of the infrastructure in term of: Link Over TDM, Link
Over Cable, Link Over MPLS. The infrastructure is used for different supported layer
MPLS or Ethernet. The infrastructure is named Transport Link.
The Transport Link can be supported by:

An SDH path. The link is called Link Over TDM. It carries directly Ethernet
Segments or VC-LSPs: The supported layer is Ethernet or MPLS.
A VC-LSP. The link is called Link Over MPLS. A Link Over TDM or a Link Over
Cable (Martini) carries it.
An Ethernet cable or a Martini cable. The link is called Link Over Cable. It connects a
NE with an ENE. If the ENE has a role inner equipment then it carries directly
Ethernet Segments or VC-LSP. The supported layer is Ethernet or MPLS. If the ENE
has a role customer Edge, the ENE is only used for the graphical view.

When the provisioning state of the Link Over TDM becomes commissioned, the
corresponding Transport link is created in the MPLS or Ethernet management domain.
Creation is done according to the supported layer Ethernet or MPLS.

The increment of the effective bandwidth

The following figure depicts the concatenated VC management, with a concatenation

level equal to 4, for an Ethernet bit rate equal to 1 Gbit/s.
Figure 14-7 Network Element Supervision: Concatenated VC management

In this example, the effective bandwidth of the Link Over TDM is: 4 x 155 Mbit/s (vc4) =
620 Mbit/s, less than 1 Gbit/s, the bit rate of the connected port.
The TDM terminations are managed in the 1350 OMS PKT with the following
characteristics:

TDM termination Identifier (That is Ethernet port Identifier).

Technology: ETH.
Bit Rate: Eth 1 Gbit/s.

Supported Layer: Ethernet.

Concatenation level: 4.
Concatenation Rate: vc4.

The management of concatenated SDH path is the same both for virtual and for packet
concatenation, both for transparent and for compressed rates.
For a concatenated path, the concatenation level can increment or reduce the SDH path
bandwidth.
1350 OMS SDH notifies to 1350 OMS PKT1350 OMS PKT every modification on the
concatenation level of an SDH path.
After the notification has been received, it has to calculate the effective bandwidth of the
Link Over TDM. The corresponding SNMP interfaces on ISA PR EA is updated.

performed.
For each SNMP extremity of the Link Over TDM, the following TDM termination
characteristics are uploaded from the NE:

Protocol Type.

Client Type.

Effective Bandwidth.

Activation Status.

According to the uploaded values, the implicit configuration is done.

Non-SNMP NE or not active extremities.

If both extremities are not active or if at least one extremity is not SNMP, the Link Over
TDM is updated as follow:

Client Type is set to ETS.

Configuration phase results.

The implicit configuration ends with the following results:

If the Manager control is enabled and the Link Over TDM is used to carry traffic in
the management domain, the configuration is refused.
If the Manager control is enabled and the Link Over TDM is not used in the
management domain: the related Transport Link in Ethernet or MPLS management
domain is deactivated, a request is sent to NE at extremities to deactivate the related
SNMP interfaces. Then the manager control becomes disabled and the required
modifications are applied.
If the Manager control is disabled the required modifications are applied directly.

When the required modifications have been applied:

If the Client Type is ETB:

the Manager control remains disabled, and a configuration request is sent on each
TDM termination, at extremities. No activation is done.

In the other cases:

the Manager control becomes enabled, and the related Transport link in the Ethernet

Configuration is accomplished by setting the Client Type and Protocol Type.
This function is used when the user needs to modify the Client Type (or Supported
Layer), and Protocol Type.
This function is used also when a Link Over TDM has its manager control disabled, to
make it operational.

Managing Links Over Cable

Overview about Link Over Cables
Link Over Cable definition

Is called Link over Cable, the way to connect two Ethernet ports without using the SDH
layer.
Classification of Links Over Cable

The following different cases can be considered:

1. A Link Over Cable between a PR EA NE or ES16 and an ENE with a role set to inner
equipment.
In this case:
The Supported Layer of the Link Over Cable could be MPLS or Ethernet.
The type of the Link Over Cable is called internal.
2. A Link Over Cable between an E/FE/GE NE and an ENE with a role set to inner
equipment.
In this case:
The Supported Layer of the Link Over Cable is always Ethernet.
The type of the Link Over Cable is called internal.
3. A Link Over Cable between any type of NE and an ENE with a role set to customer
edge. The ENE represents a Customer Edge, which is outside the managed domain.
In this case:
The Supported Layer of the Link Over Cable is always Ethernet.
The type of the Link Over Cable is called external.
The creation of an external Link Over Cable is optional because this type of Link
Over Cable is only used by the graphic view.
If the supported layer of the created Link Over Cable is MPLS, it appears also in
Transport Link List of MPLS GUI.
If the supported layer of the created Link Over Cable is Ethernet, it appears also in
Transport Link List of Ethernet Management GUI.
If the ENE has a role Inner Equipment, then the Link Over Cable type is internal, else the
Link Over Cable type is external.
For a not terminated Link Over Cable, if the ENE role is Customer Edge, the Link Over
Cable interface type is UNI (external cable). An external Link Over Cable is always
managed locally by the construction domain. The aim is to present the Customer edge
equipment connected to the managed domain.

Managing Links Over Cable

Overview about Link Over Cables

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

For both, terminated or not terminated Link Over Cable, the Link Over Cable type is NNI
or IWI. Terminated Link Over Cables are also called internal cable. Not terminated Link
Over Cable has Inner ENE or P-VLAN network.
For a not terminated Link Over Cable, the ETP Interface rate is deduced from the port
characteristics at the other extremity. The ETP Interface rate can be: 10 Mbit/s, 100
Mbit/s, 1 Gbit/s.
Links Over Cable creation details

.
Calculated information

The Link Over Cable is created with its given characteristics and the following
information is calculated:

Type according to the role of ENE at the extremity (external if ENE role is customer
edge or internal if ENE role is inner equipment).
The working state is set to Normal.

Status for Internal Link Over Cable

If Link Over Cable type is internal:

Depending on alarm presence on the port, Availability status is set to Normal, In

Failure, or Degraded.
If Client Type is ETS, Manager Control is set to Enabled.

If Client Type is ETB, Manager Control is set to Disabled.

Ethernet portusage state and ETP usage state are set to Busy.

Status for external Link Over Cable

If Link Over Cable type is external:

Availability status is set to Not Meaningful.

Manager Control is set to Disabled.

ETP Usage States is set to Busy.

When the process fails

The process fails in the following cases:

The Manager Control of port at the extremity of an external Link Over Cable is
disabled.
The Manager Control of port at the extremity of an internal Link Over Cable is
enabled.
The Bit rate of port is not equal to the Bit rate entered for the Link Over Cable.
The Supported Layer of port is not equal to the Supported Layer of the Link Over
Cable.

based on Link Over TDM, in this case, they can be used to carry LSP Tunnel. In that
case, the extremities of the Transport Link are TDM termination and its transport type
is Link Over TDM.
based on Link Over Cable, in this case, they can be used to carry VC-LSP. In that
case, the extremities of the Transport Link are one Physical Port and one ETP and its
transport type is Link Over Cable.

The different steps to provide a Transport Link are the following:

Create Transport link (in the scope of network construction).

The Transport Link is created automatically after the creation or the upload of Links
Over TDM and Links Over Cable dedicated to MPLS.

Characteristic definition.
For each extremity of the Transport Link, to provision the characteristics (MPLS
Label range) and to activate them. The MPLS Label range is stored.

The Transport Link management tool chain gives the order in which the available actions
can be performed.

definition by involved boards

Characteristic definition of a Transport Link is made by setting MPLS label range and by
activation of the interface.
The proposed Static Range Min and Max depend on the type of the boards at the
extremities of the Transport Link:

for two ISA boards (PR EA or ES16), the Min Range is equal to 1024 and the Max
range is equal to 5119.
for one ENE (ISA PR) and one ISA PR EA, the Min Range is equal to 1024 and the
Max range is equal to 5119.
for one ENE (not an ISA PR) and one ISA ES16 board, the label range is set to
1024-5119, by automatic configuration. The user can change it by configuration of the
Transport Link manually. In this case, the Min Range is 16 and the Max range is
5119.

definition by user

The user has the possibility to change these values inside the range.
At the end, on each NE involved in the Transport Link, the physical port, or the logical
port is configured. The MPLS label range is stored in 1350 OMS PKT database, and the
1350 OMS PKT interface is activated.
If the selected Transport Link is based on Link Over Cable, the user can open the
VC-LSP creation window by ticking the Proceed with VC-LSP creation box.
If the selected Transport Link is based on Link Over TDM, the user can open the LSP
tunnel creation window by ticking the Proceed with LSP Tunnel creation box.

Allocate LSP tunnel

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Allocate LSP tunnel

When to use

This operation finds a path route between the two extremities of an LSP tunnel.
Related information

For information about LSP tunnel, see: LSP Tunnel (p. 11-66).
effective bandwidth

The system calculates the effective bandwidth of the LSP tunnel according to the
associated Traffic Descriptor (see the table).
Each MPLS Transport Link of the given route must provide the effective bandwidth of
the LSP tunnel. Available Bandwidth of Transport Link is greater than or equal to
Effective bandwidth of LSP tunnel.
For all traffic contract, CIR must be less than or equal to PIR and PIR must be less than or
equal to Transport Link Total bandwidth.
Traffic contract type.

Effective bandwidth reserved on Transport Link.

Best Effort.

0 1.

Assured Forwarding.

CIR.

Expedited Forwarding.

CIR.

Notes:

1.

In the case Best Effort traffic contract, no effective bandwidth is reserved. In this case, for
each Transport Link, a Table B-19, Limits for MPLS Transport Links (p. B-4) of Best
Effort LSP Tunnel is checked.

Allocation route

Before the allocation operation, the user has given a complete path route in term of
constraints (MPLS Transport Link List). Constraints can optionally be associated with the
MPLS Labels. See Add a constraint to an LSP tunnel (p. 15-56).
If the LSP Tunnel is only one, the route is already defined. In this case, the constraint List
is not mandatory. The Transport Link is identified by the LSP tunnel extremities given
during the definition. Even not mandatory, it can be useful for the user to gives a specific
MPLS label.
If the user gives an MPLS Label in the constraint list, the system checks the availability
of the MPLS Label. If the MPLS Label. is used by another LSP Tunnel or VC-LSP, 1350
OMS PKT chooses and reserves automatically an available MPLS label.

Allocate LSP tunnel

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Allocation phase

The LSP tunnel is allocated:

Along the route used by the LSP Tunnel, LSP links are created. Tunnels are
referenced by an MPLS Label of each crossed Transport Link.
MPLS Label of each involved Transport Link is reserved to the LSP tunnel.
LSP Tunnel cross connections are generated.
Bandwidth of each Transport Link (used and available bandwidths) is computed in

the used direction.

If the Usage State of each MPLS Transport Link used by the LSP Tunnel was idle,
the Usage State is changed to busy.

Allocation states

The LSP tunnel is also updated with the following states:

Provisioning State: Allocated.

Working State: Normal.

Before you begin

The system is running.

The system is properly configured.
The system is connected by MS-GUI.
The MS-GUI is set to map mode.
Conditions

To get a positive result:

The provisioning state of the selected LSP tunnel must be set to Defined.

The working state must be set to Normal (if not, an operation is running on it).

The LSP tunnel must be associated to a Traffic Descriptor.

The constraints on this LSP tunnel have been previously added (except for unitary
LSP tunnel).

The MPLS Transport Links defined as constraints are contiguous.

The constraint lists must be compliant with the LSP tunnel extremities.

Overview about VC-LSP

VC-LSP description

VC-LSP is an infrastructure which can carry one Ethernet Segment.

A VC-LSP can be carried by one LSP tunnel with the same QoS. A VC-LSP can be
carried by a Link Over Cable between ISA PR EA and ISA PR board or between ISA
ES16 and ISA PR.
The VC-LSP management tool chain gives the order in which the available actions can be
performed.

Managing T-MPLS PHB profile

Overview about PHB profile management
PHB profile description

T-MPLS manages the PHB profile configuration in the network.

PKT manages LSP PHB profile creation on domain basis. The creation affects PKT
database only.
The system checks that the requested profile is compatible with the PHB profile on
domain basis.
The LSP PHB profile is created in the network only at tunnel/PW implementation time,
on all nodes crossed by the tunnel.
The elementary LSP PHB profiles automatically created in each NE are called
Node-PHB-Profiles and the system manages their consistency status.
The Node-PHB-Profile exists in PKT database only if there exists an associated
implemented tunnel/PW.
PKT manages PHB profile configuration on domain basis. PHB profile configuration is
allowed only when no traffic is supported, that is, no associated Node-PHB-Profiles exist
and no implemented tunnel/PW is associated to the PHB profile.

Managing Transport Links (T-MPLS)

Overview about Transport Links
Transport Link description

For details about Transport Links, see: T-MPLS Transport link (p. 11-65).
For general information about Transport Links, see: Transport link management
(p. 11-50).
Two kinds of Transport Link can be used as infrastructure:

based on Link Over TDM, in this case, they can be used to carry LSP Tunnel. In that
case, the extremities of the Transport Link are TDM termination and its transport type
is Link Over TDM.
based on Link Over Cable, in this case, they can be used to carry VC-LSP. In that
case, the extremities of the Transport Link are one Physical Port and one ETP and its
transport type is Link Over Cable.

The different steps to provide a Transport Link are the following:

Create Transport link (in the scope of network construction).

The Transport Link is created automatically after the creation or the upload of Links
Over TDM and Links Over Cable dedicated to T-MPLS.

Characteristic definition.
For each extremity of the Transport Link, to provision the characteristics (T-MPLS
Label range) and to activate them. The T-MPLS Label range is stored.

The Transport Link management tool chain gives the order in which the available actions
can be performed.

For details about Transport Links, see: T-MPLS Transport link (p. 11-65).
For general information about Transport Links, see: Transport link management
(p. 11-50).
Characteristic definition

Characteristic definition of a Transport Link is made by setting T-MPLS label range and
by activation of the interface.
The proposed Static Range Min and Max depend on the type of the boards at the
extremities of the Transport Link:

for two ISA boards (PR EA or ES16), the Min Range is equal to 1024 and the Max
range is equal to 5119.
for one ENE (ISA PR) and one ISA PR EA, the Min Range is equal to 1024 and the
Max range is equal to 5119.
for one ENE (not an ISA PR) and one ISA ES16 board, the label range is set to
1024-5119, by automatic configuration. The user can change it by configuration of the
Transport Link manually. In this case, the Min Range is 16 and the Max range is
5119.

The user has the possibility to change these values inside the range.
At the end, on each NE involved in the Transport Link, the physical port, or the logical
port is configured. The T-MPLS label range is stored in 1350OMS-PKT database, and the
1350 OMS PKT interface is activated.
If the selected Transport Link is based on Link Over Cable, the user can open the
VC-LSP creation window by ticking the Proceed with VC-LSP creation box.
If the selected Transport Link is based on Link Over TDM, the user can open the LSP
tunnel creation window by ticking the Proceed with LSP Tunnel creation box.

Managing Virtual Transport (T-MPLS)

Overview about Virtual Transports
T-MPLS Virtual Transport description

Application manages the VT creation and configuration both in database (read-write

access) and in the NE. T-MPLS and EOT are notified about VT creation and
configuration. T-MPLS and EOT can request to CORE the configuration of adaptive VTs
only. VT and VTQ information is stored in database tables that can be also read by
T-MPLS and EOT (read-only access). T-MPLS and EOT manage the bandwidth reserved
on each VT and VTQ. CORE has to know the bandwidth lock/unlock only on VT basis.
CORE does not need to know the exact amount of reserved bandwidth. The VT concept
represents a portion of the section egress bandwidth and allows to reserve that bandwidth
portion for a specific transport class. When the service is allocated (Ethernet Segment
allocated over one Transport Link or T-MPLS tunnel/PW allocated over one section), the
system associates that Ethernet Segment/tunnel/PW with one Virtual Transport (VT) of
the egress port. At allocation time, the operator can optionally specify the underlying
associated VT. If not specified by user, the system automatically associates the Ethernet
Segment/Tunnel/PW with the default Virtual Transport associated with the egress port.
The default VT initially uses all the bandwidth corresponding to the egress shaping rate.
The manual addition of new VTs over the same egress port forces the automatic reduction
of the bandwidth available to the default VT.
User is requested to create all VTs in advance to traffic implementation. PKT is also
requested to Takeover VTs existing in the network. When the operator creates a new VT,
the operator has to specify, with respect to VT bandwidth management, whether this VT
is adaptive or fixed. For fixed VTs, the VT bandwidth parameters can only be changed by
operator (carried traffic must fit VT bandwidth parameters). For adaptive VTs, the VT
bandwidth can only be changed automatically when traffic is set up or torn-down (VT
bandwidth parameters must fit traffic bandwidth demand). VTs Takeover from the
network are automatically managed by PKT as fixed VTs.
Application behavior creating T-MPLS Virtual Transport

When creates a Virtual Transport, the application:

Checks that the section constraints describe a fully connected route between the end
nodes.
Checks that the PW PHB profile is supported by the domain Egress PHB Profile.
Defines the PW and updates the T-MPLS DB allocating the PW along the constraints.
Associates the PW to a null TD (PIR=CIR=0 and PBS=CBS=0), if the user does not
specify the bandwidth parameters.

Managing Virtual Transport (T-MPLS)

Overview about Virtual Transports

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Set the reserved CIR parameter equal to the TD CIR parameter. If an allocated service
is over one implemented PW, the PW reserved CIR represents the CIR required to
support the PW committed bandwidth, while the TD CIR represents the committed
bandwidth of the implemented PW.

When the supported services are implemented, TD CIR is enlarged to match the
reserved CIR. If the PW are deallocated, the reserved CIR is reduced down to the TD
CIR value.
If the user does not constrain the underlying Virtual Transport (by means of VT
parameter), the application allocates the PW on the default VT.

If the user requests Control Word enabling (CW enabling), then CW insertion is
enabled on PW terminations at implementation time.
Note: It is not possible to create the PW using other underlying PWs. Only E-LSP
PWs are supported.

Virtual Transport provisioning

Each NE involved in the Virtual Transport is provisioned as following:

If does not exit in the NE, Traffic Descriptor is created.

The LER and LSR connections are added to the NE.
Extremities are activated.

If tunnel alarm enabling rule is on-implementation, MEPs are automatically created and
activated on tunnel terminations at this stage.
If tunnel PM enabling rule is on-implementation, PM counting is automatically started
on tunnel terminations at this stage.
If at tunnel creation time the operator specified one PHB profile (selecting from a
portfolio of profiles available on domain basis) different from default, PKT automatically
implements the corresponding Node-PHB profiles on all tunnel segments. Similarly,
based on the tunnel bandwidth parameters, PKT automatically creates in each crossed NE
the corresponding TD.
If the tunnel uses an adaptive VT, PKT automatically configures VT bandwidth as
follows:

VT Reserved CIR = Sum (LSP CIR) , where the sum spans all allocated and

implemented LSP (tunnel or PW) directly supported by the VT, including current
tunnel, is unchanged.
VT CIR = Sum (LSP CIR) , where the sum spans all implemented LSP (tunnel or PW)
directly supported by the VT, including current tunnel.
VT PIR = Max (LSP PIR) , where the max is computed for all implemented LSP
(tunnel or PW) directly supported by the VT, including current tunnel.

Managing Pseudo Wires (T-MPLS)

Overview about Pseudo Wires
T-MPLS Pseudo Wire description

Pseudo Wires are point-to-point logical connections between NNI ports. Pseudo Wires are
usable by only one service.
The route of a Pseudo Wire spans one or more T-MPLS sections and or tunnels.
The purpose of a Pseudo Wire is to carry one service across T-MPLS network.
Pseudo Wires are Label Switched Paths (LSP). The Pseudo Wire terminations correspond
to:

a label Push at the ingress LER.

a label Pop at the egress LER.

The cross connection (XC) correspond to a Label Swap at the LSR.

T-MPLS manages the T-MPLS tunnel creation in the database, requested by user
(bottom-up approach) or by PW creation (top-down approach). The T-MPLS Tunnel, or
T-MPLS Path, is a logical entity that represents point-to-point connections between NNI
ports. The tunnel route can span one or more T-MPLS sections or one or more underlying
tunnels. The T-MPLS tunnel is an example of Label Switched Path (LSP). The tunnel
purpose is to enhance the scalability of T-MPLS logical connections. The tunnel can carry
one or more services (PW), it can be involved in a protection schema (linear colon, linear
plus, or MPLS Ring). The tunnel supports OAM capabilities: tunnel terminations can
instantiate and enable the Maintenance End Points (MEPs). The system is able to
configure a tunnel between NNI ports belonging to contiguous T-MPLS domains using
only the sections present in T-MPLS DB. In this version, a tunnel cannot be created using
other underlying tunnels. Only E-LSP tunnels are supported. The tunnel creation can be
performed by the operator using the T-MPLS GUI or automatically during a client service
definition. When creating the tunnel, the operator can fully specify the tunnel route by
means of section constraints or can specify only the end NNI ports with, optionally, a
partial or complete list of section constraints. The tunnel creation is an operation that
defines the tunnel and reserves the resources in T-MPLS DB. If the operation fails, the
tunnel is put in defined state with working state failedToAllocate value and the
system notifies the cause of the failure. While in defined state, the operator can remove
the tunnel or modify the input parameters (edge points, section constraints, and so on) and
perform again the creation. If the creation completes successfully the tunnel is in
allocated state. Tunnel creation is the same for static, dynamic, and mixed tunnels. In
all cases, the system is required to compute the tunnel nominal route. The static case and
the dynamic case differ only in the way the nominal route is provisioned.

When to use

This function manages Pseudo Wire creation and allocation.

Related information

For information about Pseudo Wire, see: Overview about Pseudo Wires (p. 16-50).
Pseudo Wire allocation

The system checks that the section constraints describe a fully connected route between
the end nodes.
The system checks that the PW PHB profile is supported by the domain Egress PHB
Profile.
The system defines the PW and updates the T-MPLS DB allocating the PW along the
constraints.
If the operator does not specify the bandwidth parameters, the system creates the PW with
associated null TD (PIR=CIR=0 and PBS=CBS=0 ).
The reserved CIR parameter is always equal to the TD CIR parameter, except when the
services is allocated and over one implemented PW. In such case, the PW reserved CIR
represents the CIR required to support the PW committed bandwidth, while the TD CIR
represents the committed bandwidth of the implemented PW.
When the supported services are implemented, TD CIR is enlarged to match the reserved
CIR.
If the PWs are deallocated, the reserved CIR is reduced down to the TD CIR value.
If the operator does not constrain the underlying Virtual Transport (by means of VT
parameter), the system allocates the PW on the default VT.
If the operator requests Control Word enabling (CW enabling), then CW insertion is
enabled on PW terminations at implementation time.
Before you begin

The system is properly configured.
The system is connected by MS-GUI.

Conditions

To get a positive result:

Allocate Pseudo Wire

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Allocate Pseudo Wire

When to use

This operation is performed when the user wants to find a path route between the two
extremities of a Pseudo Wire.
Related information

For information about Pseudo Wire, see: Overview about Pseudo Wires (p. 16-50).
Before the allocation operation, the user has given a complete path route in term of
constraints (T-MPLS Pseudo Wire List). Constraints can optionally be associated with the
T-MPLS Labels. See Add a constraint to an LSP tunnel (p. 15-56).
If the Pseudo Wire is only one, the route is already defined. In this case, the constraint
List is not mandatory. The Pseudo Wire is identified by the Pseudo Wire extremities given
during the definition. Even not mandatory, it can be useful for the user to gives a specific
T-MPLS label.
Pseudo Wire bandwidth

The system calculates the effective bandwidth of the Pseudo Wire according to the
associated Traffic Descriptor (see the table).
Each T-MPLS Pseudo Wire of the given route must provide the effective bandwidth of the
Pseudo Wire. Available Bandwidth of Pseudo Wire is greater than or equal to Effective
bandwidth of Pseudo Wire.
Traffic contract type.

Effective bandwidth reserved on Pseudo Wire.

Best Effort.

0 1.

Assured Forwarding.

CIR.

Expedited Forwarding.

CIR.

Notes:

1.

In the case Best Effort traffic contract, no effective bandwidth is reserved. In this case, for
each Pseudo Wire, a maximum number of Best Effort Pseudo Wire is checked.

For all traffic contract, CIR must be less than or equal to PIR and PIR must be less than or
equal to Pseudo Wire Total bandwidth.
If the user gives a T-MPLS Label in the constraint list, the system checks the availability
of the T-MPLS Label. If the T-MPLS Label. is used by another Pseudo Wire or T-MPLS
section, 1350 OMS PKT chooses and reserves automatically an available T-MPLS label.

Implement a Pseudo Wire

When to use

This function implements a Pseudo Wire.

Related information

For information about Pseudo Wire, see: Overview about Pseudo Wires (p. 16-50).
Implementation phase

The tunnel provisioning can be static, dynamic, or mixed. Static means that the tunnel is
provisioned directly by NMS. Dynamic means that the tunnel is provisioned through
control plane. In mixed provisioning, PKT manages the tunnel creation and activation,
partially in the data plane and partially in the control plane.
Each NE involved in the Pseudo Wire is provisioned as following:

If does not exit in the NE, Traffic Descriptor is created.

The LER connections and the LSR connections are added to the NE.
Extremities are activated.

If tunnel alarm enabling rule is on-implementation, MEPs are automatically created and
activated on tunnel terminations at this stage.
If tunnel PM enabling rule is on-implementation, PM counting is automatically started
on tunnel terminations at this stage.
If at tunnel creation time the operator specified one PHB profile (selecting from a
portfolio of profiles available on domain basis) different from default, PKT automatically
implements the corresponding Node-PHB profiles on all tunnel segments. Similarly,
based on the tunnel bandwidth parameters, PKT automatically creates in each crossed NE
the corresponding TD.
If the tunnel uses an adaptive VT, PKT automatically configures VT bandwidth as
follows:

VT Reserved CIR = Sum (LSP CIR), where the sum spans all allocated and
implemented LSP (tunnel or PW) directly supported by the VT, including current
tunnel, is unchanged.
VT CIR = Sum (LSP CIR), where the sum spans all implemented LSP (tunnel or PW)
directly supported by the VT, including current tunnel.
VT PIR = Max (LSP PIR), where the max is computed for all implemented LSP
(tunnel or PW) directly supported by the VT, including current tunnel.

Deimplementation phase

PKT manages the static tunnel removal from the data plane, dynamic tunnel removal
from the control plane, or both.
If the tunnel were using a dedicated Node-PHB profile, the profile is automatically
deleted from the NE. If the tunnel were using a dedicated TD, the TD is automatically
deleted from the NE.
If the tunnel uses an adaptive VT, PKT automatically reconfigures VT bandwidth as

Ethernet Services in the T-MPLS Domain

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ethernet Services in the T-MPLS Domain

Generals on T-MPLS Ethernet services

The following considerations are valid for all Ethernet services built over one T-MPLS
domain:
in case of Virtual services, e.g. EVPLINE and EVPLAN, it is possible to share the same
UNI for more than one service
each T-MPLS transport link (PW) is dedicated to only one Ethernet service (EVC). The
hardware implementation is standard compliant (the FPGA inserts/strips the PW label at
the UNI in case of p2p connections)
there is no need to have a routing algorythm at the Ethernet layer over one T-MPLS
domain. In fact, one PW connects always two edge nodes and so routing is done at the
T-MPLS layer. The notable exception to this rule is the case of H-VPLS services, but in
that case routing at the Ethernet layer is again avoided since the operator has to specify
the VPLS core nodes
for scalability reasons, for all service types, all Ethernet flows belonging to the same
EVC termination must be transported over the same PW towards each remote EVC
termination. Specifically,
for point-to-point services: in case an EVC termination has multiple ingress Ethernet
flows, all flows must be mapped to the same PW; similarly, in case of multiple egress
flows, all flows must be (de)mapped from the same PW
for multipoint services: in case one EVC termination has multiple Ethernet ingress
flows, all flows must be mapped to only one PW dedicated to each remote destination;
similarly, in case of multiple egress flows, all flows must be (de)mapped from only one
PW for each remote source
POINT-TO-POINT EVC OVER T-MPLS - EVPL service

The EVPL EVC must be layered over two unidirectional T-MPLS PWs (uniformly or
diversely routed) if different bandwidth characteristics (traffic descriptors) are required
for the forward and backward directions.
All Ethernet flows that compose the EVC termination must be carried over the same PW.
PKT checks that the bandwidth parameters of the T-MPLS transport link satisfy the
bandwidth requirements of the associated ETS ingress flow:
- Max Flow PIR <= TL PIR
- Flow CIR <= TL CIR
- Max Flow PBS <= TL PBS
- Flow CBS <= TL CBS
PKT reserves the flows bandwidth on the TL in PKT database
: - TL reserved PIR = Max (Max flow PIR, flow CIR)

- TL reserved CIR = flow CIR

- TL reserved PBS = Max (Max flow PBS, flow CBS)
- TL reserved CBS = flow CBS
POINT-TO-POINT EVC OVER T-MPLS - EPL service

The EPL service reserves the edge port (UNI) usage to only one service.
Other service constraints are
: - service frame disposition is only deliver unconditionally
- L2 CP processing is always tunnel except for PAUSE frames that are discarded
- policing mode of Ethernet flow is only color blind
- only guaranteed CoS of Ethernet flow is allowed
- no specific traffic classification is applied to the Ethernet flow
Apart from service characteristic values, the same management of the EVPL service
applies.
MULTI POINT-TO-MULTI POINT EVC OVER T-MPLS - EVPLAN service

The EVC contains a set of EVC terminations at the edge nodes. There is a set of core
PWs interconnecting a set of core nodes, in full-mesh modality. The core PWs are always
bidirectional. The core nodes are also edge nodes when they have EVC terminations.
All edge nodes are also core nodes and, in the top-down workflow, they are automatically
interconnected by the system with a full mesh of core PWs (top-down allocation phase).
In the bottom-up workflow, the operator has to manually select the full-mesh of core PWs
(bottom-up allocation phase).
If an edge node is not a core node, then it must be interconnected to one core node with
one unidirectional or bidirectional spoke PW for each EVC termination in the edge node.
A core node contains one Virtual Switch Instance (VSI). The VSI is a split-horizon
bridge, in the sense that no traffic egressing from one core PW is allowed to ingress
another core PW. An edge node contains at least one EVC termination.
The case where all EVC terminations are present in one single edge node is allowed.
The same UNI and the same tunnel infrastructure could be shared between different
services, point-to-point or multi-point services.
DUAL-HOMED EVPLINE SERVICES FOR HYBRID T-MPLS NETWORK

The management of hybrid ring-closure scenarios, requires the introduction of a the

Dual-Homed EVPLINE service type.
The Dual-Homed EVPLINE service is always bidirectional, while the infrastructure PWs
can be:
- bidirectional, in the hierarchical topology scenario

Broadband TeleVision (BTV) service

The BTV service is a rooted-multipoint service (aka bidirectional E-TREE service w/

packet replication) for video distribution from one root EVC termination towards many
leaf EVC terminations. The BTV traffic flows in the downstream direction for video
distribution, but it could need also upstream traffic for video channel selection.
It is needed to block traffic from leaf to leaf
Broadcast service

The broadcast service is a rooted-multipoint service (aka unidirectional E-TREE service

w/ packet replication) for traffic distribution from one root EVC termination towards
many leaf EVC terminations. The broadcast traffic flows only in the downstream
direction.
High-Speed Internet (HSI) service

The HSI service is a rooted-multipoint service (aka bidirectional E-TREE service w/o
packet replication), namely a service characterized by one EVC termination as root and
all other EVC terminations as leaves.
It allows connecting one main site with many remote sites of the same customer
(back-hauling) or one main site with many remote sites associated to different customers
(broadband access).
The HSI traffic flows both in the root to leaf direction (downstream) and in the leaf to
root direction (upstream). The downstream and upstream directions have usually different
bandwidth characteristics.
The features are:
- it is possible to have different bandwidth characteristics for downstream and upstream
traffic
- there is no need to replicate packets originated by the root termination towards more
than one leaf termination

Managing T-MPLS tunnels

T-MPLS tunnel description
Tunnel definition

Tunnels are point-to-point logical connections between NNI ports. The tunnel route spans
one or more T-MPLS sections.
The same tunnel can carry one or more PW. The tunnel purpose is to enhance scalability
of T-MPLS logical connections.
Tunnels as LSPs

Tunnels are Label Switched Paths (LSP). The Tunnel terminations correspond to:

A label Push at the ingress LER.

Aa label Pop at the egress LER.

T-MPLS manages the T-MPLS tunnel creation in the database, requested by user
(bottom-up approach) or by PW creation (top-down approach). The T-MPLS Tunnel, or
T-MPLS Path, is a logical entity that represents point-to-point connections between NNI
ports. The tunnel route can span one or more T-MPLS sections or one or more underlying
tunnels. The T-MPLS tunnel is an example of Label Switched Path (LSP).
Purpose of the tunnel

The tunnel purpose is to enhance the scalability of T-MPLS logical connections. The
tunnel can carry one or more client services (PW), it can be involved in a protection
schema (linear colon, linear plus, or MPLS Ring).
The tunnel supports OAM capabilities: the user can instantiate and enable the
Maintenance End Points (MEPs) on tunnels terminations.
System configuration of the tunnel

The system is able to configure a tunnel between NNI ports belonging to contiguous
T-MPLS domains using only the sections present in T-MPLS DB. A tunnel cannot be
created using other underlying tunnels. Only E-LSP tunnels are supported.
User creation of the tunnel

The tunnel creation can be performed by the operator using the T-MPLS GUI or
automatically during a client service definition. When creating the tunnel, the operator
can fully specify the tunnel route by means of section constraints or can specify only the
end NNI ports with, optionally, a partial or complete list of section constraints. The tunnel
creation is an operation that defines the tunnel and reserves the resources in T-MPLS DB.

T-MPLS tunnel description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

When creation fails

If the operation fails, the tunnel is put in defined state with working state
failedToAllocate value and the system notifies the cause of the failure. While in
defined state, the operator can remove the tunnel or modify the input parameters (edge
points, section constraints, and so on) and perform again the creation.
Successful creation

If the creation completes successfully the tunnel is in allocated state. Tunnel creation is
the same for static, dynamic, and mixed tunnels. In all cases, the system is required to
compute the tunnel nominal route. The static case and the dynamic case differ only in the
way the nominal route is provisioned.

creation phase

The system perform the following actions:

The system checks that the section constraints describe a fully connected route
between the end nodes.
The system checks that the tunnel PHB profile is supported by the domain Egress
PHB Profile.
The system defines the tunnel and updates the T-MPLS DB allocating the tunnel
along the section constraints.
If the operator does not specify the bandwidth parameters, the system creates the
tunnel with associated null TD (PIR=CIR=0 and PBS=CBS=0 ).
If the operator does not constrain the underlying Virtual Transport (by means of VT
parameter), the system allocates the tunnel on the default VT.

The reserved CIR parameter is always equal to the TD CIR parameter, except when an
allocated PWs is over one implemented tunnel. In such case, the tunnel reserved CIR
represents the CIR required to support the PW committed bandwidth, while the TD CIR
represents the committed bandwidth of the implemented tunnel.
When the supported PWs are implemented, TD CIR is enlarged to match the reserved
CIR. If the PWs are deallocated, the reserved CIR is reduced down to the TD CIR value.
The alarms enabling rule tells if the alarm correlation for this tunnel is enabled or not. It
tells also when the correlation has been enabled, either at tunnel implementation or
subsequently by manual enabling command. In case of alarms enabling-onimplementation or manual-enabling, the system creates MEPs with default values. The
user is also allowed to set MEP attribute values.
The PM enabling rule tells whether the performance monitoring for this tunnel is started
or not. It tells also when the monitoring has been enabled, either at tunnel implementation
or subsequently by manual start command. In case of PM enabling-on-implementation
or manual-enabling after the implementation, the operator has also to specify the
granularity of the measures to be started.
The routing constraints are specified in terms of underlying T-MPLS sections. With VT
management, the constraint can also be further refined selecting the VT logical
connection over the selected T-MPLS section. The association between Tunnel and VT is
provisioned by means of TL1.

Allocate T-MPLS tunnel

When to use

This operation is performed when the user wants to find a path route between the two
extremities of a T-MPLS tunnel.
Related information

For information about T-MPLS tunnel, see: T-MPLS tunnel description (p. 16-97).
route

Before the allocation operation, the user has given a complete path route in term of
constraints (T-MPLS Pseudo Wire List). Constraints can optionally be associated with the
T-MPLS Labels. See Add a constraint to an LSP tunnel (p. 15-56).
The 1350 OMS PKT checks the continuity of the route.
If the T-MPLS tunnel is only one, the route is already defined. In this case, the constraint
List is not mandatory. The Pseudo Wire is identified by the T-MPLS tunnel extremities
given during the definition. Even not mandatory, it can be useful for the user to gives a
specific T-MPLS label.
If the user gives a T-MPLS Label in the constraint list, the system checks the availability
of the T-MPLS Label. If the T-MPLS Label. is used by another T-MPLS tunnel or
T-MPLS section, 1350 OMS PKT chooses and reserves automatically an available
T-MPLS label.
bandwidth

The system calculates the effective bandwidth of the T-MPLS tunnel according to the
associated Traffic Descriptor (see the table).
Each T-MPLS Pseudo Wire of the given route must provide the effective bandwidth of the
T-MPLS tunnel. Available Bandwidth of Pseudo Wire is greater than or equal to Effective
bandwidth of T-MPLS tunnel.

In the case Best Effort traffic contract, no effective bandwidth is reserved. In this case, for
each Pseudo Wire, a maximum number of Best Effort T-MPLS tunnel is checked.

For all traffic contract, CIR must be less than or equal to PIR and PIR must be less than or
equal to Pseudo Wire Total bandwidth.

Implement a T-MPLS tunnel

When to use

This function implements a T-MPLS tunnel.

Related information

For information about T-MPLS tunnel, see: T-MPLS tunnel description (p. 16-97).
Implementation phase

The tunnel provisioning can be static, dynamic, or mixed. Static means that the tunnel is
provisioned directly by NMS. Dynamic means that the tunnel is provisioned through
control plane. In mixed provisioning, PKT manages the tunnel creation and activation,
partially in the data plane and partially in the control plane.
Each NE involved in the T-MPLS tunnel is provisioned as following:

If does not exit in the NE, Traffic Descriptor is created.

The LER connections and the LSR connections are added to the NE.
Extremities are activated.

If tunnel alarm enabling rule is on-implementation MEPs are automatically created and
activated on tunnel terminations at this stage.
If tunnel PM enabling rule is on-implementation, PM counting is automatically started
on tunnel terminations at this stage.
If at tunnel creation time the operator specified one PHB profile (selecting from a
portfolio of profiles available on domain basis) different from default, PKT automatically
implements the corresponding Node-PHB profiles on all tunnel segments. Similarly,
based on the tunnel bandwidth parameters, PKT automatically creates in each crossed NE
the corresponding TD.
If the tunnel uses an adaptive VT, PKT automatically configures VT bandwidth as
follows:

VT Reserved CIR = Sum (LSP CIR), where the sum spans all allocated and
implemented LSP (tunnel or PW) directly supported by the VT, including current
tunnel, is unchanged.
VT CIR = Sum (LSP CIR), where the sum spans all implemented LSP (tunnel or PW)
directly supported by the VT, including current tunnel.
VT PIR = Max (LSP PIR), where the max is computed for all implemented LSP
(tunnel or PW) directly supported by the VT, including current tunnel.

tunnel states

The T-MPLS tunnel is updated with the following states:

Provisioning State: Implemented (or Partially Implemented).

Working State: Normal.

If the tunnel were using a dedicated Node-PHB profile, the profile is automatically
deleted from the NE. If the tunnel were using a dedicated TD, the TD is automatically
deleted from the NE.
If the tunnel uses an adaptive VT, PKT automatically reconfigures VT bandwidth as
follows:

VT Reserved CIR = Sum (LSP CIR), where the sum spans all allocated and
implemented LSP (tunnel or PW) directly supported by the VT, including current
tunnel, is unchanged.
VT CIR = Sum (LSP CIR), where the sum spans all implemented LSP (tunnel or PW)
directly supported by the VT, excluding current tunnel.
VT PIR = Max (LSP PIR), where the max is computed for all implemented LSP
(tunnel or PW) directly supported by the VT, excluding current tunnel.

Tunnel states

The user chooses a T-MPLS tunnel and requests its de-implementation. After operation,
then the working state is set to de-implementing and no traffic can be carried by it.
Before you begin

The system is running.

The system is properly configured.
The system is connected by MS-GUI.
The MS-GUI is set to map mode.
Conditions

To get a positive result:

The provisioning state of the selected T-MPLS tunnel must be set to Implemented
or Partially implemented.
The T-MPLS tunnel must carry no implemented T-MPLS Pseudo Wires.

Result: The command triggers the following behavior: PKT automatically selects one

target NE hosting the VSI and sends one SNMP SET request with MAC flushing
forced = true. Target NE flushes all learned entries in the MAC table. Target NE
generates R-APS message towards all other HUB nodes. Other HUB nodes, upon
detection of R-APS MAC flushing message, perform MAC@ table flushing for the
VSI instance associated to EVC.
The force MAC flushing state is not persisted by PKT, since after flushing, the
attribute is automatically reset to false by NE.

Redundancy creation types

PKT supports the creation of Tunnel Redundancy:

Tunnel 1-to-1-open protection Tunnel one-to-one-open protection (p. 16-166)

PW Dual-point-to-point protection (p. 16-167)

Tunnel one-to-one-open protection

Tunnel one-to-one-open protection is set via GUI wizard.

The tunnel creation accomplishes the following functions:

Selection of CPE working port and protecting port

Allocation of DHOME protection block on CPE node
Allocation of working tunnel termination on HUB working node
Allocation of protecting tunnel termination on HUB protecting node

Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Enabling of signal degrade MAC flushing on HUB termination

The working and protecting tunnel converge on the same CPE node on node side,
while on the other side they terminate on different HUB nodes

For 1-to-1-open tunnel, by default, the GUI creation wizard proposes CV enabling =
true. PKT creates MEPs and enables CV-TX/Rx with the specified CV period value
on both working and protecting tunnels.

PW Dual-point-to-point protection

PW Dual-point-to-point protection is set via GUI wizard.

The PW creation accomplishes the following functions:

If no tunnel is specified as constraint and if no suitable tunnel exists, creation of

Tunnel one-to-one-open protection
Allocation of PW CPE termination over working tunnel CPE termination
Allocation of PW HUB working termination over working tunnel HUB termination
Allocation of PW HUB protecting termination over protecting tunnel HUB
termination

MAC Black Hole forwarding prevention

The NE behavior on CPE and HUB nodes coordinates to prevent the MAC black-hole for
downstream traffic generated by the remote HUB.
HUB node triggers MAC flushing and R-APS generation (towards other HUB nodes)
upon detection of one of the following conditions:

Fault detected on a local port inserted into MAC flushing topology

Fault detected on a 1:1 open protected tunnel (due to bidirectional fault)
RDI packet received from CPE node (due to unidirectional fault detected by CPE
node)
R-APS packet received from CPE node (triggered by manual command switch or
WTR elapsed)
R-APS packet received from other HUB node

Interconnection types

Interconnection characteristics:

The interconnection types:

Single Node Interconnection (SNI): only one port is involved
Dual Node Interconnection (DNI): two ports on two different nodes are involved
Dual Point Interconnection (DPI): two ports on the same node are involved
The same node can be involved in different interconnection schemes (with different
ports)
MAC flushing protection can be composed of multiple interconnection schemes
MAC flushing protection can be enabled or disabled also on implemented EVC

IP DSCP/TOS and EtherType

Classification of the frames

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

IP DSCP/TOS and EtherType

Classification of the frames
Additional criteria

The Vlan and Priority based Classification is extended with the following criteria:

IP DSCP/TOS Classification.
Ether Type Classification.

These new Classifications live together with existing Vlan and Priority based
Classification. So the global way to manage incoming Ethernet Frames allows the
definition of more Classification combinations.
Application context

The new classification management is applicable in following contexts:

At Flow Level for Ethernet Connection Oriented Domains (ETS).

At Flow Level for Provider Bridge Edge Terminations (ETS_P).

The Feature is not applicable to MAC and Virtual (ETB) contexts.

The customer equipments (CE) at the border of the provider network are often IP routers
in charge of managing the frontier between IP and Ethernet. These routers translate the IP
Diff-Service Code Point (DSCP) field (and/or the IP Precedence field) into Ethernet
priority bits (PRI bits). Since not all the routers perform that translation, the NE
functionalities have been extended to IP DSCP management.
The user managing an Ethernet network offers differentiated services also when IP routers
are not able to write the PRI bits of the transmitted Ethernet frames. In fact, the NE
inspects the code-point of the IPv4 header, representing PHB (CoS + Dropping
Precedence). Then NE pushes at the NNI a VLAN tag whose PRI bits value encodes that
PHB information.

Customer description

A customer is the owner of one or more Customer Edges (equipment).

The customer is the final user of the Ethernet services defined across the boundaries of
the managed network.
A customer encompasses a series of Ethernet Services provided by the Service Provider.
User Label is the identifier of a given customer. The user label is used or displayed when
defining or displaying the other entities (that is EVC). The EVC defines the Ethernet
services for the customer.

Managing Ethernet Services

Overview about Ethernet Services
Ethernet Service description

There are two ways to define a Service:

by means of a user action. In this way, the user defines all characteristics of the new
Ethernet service.
automatically after an EVC creation. In this case, all characteristics of the service
must be derived as much as possible from the EVC characteristics. This action is
automatically performed by 1350 OMS PKT).

Ethernet service classification

The Ethernet service is a concept useful to define the way in which end-to-end Ethernet
connections are organized:

Ethernet Line (E-Line): for point-to-point connectivity. E-line services are used to
create Ethernet private line services, Ethernet-based Internet access services, and
point-to-point Ethernet VPNs.

Ethernet LAN (E-LAN): for multipoint-to-multipoint (any-to-any) connectivity.

E-LAN Services are designed for multipoint Ethernet VPNs and native Ethernet
Transparent LAN services.

Ethernet service types

Following types of Ethernet services can be defined for each customer:

EPL (Ethernet Private Line Service) (p. 18-17).

EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Private Line Service) (p. 18-18).

EVPLAN (Ethernet Virtual Private LAN Service) (p. 18-18).

Extended EVPLAN (Extended Ethernet Virtual Private LAN Service) (p. 18-18).

HSI (High Speed Internet) (p. 18-19).

Broadcast (p. 18-19).

EPL (Ethernet Private Line Service)

This service consists of a point-to-point EVC that uses dedicated bandwidth. Bandwidth
can be virtual concatenated Sonet/SDH channels or reserved packet bandwidth in a packet
switched network. The bottom line is that the Ethernet frames of the customer stay strictly
separated from others' at the Ethernet layer. The customer always has available the
committed or contracted bandwidth rate also known as CIR (committed information rate).
The Ethernet Private Line is much like today TDM-based private lines. It offers the
benefit of a native Ethernet interface to the customer and to the network user edge
equipment. In a Private Service, no resource is sharing and no UNI Multiplexing. The
network resources used by one Service cannot be used by other Services.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Private Line Service)

For the Ethernet Virtual Private Line, the rules are slightly different. In this service, the
customer still gets point-to-point connectivity, but over shared bandwidth instead of
dedicated. The shared bandwidth can be a TDM channel in the transport network or the
switch fabric bandwidth of switches and routers in the packet network. Features such as
committed information rates (CIR) and excess information rates (EIR) can be offered by
the service provider. They have service performance metrics to support true SLAs. This
service is therefore similar to Frame Relay and its model of creating networks using
PVCs (permanent virtual circuits). The MEF defines the Ethernet Virtual Private Line
service as a point-to-point Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) between two UNIs
(subscribers). The EVPL supports a service multiplexed UNI. It means that multiple
EVCs can share a single UNI. This characteristic is useful when creating hub-and-spoke
architectures in which multiple remote offices all require access to a headquarters.
Multiple customers all require access to a POP (point of presence) of the ISP. The user
can mix connectivity services and managed services.
EVPLAN (Ethernet Virtual Private LAN Service)

EVPLAN allows any edge node to send/receive information to/from others edge nodes. It
supports every Network topology (Point to point, Point to multipoint, Multipoint to
multipoint). It can be based on Connection Oriented or on Connection Less networks
based on 802.1Q (Virtual Bridge) and/or on 802.1ad (Provider Bridge). EVPLANis a
Virtual Service as network resources used by one Service can be used by other Services.
Resource sharing and UNI Multiplexing are allowed. The Ethernet Virtual Private LAN
(EVPLAN) has gone by different names over the past two years. From Virtual Private
LAN Service (VPLS) to Transparent LAN Service (TLS), to Virtual Private Switched
Network (VPSN). Regardless of how EVPLAN is termed, the EVPLan is a network
service providing Layer-2 multipoint connectivity between Ethernet edge devices.
Customer separation is accomplished through encapsulation or Ethernet virtual
connections. The EVPLan is designed as the most cost-effective service for the carrier, as
it can leverage shared transmission bandwidth in the network. As a multipoint service, it
can be complex to administer. Customer service separation by Provider VLAN tags is not
likely to be sufficient because of the limited address space of Provider VLAN IDs (only
4096). Hence other service delivery technologies providing customer frame encapsulation
must be used such as MPLS, MAC-in-MAC, and RPR. The user must also decide how to
implement protection, bandwidth profiles, congestion management, buffering, and so on.
These properties are much more complex to be implement compared to point-to-point
services.
Extended EVPLAN (Extended Ethernet Virtual Private LAN Service)

Extended EVPLAN allows any edge node to send/receive information to/from others
edge nodes. It supports every Network topology (Point to point, Point to multipoint,
Multipoint to multipoint). It can be based on Connection Oriented or on Connection Less
network based on 802.1D (MAC Bridge) or on 802.1Q (Virtual Bridge). This service is a
Private Service as network resources used by one Service cannot be used by other
Services. No resource is sharing and no UNI is Multiplexing.

HSI (High Speed Internet)

HSI is an Internet Access service. The advertised throughput reaches, or which

consistently achieves, speeds over narrowband (128 Kbit/s). Throughput is considered
between the end-user equipment and the first Internet router reached outside the IP
network managed by the Internet provider.
Broadcast

A broadcast is the transmission of a single message to all hosts on the network

simultaneously. Broadcasting is supported on most local area networks (LANs).
Broadcast is also a useful feature in e-mail systems. Multicasting differs from
broadcasting in that it sends the message just to a select list of recipients rather than to
every host on the network. Unicasting is sending a message to a single host. A broadcast
address is a special type of networking address that is used for broadcasting. A broadcast
domain is a logical area in a network that is reachable by a broadcast. The word broadcast
originally meant scattering seed or fertilizer over a broad area rather than placing it in
rows.
Ethernet service containment tree

In the definition of Ethernet service, the used terminations are not specified, they are
defined in the Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) definition.

Recovery consideration in case of error

In case of error, no global rollback is provided.

The execution is immediately stopped at the last useful step (and a message is returned to
the user to describe the occurred problem. The function can be split in term of other sub
functions (create Service, create EVC, .) and consider each sub function as atomic. so
when a sub function fails, the operation fails but for all previous sub functions and no
rollback is possible.
In case of any negative result, the user has two possibilities:

Continue manually supplying all missing operations proceeding step by step.

Managing ETS Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVC)

Managing ETS Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVC)

Overview about ETS Ethernet Virtual Connections
EVC description

The Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) specifies the connectivity among two or more
Ethernet Edge Terminations (UNIs). If they belong to the same Metro Ethernet Network,
the association of Ethernet Edge Termination is implicitly specified, too.
The following main rules govern the EVC:
The EVC is common to Connection Oriented and Connection Less management

a frame sent in the EVC can be delivered to one or more egress EVC Termination
(Ethernet Edge Termination).
a frame sent in the EVC cannot be delivered back to the ingress EVC Termination.
a frame sent in the EVC cannot be delivered to another EVC.

Every EVC is terminated by Edge Ports.

The same Edge Port can be used by different EVCs.
EVC topologies

The EVC can be used in different topologies and can have different properties. In
particular, the EVC can be:

Point-to-point (PtoP): It connects exactly two points (that is, two Ethernet Edge
Ports). It can be unidirectional or bidirectional. It supports only Unicast traffic.
Rooted-multipoint (RMP): A multipoint EVC in which each UNI is designated as
either a Root or a Leaf. Ingress Service Frames at a Root UNI can be delivered to one
or more of any of the other UNIs in the EVC. Ingress Service Frames at a Leaf UNI
can only be delivered to one or more Root UNIs in the EVC.
Multipoint-to-multipoint (MPtoMP): It connects two or more points. It can be
unidirectional or bidirectional. It supports only traffic Unicast.

The Role of Edge Port

Depending on the EVC topology, every Edge Port used by a given EVC assumes a
specific Role.

In PtoP topology, the two ports assume the "both" role (that is, root + leaf).
In PtoMP topology, one port assumes the "root" role while all the others assume the
"leaf" role.
In MPtoMP topology, all ports assume the "both" role (that is, root + leaf).

Resource Reservation for Private Services

Overview

When the user defines a new Service Type, an important aspect is to define the expected
usage of physical resources. In particular, the management of Resource Sharing attribute
introduced at EVC level. This parameter defines the global policy, in terms of
privacy/sharing of UNI (Edge Ports) and Transport Links.
To manage the issue related to Shared or Dedicated Transport Link usage, the Resource
Sharing attribute at EVC Level can assume following values.

Full: the EVC Service under definition can use every resource without any restriction.

Private UNI: the EVC Service under definition must use Private UNI, that is UNI

uniquely used by that EVC Service.

Private Link: The EVC Service under definition must use Private Links, that is
Transport Links uniquely used by that EVC Service.
Private UNI and LINK: The EVC Service under definition must use Private UNI and
Private Links, that is chosen Transport Links and UNIs are uniquely used by that EVC
Service.

Notes:

This case allows a selection of the parameters.

Frame delivery

Frame delivery types are the following:

Unicast Service Frame Delivery: MAC ACL configuration on Edge Ports can

influence the behavior. It verifies if the MAC ACL can be used to filter all unicast
address. For Connection Oriented EVCs transporting Unicast frames, the default
value is assumed always equal to Deliver Unconditionally. For Connection Less
EVCs, the default value is Deliver Conditionally (depending on filtering set on UNI).
The default value is modifiable and it does not affect real traffic due to the fact that
MAC ACL is not known to 1350 OMS PKT. The MAC ACL is managed through
Navigation, The full compliancy is in the user hands.
Multicast Service Frame Delivery: MAC ACL configuration on Edge Ports can
influence the behavior. It must be verified if the MAC ACL can be used to filter all
multicast address. For Connection Oriented EVCs transporting Multicast Frames, the
default value is assumed always equal to Deliver Unconditionally. For Connection
Less EVCs or when IGMP is used, the default value is Deliver Conditionally
(depending on filtering set on UNI). The MAC ACL is managed through Navigation.
The full compliancy is in the user hands.
Broadcast Service Frame Delivery: MAC ACL configuration on Edge Ports can
influence the behavior. It must be verified if the MAC ACL can be used to filter all
broadcast address. For Connection Oriented EVCs, the default value is assumed
always equal to Deliver Unconditionally. For Connection Less EVCs, the default
value is Conditional (depending on filtering set on UNI). The MAC ACL is managed
through Navigation. The full compliancy is in the user hands.

C-VLAN and CoS Preservation

C-VLAN and CoS Preservation:

C-VLAN Preservation ensures that each packet exiting the EVC has the same VLAN

Id information that it had when it entered the EVC.

The following relation is respected: VLAN Id Egress UNI = VLAN IdIngress UNI.
C-VLAN Preservation attribute must be defined at EVC definition and is modifiable

before EVC allocation.

C-VLAN CoS Preservation ensures that each packet exiting the EVC has the same
Priority Bits information that it had when it entered the EVC.

The following relation is respected: Priority Bit at ingress = Priority Bit at egress .

Managing End-to-End Ethernet Virtual Connections

(E2E EVC)
Overview about E2E Ethernet Virtual Connections
Introduction to End to End EVC connection

The following two modalities can be used in creating an End to End EVC connection:

bottom-up. This modality requires the separate creation of the EVCs within their
domains, then the user will join the different EVCs.
top-down. This modality is completely automatic. The user creates the full EVC over
different domains and all relevant commands are forwarded to the subordinate
network.

Managing Extended Ethernet Virtual Connection

Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVC) span over only one domain, ETB or ETS, at a time.
It is possible to create an End-To-End EVC (E2E EVC), crossing one ETB domain and
one ETS domain, which are connected by Inter-Domain-Links.
E2E EVC Categories

The categories of E2E EVCs are:

Full E2E EVC (p. 18-76)

Raw E2E EVC (p. 18-76)

Full E2E EVC

Full E2E EVC is a E2E EVC that is created in the top-down way, it is defined by end
points and other EVC parameters, and the fragment EVCs are created then accordingly.
Full E2E EVC must be consistent, its fragment EVCs must match each other and the E2E
EVC itself. If, for any reason, the consistency is not kept, it becomes a raw E2E EVC.
Raw E2E EVC

Raw E2E EVC is an E2E EVC that is created in the bottom-up way, there are fragment
EVCs, which are joined to create the raw E2E EVC. It is used mainly in the Takeover,
having in the network already existing groups of EVCs, which can be joined into E2E
EVCs. Raw E2E EVC does not have to be consistent with its fragment EVCs. Raw E2E
EVC can be created also from a full E2E EVC, which is not consistent any more. If a raw
E2E EVC reaches a level of full consistency, it can become a full E2E EVC.

EVC Prevented Actions

When an EVC is a part of a Full E2E EVC, any direct modification of its attributes may
affect the E2E EVC it belongs to, and also other fragment EVCs that belong to the same
E2E EVC. Therefore only the EVC attributes User Label, Comment and External Mark
can be modified. The EVC cannot be deleted.
In order to do any of these actions, directly to the EVC, the parent E2E EVC must be
changed to be a Raw E2E EVC, and then all the actions are allowed.

Full EVC Takeover Procedure

When to use

When the PKT is deployed in a network where Network Elements and Ethernet
Connectivity (network wide) are already in place, then the need to take in charge such
Ethernet Connectivity is a must for PKT Network Manager.
Related information

The Full EVC Takeover Online procedure is applicable to all kind of Connection
Oriented, Connection Less and T-MPLS based EVCs and covers all managed topologies.
1. Connection Oriented EVC:
The Takeover is applied at Ethernet Segment Level. The Takeover is applied on all
Ethernet Segments types, unicast and multicast : the EVC which contains them are
automatically updated;
2. Connection Less EVC:
The Takeover is applied directly to the desired EVC. The Takeover is done on all
EVC types
3. Connection T-MPLS EVC:
The Takeover is applied directly to the desired EVC. The Takeover is done on all
EVC types
Note: The usage of the Offline Takeover procedure forces the shutdown and the
subsequent restart of PKT processes in order to let the Takeover Procedure work.
Using this procedure, there is no need to shutdown the services.
Before you begin

The system is running.

The system is properly configured.
The system is connected by MS-GUI.
Procedure

T-MPLS Takeover

T-MPLS Takeover description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

T-MPLS Takeover
T-MPLS Takeover description
T-MPLS Takeover Key features:

T-MPLS Takeover procedure is aimed to discover existing T-MPLS infrastructure (i.e.

tunnels and pseudo-wires) from the network, and import it into PKT database.
physical connectivity must be described
Circuit correctness checks only tunnel/PWs defined coherently in all the NEs involved
are uploaded
(e.g., two terminations must be found; traffic descriptor parameters must be equal along
the circuit; T-MPLS in-labels must match the out-labels, etc).
Takeover of 1+1 protected tunnels
Takeover of 1+1 APS Protections Groups defined in the NEs when tunnels are already in
PKT database.
Takeover of T-MPLS profiles (Traffic Descriptor, PHB, L2-encapsulation).
Takeover of all tunnels/PWs OR only tunnels/PWs terminating in a node.
Description of main steps

Define via NPR the physical/logical connectivity supporting T-MPLS, i.e., ethernet
physical-connections or SDH paths. This will result in the definition of links-over-cable /
links-over-SDH in PKT.
Assign via PKT these links to T-MPLS domain. This will result in the definition of
T-MPLS nodes and sections inside PKT database.
Start Takeover operation from T-MPLS domain OR, if only a small part of the network is
involved, from one of the T-MPLS nodes (in this latter case, choice is left to operator
whether to discover all circuits or only those terminating in the node).
This will result (if the circuit were defined correctly in the network) in the tunnels/PWs
objects (in implemented state) inside PKT database.
Check in the lists that tunnels/PWs have been uploaded

Overview about Traffic Descriptor
Traffic Descriptor description

The Traffic Descriptors describes the characteristics of an Ethernet Segment in term of

Class of Service (CoS) and bandwidth.
Another step toward the MEF alignment is provided by possibility to display bandwidth
parameters following both IETF definitions (as already available) and MEF definitions.
For reminder, the following definitions are applicable for IETF: CIR, PIR, PBS, CBS
while the following one are applicable for MEF: CIR, EIR, CBS, EBS.
The existing relationships are described as in the following:

EIR = PIR CIR .

EBS = PBS CBS .

Three Traffic Descriptors are created by default during the 1350 OMS PKT installation.

Managing Traffic Classifiers

Overview about Traffic Classifiers
Traffic Classifier description

The 1350OMS-PKT realizes a flow classification.

The 1350OMS-PKT is capable to distinguish different flows that are passing through the
same port or transport link using a Traffic Classifier
The Traffic Classifier describes the characteristics of an Ethernet frames on an Ethernet
Segment. Ethernet frames can be either tagged or untagged.
Three Traffic Classifiers are created by default during the 1350 OMS PKT installation.
The classification can be done with one or more of the following criteria:

Vlan Tag + Priority

IP DSCP/TOS
EtherType

When a VlanTag+Priority criteria is defined two flows are considered different if they
have different (or different sets of) VLAN Ids and/or VLAN Priorities.
A classification with IP DSCP/TOS criteria allows to identify distinct flows (at UNI/IWI)
basing on IPv4 frame.
The EthertType classification criteria is based on type/len field of Ethernet frame when it
assumes the Type meaning.
Each Ethernet Segment is characterized by a set of Traffic Classifiers that, in combination
with classification mode (Priority/DSCP), univocally determine which frames belongs to
it.
Each Provider Bridge Ingress Flow is characterized by a set of Traffic Classifiers that, in
combination with Classification Mode ("Priority"/"DSCP"), univocally determine which
frames passes through it. See also IP DSCP/TOS and EtherType (p. 18-6)
Classification criteria are not mutually excluded therefore some combinations of they are
allowed

Managing Ethernet ETS Edge Physical Ports

Overview about Ethernet edge physical ports
Ethernet edge physical ports description

The Ethernet edge physical ports represent the border of the network managed by the
1350 OMS PKT.
They are the extremities of Ethernet Services, EVCs, and Ethernet Segments and they
represent UNIs and IWIs.
An Ethernet edge physical port is in the Ethernet Domain, the image of an Ethernet
Physical Port (PPT) or an External Termination Point (ETP) in the Construction Domain.
Ethernet edge physical port attributes

The fundamental attributes of an Ethernet physical edge port are:

The Activation State that tells whether the port is active or not. If active, the port can
carry traffic/is carrying traffic.
The VLAN Type (that identifies the VLAN Tag protocol Type used to distinguish
tagged and untagged frames and to form new VLAN Tags using push operations).

Ethernet edge physical port cannot be explicitly created or deleted by the user: Port is
automatically created when a proper PPT or ETP is created. Port is automatically deleted
when the related Construction object is deleted.
Ethernet edge physical port and VLAN

Whenever a new Ethernet edge physical port is created, it comes with an Activation State
and a VLAN Type that is aligned with what defined in the NE to which the Edge port
belongs. If the edge port is ETP then the Activation State is Down and the VLAN Type is
the default one (that is, 8100 hexadecimal).
In the scope of MEF alignment, a set of attributes is added to Ethernet Edge Port
(intended as UNI).
The Edge ports support the VLAN Type according to the board they belong to. The
boards like ISA PR EA supports any VLAN Type. The boards like ISA PR ES supports
only the standard VLAN. The boards like ISA E/FE/GE and ISA ES1/4 do not support
any VLAN.

Modify an edge port

When to use

This function allows to modify the characteristics of a selected edge port.

Related Information

For more information, refer to Ethernet edge physical ports description (p. 18-168).
Details when modifying the edge port characteristics:

Max Number of EVC: the number of EVC that must be allowed on that UNI. ( > = 1).

Service Multiplexing: new attribute for all Edge ports.

Default value:
Yes for ETS, ETS_P, ETB (Virt).

No for ETB (MAC).

Modifiable in all cases except ETB (MAC).

This attribute is checked against the other attributes like: Max Number of EVC,
Bundling and AllToOneBundling. The check is performed at attribute set and at UNI
usage.

Bundling: checked if the EVC can be mapped with one or more VLAN, not checked

if one EVC can be mapped only with one VLAN.

All to one Bundling: checked if the EVC maps all VLAN existing on that UNI (that
is, one EVC only on that UNI), not checked if the mapping is performed differently.

Before you begin

The system is running.

The system is properly configured.
The system is connected by MS-GUI.

Managing Ethernet Transport Links

Overview about Ethernet Transport Links
Ethernet Transport Link description

The Ethernet Transport Link represents the elementary link that supports the connectivity
provisioned by the Ethernet Traffic Management Domain, that is, Ethernet links (and by
extensions EVCs and Services).
An Ethernet Transport Link is the image, on the Ethernet Domain, of a Transport Link of
the Construction Domain.
The Ethernet Transport Link cannot be explicitly created or deleted by the user. The
Ethernet Transport Link is automatically created when a Transport Link dedicated to
Ethernet is created and is automatically deleted when the related Transport Link is
deleted.
Transport Link attributes

Important attributes for a Transport Link are the Configuration State and, considering its
extremities, the Activation State and the VLAN Type.
To be able to transport Ethernet traffic, the extremities of the Transport Link must be
"activated", that is, a specific configuration must be performed on the NEs that host
terminations to activate them.
For this reason, at creation time, the Activation State of the Transport Link terminations is
checked (uploading it from the corresponding NEs) and each non-active termination is
activated.
To manage VLAN tagged frames, a port (and in particular an end point of a Transport
Link) must be configured with a proper VLAN Tag Protocol Type (used to distinguish
tagged and untagged frames and to form new VLAN Tags using push operations).
The VLAN Type attribute of the Transport Link extremities is managed in two ways:

at creation time, the VLAN Tag Protocol Type for each Transport Link extremity is
uploaded from the related NEs and the VLAN Type attribute is set. If in the 1350
OMS PKT there is no VLAN Type equivalent of the uploaded VLAN Tag Protocol
Type, a new VLAN Type (with a proper user label) is created to model the latter.
an operation is provided to configure the VLAN Tag Protocol Type of the extremities
of a Transport Link after its creation.

Transport Link states

At any time, the configuration state of an Ethernet Transport Link could be recalculated
and set to:

Configured: If both extremities are active and are configured with the same VLAN

Tag protocol type.

Partially Configured: If only one extremity is active or when both extremities are

active but are configured with two different VLAN Tag protocol types.
Not Configured: If both extremities are not active.

Configure an ETS Transport Link

When to use

This function permits to change the VLAN Protocol Type of Transport Link extremities.
Related Information

The VLAN Type is not an attribute of the Transport Link. The VLAN Type is an attribute
of its extremities (that is, Transport Link terminations). So, VLAN Type is displayed in
the extremity window of the Transport Link.
For these reasons, while the Edge port modification command acts on one Edge port (and
its attributes), the Transport Link configuration command acts only on the Transport Link
terminations (that is, a shortcut for the user, to avoid him to configure separately the two
terminations.
For details see Overview about Ethernet Transport Links (p. 18-184).
Transport Link states

After confirmation, the Configuration state of the Transport Link is recalculated and set
to:

Configured: if both extremities are active and are configured with the same VLAN

Tag Protocol Type.

Partially Configured: if only one extremity is active (while the other is not active) or

when both extremities are active but are configured with two different VLAN Tag
Protocol Types.
Not Configured: if both extremities are not active.

Transport Link VLAN

The ports at the extremities of the Transport Link are active and configured with the
VLAN Type:

They recognize as tagged only the Ethernet frames that are tagged with the same
VLAN type.
Any push operation (that is, VLAN constraint of type "Push") defined on them uses
the specified VLAN type to create (and push) new VLAN tags.

Overview about Ethernet Segments
Ethernet Segment description

An Ethernet Segment is a unidirectional end-to-end connection between two Ethernet

physical ports (that is, between two PEs).
Every Ethernet Segment is terminated by means of two Ethernet Edge ports which
represent the terminations in the Provider Edges (where the Ethernet traffic "enter
in"/"exit from" the managed network).
An Ethernet Edge Physical port can support different Ethernet traffics.
Each Ethernet Segment is built by means of a series of Ethernet Links.
Ethernet Links (Transport Links) are unidirectional connections terminated by means of
two Ethernet Link Terminations.
The conjunction between two Ethernet Links is made by a cross connection named
Ethernet Switch.

Bandwidth check for Transport Links

The following bandwidth checks are executed for SDH and Cable Transport Link:

The sum of all CIR of Ethernet Segments allocated using the Transport Link must be
less or equal the total bandwidth of the Transport Link; this check is executed
separately for forward and backward direction.
The PIR of Ethernet Segment must be less than or equal to of the total bandwidth.
The number of best effort Ethernet Segments must be less than or equal to the
configuration limit.

Bandwidth check for MPLS connections

For MPLS Transport Link:

The PIR, CIR, CBS and PBS of Ethernet Segment must be less than or equal to the
same values associated to Transport Link.

Bandwidth check for multicast connections

The bandwidth check for multicast connections is executed taking this connection type in
account. If more Ethernet Segments use the same Transport Link, the bandwidth
reservation is considered only for one Ethernet Segment.
For the extremities of the Ethernet Segment, the following bandwidth checks are
executed:

For Aend and Zend: The sum of CIR of the Ethernet Segment that uses the port as
Aend/Zend + the CIR of the Ethernet Segment that is allocating <= rate of the port.

Another check that must be executed is: only one Color Profile can be defined on the
same port; the Color Profile is managed based on port granularity, when a same port is
used by different Ethernet Segment, the same Color Profile must be defined.
A VLAN compatibility check is also performed (that is, verify that the same termination
ingress of connection with the same VLAN is not used more than once).
The Transport Link usage state is set to busy the first time that Transport Link is used by
one Ethernet Segment.
The bandwidth parameters of all involved Transport Links are updated taking into
account the bandwidth configured for the Ethernet Segment; the available bandwidth
(guaranteed) is decreased of the CIR value associated to the Ethernet Segment.
Then, the Ethernet Segment List is updated with, for each selected Ethernet Segment,
Provisioning state set to Allocated.
The provisioning state of the related EVC is updated in Allocated or Partially Allocated.

VLAN Push/Pop at ETS NNI Interface

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

VLAN Push/Pop at ETS NNI Interface

Overview

The Vlan Push/Pop mechanism is extended to ETS domain, to allow the encapsulation of
untagged or C-Vlan Tagged Ethernet frames, with a Provider VLAN Tag. This behavior is
used to route the traffic in segregated way either only internally to the managed network
or for inter-working purpose. The difference for this operation is that the definition of
VLAN constraint is performed before the segment allocation. Early definition allows the
VLAN stacking on NNI.
See Ethernet Segment description (p. 18-197).
Sequence of operations

The new sequence of operations is:

Create an Ethernet Segment.

Associate a Traffic Classifier.
Definition of route Constraints (allowing to define the full routes of Ethernet traffic).
Definition of VLAN Constraints, defining the points where the Push/Pop on NNI
must be performed.
Allocation of the Ethernet Segment.
Implementation.

Managing VLAN types

Overview about VLAN types
VLAN types description

The VLAN type entity models the VLAN Tag Protocol Type allowing the user to give a
name (user label) to a specific VLAN Tag Protocol Type (either standard or not) to ease
its subsequent usage in the scope of VLAN management.
The VLAN can be associated to an Ethernet edge port or a Provider Network before the
creation of the Ethernet Segment (mapping model). If VLAN is associated to an Ethernet
Segment (tunneling model), association induces the propagation to the edge ports. A
VLAN Protocol type value could be duplicated according to its usage.
Note: The creation and modification of a VLAN Tag Protocol Type over an active
Ethernet interface has an influence on the active traffic. Only if the Ethernet Interface
is not affected by Active traffic, this operation is allowed. The provisioning state of all
EVCs and all Ethernet Segments using the interface is checked.

Connection Less Networks

Bridge Network Management
Bridge network description

The aim of bridge network management is to provide support for emerging

Ethernet-based Connection Less services like the virtual private LAN service (EVPLAN)
connecting in a transparent way various customer sites across a metropolitan network
(Metro-Ethernet).
An Ethernet switch learns the MAC addresses of end-hosts and associates them with
appropriate ports on which the end-host frames arrive. In case of mesh networks,
loop-free connectivity is assured by a distributed computation carried through control
frames and resulting in a spanning tree. In the context of Metro-Ethernet, a customer
network is a collection of multiple networks (LANs) that are physically connected by
means of a service provider network and operate as if all those multiple networks are
connected (virtually) as a single LAN.
Ethernet infrastructure participating to switching can be partitioned into virtual LANs
possibly overlapping and each one identified by a VLAN-Id. The Q-tag inserted in the
Ethernet frames can be used to limit packet broadcasting to the switches participating to
the VLAN. Packets tagged with a VLAN are never sent to interfaces that are not part in
the VLAN and therefore traffic segregation is achieved. This way, VLAN-Ids allow
additional pruning of the loop-free logical connectivity provided by the spanning tree.
Provider bridge added value

A provider bridge network brings the following main added values with respect to a
virtual bridge one:

If different customers use the same C-VLAN, for each customer a different P-VLAN
is stacked over that C-VLAN. Stacking segregates the traffic sourced by one customer
from the one sourced by the other, inside the provider network.

It is possible to perform in the NE traffic classification and traffic description of the

ingress frames at the edge of the provider domain:

Traffic classification allows sharing an IWI interface among different customers.

Traffic description allows enhanced quality of service management.

The introduction of the ISA ES family allows offering Ethernet bridging functionality
over SDH network and cables.
Bridge network functional areas

Bridge network management is based on the following functional areas:

Network construction.
Bridge infrastructure management including: Transport link activation/deactivation.

Bridge Traffic Management

Overview

The traffic management is related to the elementary EVC management based on

Connection Less networks (MAC Bridge, Virtual Bridge, or Provider Bridge).
Bridge Traffic management handles the set-up of data traffic toward the customer edge,
STP tuning and VLAN distribution inside and at the edge of the domain.
Following main functions are in the scope of the bridge traffic management.

EVC association to bridge infrastructure.

Manual or automatic VLAN distribution inside 1350 OMS PKT resources.
STP parameters set-up inside 1350 OMS PKT resources.
VLAN and STP provisioning to the NE.

Bridge EVC

One EVC is an elementary EVC that spans the scope of a single bridge domain. In case of
MAC domain, no VLAN are managed and there exists at most only one EVC for the
domain. In case of Virtual or Provider domain, more EVC can insist on the same domain.
The EVC is associated to a set of edge ports of a bridge domain. EVC association to
domain is automatic for MAC or when the edge ports are specified at EVC creation-time:
the terminations of one EVC must correspond to edge ports belonging to the same bridge
domain. All or a subset of the domain edge ports can be selected as EVC terminations (all
by default in a MAC domain).
In case of Virtual or Provider domain, one EVC is optionally characterized by one VLAN
bundle, that is, a group of VLAN. Moreover, in case of Provider domain, we have to
distinguish the outer VLAN, that is, the C-VLAN, from the inner VLAN carried inside
the domain, namely the P-VLAN. This distinction is expressed by means of a
C-VLAN/P-VLAN mapping. The C-VLAN/P-VLAN mapping is defined at EVC level
since it must be uniform for all EVC terminations. Any given inner VLAN can be
associated to only one EVC supported by the same domain.
EVC Terminations

The EVC Termination is a:

MAC Bridge Termination if it uses a MAC Bridge Port.

Virtual Bridge Termination if it uses a Virtual Bridge Port.
Provider Bridge Termination if it uses a Provider Bridge Customer Port.

The EVC Termination is conceptually associated to:

One Ethernet interface (either local or remote) in case of MAC Bridge Termination.
One set of ETB virtual ports insisting on the same Ethernet interface in case of Virtual
Bridge Termination. This set the set of ETB virtual ports corresponding to the
C-VLAN of the EVC ( One ETB virtual port correspond to one C-VLAN).
One ETS flow or set of ETS flows in case of Provider Bridge Termination. The flow
or set of flows referenced by the Traffic Classifiers is associated with the C-VLAN of
the EVC.

Spanning Tree Instance Management

Network robustness

In Connection Less networks based on Bridge solution, the risk of network loop and
packet flooding can lead to network congestion. The usage of Spanning Tree Protocols
adds robustness to the network, as the active topology is automatically recalculated by the
ISA boards after the detection of one of the following conditions:

Alarms on Transport Links or edge ports.

Add/remove of NE or Transport Links in the Domain.
Tuning of STP parameters (for example: bridge priority) by management system.

STI tree topology

Network congestion can be avoided supplying a tree topology to the internal used
resources. The tree topology can be obtained in two different ways:

Manually by the user: the user statically shapes a tree in the network manually
configuring Transport Links to be used.
Automatically by ISA Boards: the user configures and enables the usage of Spanning
Tree Protocols inside a given Domain (STP/RSTP/PVSTP/MSTP) to let ISA Boards
to autonomously determine an active tree shape (also called active topology) inside
the network.

STI resources

The spanning tree instance (STI) is the set of NE, ENE and Ports carrying control frames
(BPDU) that participate to the same distributed computation. The spanning tree NE
(ST-NE) represents the image of one NE or ENE in the scope of the STI.
Each ST-Termination is characterized by a port state and a port forced state. The port state
tells whether the port is forwarding or discarding data frames in the scope of the STI. The
port forced state tells whether the control on the port state is delegated to the network
(dynamic forced state) or manually constrained by user (blocked or forwarding forced
state). The ST-termination port forced state can be configured acting on the ST-link, that
means, configuring both end-points with one single operation.
Port configuration

On a per-STI basis, configuring the port forced state to forced blocking. One or more
ST-links can be manually excluded from the data forwarding process. On the other hand,
configuring the port forced state to forced forwarding implies that the ST-link is
constrained to participate to packet forwarding.
In both cases, either configuring the port forced state to forced blocking or forwarding,
the ST-links are manually excluded from the network computation: these links belong or
not to a static tree topology due to the constraints of the user. A failure on forced
forwarding links is not recovered by the spanning tree protocol.

Spanning Tree Instance Management

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The active STI is constituted by NE, ENE and Ports carrying both BPDU and customer
data frames. The Ports belonging to the spanning tree instance (STI) are NNI interfaces
carrying control frames (BPDU): the active NNI interfaces carry both customer data
frames and control frames. A distributed computation (control frame forwarding)
determines dynamically which interfaces must actually forward data frames. The active
spanning tree is a dynamic snapshot of the network status.
Static tree topology

A static tree topology is a subset of the active STI, built by user forcing manually the
control plane port forced state to forwarding for all ST-Terminations in the tree. The user
can statically determine part or all of the STI active topology. A static tree topology can
introduce loops in the network.
The number of spanning tree instances for a domain depends on the associated STP type:

None - no spanning tree instance.

STP/RSTP - only one spanning tree instance for all VLAN.
PVSTP - one spanning tree instance per-VLAN.

MSTP - one spanning tree instance per set of VLAN.

Each STI represents a control plane, namely a virtual infrastructure dedicated to the
transport of control frames (that is, the BPDU carrying the spanning tree computation). A
dedicated set of BPDU is exchanged for each STI.
By design choice, the EVC is always associated to a single spanning tree instance (STI),
whatever STP type is running. to have a service exploiting different spanning tree
instances, we must define different EVC for that service. The associated STI can be
shared with other EVC. As a consequence, in case of PVSTP, the EVC must be
characterized by a single VLAN.

VLAN management

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

VLAN management
Overview

Virtual LANs are introduced for segmenting the network into different broadcast (or
multicast) domains. The VLAN-Id is used to forward Ethernet traffic only toward those
Ethernet ports (UNI) that are members of a given VLAN, ensuring that the tagged frames
are only accessible by the proper end-user and therefore realizing traffic segregation.
4096 different VLAN can be used in one Ethernet network.
VLAN management helps solving security and privacy, bandwidth management, and
increasing the performance.
The use of VLAN

VLAN can be used anyway to switch traffic in different contexts:

Defining Ethernet VPNs (EVPLAN service in Connection Less networks).

Switching broadband access traffic to the selected ISP. For instance, the use of
customer-based VLAN for routing purposes in the network couples the operational
aspects of the customer and network user domain.
Allowing inter-working the provider network characterized by its own VLAN tag
with the network of another provider using not standard VLAN tag. This
inter-working is achieved by means of VLAN push and pop operations. Provider
network inter-working at the Layer-2 control protocol level can follow a transit model
(tunneling) or a peer-to-peer model (mapping mode).
In the scope of Virtual Bridge management, the VLAN assume the meaning of
Customer VLAN (C-VLAN).
In the scope of Provider Bridge management, the VLAN assume the meaning of
Provider VLAN (P-VLAN). A scalable solution design can be designed mapping the
received Customer VLAN on one internally defined P-VLAN.
Both in case of Virtual and Provider Bridge management, Ethernet frames can flow in
the network only after having properly provisioned the required VLAN inside the
network (C-VLAN for Virtual and P-VLAN for Provider).

EVC Data Plane

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

EVC Data Plane

Overview

Each EVC spanning the scope of a bridge domain has an associated data plane and active
topology. The EVC data plane is the set of NE, ENE and Ports enabled to carry user data
frames belonging to that EVC. It contains the set of NE and Ports where the set of VLAN
characterizing the EVC has to be distributed.
The EVC active topology is the set of NE, ENE and Ports belonging to the same Domain
and actually carrying user data frames. For example, the active topology differs from the
data plane when a link is blocked by the spanning tree computation to avoid loops. In
fact, the EVC active topology is actually the projection of the EVC data plane onto the
active topology of the STI supporting the EVC: the data path for the EVC is therefore
obtained keeping into account both the VLAN distribution and the dynamic computation
of the associated STI.
The EVC data plane and active topology are also virtual entities since they are specific
for the VLAN bundle characterizing the EVC and, therefore, are specific for that EVC.
Data frames characterized by different VLAN Id can generally follow different data paths
across the bridge network, but data frames belonging to same EVC are constrained, by
design choice, to follow the same data path to allow QoS management on a per-EVC
basis.
When edge ports (that is, UNI or IWI interfaces) are associated to the EVC, they belong
to the EVC data plane but not to the active STI topology, since control frames coming
from CE or from another domain must be filtered or tunneled. UNI and IWI interfaces are
not allowed to enter the active STI topology.
On the other hand, NNI Transport Links can belong to both EVC data plane and active
STI topology: they can carry both data frames and control frames.
Active topology

The Ports belonging to the EVC active topology are therefore characterized by:

The VLAN characterizing the EVC are in the Port member set.
Forced port state equal to forced forwarding (namely they are part of the STI static
active Topology) or.

Forced port state equal to dynamic and port state equal to forwarding (namely, they
are part of the STI dynamic active topology).

The EVC life cycle

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The EVC life cycle

Overview

The EVC life cycle is tightly related to the life cycle of the associated EVC data plane
and that of the supporting STI.
At Domain activation time, the default STP protocol type is enabled on all NE and also
the NNI Ports are activated. This activations implies that control frames are allowed to
flow in the network. In case of STP/RSTP/MSTP, the default STI is therefore
implemented in the network. The default STI is referred as the CIST (Common Instance
Spanning Tree) in case of MSTP. We extend this terminology also to the case of
STP/RSTP, where it represents the only instance available.
In case of MAC Domain, only one EVC is created automatically by the system at Domain
activation time. In case of Virtual or Provider Domain, the EVC must be explicitly
created by user and more than one EVC can insist on the same Domain.
EVC creation or modification

At creation/modification time, the EVC is associated to a set of edge ports and, in case of
Virtual or Provider Domain, to a set of VLAN. Association to edge ports implies the
automatic association with the underlying Domain. The EVC is characterized by a
full-mesh/ not full-mesh attribute used to drive the VLAN distribution inside 1350 OMS
PKT resources (at EVC data plane allocation time). In case of Provider Bridge, user must
specify a C-VLAN/P-VLAN mapping.
At EVC Termination creation/modification time, user can optionally specify a default
user priority on a per-Port basis (in case of MAC Bridge or Virtual Bridge edge port). In
case of Virtual Bridge only, the user can also specify an 801.2p priority bit regeneration
table.
The EVC data plane is one-to-one with the EVC and is automatically defined at EVC
creation time. Similarly, the EVC data plane is automatically deleted at EVC deletion
time. to allow EVC allocation, the EVC data plane must be allocated first. EVC data
plane allocation means defining the physical infrastructure for the data plane. The system
must include the VLAN in the EVC bundle in the VLAN member set of the ports that are
part of the virtual data plane specific for that EVC. All VLANs in the EVC share the same
virtual data plane.
EVC data plane allocation implies VLAN distribution to Edge Ports, corresponding to the
VLAN distributed on EVC Terminations. The UNI/IWI association to EVC data plane is
therefore automatically established by the system. The VLAN of each EVC Termination
is allocated on the respective UNI/IWI.
The VLAN in the EVC bundle have to be uniformly allocated to the NNI. The NNI
association is performed either manually (not full-mesh case) or automatically (full-mesh
case).

The EVC life cycle

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

In case of full-mesh, the association is performed at EVC data plane allocation-time: the
system automatically distributes the VLAN in 1350 OMS PKT MIB to all Transport
Links (that is, NNI Ports) in the Domain. In case of not full-mesh, the user must use a
specific function to add/remove a set of Transport Links to the allocated EVC data plane.
EVC allocation

To summarize, when a full-mesh EVC Data Plane is allocated, all VLAN in the bundle
are distributed to all edge ports and Transport Links in the domain. In case of not
full-mesh, the allocation operates only on edge ports, while the user has to add the
selected set of Transport Links; then the system automatically and uniformly distributes
all VLAN in the bundle to the selected Transport Links. to perform a non-uniform VLAN
allocation over the Transport Links used by a service, the user is therefore required to use
different EVC.
EVC allocation means to select a supporting STI and to associate the selected STI to the
set of VLAN characterizing the EVC. The way to select a STI for the EVC depends on
the domain STP type:

None: spanning tree instance is not supported and the infrastructure must be a tree
topology. The user must ensure that the topology is loop-free.
STP/RSTP: the default spanning tree instance (the CIST) is implicitly selected by the
system. The CIST is automatically implemented at domain activation time.
PVSTP: for the single VLAN characterizing the EVC, a new STI is automatically
allocated by the system at EVC allocation time.
MSTP.
In this case, the user has two possibilities:

Allocate the EVC over an existing STI (the CIST by default).

Require to allocate the EVC over a new STI to be automatically created and
allocated by the system.

Provisioning details

EVC de-allocation implies losing the relation with the supporting STI. If the STI is not
the CIST, at de-allocation time of the last EVC, the supporting STI is automatically
deleted. The CIST is automatically de-implemented at bridge domain deactivation time.
The EVC Data Plane de-allocation can be performed individually or cascaded
automatically after EVC de-allocation.
The EVC Data Plane de-allocation is a pre-condition for EVC deletion. The EVC Data
Plane de-allocation consists in removing of the VLAN characterizing the EVC from the
Edge Ports (that is, UNI/IWI Ports) and from all associated Transport Links (that is, NNI
Ports). Therefore, the EVC data plane de-allocation behaves in the same way both in case
of full-mesh and not full-mesh EVC. In case of not full-mesh EVC, the user can remove
one or more Transport Links from the allocated EVC data plane, before implementing it.
To allow EVC implementation, the supporting STI and the EVC data plane must be
implemented first.

Layer-2 Control Protocol Processing

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Layer-2 Control Protocol Processing

Overview

The user optionally defines, on EVC basis, which control Protocol must be tunneled or
discarded. Such configuration must be propagated to all EVC terminations to ensure that
all EVC terminations use the same Tunneling criteria. A check is needed also toward
Layer-2 Control Protocol Processing defined at UNI level. This check allows a congruent
management of Control protocols crossing the EVC.
In case of Connection Oriented EVC, the value defined for the EVC is predefined to
Tunnel for all L2 Control Protocols and this value is propagated to contained Ethernet
Segments.
In case of Provider Bridge based EVC, the value can be freely defined by the user for the
EVC. The value is propagated to all EVC Terminations.
In case of MAC Bridge or Virtual Bridge based EVC, the EVC is always tunneling (the
UNI setting is fully operative).
If the Layer-2 Protocol Processing is not defined at EVC level, then this definition is
delegated to each single EVC Termination (for Provider Bridge Based EVCs) while for
Ethernet Segment (Connection Oriented EVCs) is fixed to Tunnel for all L2 Protocols.
This way to operate is maintained as backward compatible with previous 1350 OMS PKT
releases but is not considered as MEF compliant because do not ensure that at EVC level
a common policy on Control Protocols is applied.
During EVC Definition, for each used UNI, a check is performed respect to the Max
Number of EVC defined on each UNI.

Bandwidth profiles

The bandwidth profiles defined for each EVC termination have to be intended in the
following way:

In case of Connection Less EVCs based on Provider Bridge, the bandwidth profiles
defined for each EVC termination represents the bandwidth profile for the traffic at
the ingress of that UNI (and it is immediately checked).

In case of Connection Less EVCs based on Virtual Bridge, the bandwidth profiles
defined for each EVC are automatically defined as Best Effort Class Of Service
having the PIR fully equal to the UNI rate.
In case of Connection Less EVCs based on MAC Bridge, the bandwidth profiles
defined for each EVC are automatically inherited from UNI characteristics (in fact all
UNI of a MAC Bridge supports only the Bandwidth Profile per UNI) and the traffic
parameters.

Bandwidth Profile per UNI

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Bandwidth Profile per UNI

Overview

Each Bandwidth Profile configured on a given UNI represent the way the traffic entering
in ingress to that UNI is shaped and managed in term of Bandwidth. The following
possible values for Bandwidth Profile are manageable at UNI level:

Bandwidth Profile per UNI (p. 19-18). Bandwidth description is shared for all
connection starting from this ingress UNI.
Bandwidth Profile per EVC (p. 19-18). Bandwidth description is shared for all
connection starting from this UNI in the scope of this EVC. Each EVC has one or a
group of VLAN.
Bandwidth Profile per CoS (p. 19-18). The bandwidth applies to traffic defined by
one or a group of VLAN and one Priority bit.

Bandwidth Profile per UNI

The Bandwidth Profile is configured with a bandwidth description on the edge port before
having created any service on this port. In this case, all the services that start on this UNI
share this bandwidth (in the limits described in the profile). The provisioning is
accomplished by means of the management of the FlowGroup concept. For each EVC
Connection Oriented based starting from this UNI, the UNI Bandwidth profile is
propagated along the used route (the pseudo CAC implemented at 1350 OMS PKT level
takes into account either current per flow Traffic Descriptors and FlowGroup Traffic
Descriptor). In case of UNI belonging to MAC bridges, traffic parameters are
automatically defined as Best Effort CoS with the PIR value equal to the UNI rate.
Bandwidth Profile per EVC

The bandwidth profile is supplied during each termination addition describing the
bandwidth usable and shared for all the connection of the considered EVC. This setting
applies on the added termination only; that is, one port used by the EVC can work in per
EVC mode and another port used by the same EVC can work in per Cos mode. The
provisioning is accomplished by means of the management of the FlowGroup concept.
For each EVC Connection Oriented based starting from this UNI, the UNI Bandwidth
profile is propagated along the used route (the pseudo CAC implemented at 1350 OMS
PKT level takes into account either current per flow Traffic Descriptors and FlowGroup
Traffic Descriptor).
Bandwidth Profile per CoS

The bandwidth profile is described by one VLAN or group and one Priority bit or set of
bits. This profile is applicable for one EVC termination: so the EVC termination is used
per Cos or is used per EVC. The description of the bandwidth profile is done by the way
of one Traffic Descriptor composed of Bandwidth profile attributes (CIR, PIR, CBS,
PBS) and also one QoS attribute, standing for the description of the PHB (Per Hop

Behavior), that is, the internal NE mode for managing the traffic. The PHB (Per Hop
Behavior), represents, on equipment base, the QoS expected by a Customer at EVC level
(that is, on Per Network Behavior).
The QoS definition

The QoS attribute can be automatically determined by the 1350 OMS PKT from the
bandwidth parameter values supplied in the profile. This behavior is the default behavior
but, to remain as flexible as the equipment (introducing 8 QoS following the same
formula for the profile values), the user can force this value to a specific one according to
the equipment formula.
In addition to the Traffic Descriptor, two other concepts complete the QoS definition:

the Policy mode: such management is today aligned with IETF and whose extension
in the scope of MEF compliancy is in the scope of 1350 OMS PKT.
The Color Profile: such management is aligned with IETF concepts for Color Aware
traffic management. This management is not considered MEF. The Color Profile
management, is maintained unchanged in respect to previous 1350 OMS PKT
releases. The user must plan the usage or not.

Bandwidth Profile Per UNI attributes

The Bandwidth Profile per UNI is one of the possible management definable on UNI
basis relatively to MEF compliancy.
The Bandwidth Profile Per UNI is described by the following attributes:

Committed Information Rate (CIR).

Excess Information Rate (EIR).
Committed Burst Size (CBS).
Excess Burst Size (EBS).

Color Mode (CM).

Coupling Flag (CF).

Manual and default operations

This management is mutually exclusive with the two other possible management
(Bandwidth Profile per EVC and Bandwidth Profile per EVC per Cos). The Bandwidth
Profile per UNI must be defined on a given UNI in two ways:

By the user through a manual operation before the port is used.

Automatically as the default value for a given UNI depending on restrictions existing
on specific NE configurations.

After having configured a UNI supporting a Bandwidth Profile per UNI, each EVC using

profile).
From the traffic point of view, all traffic entering in a UNI (from a CE) is in competition
with other traffics for the probability to be transmitted in the transport network.
An EVC using a UNI being configured with a Bandwidth Profile per UNI can use other
UNIs having different Bandwidth Profiles configured (either per UNI, Per EVC, Per
CoS).
EVC provisioning

It is important to differentiate the expected management behavior (particularly for

allocation and provisioning steps) in the various cases of Connection Oriented (ETS) or
Connection Less (ETB) management.
ETS Case:

When an EVC lying on an ETS domain uses a UNI defined to support a Bandwidth
Profile per UNI, the Ethernet Segment starting from that UNI inherits (as Traffic
Descriptor Definition) the information defined in that Bandwidth profile.
When the EVC is allocated, this implying the allocation of contained Ethernet Segments,
that TD (reflecting the BwdProfilePerUNI) is propagated along the route of the Ethernet
Segment.
When the EVC is Implemented, this implying the implementation of contained Ethernet
Segments, that TD (reflecting the BwdProfilePerUNI) is provisioned on all affected NEs
along the route of the Ethernet Segment.
In terms of Provisioning, the SNMP objects to be provisioned is a FlowGroup (reflecting
that EVC on the UNI) with associated a Traffic Descriptor.

When an EVC lying on an ETB Provider Bridge domain uses a UNI defined to support a

profile.
This inheritance can happen both at EVC Definition and during EVC Termination

The Traffic Descriptor reflecting the BwdProfilePerUNI is defined and associated to the

When the EVC is Implemented, this implying the implementation of EVC Termination,
the TD that reflects the BwdProfilePerUNI, is provisioned on the affected NEs.
ETB Virtual and MAC Bridge Case:

When an EVC lying on an ETB Virtual or MAC Bridge domain uses a UNI defined to
support a Bandwidth Profile per UNI, the EVC Termination (reflecting the traffic entering

Bandwidth profile.
This inheritance can happen both at EVC Definition and during EVC Termination

The TD reflecting the BwdProfilePerUNI is defined and associated to that EVC

When the EVC is Implemented, nothing happens on NEs, because in the scope of Virtual

Configure a transport Link

When to use

This function permits to change the VLAN Protocol Type of Transport Link extremities.
Related Information

For information about Transport Link management, see: Overview about Transport links
(p. 14-4).
The VLAN Type is not an attribute of the Transport Link. The VLAN Type is an attribute
of its extremities (that is, Transport Link terminations). So, VLAN Type is displayed in
the extremity window of the Transport Link.
For these reasons, while the Edge port modification command acts on one Edge port (and
its attributes), the Transport Link configuration command acts only on the Transport Link
terminations. The command is a shortcut for the user, not to configure separately the two
terminations.
The ports at the extremities of the Transport Link are active and configured with the
VLAN Type and, hence:

They recognize as tagged only the Ethernet frames that are tagged with this VLAN
type.

Any push operation (that is, VLAN constraint of type "Push") defined on them uses
the specified VLAN type to create (and push) new VLAN tags.

PCP Table Profile compliant with NE

PCP Table Profile possible values are As Container, 5P3D, 6P2D, 7P1D, 8P0D; to be

Workflow for Bridge Management

Overview about Workflow
Description

The workflow to manage bridge is part of the more general workflow for the Ethernet
Service management.
For information about bridge network, see: Bridge Network Management (p. 19-4).
Spanning Tree Protocol is a control protocol running inside a Bridge Network able to
build tree based Active Topologies. The following Spanning Tree Protocols are available:
STP, RSTP, PVSTP, MISTP.
For information about Spanning Tree, see: Spanning Tree Instance Management
(p. 19-8).
Domain definition

A Domain is a distributed infrastructure made of NE, ENE, Transport Links and Edge
Ports managed together to supply a Connection Less infrastructure. Its main properties
are the bridge type (MAC, Virtual or Provider) and the STP type (STP, RSTP, PVSTP,
MSTP or none). For Connection Oriented infrastructures, a default domain encompassing
all such entities is considered existing by definition.
There can be two ways of defining a domain:

Define a unique domain that includes all the NE and ENE that supplies the same
service or.
Define more domains that includes NE and ENE that supplies the same service, but
are subdivided for example by customer.

The ETS domain is the default domain and is equal to the MAC domain.
The Domain List window presents all the domains and their attributes.
The domain ETS is created by defaults and cannot be deleted.
Domain configuration

The Provider Bridge operation Mode allows to define the global QoS policy to be applied
to all Ethernet Ports of a given Provider Bridge. Such value is mirrored on all Ports when
each Port has configured the PCP Port Table Profile with its default value (that is, 0).
The Provider Bridge Operation Mode can be configured on NE basis.
The new attribute Provider Bridge Operation Mode (5P3D, 8P0D, 7P1D, 6P2D,
CustomerDefined) is added to the Domain.

Workflow for Bridge Management

Overview about Workflow

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The value is derived from the corresponding value set at NE level, from all NEs contained
in the Provider Bridge Domain. In particular, if all NEs have a homogeneous
configuration of Provider Bridge Operation Mode, then the Domain reflects a real value,
in all other cases, the value for the domain is set to "None".
The Attribute can be configured at any time, this implying the automatic provisioning of
the chosen value on all NEs contained in the Provider Bridge Domain. This operation
forces all the ETB ports present in each Provider Bridge to be reset at the same Bridge
NE PbOperationMode value and must be made paying attention.
This attribute is meaningful only in case of Domain configured as Provider Bridge.
The management performed at Domain level, ensures that all NEs contained inside the
Provider Bridge domain really use the same QoS management. In fact, when all NEs are
defined to use the same Priority Code Point All incoming Ethernet frames are interpreted
in the same way: a defined meaning is assigned to each received sequence of Priority bits
and such meaning/behavior is made common to a whole domain.
NE configuration

The Provider Bridge operation Mode allows to define the global QoS policy to be applied
to all Ethernet Ports of a given Provider Bridge. Such value is mirrored on all Ports when
each Port has configured the PCP (priority code point) Port Table Profile with its default
value (that is, 0).
The Provider Bridge Operation Mode can be configured on NE basis.
The configuration of the Provider Bridge Operation Mode on a Network Element is
possible as described in the procedureConfigure a Network Element (p. 19-98).

EVC Bandwidth Management

Dynamic change capability
Object applicability

The possibility to change dynamically the bandwidth assigned to an active (that is,
implemented) Ethernet connectivity is one of the most important capabilities in the scope
of Data Network Management.
The dynamic change (increment/decrement) of bandwidth is possible for:

Connection Oriented EVC:

for Connection Oriented Networks, in the following cases:
The EVC is multicast, the traffic is broadcasted from one source UNI to leaves
UNI.
All contained Ethernet Segment are balanced that is, have the same bandwidth
parameters definitions.
All contained Ethernet Segment are not balanced that is, have different bandwidth
parameters definitions; new parameters can cause the increment for one or more
Ethernet Segment and the reduction for others.

Connection Less EVC:

for Networks based on Provider Bridge, in the following cases:

All EVC Terminations are balanced that is, have the same bandwidth parameters
definitions.
All EVC Terminations are not balanced that is, have different bandwidth
parameters definitions; in this case it is possible that new parameters cause the
bandwidth increment for some EVC termination and the reduction for some other.
Ethernet Segments for Connection Oriented Networks, when the bandwidth of a
single specific flow is changed.

EVC Terminations for Connection Less Networks, Provider Bridge based when the
bandwidth of a specific EVC termination is changed.
LSP Tunnel for MPLS networks, when the LSP Tunnel bandwidth is changed.

VC-LSP for MPLS networks, when the VC-LSP bandwidth is changed.

EVC Bandwidth Management

Function Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Function Description
Object status applicability

The applicability of the Bandwidth management is restricted to the following cases:

Implemented and allocated EVC (Connection Oriented Networks) which

automatically affects all contained Ethernet Segments.
Implemented and allocated EVC (Connection Less Networks) which automatically
affects all contained EVC Terminations.
Implemented and allocated Ethernet Segments (Connection Oriented Networks).
EVC Terminations of Implemented and allocated EVCs (Connection Less Networks,
Provider Bridge based).
Implemented and Allocated LSP Tunnels.
Implemented and Allocated VC-LSPs.

The Bandwidth management can also be requested on Allocated resources.

Implemented Object applicability

Consider the following cases:

EVC Connection Oriented Based (Implemented) (p. 19-113).

EVC Connection Oriented Based (Allocated) (p. 19-114).

EVC Connection Less Based (Implemented or Allocated) (p. 19-114).

Ethernet Segments (Implemented) (p. 19-115).

Ethernet Segments (Allocated) (p. 19-116).

EVC Connection Oriented Based (Implemented)

When all contained Ethernet Segments are implemented, acting at EVC level significantly
simplifies the effort for the user that is requested to provide only once the new bandwidth
parameters, either to enlarge or to reduce current values.
Acting at EVC level, the bandwidth change is propagated to all contained Ethernet
Segments; in particular:

The EVC must be implemented, all Ethernet Segments must be implemented.

The bandwidth change is applied on each Ethernet Segment.
When the bandwidth change is successfully propagated to all Ethernet Segments, the
EVC continue to be Implemented.
The new Class of Service must be compliant with the one in use by contained
Ethernet Segments (in particular, if the EVC is realized by non homogeneous Class
Of Services, then to avoid errors, the user must proceed on Ethernet Segment basis).

EVC Bandwidth Management

Function Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

In case of errors, the procedure is immediately stopped and one of the following
situation are identified:
the EVC provisioning state is put in partially Implemented: this case occurs when
at least one Ethernet Segment become partially Implemented because of
unrecoverable errors during provisioning.
The EVC provisioning state remain as implemented: this case occurs when an
Ethernet Segment has no room to allocate new bandwidth parameters. In this case
the Ethernet Segment remain implemented with old bandwidth parameters.

EVC Connection Oriented Based (Allocated)

When all contained Ethernet Segments are Allocated, acting at EVC level significantly
simplifies the effort for the user that is requested to provide only once the new bandwidth
parameters, either to enlarge or to reduce current values.
Acting at EVC level, the bandwidth change is propagated to all contained Ethernet
Segments; in particular:

The EVC must be Allocated (this implying that all Ethernet Segments are allocated).
The bandwidth change is applied on each Ethernet Segment.

EVC Connection Less Based (Implemented or Allocated)

Acting at EVC level significantly simplifies the effort for the user that is requested to
provide only once the new bandwidth parameters, either to enlarge or to reduce current
values.
Acting at EVC level, the bandwidth change is propagated to all contained EVC
Terminations; in particular:

Care must be taken about the new Class of Service that must be compliant with the
one in use by contained EVC Terminations. If the EVC is realized by non
homogeneous Class Of Services, then to avoid errors, the user must proceed on EVC
Termination basis.
The EVC can be implemented, if all EVC Terminations are activated, or allocated, if
the bandwidth change for EVC Terminations is accomplished only inside 1350 OMS
PKT database.
The bandwidth change is applied on each contained EVC Termination.
In case of errors, the procedure is immediately stopped. The EVC provisioning state
remain with the previous provisioning state. The following situation is identified:
if provisioning state was implemented, it remains implemented. This case occurs
when the provisioning for an EVC termination fails (that is the EVC termination
remain active with old bandwidth parameters).
In this case the EVC become made by non homogeneous (in terms of
bandwidth) EVC Termination.

if provisioning state was allocated, it remains allocated. The EVC become made
with non homogeneous EVC terminations Bandwidth characteristics.

Ethernet Segments (Implemented)

This case covers Implemented Ethernet Segments on Connection Oriented Networks;

The bandwidth change is only admitted in the scope of the same QoS (for example:
change from BE to Guaranteed is not allowed as well as other mixed possibilities).
The bandwidth change is performed through the Ethernet Segment modification: the
parameter modified is the Traffic Descriptor reference, so allowing the Ethernet
Segment to point toward another TD.
The bandwidth change is allowed, without restrictions, on all Transport Links types
(that is Link Over TDM, Link Over Cable and Link Over MPLS).
In case of increment, an internal check is performed along the Ethernet Segment
following the current routing verifying that enough bandwidth is available. In
particular:
In case of positive check,.
- The Ethernet Segments starts pointing to another TD that reflects the new
bandwidth parameters.
- The values of used/available bandwidth values must be updated on used
Transport Links and Edge Ports if an increment on Guaranteed parameter is
required.
- The behavior for bandwidth increment is performed on the Network, starting
from last NE and proceeding in reverse way along the Ethernet Segment routing.
- In case of error during provisioning operation, the global operation is stopped
and the Provisioning state is set to partially implemented.

In case of Negative check:

The operation is stopped, a specific error message is displayed indicating the error
reason. The Provisioning state remains set to implemented.

In case of reduction, no internal checks are needed and the operation is accepted; In
particular:

The Ethernet Segments starts pointing to another Traffic Descriptor, that reflects
the new bandwidth parameters.
If a reduction on Guaranteed parameter is required, the values of used/available
bandwidth values are updated on used Transport Links and Edge Ports.
The behavior for bandwidth reduction is performed on the Network, starting from
first NE and proceeding in forward way along the Ethernet Segment routing.
In case of error during provisioning operation, the global operation is stopped and
the Provisioning state is set to partially implemented.

EVC Terminations

The terminations are Activated EVC Terminations belonging to Implemented or Allocated

EVCs based on Connection Less Networks.
The same behavior is performed both for bandwidth increments and for bandwidth
reduction, no internal checks are needed and the operation is accepted; In particular:

The EVC Termination starts pointing to another Traffic Descriptor that reflects the
new bandwidth parameters.
Only in case of Implemented EVCs, a specific behavior is started to propagate the
modification toward NEs.
The behavior for bandwidth change is performed on the Network, acting on the NE
containing the EVC Termination.
On NEs, a specific Traffic Descriptor creation is needed if a reusable one compliant
with new bandwidth characteristics not exist.
In case of error during provisioning operation, the global operation is stopped and the
Provisioning state of the EVC does not change.

Service Delimiting
Vlan Push/Pop On Provider Bridge UNI/IWI Management
Definition

The Service Delimiting allows the finalization of Vlan Push/Pop operations also at EVCs
UNI/IWI based on Provider Bridge technology.
This function enhances EVC Termination characteristics definition. For this reason, all
the following consideration must be taken into account:

For each EVC termination, the user can define, in addition to existing characteristics,
an optional POP operation to be performed on Ethernet Traffic in the Provider Bridge
Domain at ingress (that is, at UNI/IWI).
For each EVC termination, the user can define, for traffic egress the Provider Bridge
domain (that is, at UNI/IWI):
Define in following way:
One or more Cos.
A PUSH operation for a given Cos.
For each EVC termination, the user must define at least one Input Ethernet Flow or at
least one Output Ethernet Flow.
This operation allowing to cover all following cases:
Definition of "Source" EVC Termination point in Broadcasting Topologies in case
that only Input Ethernet Flows are defined.

Definition of "Sink" EVC Termination point in Broadcasting Topologies, in case

that only Output Ethernet Flows are defined.
Definition of Bidirectional EVC Termination point in Point-to-point,
Rooted-MultiPoint, or MultiPoint-To-MultiPoint topologies. In case that both
Input Ethernet Flows and Output Ethernet Flows are defined, Termination point
can be either balanced or unbalanced. Balanced means having equal I/O
characteristics. Unbalanced means having Input characteristics different from
output characteristics. Characteristics are classification, bandwidth, Qos, and so
forth.

Operation and expected behavior

Operation and expected behavior in service delimiting are:

EVC Definition (Provider Bridge).

At EVC definition, EVC Terminations can optionally be supplied. For each EVC
Termination, the user can define Input or Output Ethernet Flows characteristics.
If the created EVC is empty, then all EVC Termination characteristics definition is
delegated to the operation: Add EVC Termination.

Add EVC Termination (Provider Bridge).

Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) Networks

Provider Backbone Bridge Management
PBB description

Provider Backbone Bridges (PBB) is a networking standard approved by IEEE as 802.1ah

standard.
Provider Backbone Bridges is a set of architecture and protocols for routing of a customer
network over a provider's network
Provider Backbone Bridges allows interconnection of multiple Provider Bridge Networks
without losing each customer's individually defined VLANs.
Provider Backbone Bridges offers a complete separation of customer and provider
domains.
Objectives of Provider Backbone Bridging

PBB is designed to address limitations of Provider Bridge:

VID-space scalability. A 24-bit field is added to each frame to contain an enlarged

space for customer service identification. 16 M services.

FDB-size scalability. The MAC addresses of all customer equipment that passes
through a core node must be learned and/or looked-up in the FDB. If FDB is full,
addresses cannot be learned, so return traffic is flooded and not unicasted: Bandwidth
inefficiency. A backbone MAC destination and source address pair is added to each
frame for forwarding between PBB Nodes. This header hides the Customer
Destination Address and Customer Source Address fields.

PBB frames

The PBB header may take multiple different forms, but the main components of the
header are:

Backbone component:
Backbone destination address (B-DA) (six bytes).
Backbone source address (B-SA) (six bytes).
EtherType 0x88A8 (two bytes).
B-TAG/B-VID (two bytes), this is the backbone VLAN indicator.
Service encapsulation:
EtherType 0x88E7 (two bytes).
Flags that contain priority, DEI and indication, if there are no customer addresses
present (e.g. OAM frames).
I-SID, the service identifier (three bytes).

Original customer frame:

Customer source address (six bytes).

Customer destination address (six bytes).

EtherType 0x8100 (two bytes).
Customer VLAN identifier (two bytes).
EtherType (e.g. 0x0800).
Customer payload.

Bridges learn based on the B-SA and ingress port value and hence is completely unaware
of the customer MAC addresses. I-SID allows to distinguish the services within a PBB
domain.
PBB Services Types

A service is identified by a Backbone Service Instance Identifier (I-SID).

The Service Type is determined by the mapping of Customer Network Port traffic to a
particular I-SID. Service Types (IEEE 802.1ah):

Port based: All untagged and priority tagged frames I-SID. This service type can be
used to connect 802.1Q or 802.1D bridges to a CNP. All S-Tagged frames are
dropped.

S-tagged one-to-one: Frames with a single specific S-VID I-SID.

S-tagged bundled many-to-one: Frames with an S-VID in a specific set of N values
I-SID.
S-tagged bundled all-to-one: Frames with any non-zero S-VID I-SIDcomplement
of Port Based service.

Note: 1350 OMS implementation of some service types is less rigid. For example
Port-based does not necessarily discard all S-tagged frames.
PBB Services Multiplexing

The frames are split in more than one service, each mapped to its own I-SID.
Service Types that are incompatible with Service Multiplexing:

Port Based Service

S-Tagged Service All-to-One

Service Types that can be used with Service Multiplexing

S-Tagged Service 1:1.

S-Tagged Service N:1
Note: A given S-VID can map to only a single I-SID.

Mapping single S-VID to multiple I-SIDs is not allowed:

Can create an unintentional loop in the PBB network.

Loop cannot be guarded by xSTP: PIP-CBP barrier for STPDUs

PBB Ethernet Virtual Connection

MEF defines Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) services:

EVC: Transparent connection service between a set of UNIs

In a PBB context the UNI is a CNP port

The EVCs have been classified in three Service Types:

E-Line: Point-to-point EVC. Connects 2 UNIs bi-directionally.

E-LAN: Multipoint EVC. Connects more than 2 UNIs bi-directionally.

E-Tree: Rooted-multipoint EVC. Connects at least one Root UNI and at least two
Leaf UNIs bi-directionally, but blocking direct traffic between Leaf UNIs

The following Service Types are supported:

E-Line: Any Port-based or S-tagged service can be supported over E-LINE.

E-LAN: Any Port-based or S-tagged service can be supported over E-LAN.

E-Tree: Not supported within PBB: Requires non-standard additions to PBB toolset.
E-TREE service requires that traffic between Leaves is blocked.
Service Multiplexing: E-LINE and E-LAN services can be multiplexed on same CNP
port. Restriction: S-VID to I-SID mapping constraints.

PBB EVC provisioning

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The figure shows that the only provisioning needed to implement an EVC over PBB is
the one done at its EVC Terminations (both the one directly related to the EVC
Termination itself and the one related to the association of the I-SID to the B-VID that is
perfomed on the NNIs of the B-VID in the same NE of the EVC Termination).
Ethernet Ring Protocol (ERP) (p. 20-10)
To implement an EVC over PBB, the system only perform provisioning on the NEs that
host EVC Terminations for that EVC.
This is true only if the EVC is not under OAM.
If the EVC is under OAM, things are different.
In general, OAM is possible for the I-SID (to monitor the single EVC) and for the B-VID
(in order to monitor the virtual infrastructure common to more EVCs).
I-SID monitoring, as for the standard, only takes into account the points where the EVC is
provisioned. This means that internal points are not taken into consideration: link trace is
not so meaningful in that case.
The choice done for PKT is a bit different: we choose to monitor only the I-SID (so, no
B-VID monitoring) but, willing to see also the intermediate points in the network, we
provision the I-SID also wherever the B-VID is, so that a link trace, for example, will
report all the NEs crossed by the traffic.
The provisioning of an EVC under OAM requires the distribution of the I-SID to all the
places wherever the B-VID is distributed (for example: to all the NNIs in the network that
are in NEs that do not host any Termination of the monitored EVC). The distribution of
the I-SID is done in addition to any other I-SID distribution.

ERP Objectives

Suitable to operate in the Ethernet transport plane, which implies Connectionless

forwarding Automatic address learning Ageing and flushing mechanisms
Ethernet Ring Protection (Switching) ERP(S) is standardized by ITU-T to establish a
Carrier Class protection switching mechanism in the Ethernet transport plane. Main
objectives:

Protect single ring and more complicated topologies.

Fast: 50 ms traffic restoration time (Compared with multiple seconds for xSTP).
Suitable to operate in the Ethernet transport plane.
Operate in the Ethernet transport plane implies:
Connection less forwarding.
Automatic address learning.
Ageing and flushing mechanisms.

ERP Protocol Tuning

ERP Protocol Tuning parameters explanation:

Switch behavior [Revertive/Not Revertive]: revert or not to the main resource when
failure clears.

Wait Time to Restore [0..12 Minutes in step of 1 minute]: meaningful only in case the
swicthing behavior is revertive, is the time the main resource must be free of failures
before reverting to.
Hold-Off time [0..1000 millisec in step of 10 millisec]: time to wait, after failure
detection, before starting protection in order to see if other protection recovers the
failure
Guard Time [10..2000 millisec in step of 10 millisec]: during guard time RPL owner
discards the received R-APS OAM frames. It s started according to the ERP state
machine specifications (see ERP specifications for more details)

PBB Introduction

PBB is a type of Bridge domain:

No specific PBB provisioning attributes is necessary. Control protocol is ERP.
Inside PBB domain there are no Provider Bridge NEs. Control protocol is based on ERP
only. In theory there could be a mix of xSTP (Spanning Tree Protocol) and ERP.

Related Information

A Domain is a distributed infrastructure made of NE, External-Network (aka virtual NE),

Transport Links and Edge Ports managed together to supply a Connection Less
infrastructure.
Its main properties are the domain type (ETS, Bridge, T-MPLS), bridge type (MAC,
Virtual, Provider or Provider Backbone Bridge) and the Control Plane Type (ERP, STP,
RSTP, PVSTP, MSTP or none)
The list of possible Control protocols depends on the selected Bridge Type.
In case of PBB the only possible choice for Control Protocol is ERP.

MIP creation policy can be illustrated by an example:

MEG#1, MEG#2, MEG#3 all refers to a given EVC.

MEG#3 is created with none, so no MIPs are created.

MEG#2 is created with All points, so MIPs are created in all the points (ports)
where the EVC is passing through.
MEG#1 is created with Lower-level MEP exists, so MIPs are present only where
MEP of MEG#2 and MEG#3 are present.

Another step towards the MEF alignment is provided by possibility to display bandwidth
parameters following both IETF definitions (as already available) and MEF definitions.
For reminder, the following definitions are applicable for IETF: CIR, PIR, PBS, CBS
while the following one are applicable for MEF: CIR, EIR, CBS, EBS.
The existing relationships are described as in the following:

EIR = PIR CIR.

EBS = PBS CBS.

The frame association to a CoS is performed at the ingress port.

Differentiated quality of service (QoS) management is implemented mapping each CoS to
a specific output queue at the egress port.
Color management allows also frame prioritization within a given forwarding class.

Create PBB EVC

When to use

The function creates a PBB Ethernet Virtual Connection.

Related Information

The user specifies the characteristics of the EVC (userlabel, type, terminations, flows,
etc.) and, in addition:

I-VID
I-SID
Broadcast Domain Containment. (Enabled, Disabled). Refer to PBB EVC Broadcast
Domain Containment (p. 20-76)

The specified B-VID must:

exist;

be in the Domain specified for the EVC;

have been created by the operator (B-VIDs created by ERP BB are not allowed).

The I-SID must not have been already used by another EVC in the same Domain.
The allowed values for the Resource Sharing attribute are FULL or PRIVATE UNI.
The allowed types for a PBB EVC are:

EPL

EVPL

EPLAN

EVPLAN

BROADCAST

If the specified B-VID has a non empty I-SID Bundle, the I-SID specified for the EVC
must be within that bundle.
The creation of the EVC is similar to the creation of PB EVC, except for the fact that the
association between the EVC, I-SID and B-VID is stored.
For information about PBB EVC, Refer toPBB Ethernet Virtual Connection (p. 20-7).

When to use

To allocate a PBB EVC

Related Information

The allocation of a PBB EVC is possible only if the B-VID is at least allocated and is
rejected in all other cases (i.e. when the B-VID is defined).
In no case, a PBB EVC can have an EVC Termination on one NE that is not embraced by
it's B-VID (either through a TL or through a ring). In other words: if no TL or ring
associated to a B-VID reaches/crosses a NE, the latter can't host any EVC Termination
served by that B-VID.
Since no private use of Transport Links is allowed (Resource Sharing only admitted
values are FULL and PRIVATE UNI), no check on Transport Links sharing is performed.
The allocation, that for the most part (EVC Terminations and Flows) is identical to the
one of a PB EVC, specifically concerns:

the allocation of the association between each Port supporting an EVC Termination
and the I-SID

the allocation of the association between the B-VID, the I-SID and all the NNIs,
belonging to NEs where there are EVC Terminations, associated to the B-VID of the
EVC;
for each flow, the allocation of a cross connection that has, as a server at one side, the
I-SID;
if the EVC is under OAM, the I-SID has to be distributed also in all the places where
the B-VID is.

PBB EVC Broadcast Domain Containment

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

PBB EVC Broadcast Domain Containment

Definition

Broadcast domain containment is implemented through the provisioning of I-SID

instances also in intermediate nodes.
Algorithm to determine the involved NEs and ports in a broadcast domain containment
for an EVC:

get all the EVC Terminations and determine the paths between each pair of them (in
other words: given a pair of EVC Terminations, determine a path between them
(inside the involved B-VID, of course), in terms of the rings and/or single TLs that
must be crossed to reach one from the other);
enrich the set of rings and TLs, determined at the previous step, by adding all the
main rings for any sub-ring that is already included in the set;
take all the NEs of the rings and TLs of the set and provision the I-SID there (if not
yet provisioned because of an EVC Termination) associating to it the NNI ports of the
involved B-VID in that NE that are linked to another NE of the set.

Broadcast domain containment provisioning is alternative to I-SID for OAM

provisioning: if broadcast domain containment is enabled no I-SID for OAM is
provisioned.

Within the form of modify/configure the operator is able to change the Broadcast Domain
Containment attribute from "Disabled" to "Enabled".

If the EVC is in implemented state, the impacts are both on DB and on the involved NEs.
Refer toPBB EVC Broadcast Domain Containment (p. 20-76).

Automatic association UNI port - default VT

Automatic association of the default VT to an EVC Termination

At EVC definition time, by default, the EVC termination is associated to the default VT,
only for those cards that support VT management.
The operator can specify at EVC definition time or modify at EVC configuration time,
the reserved bandwidth (ISID-CIR/ISID-PIR) associated to a given EVC termination.
If the reserved bandwidth (ISID-CIR/ISID-PIR) has been not specified by operator at
EVC definition time, then the system assumes:

ISID-CIR = 0

ISID-PIR = VT-PR

At allocation time, each egress I-SID is automatically associated to the default VT of the
ETS-P UNI interface.
When a PBB EVC is allocated, the reserved VT-CR of the default VT is automatically
increased by an amount equal to: ISID-CIR
The reserved VT-PR of the default VT is automatically updated to take into account the
contribution of: ISID-PIR
For the default VT, VT-CR, VT-Reserved-CR, VT-PR and VT-Reserved-PR are
automatically computed according to ANY aggregation criterion in Table 2 of PKT 9.1

Manual association of the user VT to an EVC Termination

The operator is allowed to manually define (during EVC definition) or modify (during
EVC configuration) the association between the I-SID and the VT at the ETS-P UNI (i.e.
the association between an EVC Termination and a VT).
The operator has to specify at EVC definition time and can modify at EVC configuration
time, the reserved bandwidth (ISID-CIR/ISID-PIR) associated to a given EVC
termination. By default, the system assumes that:

ISID-CIR = 0

ISID-PIR = VT-PR

The system checks that the required bandwidth is available on the user VT.

Configuration of the DEI bit

Configuration of the DEI bit support on PBB NNI ports

The operator specifies a PBB NNI port (PNP client type) and tells whether he wants to
activate or deactivate the DEI bit support.
The system configures the port accordingly.
Activating the DEI bit support means that from that port will be possible to manage 8
CoS each with two colors (green and yellow), thus giving a different meaning to the PCP
attribute on the same port: 8P0D means, in fact, 8P8D.
Activating the DEI bit is meaningful (and useful) only for PCP = 8P0D .

Create PBB B-VID

When to use

The function creates a PBB B-VID. B-VID is used as an infrastructure for EVCs.
Related Information

About the parameters:

Domain must be PBB Domain.

I-SID spcify the bundle of I-SIDs allowed to be supported by this B-VID. An empty

set means no restrictions apply.

VLAN ID must not be already assigned to another B-VID in the Domain.
Specified VID must be:
If the request is from ERP BB: specified VID must be in the R-APS B-VID
VLAN Bundle of the Domain.
If the request is not from ERP BB: specified VID must not be in the R-APS
B-VID VLAN Bundle of the Domain.
VLAN Distribution is Manual means the Rings and the Transport Links to be
associated to the B-VID must be explicitly chosen by the operator. Optionally the
operator can choose the ERP instance of each chosen Ring to be associated to the
B-VID. For each chosen Ring for which no ERP instance has been specified the
per-Port ERP instance is automatically chosen. If no ERP instance is specified for a
ring and that ring has no per-Port ERP instance, the creation of the B-VID fails and a
detailed error is reported to the operator.
If VLAN distribution is Manual, the user specify:
a subset of the Rings of the Domain and for each Ring, optionally, the ERP
instance to be used;
a subset of the Transport Links of the Domain that do not already belong to a Ring
VLAN Distribution is Domain Wide means that, once created, the B-VID will have all
the Rings and the Transport Links of the Domain associated to it. In this case the
per-Port ERP of each chosen ring is automatically associated to the B-VID. If no
per-Port ERP exists for at least one ring of the Domain, the creation of the B-VID
fails and a detailed error is reported to the operator.

When to use

The function provisions the elementary objects involved with a PBB B-VID.
Related Information

Provisioning on the involved NEs (i.e. the ones identified during the allocation phase) of
the (in this order):
1. creation of the B-VID instance and of the associations B-VID - Port;
2. associations B-VID - ERP (for any non-per-Port ERP).
Step 1 involves the creation of a row in the opticsIMPbbInstanceTable, in each involved
NE, that contains among the other things the ports to be associated to the B-VID instance
(i.e. the ports, in that NE, belonging to TLs or Rings associated to the B-VID). This
provisioning is requested by EoT to Adaptation.
Step 2 involves the request to ERP BB to perform the association for each involved ERP
(only in case of per-VLAN ERP). Step 2 is not performed for B-VIDs created by ERP BB
(the association, in fact, is provisioned by the ERP BB before invoking the B-VID
implementation; This avoids deadlocks between ERP BB and EoT BB (both being single
threaded processes).
A complete failure on step 1 causes the B-VID to remain in Allocated state.

Domain Wide VID distribution

When to use

The function associates all the Rings and Transport Links of a Domain to a B-VID.
Related Information

This procedure applies to any provisioning state.

Defined case

This procedure applies when the operator requires an existing B-VID in Defined state to
be Domain-Wide distributed.
This operation causes the B-VID to be associated to all the Rings and TLs of the Domain,
as if it was been created with VLAN Distribution = "Domain Wide".
Allocated case

This procedure applies when the operator requires an existing B-VID in Allocated or
Partially Implemented state (in any case, no provisioning is performed) to be
Domain-Wide distributed.
This operation causes the B-VID to be associated to all the Rings and TLs of the Domain,
as if it was created with VLAN Distribution = "Domain Wide" and then immediately
allocated.
This operation could also be seen as an equivalent of a series of ring association
(allocated case) and transport link association (allocated case) in order to associate all TLs
and Rings (only one Ring per Bundle) not associated to the B-VID.
Implemented case

This procedure applies when the operator requires an existing B-VID in Implemented
state to be Domain-Wide distributed.
This operation causes the B-VID to be associated to all the Rings and TLs of the Domain,
as if it was been created with VLAN Distribution = "Domain Wide" and then immediately
allocated and implemented.
This operation could also be seen as an equivalent of a series of ring association
(implemented case) and transport link association (implemented case) in order to
associate all TLs and Rings (only one Ring per Bundle) not associated to the B-VID.
As a result of this operation the B-VID can be either in Implemented (if each TL/Ring
association either failed completely or succeeded) or Partially Implemented (if at least
one TL/Ring association failed half-way) and can be associated to all Rings and TLs of
the Domains or not (in case at least one TL/Ring associated failed completely).
In case of unsuccessful operation the operator is informed of which TLs/Rings where not
associated properly or not associated at all.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ring Association to a B-VID

When to use

The function associates a Ring and an ERP instance to a B-VID.

Related Information

This function applies to any provisioning state.

Defined case

To add a Ring to a B-VID, the operator must specify:

the B-VID
the Ring
an ERP instance on that Ring

For a Ring to be associated to a B-VID, the following must be true:

no other Ring of the same Bundle is already associated to the B-VID (a Ring can't be
associated to a B-VID if another Ring of the same Bundle is already associated to it:
only one ring per bundle can be associate to a B-VID)
B-VID and Ring must belong to the same Domain
B-VID and Ring must not be already associated

If all checks are ok the B-VID is associated to the specified Ring and ERP instance.
Allocated case

This is almost the same case of ring association defined case, in addition the allocation of
the B-VID - Ring association is performed:

allocation on DB of the VLAN Distribution information (for each NE involved, the

two involved Ports are associated to the B-VID)
allocation on DB of the I-SID Distribution information, for each allocated EVC that is
supported by the B-VID:
in case the EVC is not under OAM: the I-SID must be distributed in all the NEs,
of the newly associated ring, that contain at least one EVC Termination
in case the EVC is under OAM: the I-SID must be distributed in all the NEs of the
newly associated ring.

This case applies both to allocated and partially implemented B-VIDs (in any case, no
provisioning is performed).
Implemented case

This is almost the same case of ring association in allocated case, in addition part of the
implementation of the B-VID and of all the implemented EVCs that the former supports
is performed:

for each NE of the Ring in which the B-VID instance has not yet been provisioned:
creation of the B-VID instance and of the associations B-VID - Port
for each NE of the Ring in which the B-VID instance already exists: modification of
the member set of the B-VID instance to include the two ports of the Ring for that NE

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ring Dissociation from B-VID

When to use

The function dissociates a Ring from a B-VID.

Related Information

This function applies to any provisioning state.

Defined case

The operator specifies the B-VID and the Ring.

B-VID and Ring must be associated.
PKT dissociates the B-VID and the Ring (together with the associated ERP instance).
Allocated case

This is almost the same case of ring dissociation (defined case); in addition, before the
removal of the B-VID - Ring association, its de-allocation is performed:

de-allocation of the I-SID Distribution information, for each allocated EVC supported
by the B-VID in all the NEs that will no longer belong to the B-VID once the ring is
removed

de-allocation of the VLAN Distribution information (for each NE involved, the two
involved Ports are dissociated from the B-VID).

In no case a ring can be dissociated from a B-VID if this action leaves an EVC of the
B-VID with an EVC Termination on a NE that is no more used by the B-VID.
In other words: if an EVC Termination belonging to the involved B-VID, is on one of the
NEs of the ring, and, on that NE, there are no other Transport Links or rings associated to
the involved B-VID, the latter can't be dissociated from the ring.
Implemented case

This is almost the same case of ring dissociation (allocated case), in addition, before the
de-allocation of the B-VID - Ring association, its de-implementation and the
de-implementation of the involved part of implemented and partially implemented EVCs
supported by that B-VID is performed:

for each EVC supported by the B-VID:

for each implemented or partially implemented EVC Termination residing on a
NE crossed by the Ring: un-provisioning of the association Port - B-VID - I-SID,
that means modification of a row in opticsIMPbbInstanceTable
if the EVC is implemented or partially implemented, removal of all the I-SID
instances in all the NEs that will no longer belong to the B-VID once the ring is
removed (that means deletion of a row in opticsIMPbbInstanceTable). This also
covers the case of EVC under OAM
un-provision the association between the B-VID and the associated ERP on that Ring
(only in case of per-VLAN ERP)

Association of Transport Link to B-VID

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Association of Transport Link to B-VID

When to use

The function adds a Transport Link to a B-VID.

Related Information

This function applies to any provisioning state.

Defined case

The operator specifies:

the B-VID
the Transport Link

For a Transport Link to be associated to a B-VID, the following must be true:

the TL must not belong to a Ring

B-VID and TL must belong to the same Domain

B-VID and TL must not be already associated

If all checks are ok the B-VID is associated to the specified Transport Link.
Allocated case

This is almost the same case of transport link association (defined case), in addition:

the allocation of the B-VID - TL association is performed: allocation on DB of the

VLAN Distribution information (the two involved Ports of the TL are associated to
the B-VID)

the allocation on DB of the I-SID Distribution information is performed for each

allocated EVC that is supported by the B-VID:
in case the EVC is not under OAM: the I-SID must be distributed at each
extremity of the TL that contain at least one EVC Termination
in case the EVC is under OAM: the I-SID must be distributed at each extremity of
the TL

This case applies both to allocated and partially implemented B-VIDs (in any case, no
provisioning is performed).
Implemented case

This is almost the same case of transport link association (allocated case), in addition part
of the implementation of the B-VID and of all the implemented EVCs that the former
supports is performed:

for each NE at the extremities of the TL in which the B-VID instance has not yet been
provisioned: creation of the B-VID instance and of the associations B-VID - Port
for each NE at the extremities of the TL in which the B-VID instance already exists:
modification of the member set of the B-VID instance to include the extremity of the
TL in that NE;

for each EVC supported by the B-VID:

for each implemented EVC Termination residing on a NE at the extremities of the
TL: provisioning of the association Port - B-VID - I-SID, that can either mean
creation of a row in opticsIMPbbInstanceTable (if the row did not existed) or
modification of a row in opticsIMPbbInstanceTable (if the row did existed)
if the EVC is implemented and under OAM: the I-SID of the EVC has to be
provisioned also in all the NEs at the extremities of the TL that do not contain an
implemented EVC Termination.

Dissociation of Transport Link to B-VID

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Dissociation of Transport Link to B-VID

When to use

The function removes a Transport Link from a B-VID.

Related Information

This function applies to any provisioning state.

Defined case

The operator specifies:

the B-VID
the Transport Link

For a Transport Link to be dissociated from a B-VID, the following must be true:

the TL must not belong to a Ring

B-VID and TL must be associated

If all checks are ok the B-VID is dissociated to the specified Transport Link.
Allocated case

This is almost the same case of transport link dissociation (defined case), in addition,
before the B-VID - TL association is removed, its de-allocation is performed:

de-allocation on DB of the I-SID Distribution information, for each allocated EVC

supported by the B-VID in all the NEs that will no longer belong to the B-VID once
the TL is removed
de-allocation on DB of the VLAN Distribution information (for each NE involved,
the involved Port is dissociated from the B-VID).

In no case a TL can be dissociated from a B-VID if this action leaves an EVC of the
B-VID with an EVC Termination on a NE that is no more used by the B-VID.
In other words: if an EVC Termination ,of an EVC belonging to the involved B-VID, is
on one of the NEs at the extremity of the TL, and, on that NE, there are no other
Transport Links or rings associated to the involved B-VID, the latter can't be dissociated
from the Transport Link.

Implemented case

This is almost the same case of transport link dissociation (allocated case), in addition,
before the B-VID - TL association is de-allocated, part of the de-implementation of the
B-VID and of all the implemented or partially implemented EVCs that the former
supports is performed:

for each EVC supported by the B-VID:

for each implemented or partially implemented EVC Termination residing on a
NE at the extremities of the TL: un-provisioning of the association Port - B-VID I-SID, that means modification of a row in opticsIMPbbInstanceTable
if the EVC is implemented or partially implemented, removal of all the I-SID
instances in all the NEs that will no longer belong to the B-VID once the TL is
removed (that means deletion of a row in opticsIMPbbInstanceTable). This also
covers the case of EVC under OAM.
for each NE at the extremities of the TL in which there are no other NNIs associated
to the B-VID instance: deletion of the B-VID instance and of the associations B-VID Port
for each NE at the extremities of the TL in which there's at least another NNI
associated to the B-VID instance: modification of the member set of the B-VID
instance to remove the port of the TL for that NE.

This case applies both implemented and partially implemented B-VIDs.

When to use

The function creates ERP Rings.

Related Information

Ring Types:

A major ring is a ring that is self-containing, i.e. it has no need to use tunneling of
R-APS through other rings.
A sub-ring is a ring that is closed by a tunnel connectivity provided by other rings
(either major rings or sub-ring).

A Ring can be created from:

Links list

Topological view
Common Map

A ring can be done by transport link of one only domain.

It is possible that the links assigned to a ring are not implementing a closed ring: in this
case a warning should be raised to operator.
For PKT 9.3 only PBB domains are foreseen.
More then one major ring per domain is allowed.
A physical ring can be created also if the transport link is already used by traffic.
A physical ring can be deleted only when it is not-implemented. No check is done respect
to the usage of the links for traffic.

Related Information

Operator can add a new ring to a bundle, given that:

Ring is on the same set of NEs of already grouped ring(s)

Ring is of the same type (major/sub) of already grouped rings (this condition is
automatically verified if the previous condition is true, but can be useful to filter the
list of rings to be proposed to operator)
VLANs registered on the ring cannot be assigned to ring already grouped in the
bundle.

Removal of a ring from a bundle is always possible: operator has to take care of avoiding
registering VLAN on the ring after the removal: PKT cannot perform consistency checks
to avoid traffic loop.
PKT automatically add a ring to an existing bundle created on the same set of NEs.
PKT automatically remove a ring from an existing bundle when ring is deleted. This is
true independently from the way the ring has been assigned to the bundle (i.e. either
manually or automatically).

Related Information

Definition is always possible. Checks to be done:

ERP instance user label has to be unique in the system

R-APS VLAN Id must be inside the bundle of VLAN assigned to ERP for the domain
ERP instance is defined
R-APS VLAN id must not be used for in-fiber/in-band management channel: this
check could be implicitly passed if management VLAN is not part of bundle of
VLAN reserved for ERP.
R-APS VLAN Id cannot have already been assigned to other ERP instances on the
same ERP physical ring or by ERP instance on sub-rings that uses the current ring to
close the virtual channel for R-APS
Just one per-port ERP can be defined on a given physical ring
If ring Id is different from default it must be unique inside the ERP instances of a
given physical ring.

Deletion of ERP instance is possible only after de-implementation.

Workflow for PBB Management

Overview about Workflow
Workflow description

The workflow to manage PBB is part of the more general workflow for the Ethernet
Service management.
Transport Link Overwiew

1350OMS does support the provisioning of the infrastructure in term of TDM Links,
WDM and Ethernet cables and (T-)MPLS links.
The infrastructure is used for different supported layer (T-)MPLS or Ethernet.
The infrastructure is named Transport Link.
The Transport Link can be supported by:

A TDM path. The link is called Link Over TDM. It carries directly Ethernet
Segments, Tunnels or PWs.
A Tunnel/PW. The link is called Link Over (T-)MPLS. A Link Over TDM or a Link
Over Cable (Martini) carries it.
An Ethernet cable or a Martini cable. The link is called Link Over Cable.
A WDM link. The link is called Link Over WDM.

Domain overview

In Connection Less Networks, the Domain represents an homogeneous set of Network

Elements dedicated to MAC, Virtual, Provider or Provider Backbone Bridging.
A Domain infrastructure is made of NE, ENE, Transport Links and Edge Ports managed
together to supply a Connection Less infrastructure.
The user is requested to assign the NE to a specific domain. The NE related resources are
automatically uploaded and associated to it.
The user is requested to assign the Transport Link to a specific domain. The NE related
resources are automatically uploaded and associated to it.
Domain main properties are:

the Domain Type:

Result: The configuration of the Network Element is now complete.

In order to reach the nodes from the NMS it is now required to configure the ip
network in the middle (between node and NMS) according to the DCN topology and
the addresses plan.
For a simple test, if the NMS is in the same sub network of the Q LAN interface of a
gateway NE (e.g. a TSS160C), is possible to configure a static route on the NE (as
explained before) and a static route on the NMS and verify if the node inside the ring
are reachable from the NMS (ping).

Overview about Broadcast TV

Broadcast TV description

The user defines an EPLAN or an EVPLAN service. The choice depends on whether the
SDH partially terminated path is shared or not with other services. The user is suggested
to use the comment field to state that the service is a BTV service.
The 1350 OMS PKT user defines an EVC belonging to an EPLAN or an EVPLAN
service with the following characteristics:

Multipoint to multipoint.
Unicast.

The EVC termination is chosen among the Ethernet Physical ports available on real
NEs ending the SDH broadcast path.

The 1350 OMS PKT user defines a set of Ethernet Segments having common TD, TC,
and Color Profile (if needed).
The user is requested to define one Ethernet Segment for each Link Over TDM taking
care about the assigned directionality:

For SDH broadcast path sources: each Ethernet Segment must start from a real NE
and must end on the ENE playing the BTV role.
For SDH broadcast path sinks: each Ethernet Segment must start from the ENE
playing the BTV role and must end on a real NE.

Then, all built Ethernet Segments can be Allocated and Implemented, allowing the
Broadcast traffic flowing.
Note: Operations are in users hands. No specific congruence checks are performed by
1350 OMS PKT for EPLINE or EVPLINE services emulating BTV services.

IGMP Snooping State Management

IGMP Snooping reminder

This function is evolved to provide a reminder helping the management of services to

enable the IGMP Snooping Protocol.
This reminder is important to reach two main goals:

To remind the user to perform Navigation toward NEs only after having implemented
the EVC supporting the IGMP Snooping.
To remind the user to perform Navigation toward NEs before De-Implementing an
EVC supporting the IGMP Snooping. This action also prevents errors during the
de-implementation phase.

EVC Definition

At EVC definition level, the user can optionally define the value of igmpSnooping
attribute. This operation is available only for EVPLAN, Extended EVPLAN, and BTV
EVC types.
In these cases, the possible values are:

Enabled. Just to remind that the user has the intention to use the IGMP snooping

protocol on top of such EVC.

Possible scenarios:

To enable the IGMP snooping immediately after having implemented the EVC.
To disable the IGMP snooping immediately before de-implemented the EVC.

Disabled. Just to remind that the user does not want to use the IGMP on that EVC.

EVC Implementation

When the user starts the EVC Implementation operation, and the attribute igmpEnabled is
set to Enabled, a pop-up window is raised to remind the user to perform a navigation
toward affected NE.
This operation is available only for Extended EVPLAN and BTV EVCs.
The pop-up window must be acknowledged by the user without further affect the
implementation procedure.
EVC De-Implementation

When the user starts the EVC De-Implementation operation and the attribute
igmpEnabled is set to Enabled, a pop-up window is raised to remind the user to perform a
navigation toward affected NE.
This operation is available only for Extended EVPLAN and BTV EVC types.

The pop-up window can be:

Acknowledged by the user with the option STOP the de-implementation procedure,
letting the user complete all the needed navigation.
Acknowledged by the user with the option CONTINUE the de-implementation
procedure, when the user is aware that all Navigation Issues are already
accomplished.

EVC Modification

The Attribute igmpEnabled can be modified in the following cases:

The EVC ServiceType is EVPLAN, extended EVPLAN or BTV.

The EVC provisioningState can have any value.

The following situations must be managed:
If the EVC is Implemented, the transition from Disable to Enable triggers the
pop-up window.
If the EVC is Implemented, the transition from Enable to Disable triggers the
second pop-up window.
In all other cases, the modification of the igmpEnabled attribute is not allowed
and an explicit exception is returned.

1350 OMS PKT provides the following services to manage elementary alarms (see
Management Layers (p. 11-5) and Network architecture overview (p. 11-7)):

Current alarm management (with the history).

Fault Localization.

For every alarm raised, a specific clear is sent.

In case of packet concatenation, only Packet GFP interface can generate alarms on TDM
termination.
Alarm probable cause

In the following, is given information about the probable cause of the alarm to understand
their meaning and origin:

LOS (Loss of Signal) alarm covers the defects that occur in the following cases:
Loss of electrical or optical power,.
Failed Auto-negotiation process (LOS defect),.
No synchronization (LOS defect),.

No comma detection (LOF defect),.

Card failure or card missing (ISA ES16),.
URU alarm in case of incorrect manual provisioning of Ethernet accesses (ISA
ES16).
ISA NE raises a TSF (Trail Signal Failed) or DEG (trail signal Degraded) alarm after
detecting a defect due to failed SDH VCs (TSF or TSD).
ISA NE raises a PLM (Pay Load Mismatch) alarm after detecting an SDH VC
problem (related to packet or virtual concatenation).
ISA NE raises a GTM (GFP Type Mismatch) alarm after detecting a GFP format
mismatch.
ISA NE raises a LOF (Loss of Frame) alarm after detecting an Ethernet defect.
ISA NE raises a CSF (Client Signal Failure) alarm when a failure is detected on one
Customer Edge.

Client Signal Fail Alarm Management
When to use

This procedure explains how to manage Client Signal Fail.

Related Information

Following conditions must be verified when the CSF alarm feature is activated:

Service is EPLINE, built upon a single SDH path with transparent GFP or EPLAN
emulating BTV services.
ISA NE at extremities supports CSF alarms and consequent actions (ES1/4 1.2, ES16
2.1).
Autonegotiation must be enabled on local ports (Reminder: Autonegotiation is not
supported on GE interfaces. In consequence, CSF cannot be enabled if GE is
involved).
Note: No check is done by the 1350 OMS PKT from this point of view because
everything is managed by the user during Navigation.

Before you begin

The system is running.

The system is properly configured.
The system is connected by MS-GUI.
The MS-GUI is set to map mode.
Task

The global scenario is in the following provided:

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Select an Ethernet Service.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Retrieve Edge Ports terminating the Ethernet Service.

Result: For each retrieved Edge Port, a Navigation toward 1350 OMS EML is started

to configure the CSF consequent Action (laser shut down enabled).

Result: TDM terminations are retrieved.

For each retrieved TDM termination, a Navigation toward 1350 OMS EML is started
to configure the CSF Capability Support (CSF bidirectional propagation).
In case of BTV service emulation, the TDM termination interested to VC-AIS
propagation are connected to Broadcast SDH path acting as Sources.
After this scenario, GFP-CSF frame insertion (or VC-AIS propagation) and
consequent actions are automatically configured on the PEs accordingly.

The AAR procedure

Maintain the consistency of the image of the network

The aim of these tools is to check and maintain the consistency between the network and
the 1350 OMS PKT database.
The utilities supplied are Audit, Alignment, and Force Alignment, and Reserve and
Recovery.

Audit (p. 23-3) is in charge of detecting the differences between the network and
the databases.
Alignment (p. 23-4) and Force Alignment (p. 23-4) are in charge to fix
discrepancies between the network and the databases.
Reservation (p. 23-4) and Recovery (p. 23-5) are in charge to re build in the
database, objects created without 1350 OMS PKT or before 1350 OMS PKT
installation.

The utilities apply on all the network, one or a set of subnetworks, one or a set of NE.
The tools works into a session. The session begins with the Start command and ends with
the Stop command.
Start procedure: The user has the possibility to start an audit, an alignment, or a

reservation on one or more NEs.

At the beginning of an audit, the selected NEs are locked. Locked entities are not
modifiable. All the read-only operations are available.
Stop procedure: At any time of the audit, alignment, reserve session, the user can close

the session. An unlock of the locked NEs is done.

Audit

The Audit identify the differences between the NE MIB in the network and the database
of the PKT. The Audit reports differences in a text file.
The Audit performs comparison on a per-functional domain basis. For each domain
comparison is done on a per-elementary object basis.
The Audit applies on a NE or list of NEs. Only SNMP board can be Audited.
The Audit builds a file that contains all managed entities presenting differences between
the network and the database. Differences are detected by NE. The audit file contains:

The objects that exist in the database but not in the NE.

The objects that exist in NE but not in database.

The objects present both in the database and in the NE but having different setting.

The result of the audit procedure is stored in a text file available to the user. The user is in
charge to display the results and proceed with the operations of align, force align, reserve,
or recovery.
For details on Audit tool, refer to NE Audit tool (p. 23-6).

The AAR procedure

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Alignment

The user can activate the Alignment on the audited NEs.

The Alignment procedure does not affect the traffic existing on the network.
The alignment procedure downloads to the network the entities contained in 1350 OMS
PKT database and not contained in the NE.
Force Alignment

The user can activate the Force Alignment on the audited NEs.
The Force Alignment procedure affect the traffic existing on the network.
The Force Alignment:

Adds to NE the entities contained in 1350 OMS PKT database and not contained in
the NE.
Deletes the objects in the NE not contained in 1350 OMS PKT.
Updates in the NE the objects presenting discrepancies in respect to the 1350 OMS
PKT setting.

The Force Alignment aligns the characteristics of Transport Link, Traffic Descriptors,
Traffic Classifiers, cross connections, LERconnections, and LSR connections. The
specific data, like indexes, related to the NE and stored only in the 1350 OMS PKT
database are update in the database.
Reservation

The user can activate the Reservation on the audited NEs.

Objects created without 1350 OMS PKT are not in the database, however they exist in the
network and have resources associated.
Reservation prevents the user from using network resources that are in-use but not
already known by the 1350 OMS PKT.
The network resources (terminations, MPLS labels, Transport Link bandwidth) are
reserved. This reservation is visible by the operator by the fact that one or more
terminations are no more available for creating new paths (Ethernet Segments, LSPs), and
by a portion of reserved bandwidth consumed on the Transport Links. The associated
objects are created inside the database (Traffic descriptors (MPLS and Ethernet), Traffic
Classifier, Colour Profiles, Ethernet cross connections, LSR connections, and LER
connections). A part from the connections, those objects are visible and usable by the
operator after the reservation phase.
The Reserve provides the discovery of an existing Ethernet network:

NE and Ethernet physical ports.

Link Over TDM (supporting directly Ethernet or MPLS) and TDM termination
points.

The NEs are retrieved defining the EML to which 1350 OMS PKT is connected and by
1350 OMS SDH (for E/FE/GE Q3 boards).

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

This information is stored in 1350 OMS PKT database. This information is available for
MPLS infrastructure or directly for Ethernet Service usage (Link Over TDM for Ethernet
Segments and Ethernet physical ports). MPLS infrastructure is Link Over TDM devoted
to MPLS. Ethernet Service usage involves Link Over TDM, Ethernet Segments, and
Ethernet physical ports.
Note: The Ethernet physical port can be used also to build the cable (or Martini cable
or Ethernet cable).
For details on Reservation tool, refer to Reservation tool (p. 23-13).
Recovery

The user ask the Recovery on the reserved NE.

The connectivity entities (like Ethernet Segments or MPLS LSP Tunnel) are built and
then the discovered connectivity entities are stored in 1350 OMS PKT database.
The LSP tunnel and VC-LSP are defined and allocated. The Ethernet Segments and EVCs
are defined and allocated.
The abstract objects are recovered inside the database. The paths are automatically
created. Final provisioning state of LSPs and Ethernet Segment is commissioned. A
minimum EVC, Ethernet services and Customers are created for holding the recovered
Ethernet Segments.
The user can be asked to help the system to recover managed connectivity when complex
objects are not automatically recoverable by the system.

NE Audit tool
Overview

The NE MIB Audit function available from 1350 OMS PKT can basically detect and then
report two categories of misalignments:

Delta+ misalignments.
Delta+ misalignments refer to resources existing in 1350 OMS PKT DB but not in
the NE MIB.
The case occurs when 1350 OMS PKT implements Ethernet Services on a given ISA
Board and then the Board itself must be replaced. The case occurs also when a MIB
restore is launched to recover a previously stored MIB Backup. Alternatively, the case
occurs when 1320CT and 1350 OMS EML users remove services or resources
previously provisioned by 1350 OMS PKT.

Delta- misalignments.
Delta- misalignments refer to resources existing in the NE MIB but not in 1350
OMS PKT DB.
The case occurs when 1350 OMS PKT de-implements Ethernet Services on a given
ISA Board and then the Board itself is replaced. The case occurs also when a MIB
restore is launched to recover a previously stored MIB Backup. Alternatively, the case
occurs the case when 1320CT and 1350 OMS EML users create new services or
resources (bypassing security controls).

Delta misalignments.
Delta misalignments refer to resources existing in both NE MIB and 1350 OMS
PKT DB, but with different attribute values.
The case occurs when 1320CT and 1350 OMS EML modify directly services or
resources in the NE MIB bypassing security mechanism.

Recovery of the misalignments

If a misalignment exists between the 1350 OMS PKT and NEs, the audit feature provides
the user with a means to detect. This situation happens in different cases:

At installation time of the 1350 OMS PKT upon an existing network.

After a long period during which the 1350 OMS PKT has been disconnected from the
network.
After the local access control (LAC) has been granted on a NE.
If the network has been configured without using the 1350 OMS PKT, operating the
1350 OMS EML or the Craft Terminal directly.

The Audit operation consists in comparing the content of the NE MIB with the content of
the 1350 OMS PKT database.
The user selects one or more NEs and requests the audit.

On the basis of the NE data uploaded from the NE MIB and the NE data stored in the
database, the 1350 OMS PKT performs a comparison. The differences are classified as
follow:
1. Data existing in the NE and missing in 1350 OMS PKT.
2. Data missing in the NE and existing in 1350 OMS PKT.
3. Different data using the same resources in NE and 1350 OMS PKT.
The result of the audit procedure is stored in a text file that is made available to the user.
On the basis of the information provided in the text file, the user can proceed with one of
the following operations:

Display the audit result.

Reservation-Recovery to resume the situation described in 1.

Alignment to resume the situation described in 2.

Forced alignment to resume the situation described 3. Alternatively the situation can
be resumed as follow: the user can directly manage the conflict operating the 1350
OMS EML or the Craft Terminal.

When an audit is started on a NE, this NE is locked to avoid any modification of its MIB
during the procedure life time. On a locked NE:

It is impossible for any user to delete this NE.

Another audit session cannot work with this NE. One NE can be locked only by one
audit.
From outside the audit, alignment, reserve procedure is impossible to download or
upload information into or from the NE MIB.
from any session is possible to do any other operation (for example: display
properties, allocate Ethernet Segment, create traffic profile ).

The locked NE information is stored in database. At the end of the procedure, the NEs
locked in this procedure are unlocked.
The audit result is stored in a text file in XML format.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Reservation tool
Overview

The reservation operation prevent the use of resources and allow the Recovery tool to
insert in the 1350 OMS PKT database the resources discovered in the NE MIB and not
present in the 1350 OMS PKT database:

Traffic Descriptors.
Traffic Classifiers.

Color Profiles.
Ethernet connections.
MPLS connections.

Reservation for Ethernet domain

Reservation operation is in charge of reserving Traffic Descriptors, Color Profiles, Traffic

Classifiers, and Ethernet cross connections. Entities present in the NE MIB but not known
by 1350 OMS PKT, are imported into the 1350 OMS PKT with the special status of
reserved.
The status of reserved is used in the Recovery phase to rebuild Ethernet flows and
services.
All the entities marked as reserved are not visible to the user, except for Traffic
Descriptors, Color Profiles, and Traffic Classifiers. They are immediately available to the
user that can use them.
The recovered entities, even if they are associated to flow on the NE (that is not
provisioned by the 1350 OMS PKT), are not considered in use.
For example, they can be deleted from the 1350 OMS PKT without affecting the NE.
For Traffic Descriptors, Color Profiles, and Traffic Classifiers no duplicates are created. If
a Traffic Descriptor recovered has the same of a Traffic Descriptor that exists into the
1350 OMS PKT, the latter entity is reused. The former one is associated to it. Traffic
Descriptor attributes are CoS, CIR, PIR, CBS, PBS.
Reservation for MPLS domain

Reservation operation is in charge of reserving MPLS Traffic Descriptors, LSP Tunnels

connections, and VC-LSP connections.
The NE MIB resources which have not been uploaded, are stored in the 1350 OMS PKT
database. The 1350 OMS PKT resources are affected with the consumption of these
resources.
The user can recover and use the Traffic Descriptor used or not used by connections. The
deletion of the Traffic Descriptor removes it from the 1350 OMS PKT database but leave
it in the NE. A default user label is generated by the MPLS recovery component.

In the LSP Tunnel connections, the used MPLS labels are marked reserved for the
Transport Link in the 1350 OMS PKT database.
If two connections at the extremities of the path share the same MPLS label, the MPLS
label consumed only once.
The consuming bandwidth is affected on the corresponding Transport Links. For an LSR,
the Transport Links affected are two. For a LER, the Transport Link affected is one.
If two connections at the extremities of the path concern the same Transport Link
bandwidth is consumed only once.
In the VC-LSP connections, the used MPLS labels are marked reserved for the
Transport Link in the 1350 OMS PKT database.
If two connections at the extremities of the same LSP tunnel share the same MPLS label,
the MPLS label is consumed only once.
The consuming bandwidth is affected on the corresponding LSP tunnel or Transport Link.
If two connections at the extremities of the same LSP tunnel share the same Transport
Link, the bandwidth is consumed only once.

Align Up of Ethernet Domain Data

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Align Up of Ethernet Domain Data

Overview

The Align Up function allows a selective (user driven) realignment between 1350 OMS
PKT and NE content.
The scope of this function is generic and can be applied in the contexts:

after a Network Manager migration to import from NE (overwriting data in the 1350
OMS PKT) the running value of the introduced Attribute.
on user demand.

In both cases, the Audit function invocation is a necessary precondition.

The function must carefully handle mismatch case. The updating inside 1350 OMS PKT
forces the recomputation of EVC, Ethernet Segment, STI provisioning state, and the
Transport Link Configuration State.
The Align Up operation does not create nor delete new entities inside the 1350 OMS PKT
Ethernet database but is only aimed to align attributes.
As example see the following case. Suppose that the Activation state of an Edge Port is
UP inside 1350 OMS PKT and the same port is DOWN inside the NE. After the Align
Up, the Edge Port results with Activation State equal to DOWN also inside 1350 OMS
PKT. This status change must be propagated also toward Ethernet connections which are
using such Edge Ports (that is Ethernet Segments and/or EVCs).
The Align Up function is only applicable on a NE after having performed an Audit on that
NE. In particular, the Align Up function can be invoked only inside an AAR context (that
is with the corresponding NE locked).
After the Audit execution, the Audit result reports to the user all the differences existing
between the NE image and the 1350 OMS PKT image. The user can then start the Align
Up operation and can decide which objects must be aligned inside 1350 OMS PKT.

For information about attributes compared in an Audit, see Results of Audit (p. 23-8).
After confirmation, NE per NE, the 1350 OMS PKT uploads the NE MIB content and
compares it with the 1350 OMS PKT database.
In each domain, if an error occurs, the audit is stopped in this domain nevertheless the
audit in the other domains goes on.
If an audit is Partially done, the actions alignment and reservation are not available. Only
a new audit is possible.
During the same session, the user can audit again the same NE; In this case, only the
latest audit result is at the user disposal. This new audit allows the user to target a new
alignment (the alignment is allowed only once after an audit).
The audit results are temporally stored into audit files. They are automatically deleted
when the user stops the audit, alignment, reserve procedure.
One file per audited NE is stored. The file contains the compared domains.
When the audit is completed on all selected NEs, a message is displayed in the status bar.
The main steps of the audit are listed into the 1350 OMS PKT Log file. If errors or
warning occur, they are listed in this file too and in an error message window.

OAM Introduction

The ETH OAM allows the user to manage:

Maintenance Domains: Creation/modification/deletion.

Maintenance Associations: Modification Creation/deletion are done automatically
when ETH OAM is enabled on EVC, links, ports.
Loopback.
Linktrace.

List/inventories of related objects.

OAM Continuity Check

The Ethernet OAM Continuity Check (OAM CC) allows determining the reachability
between groups of associated Ethernet Resources.
The Ethernet OAM CC is a tool for pro-active maintenance; in fact as soon as the OAM
CC tool is set up over Ethernet resources, such Ethernet Resources start exchanging
autonomously OAM Continuity Check Messages (OAM CC PDU) and specific Alarms
are sent by NEs whenever the reach ability between that Ethernet Resources is
interrupted.
Ethernet OAM Continuity Check is the base for other OAM activities:

Link Trace Management

Loop Back Management

Ethernet MEF Performance management (Jitter and Delay evaluation).

The Set up of Ethernet OAM Continuity Check tool can be done on top of the following
Technologies:

Provider Bridge Domains

ETS domain for EPTL services.
T-MPLS Domains.

a combination of the above (E2E)

OAM Continuity Check terminology

The Ethernet OAM CC is realized according to ITU Y.1731 and IEEE 802.1ag Standards.

MD can be mapped as STP domain, or ETS domain (PortToPort and EPTL), or T-MPLS
domain.
For a given Domain it is possible to display all MDs existing in that domain.
From a given MD it is possible to retrieve all the contained MA (Connectivity) and
related configured MEPs (Connectivity extremities).
Maintenance Association (MA) or Maintenance Entity Group (MEG)

MA realizes the association between Maintenance Entities (Maintenance Points) and

Maintenance Domain.
MA determines also the relationship existing among Maintenance Points
The life cycle of MA (Creation/Deletion) is always linked to corresponding Connectivity
object (EVC, Transport Link or Edge Port).
MA Parameters are visible always contextually to the corresponding Connectivity object.
MA Modification/Configuration is always possible from the corresponding Connectivity
object.
MA is defined by the following main attributes:

MA name: made by a Format and a Name.

Monitored object.
Monitored object can be one of the following:
(only for Virtual Bridge, Provider Bridge and ETS) VLAN: it can be the CVLAN
in case of Virtual Bridge or the SVLAN in case of Provider Bridge

(only for T-MPLS) Pseudo-Wire or VSI

MHF policy: which automatic policy is defined inside the MA for MIP Creation
(default=inherited from MD)
CCM Interval: delay between sending of CC PDU
MEP List Table : list of Maintenance Points making part to the association and their
Activation status
Row Status: Activation status for the MA entry

Maintenance Edge Point (MEP)

MEP is a Maintenance Point located at the Edge of the Monitored Network.

MEP can initiate and terminate OAMPDU frames.
OAM activities can be started from MEP
MEPs are explicitly created on Operator DemandEach MEP is always linked with PORT
or, depending on involved technology, VLANID, PWID.
The life cycle of MEP (Creation/Deletion) is always linked to corresponding Connectivity
object extremity (or to the Connectivity object itself in the special case of the Edge Port).
MEP Parameters are visible always contextually to corresponding Connectivity object
extremity.

MEP Modification/Configuration is always possible from corresponding Connectivity

object extremity.
Each MEP is defined by the following main attributes:

Identifier: unique in the MA, in the range 1-8191.

Interface Reference: Port identifier (the MAC address of the Port is inherited).
Direction : (UP, Down).

Priority: priority (0-7) to be used in CCM PDU messages.

Enable/Disable Flag : aimed to dynamically start/stop OAM CC.
Row Status: Activation status for the MEP entry.

Other attributes not connected to CC management are not included here and always
set to their default value.

Intermediate Maintenance Entity Point (MIP)

MIP is an Intermediate Maintenance Entity Point.

MIP can only react to OAMPDU frames (answering and/or forwarding).
OAM activities cannot be started from MIP.
Each MIP has a Direction concept (UP, Down).
MIPs are automatically created depending on criteria defined on MD/MA objects.

Packet Delay measurement

Description

The tool counts the delivery time of packets.

For the measurement, the tool uses a specific packet.
Since delay depends on packet length, the user can set a packet length value or choose a
randomly generated value.
For measure accuracy, the Continuity Check (CC) periods must be less than 1 ms before
starting the Packet Delay tool.
The Packet Delay measurement applies on:

EVC
T-MPLS Tunnel

The Packet Delay measurement collect data on:

Forward, Backward, Round-trip time

Absolute and delay variation time

The tool uses Performance Monitoring counters.

The tool results are reported by CPM.
To use DM tool, execute the following main steps:

Activate the tool

Configure the board
Start PM on dedicated counters
Retrieve results by CPM

Supported network scenarios

Circuit emulation services are typically deployed in the scope of mobile back-hauling
network scenarios.
Figure 25-1 Mobile back-hauling scenario

The packet radio domain covers the access network, while the aggregation network can
be:

an SDH/SONET network inter-working at TDM level

another packet domain (e.g. T-MPLS, ETS) inter-working at Ethernet level

Network layering

The circuit emulation layer is a service layer that uses the Ethernet layer as underlying
transport layer in the access network, where the physical transport is based on
microwaves.

Figure 25-2 Network layers in case of unterminated CE service

PKT manages both E1 terminated services covering the first scenario and also
unterminated services covering the latter.
When the access network does not need radio links, the T-MPLS domain may cover both
the access and the aggregation networks.
CES infrastructure

Circuit Emulation Services can be transported over Packet Radio technology or, over
T-MPLS technology. To prepare the transport infrastructure, the user has to assign the
transport resources (links or ports) to the relevant transport domain (Packet Radio or
T-MPLS). Then, the system automatically configures the resources for Circuit Emulation
Service support.
The resources available as infrastructure at the CES layer, are shown as follows:

the Packet Radio or T-MPLS domain is mirrored into CES domain

the Link over Radio/Link over Cable or Link over T-MPLS is mirrored into CES
transport link
the PDH or Ethernet Port is mirrored into CES port

CSG IDL (for port synchronization, transmission alarms and service provisioning)

TDM traffic encapsulation

The packetized TDM traffic is encapsulated according to one of the following standards:

MEF 8
IETF SAToP

MEF 8 vs. SAToP encapsulation

Comparing MEF8 and SATOP encapsulation types, it is clear that - from the switching
point of view - the ECID label plays the role of the PW label, while the SVLAN plays the
role of the LSP tunnel label.
The transport of end-to-end TDM service in the Packet Radio network is based on MEF 8
encapsulation.
In case of MEF8 encapsulation, the ECID identifies the emulated circuit being carried.
This separates the identification of the emulated circuit from the Ethernet layer. ECID
have local significance only, and are associated with a specific MAC address.
In case of MEF8 over Packet Radio, the mapping between ECID and VLAN is 1:1.In
case of MEF8 over 802.1ad, the packet can have single or double VLAN tag
In case of MEF8 over T-MPLS, the packet can be untagged or single-tagged.

TDM client synchronization

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

TDM client synchronization

Synchronization between CES terminations

Synchronization between CES terminations is needed at the termination where the TDM
signal is reconstructed from the packets, using the following alternative options:

clock recovered from the TDM network interface (TDM line timing)
external reference clock source (External timing)
recovering the clock from the packet network interface (Packet line timing). Timing
recovery from Packet line relies on Synchronous Ethernet boards

Timing information is extracted from:

the TDM network interface

we have synchronous timing, where TDM clients must be traceable to the same
synchronization source. In synchronous timing, synchronization network clock is
available at TDM client (TDM end systems), not from the packet transport network
(PTN). No TDM frequency transparency is required over the PTN

the packet network interface

we have:

differential timing, where the clock is recovered from a combination of data

contained in the frames, and knowledge of a reference clock common to both CES
edge nodes. In differential timing method, synchronization clock is available at
node edges of PTN (CES edge nodes) and requires TDM frequency transparency
through the PTN
adaptive timing, where the clock is recovered from data in the frames, and the
arrival time of the frames. The adaptive timing is required when no common clock
is available for CES edge nodes or TDM clients. This method relies on the
measuring the mean rate of packet arrivals to establish the rate of TDM interface
at egress and does not require network synchronization or timing protocols (i.e.
RTP), but requires TDM frequency transparency through the PTN

Protection setup after link creation

Workaround to setup the protection after link creation

Because of the change in the port naming rule, the user is recommended to avoid setting
up protections before the radio links are taken in charge by NMS. If it is required to setup
the protection after link creation in the NMS, the following user procedure must be used
as workaround:

Manually deassign the radio link from CE domain (automatic unlock sent to NPR)
Manually remove the radio link from NPR (object deletion sent by NPR to PKT) -> if
needed, PKT automatically deletes the radio link
Manually resynchronize ports from NPR: unprotected port is deleted and protecting
port is created
Manually resynchronize ports from PKT: unprotected port is deleted and protecting
port is created
Manually create radio link in NPR (object creation sent by NPR to PKT): PKT
automatically creates the protecting radio link (since it is a protecting one, assignment
to CE domain is forbidden)

Protection schemes

There are two protection schemes:

1+1 HSB (hot standby)

1+1 FD (frequency diversity)

CAC tolerance and modulation mode

Relation between CAC tolerance and modulation mode

The modification of the CAC tolerance implies to update the homonymous attribute on all
domain nodes. The modification of the CAC tolerance impacts the way CAC checks are
performed on radio ports, in accordance with the modulation mode, as summarized by the
following picture.
Figure 25-5 CES Relation between CAC tolerance and modulation mode

The loose CAC tolerance is meaningful only in case of adaptive radio modulation mode.
In such case, CAC for TDM2TDM and TDM2ETH traffic is performed with respect to
the peak bandwidth.
In case of loose CAC tolerance, if the effective bandwidth is reduced to the minimum
capacity, all TDM2TDM and TDM2ETH traffic is disconnected and only ETH2ETH
traffic is preserved.
In case of adaptive modulation mode and strict CAC tolerance, CAC for TDM2TDM
and TDM2ETH traffic is performed with respect to the 4QAM bandwidth, while the peak
bandwidth is exploited only by ETH2ETH services.
In all cases, ifSpeed reports the correct capacity value for CAC.

Resource assignment to Packet Radio domain

Port assignment to Packet Radio domain

The user selects one MPR PDH or Ethernet port and assigns it to Packet Radio domain.
The assigned port is automatically inserted in the scope of the Packet Radio domain as
edge port. In case of Ethernet physical port, it is automatically activated by the system.
The following table summarizes the port technologies that can be assigned at the edge of
a Packet Radio domain.
Port technology

Port deassignment from Packet Radio domain

The user selects one MPR PDH or Ethernet port and deassigns it from Packet Radio
domain. The deassigned port is automatically removed from the scope of the Packet
Radio domain as edge port. PKT checks that there are no supported services using that
port, i.e. that the used bandwidth is zero for this port. The used bandwidth is set by the
manager that is responsible for service provisioning on this port.
Transport Link assignment to Packet Radio domain

The user selects one link over radio or link over cable and assigns it to Packet Radio
domain. The assigned link is automatically inserted in the scope of the Packet Radio
domain as transport link. One protecting radio link (as recognized by means of the
naming rule) cannot be assigned to the Packet Radio domain.
In case of link over cable, its Ethernet terminations are automatically activated by the
system (if not already active).
When the manager allocates one service over the TL, it increments the link reserved CIR
in order to lock the link and prevent its deletion.
Transport Link deassignment from Packet Radio domain

The user selects one link over radio or link over cable and deassigns it from Packet Radio
domain. The deassigned link is automatically removed from the scope of the Packet
Radio domain as transport link. PKT checks that no services use that transport link. In
case of link over cable, its Ethernet terminations are not automatically deactivated by the
system, since it is not known if they support inband DCN.

Resource assignment to T-MPLS domain

TSS-5C PDH Port assignment to T-MPLS domain

The user selects one TSS-5C PDH port and assigns it to T-MPLS domain; then it is
inserted as CES port under the T-MPLS domain. No change with respect to common TSS
behavior is foreseen about the assignment of TSS-5C Ethernet physical ports and SDH
terminations to T-MPLS domain.
TSS-5C ETH Port assignment to T-MPLS domain

In case of Ethernet physical port, it is a port shared for Ethernet and CE services and
therefore it is inserted both as ETH edge port and CES port under the T-MPLS domain.
PKT manages the reserved bandwidth for Ethernet and CE services:

CIR allocated for EVC

CIR allocated for CES

PKT sums up the reserved CIR allocated by each manager and locks the port preventing
deassignment from T-MPLS domain. It is up to the user to ensure that the bandwidth
reserved for EVC and for CES do not exceed the interface rate.
The following table summarizes the different services that are supported at the edge of a

Link over T-MPLS reservation for CES

When one T-MPLS PW gets implemented, it is automatically inserted in the list of Links

Resource assignment to T-MPLS domain

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The link over T-MPLS is inserted in:

when the supported service is EVC: it is inserted in the Ethernet transport link list
when the supported service is CES: it is inserted in the CES transport link list and
T-MPLS PW terminations are inserted into CES port list (with interface type =
T-MPLS)

When allocating the CES over the Link over T-MPLS, PKT updates the reserved
CIR/PIR/CBS/PBS as follows:

reserved PIR = reserved CIR = CES CIR , where the sum extends to all CES
allocated over this Link
reserved PBS = reserved CBS = CES CBS , where the sum extends to all CES
allocated over this Link

When the reserved bandwidth parameters are different from zero, the T-MPLS PW can
not be deimplemented, therefore preventing CES transport link removal.
Management of T-MPLS PW control word and supported service

The following attributes are introduced in the T-MPLS PW:

Supported service: EVC (default), CES

Control word: disabled (default), enabled

The supported service can be configured by user at any time, even when the T-MPLS PW
is implemented. The supported service is meaningful only inside PKT scope:

when the supported service is EVC, the corresponding Link over T-MPLS is notified
only to Ethernet manager

when the supported service is CES, the corresponding Link over T-MPLS is notified
only to CES manager

From PKT architecture point of view, changing the supported service implies to move the
Link over T-MPLS from one managers scope to the other. Therefore, the supported
service cannot be modified if any of the Link over T-MPLS bandwidth parameters
(reserved CIR, reserved PIR, reserved CBS, reserved PBS) is different from zero.
When the supported service is EVC, the user has the option to configure also the control
word enabling/disabling, independently of the T-MPLS PWs configuration status
(allocated or implemented).
When the supported service is CES, then:

the control word is automatically enabled by PKT

the PW bandwidth parameters are pre-filled by PW creation wizard with the following
default values (the user can modify them):

CIR = PIR = 2432 Kbit/s

CBS = PBS = 2900 bytes (2*MTU as suggested value)

The above values allow to support one CE service for all possible values of payload size
(independently from the underlying layer).

All Radio TTP in case of Radio card failure

All E1 TTP, radio TTP and MAU entries in case of Core card failure (apart from radio
TTP involved only in MPT to MPT connections switched by the same RAD_ACC)

PKT correlates the URU to the impacted CE services according to the following
propagation chain:

Horizontal: URU on PDH port (PDH card failure) -> CES transport failure

Vertical: URU on Radio/ETH port (Radio card failure or SFP failure) -> Radio/Cable
link transport failure -> VLAN tunnel server transport failure -> CES server transport
failure

Elementary alarms on 9500MPR PDH ports

PKT receives via CSG the elementary alarms on PDH ports and persists them in database.
At PKT startup the PDH elementary alarms are automatically resynchronized.
The Underlying Resource Unavailable (URU) alarm represents equipment failures (e.g.
card missing) that affect services.
Alarms on PDH ports are synchronized from active problem table
PKT correlates horizontally the PDH port failure to the impacted CES

MPR supports current and historical counters on the PDH ports for monitoring both the
incoming and outgoing E1 signal. They are persisted in NE agent cache memory. The
management has to start/stop one counter for each direction. So PM counters are available
to monitor the signal in both directions at the edge of the MPR network in case of PDH
edge port.
PDH measures are currently stored by NMS in the same database as SDH measures,
different from the Ethernet database. An architectural evolution of the CPM component
for PKT is required to manage PDH PM.

MPR supports 15min/24h maintenance counters on radio ports. EMLIM elaborates

single radio link termination and the radio link protected termination.
It is also possible to monitor the Ethernet packets enqueued in the queues assigned to
pass-through Ethernet services. MPR supports only free running maintenance counters on
Ethernet queues of radio ports.
All these counters are available only in transmission. PKT is not requested to manage PM

Loopback management

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Loopback management
9500MPR Loopback management

PDH loopback is a loop and continue -> only one traffic direction is impacted. When the
PDH loopback is activated, MPR sends an event telling which is the involved port, the
direction and the type (internal, external).
Radio loopback is a simple loop -> both traffic directions are affected. When the Radio
loopback is activated on ODU300 access, MPR sends an event telling which is the
involved radio port, the direction and the type (internal, external).
In order to alert the operator that the loopback operation has affected the traffic:

In case of simple loop, MPR sends LOF on the CES termination that does not receive
the signal (loop and AIS insertion - so that AIS alarm would be raised on egress PDH
port - is not supported)

In case of loop and continue, no alarm is raised but the port state reports on JUSM the
active loopback (the loopback activation event is not managed by PKT)

Switch position synchronization of single radio protection group

The operator is allowed to select one protection group and to start manually the
synchronization operation of the switch position for the selected protection group. PKT
retrieves and updates the current active switch position, the current switch command, the
current switch criteria and re-triggers alarm correlation for the involved radio links and
supported services.

TSS-5C PDH Port assignment to T-MPLS domain

PKT manages reports the elementary alarms generated by TSS and also correlates them to
transport resources. The alarm correlation can be:

horizontal: the originating alarmed resource is an elementary object and the correlated
resource is a transport object at the same layer
vertical: the originating alarmed is resource is a transport object and the correlated
resource is a transport object at the client layer

Figure 25-7 Horizontal and vertical alarm correlation in T-MPLS domain

Vertical correlation is always enabled on T-MPLS domain:

from PW to MPLS Tunnel

from ETH CES port to CES

Horizontal correlation is always enabled on T-MPLS domain:

from PDH CES port to CES

from CES Termination to CES

The availability status of the client transport object has the value:

transport failure, in case of horizontal correlation

TSS-5C NE configure PDH degrade thresholds

The system supports the configuration of the degrade thresholds, that are used to generate
and clear the degrade alarm on PDH ports. The system checks that there are no
implemented CES on the TSS NE to be configured. The supported ranges and default
values are:

PDH degrade observation interval range: 2-10 seconds

PDH degrade observation interval default: 5 seconds
PDH degrade raise threshold range: 0-1000 errors
PDH degrade raise threshold default: 30 errors

PDH degrade clear threshold range: 0-1000 errors

PDH degrade clear threshold default: 20 errors

The raise threshold must be strictly higher than the clear threshold.
Elementary alarms on TSS-5C PDH ports

PKT receives via CSG the elementary alarms on PDH ports and persists them in database.
At PKT startup the PDH elementary alarms are automatically resynchronized.
PKT correlates horizontally the PDH port failure to the impacted CES, e.g.:

LOS on PDH port -> CES transport failure

Elementary alarms on TSS-5C Ethernet ports

PKT receives via CSG the elementary alarms on Ethernet ports and persists them in
database. At PKT startup the Ethernet elementary alarms are automatically
resynchronized.
PKT correlates vertically the ETH elementary alarms to the impacted CE services
according to the following propagation chain:

Edge port: alarm (e.g. LOS) on ETH port -> CES server transport failure
Link over cable : alarm (e.g. LOS) on ETH port -> Cable link transport failure ->
Tunnel server transport failure -> CES server transport failure

Correlation of elementary alarms to link over PDH

PKT correlates elementary PDH interface alarms to link over PDH, if any.

In particular, a link over cable or a link over PDH can be used as the domain
inter-working interface in the cases described by the following RATS.

PKT is requested to manage inter-working Ethernet cable links between Packet Radio
domain and ETS domain.
PKT is requested to manage inter-working Ethernet cable links between Packet Radio
domain and T-MPLS domain.
PKT is requested to manage inter-working Ethernet cable links between Packet Radio
domain and PB domain.
PKT is requested to manage inter-working PDH cable links between Packet Radio
domain and SDH domain. The SDH domain is managed by SDH application. The
PDH IWI cable is uploaded from NPR.

E2E PDH: Manual synchronization of PDH inter-working links

PKT manages the upload via NPR-NBI of PDH links that terminate e.g. on 9500MPR or
on TSS NEs. The upload is triggered manually by operator, as in the link over cable case.
NPR creates the PDH IWI link characterizing it with PDH technology. The NPR message
response contains, for each extremity, the node userlabel and the port userlabel. PKT
ensures that in DB both nodes that terminate the PDH link are present: one of them is e.g.
the MPR/TSS NE, while the other could be any OMSN NE or other not-managed NE.
PKT gets via NPR-NBI also the NE type and Node ID of the not-managed NE.
E2E PDH: Management of network role on PDH port

When the operator assigns one PDH port as edge port to the Packet Radio domain, the
network role has the following values:

UNI -> when there is not PDH IWI link

E-NNI -> when the PDH port is the termination of a PDH IWI link

CE manager must be aware of the PDH network role since this network role is reported in
the CES routing display.

Circuit Emulation Service security

PKT supports the capability to prevent the setup of misconnections.

Port segregation

Port segregation is supported by MPR both on Ethernet and radio ports. If more than two
ports must be segregated, one MIB entry is created for each segregated port pair.
Generic Circuit Emulation Service creation and allocation

A Circuit Emulation Service is a transport connection between remote E1 ports, where the
PDH stream is segmented and encapsulated into Ethernet packets.
The service can be terminated by PDH ports at both ends or unterminated: in the latter
case the PDH stream is not reconstructed at one service termination and the PDH traffic is
forwarded to the client equipment either encapsulated into Ethernet packets or into
channelized STM-n.
The service CIR is automatically computed by PKT:

based on interface type, service profile and clock source in case of MEF-8

based on payload size in case of SATOP, CBS is not managed in case of MEF-8.

Manual join a tunnel to a CES

The Tunnel is the object that represents the transport route within a given domain.
The CES itself is the transport object that can represent the routing across different
domains:

The different domains are the nodes of the routing graph

The Tunnel is the connectivity inside one graph node

Two different Tunnels associated to distinct domains (no e2e Tunnel is created) can be
manually joined or stitched to the CES in order to realize one e2e CES:

Join is possible if one Tunnel already supporting CES and the Tunnel being joined are
connected by one transport link

Stitch is possible if one Tunnel already supporting CES and the Tunnel being stitched
share one logical port

Because of Tunnel join or stitching, one CES can be supported by one or many Tunnels
and one Tunnel can support one or more CES.
Tunnel joined to CES: after join, the CES is supported by one tunnel in each crossed
domain and the two tunnels are connected by one transport link

After tunnel join or stich, no new e2e CES object is created, but the e2e CES preserves
the identity of the CES across a single domain:

When the CES is supported by one single Tunnel, then it is a CES fragment
When the CES is supported by many Tunnels (i.e. it joins or stitches different Tunnel
fragments), then it is an e2e CES

The Tunnel is created in PKT database when the service is created.

At service creation time, PKT creates one pair of Tunnel segments in each crossed NE.
At service creation time, PKT creates one XC in each crossed NE.
Management of CES CoS and encapsulation type

The following new attributes are introduced on CES:

CoS: G, G2, R1, R, R3, R4, BE, BK

Encapsulation type: MEF8, SATOP

Transport type: CesOverPacketRadio, CesOverT-MPLS

The Class of Service (CoS) is configurable only in case of CesOverT-MPLS.

The encapsulation type and transport type are automatically computed by PKT depending
on the underlying transport domain:

CES CoS compatibility check with T-MPLS PW PHB Profile

The CES CoS specified by operator at CES creation time must be compatible with the
PHB Profile of the supporting T-MPLS PW aka Link over T-MPLS. In fact, if a
5-classes PHB Profile was associated to the T-MPLS PW, then not all CoS are not
supported.

PKT does not check that:

the requested CES CoS is compatible with the supported CoS of the selected Link
over T-MPLS (bottom-up CES creation)
the automatically created Link over T-MPLS supports the requested CES CoS
(top-down CES creation)

If the operator chooses one CoS that is not supported by the T-MPLS PW, then the CES
traffic will be treated as belonging to the nearest lower supported CoS when forwarded in
the T-MPLS network.
Management of tunnel type

The Tunnel creation:

in case of MEF8 over Packet Radio domain, PKT creates Packet-Radio Tunnel
in case of SATOP over T-MPLS domain, PKT creates T-MPLS Tunnel
in case of MEF8 over 802.1ad or T-MPLS domain (where it corresponds to one p2p
EVC), PKT creates Ethernet Tunnel

in case of PDH over SDH domain (where it corresponds to one SDH Path), PKT
creates SDH Tunnel

Therefore the Tunnel is characterized by a type that is automatically computed by PKT

according to the underlying transport technology: Packet-Radio, T-MPLS, ETH, SDH.
Routing display of CES

The operator can open the graphical routing display of one CES.
PKT shows the CES routing display in two layers:

CES (i.e. PW) layer: it shows the crossed Tunnel

Tunnel layer: it shows all crossed link over radio or link over cable or link over
T-MPLS

MEF8 CES terminated service

Basic creation and allocation over Packet Radio

PKT is requested to support the following service profiles (corresponding to a particular

radio compression):

TDM2TDM
TDM2ETH

TDM services are switched on local MAC address basis (each PDH board is assigned an
internal MAC address). The default service profile that is proposed to the operator is:

TDM2TDM for terminated services

TDM2ETH for unterminated services

In case of underlying radio infrastructure, the operator can select any service profile. In
case of underlying Ethernet physical infrastructure (link over cable or edge port), only the
TDM2ETH service profile is admitted.
The TDM2TDM service is characterized by one specific VLAN on network basis. MPR
supports TDM2TDM services with proprietary encapsulation, i.e. not MEF-8. For this
reason a TDM2TDM service profile must be terminated at the edge of the MPR network.
Therefore, in case of unterminated CES, the TDM2ETH service profile must be used and
the MAC DA of the Ethernet frame outgoing from one GE interface must manually
configured by operator.
Details

The main service characteristic is the VLAN ID (in the range 2..4080): it is selected by
operator or it can be automatically selected by the system. VLAN ID must be unique per
service in all MPR network, otherwise loss of E1 signal could occur.
In case of TDM2TDM service profile, the PW label (aka ECID) is automatically
computed by MPR and is 1:1 with the service VLAN. In case of TDM2ETH service
profile, the ECID can be selected by operator for each service direction.
The following CES attributes can always be modified upon operator request:

userlabel
service group
comment1/comment2/comment3

text1/text2/text3
signal mode to framed/unframed

The following CES attributes can be modified only when the CES is defined:

CES Overview

MEF8 CES terminated service

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

All MEF8 CES terminations of all PDH ports belonging to the same card must be
configured with the same TDM clock source type.
The service creation fails if another service already exists that terminates on the same E1
card and has a different type. Two ports belong to the same card if their slot number x is
the same; the card slot number is represented in the ports ifIndex: 60 x nn.
The NE MAC address is used as source address in case of TDM2ETH service profile and
is configured by the management system as destination address of the remote NE. In case
of TDM2TDM NE MAC address is never used.
MPR does not support one MAC address per Ethernet interface.
The TDM clock source has to be configured in the NE at XC creation time.
The ECID Tx identifies uniquely the PDH destination port in the scope of the card. In
fact, the core unit switches packets based on VLAN, while the PDH card switches packets
based on ECID Tx.
Each CES has an associated Packet-Radio tunnel, representing the Ethernet infrastructure
for circuit emulation.
In case of MPR NE, the association between CES and Tunnel is 1:1.
PKT is requested to apply admission control checks at allocation time. The bandwidth
reserved on a given port depends on port technology and also on service characteristics.
A new MIB object has been introduced representing the allocated bandwidth for one E1
service over one radio interface: cesCfgBandwidth on opticsIMCESoEthMIB. This MIB
object is used to provide the E1 bandwidth occupation vs the radio interface.
In general, however, the bandwidth reserved by the service on each interface depends on
interface type, service profile and TDM clock source according to the following table.

The TDM2TDM encapsulation occupies more bandwidth than TDM2ETH one, since it
incorporates also some protection overhead.
In particular, in case of TDM2ETH service profile, E1 service bandwidth occupation
depends also on RTP presence or not. RTP presence depends on TDM clock source value:

differential -> RTP present

adaptive -> RTP not present

Tunnel Segment Creation via SNMP:

creation of Ethernet egress flow associated to Radio port (server ID = Radio port
ifIndex, service type = Ethernet) and corresponding to tunnel segment

creation of cross-connection between tunnel segments

CES termination profile creation via SNMP: nothing to be provisioned
CES termination creation via SNMP: nothing to be provisioned
Tunnel Termination Segment Configuration via SNMP: nothing to be provisioned

Radio To Radio Traffic Flow

The provisioning sequence is the same as above with the exception that ECID Tx/Rx
values must not be provisioned (NE configures automatically the zero value).
MPR requires the configuration of TDM clock source, payload size and RTP header also
on transit nodes: these attributes are conventionally aligned in the scope of the XC object
(only in case of transit node and TDM2ETH service profile).
Radio To Ethernet Traffic Flow

The provisioning sequence is the same as for the PDH-Radio cross-connection with the
addition of the destination MAC address provisioning in the PW table and with the
exception that ECID Tx/Rx values must not be provisioned (NE configures automatically
the zero value).
PDH To Ethernet Traffic Flow

The provisioning sequence is the same as for the PDH-Radio cross-connection with the
addition of the destination MAC address provisioning in the PW table.
Ethernet To Radio Traffic Flow

MPR does not allow to configure a VLAN range at an Ethernet input port for association
to one service flow, but only one single specific VLAN.
Ethernet to Radio connection is allowed in case of TDM2ETH service profile. It is a
MEF-8 encapsulation with VLAN tag (EtherType 0x8100).
It is configured in the same way as radio to Ethernet traffic flow.
Radio available bandwidth management during MEF8 CES implementation

The radioPDHTTPBidAvailableBandwith object is used to check if a cross-connection of

a TDM signal to/from Radio Direction is feasible (Connection Admission Control) and it
is updated automatically by the NE when the cross-connection is created or deleted.
CE manager is requested to manage the available bandwidth on Radio ports since the NE
also supports ATM services that contend for bandwidth with CE services. In fact, the
CAC checks performed by CE manager at allocation time ensure that there is enough
available bandwidth on the radio links selected by the routing algorithm, as far as only
circuit emulation services are concerned.

CE manager is therefore requested to implement the following behavior:

upload the available bandwidth of the radio port, when the radio link is notified to the
Packet Radio domain
automatically synchronize the available bandwidth of the radio port during audit
operation
support manual synchronization of available bandwidth on CE transport link with
radio transport technology
synchronize the available bandwidth of the radio port before starting CES
implementation, for all radio ports along the CES route

The available bandwidth attribute is reported on CE transport links belonging to Packet

Radio domain, together with the reserved bandwidth for CE services.
MEF8 CES configuration

For a TDM2TDM CES, PKT allows the configuration of the following CES attributes:

signal mode to framed/unframed (also at run-time)

VLAN (only if the CES is defined)

PM enabling/granularity (also at run-time)

Signal mode configuration to framed/unframed is not traffic impacting and it is performed

in both PDH ports.
VLAN ID is reconfigured in the tunnel segments.
PM enabling and granularity is reconfigured in the PDH CES terminations.
PM enabling and granularity is reconfigured in the PDH CES terminations.

ECID A->Z/ Z->A (only when the CES is defined)

destination MAC address (only when the CES is defined)

TDM clock source (only when the CES is defined or allocated)

ECID A->Z/ Z->A and destination MAC address are reconfigured in both CES
terminations.
TDM clock source is reconfigured in both CES terminations.
MEF8 CES termination configuration

The CES termination configuration allows to modify the following attributes.

For a CES of TDM2TDM service profile, PKT allows to configure the following CES
termination attributes:

PM enabling/granularity

For a defined CES of TDM2ETH service profile, PKT allows additionally to configure
the following PW termination attributes:

destination MAC address

ECID Tx/Rx and TDM clock source are reconfigured only on CES basis.

It is assumed that the operator has already provisioned via PKT the required T-MPLS

CES termination alarms enabling/disabling

The alarms on the PDH port are automatically:

enabled when setting the PDH port signal mode to

framed/unframed/framedFAS/framedCRC
disabled when setting the PDH port signal mode to disabled

It is not possible to suppress alarm notifications related to Ethernet ports.

Correlation of PDH port alarms to supported services

PKT manages the PDH port alarms horizontal correlation to CES. In case of unterminated
CES, PKT manages the Ethernet port alarm vertical correlation to CES.
Correlation of CES termination alarms to service

PKT manages the horizontal correlation of CES terminations loss of frame to CES
availability status transport failure.
CES fault localization

In case of faulty CE service, PKT manages the inventory of elementary alarms affecting
the service. The fault localization operates in the reverse direction of the correlation
process.
The CES fault localization must take into account the value of the CES availability status.
In case of transport failure, the root cause is a PDH port alarm or a CES termination
alarm.
In case of server transport failure, the root cause could be:

a radio port alarm

an Ethernet port alarm
a T-MPLS PW alarm

LOF on CES termination is also generated as the consequence of remote fault on a

radio/cable link.
Since the radio link failure does not trigger the automatic AIS insertion in the PDH signal
(or FDI insertion in the VLAN tunnel), then the NE that terminates the CES does not
receive any signal and therefore generates the LOF alarm on CES termination.
PKT must therefore be able to inform the operator that the CES failure is due to the server
layer (radio/cable) fault and that it is not due to the PDH layer fault. This is achieved
introducing a new fault probable cause in the availability status, i.e. the server transport
failure.

PKT manages the horizontal correlation of CES termination alarms towards the impacted
CES:

LOF on CES termination -> transport failure of CES

Correlation of link over radio alarms to supported services

Correlation of link over radio alarms to supported services (vertical correlation) is

ALWAYS performed.
PKT has to vertically correlate the radio link failure to the impacted services (keeping
into account the radio protection switch position).
The vertical correlation is performed by means of vertical alarm propagation from layer
to layer:

from radio link to VLAN tunnel

from VLAN tunnel to CES

The vertical correlation is performed according to two different algorithms, depending

whether the radio link is protected or unprotected.
Due to the vertically correlated alarm, the CES availability status indicates that there is a
server transport failure.
Vertical correlation in case of unprotected radio linkThe CES is in failure if there is a
radio link failure:

Unprotected link over radio failure -> server transport failure on VLAN tunnel ->
server transport failure on CES

The CES is degraded if there is a radio link degrade:

Unprotected link over radio degrade -> server transport degrade on VLAN tunnel ->
server transport degrade on CES

Vertical Correlation In Case Of Protected Radio Link

The CES is in failure only if there is a LossProt on main radio port:

LossProt on main radio port -> server transport failure on VLAN tunnel -> server
transport failure on CES

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The CES is degraded only if there is NOT a LossProt on main radio port and if there is a
degrade on both main and spare radio links:

Link over radio double degrade (or single failure + single degrade) -> server transport
degrade on VLAN tunnel -> server transport degrade on CES
Link over radio single failure -> no propagation to VLAN tunnel and CES

Link over radio single degrade -> no propagation to VLAN tunnel and CES

PKT triggers the vertical correlation from radio link transport failure to client VLAN
tunnels and CES as follows:

Link over radio double failure -> server transport failure on VLAN tunnel -> server
transport failure on CES
Link over radio double degrade (or single failure + single degrade) or single failure ->
server transport degrade on VLAN tunnel -> server transport degrade on CES

In the last case, the CES degrade must be interpreted as a warning for the user to perform
the fault localization to check if the CES is really impacted or not, since the NE does not
notify if the active link is faulty or not.
LossProt alarm on protected Radio port

Since R2.1 and in case of radio link protection, MPR supports the LossProt alarm on
main radio port.
The LossProt alarm is not propagated to the radio link. PKT reports this alarm on the
radio port and correlates it directly to the client VLAN tunnel and CES.

The audit of CE resources is in charge of CE manager and it is integrated in the scope of

the global AAR procedure.
The audited CE resources are:

CE node
CE port
CE ports include
CE edge ports (PDH or Ethernet)
CE transport link extremities (Ethernet only)

Tunnel XC
Tunnel XCs include:

Tunnel segments
Tunnel cross-connects
CE service terminations

For audit purposes, all Tunnel segment and CES termination attributes are mirrored in the

Audit of TSS-5C NE

The audit of T-MPLS PW terminations is performed by T-MPLS manager.

The audited CE resources are:

CE node
CE ports, including: CE edge ports (PDH)

Tunnel XC including: CE service terminations

For audit purposes, all CES termination attributes are mirrored in the tunnel XC.
Audit: ATM Xconn upload

During the audit operation, the upload involves the cross-connection with ATM2ATM or
ATM2ETH service profile, that are synchronized and stored in PKT database.
The retrieved ATM Xconns are visualized in the Xconn list retrievable from the
containing Packet Radio node.
The operator can then inspect the VLANID used by each ATM Xconn.
ATM Xconns are ignored by force-align down and Takeover operations.

CES Takeover description

Reservation: 9500 MPR NE

PKT creates in database resources that are present in the NE and missing in NMS
database. PKT marks the consistency status of the uploaded resources as reserved.
Reservation: TSS-5C NE

Starting from CES NE, the user can retrieve all discovered XCs: the XC attributes include
the SNMP PW attributes uploaded from NE.
MEF8 CES Takeover

PKT is requested to upload MEF8 CES connectivity already implemented in the network
and to display it to the user. The Takeover procedure works in PKT database exploiting
the reserved resources. At the end of the procedure, those resources that have been
successfully recognized as components of the recovered CES connectivity are marked as
normal.
The Takeover operation can be started on:

CES port: the system discovers automatically all services crossing the port

CES node: the system discovers automatically all services crossing the node

The algorithm pursues on VLANID and service profile basis the discovered
cross-connections in that port (or node) continuing the discovery in the adjacent node,
until an edge port is reached.
SATOP CES Takeover

The Takeover procedure is applied to SATOP CES, assuming that the T-MPLS PW
infrastructure has been already discovered and assigned to CES Domain.

Description

The number of Malformed packets in the

Pseudowire within 1 second must be met in
order to declare an alarm. Malformed
packets: are detected by mismatch between
the expected packet size (taking the value of
the L bit into account) and the actual packet
size inferred from the PSN and PW
demultiplexing layers. When RTP is used,
lack of correspondence between the PT value
and that allocated for this direction of the PW
is used for this purpose as well.

Create Circuit Emulation Service

When to use

The function creates a Circuit Emulation Service.

Related information

For a description about Circuit Emulation Services, refer to the topic Circuit Emulation
Services definition (p. 25-4).
Dedicated wizard for CES creation

In case of SATOP CES, the operator can select if the CES will be created in bottom-up or
top-down mode, by toggling the top-down flag:

in bottom-up mode, the operator must select the single link transporting the service
in top-down mode, no transport link can be selected and the system automatically
picks up one unused link or it creates a new one on the fly

In case of MEF8 CES, the system automatically applies a routing algorithm to identify
the transport links crossed by the service.
Wizard for SATOP CES creation

Some CES attributes are present both for MEF8 and SATOP services, but with different
range of values, as described in Table 25-22, MEF8 CES attributes (p. 25-109) section
and Table 25-23, SATOP CES attributes (p. 25-110).
Depending on domain type selection, the system automatically computes the
corresponding encapsulation type (MEF8, SATOP) and the wizard should present the
appropriate range of values for that encapsulation type.
Therefore, the operator can configure the following tabs:

in case of MEF8: Generic, Info, MEF8 and QoS

in case of SATOP: Generic, Info, RTP, QoS and OAM

The RTP, QoS and OAM tabs are disabled in case of MEF8, since the corresponding
attributes are not supported by MPR.
The management of SATOP requires also to introduce new CES attributes.
CES automatic allocation and routing

The CE service can be optionally allocated in cascade right after creation time.
The CES allocation triggers the automatic Tunnel allocation.
PKT supports the automatic routing of CE services. It automatically identifies the needed
radio/cable/T-MPLS links for transporting the service and reserves the needed bandwidth
on these links.
The automatic routing is applied to the Tunnel layer.

TSS 5 In Band Management

Overview
About the in-band management

The equipment of the family TSS 320, 100 etc. are able to take in charge and manage
other devices (TSS-3, TSS-5 etc.) usually on the customer side.
The local management is made by DCN, in the case of remote devices the management is
implemented by reserving a channel on the fiber link. On the cable PKT realizes user
services that are added to the service reserved to the control.
Management systems such as PKT must take into account the resources already allocated
in the managing equipment during both the allocation of new resources for the user, but
especially during the reserve release.
In case of release of all the resources you should not put down the ports when the channel
management must remain active.
The ZIC configures the "IN BAND MANAGEMENT". The cable port is configured with
an IP address reserved for the equipment to manage (add route) and a VLAN = 4094
reserved for the management of the NE (VLAN-DCN). In the case of TSS-5, T-MPLS
management requires a structuring of the cable tunnel and the pseudowire. The PKT, to
learn about the resources allocated by the ZIC should do a Takeover that is not working
with TSS-5/T-MPLS. Therefore needs to be rebuilt in PKT "hand" made the management
structure and take it up with the ZIC Allocated in order to reserve resources at PKT. These
resources must be recognizable not be erased by the operator.

T-MPLS Subnetwork topology

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

T-MPLS Subnetwork topology

Single T-MPLS sub-network

OMS uses the Router as a gateway (next hop) to manage the TSS nodes. A VSI is
configured on TSS-320 to transport the management traffic received from OMS (via
Router). The VSI consists of an incoming port from the Router, PWs connecting to the
remote TSS-5s, and a local interface to TSS-320.
Initially, when the OMS sends traffic towards TSS-5, the Router sends ARP request
towards TSS-320. The VSI on TSS-320 broadcasts this request over all ports/PWs of the
VSI. When the ARP response is received from TSS-5 the VSI learns the MAC address
over the PW and forwards it to the Router. The Router resolves the IP to MAC address of
TSS-5. All further traffic from the OMS (via Router) is sent with MAC address of TSS-5.
The VSI on TSS-320 forwards this traffic on a specific PW based on the destination MAC
address of the packet.
In this topology all IP addresses are on the same IP subnet.

Configuration Notes
Figure 28-1 TSS-5 interworking with TSS160/320

Configuration requirements

VLAN tag
The TSS5 requires a VLAN tag on management traffic. The router sends untagged
traffic. The TSS160/320 is not able to push a VLAN tag onto incoming traffic. As a
result there are 2 options:
1. Reconfigure router to insert a VLAN tag onto the port interfacing with the
Gateway TSS 160/320.
2. Insert another TSS5 between the router and the gateway. The VLNC4x will push a
VLAN on the incoming management traffic.

One T-MPLS tunnel required per TSS5 shelf. In addition, if protection is required, 1
protection tunnel per TSS5 is required.
For inband management of the TSS5s, the network (internal) IP address on the TSS5s
must be in the same subnet as the router. The serviceport (external) IP address must be
in a different subnet.

In-band configuration

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Inband management of both the VLNC4x and the VLNC6x requires only 1 tunnel.
However, 1 pseudo-wire (PW) is required for the VLNC4x and one PW for the
VLNC6x.
A transit T-MPLS tunnel is required on a node that is not terminating the given tunnel.
For instance, tunnel #3 is terminated on TSS5 #3. So TSS5 #1 and TSS5 #2 must have
a transit tunnel provisioned to forward the management traffic to TSS5 #3.

Tunnel and Pseudo-Wire Configuration

TSS5 T-MPLS Tunnel and Pseudo-Wire Configuration for Inband Management

The management tunnel depicted above is a terminated T-MPLS tunnel. The traffic
descriptor associated with the management tunnel, should have a CIR=PIR. This
value can be increased if necessary. The value for CBS and PBS can be any value.

The two tunnels depicted above are for management of both the VLNC4x and the
VLNC6x. PW #1 above is the PW for inband management of the VLNC4x. PW #2
above is the PW for inband management of the VLNC6x.
Port a-100 is an internal port on the VLNC4x. It is dedicated to inband management.
It is used as the UNI port for the PW #1. Port a-100 is used in R7.0.1 and above. In
release R7.0.0, the UNI port will be port a-60. Port d2-4 is the backplane port to the
VLNC6x. It is the UNI port for the PW #2.

Configuration details

Configuration via ZIC

A management VLAN must be chosen.

This management VLAN must be provisioned on each VLNC4x and on each
VLNC6x, in every TSS5 shelf:
System -> Configuration -> Service Network

Set Host-id and management VLAN.

For inband management to function for each VLNC4x:

create TUNNEL with the decided label.

Link Over EVC

Description

Link over EVC is lets a higher layer to use an EVC as an infrastructure.

In case of a single domain, Link over EVC is permit to manage scenarios otherwise
handled through E2E.
One EVC plus two Transport Links makes a Link over EVC
Since more than one EVC can coexist over the same Edge Port, the same Transport Link
can be used to form multiple Link over EVCs.
Edge Port is the extremity of one of the interworking links added to the EVC to obtain the
Link over EVC.
Only the case of Link over EVC built over T-MPLS EVCs and assigned to Provider
Bridge domain is considered here.
Once an EVC has been used to form a Link over EVC, it is locked and can't be modified.
It is marked for infrastructure
The created Link over EVC is visible in its own list in construction and can be used, for
the most part, as a normal link and assigned to a Domain in which it will be used to build
EVCs.
Involved objects

A Link over EVC is composed by an EVC and two interworking links are required.
The system checks that:

the EVC is not used to form another Link over EVC

there exist two Transport Links that are connected to the two extremities of the EVC
the two Transport Links have the same Technology. The technology can be either
SDH, Cable, VCG LAG or LAG
in case of Transport Links with SDH or VCG LAG Technology, both links have the
same Protocol Type (either GFP, LAPS or HDLC);
both links are bi-directional (no unidirectional links allowed)
the extremities of the two links that are not UNI for the EVC (the extremities are not
extremities of the Link over EVC):
the extremities:
they are not assigned to any domain
they are not both belonging to ENEs (at most one extremity of the Link over EVC
may belong to an ENE)

Bandwidth usage

The bandwidth used on the lower layer EVCs is allocated on the ports where they have
their termination, i.e. the internal ports of the interworking links.

Link Over EVC

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

On the external ports of the interworking links, only the bandwidth of the created Links
over EVC is allocated (in the above figure you can see that of the 3 Mb/s allocated on the
internal ports, only 2 Mb/s are allocated on the external ports, because one of the EVCs
has not been used to form a Link over EVC).
The Link over EVC has its own bandwidth and, on it, it is allocated the bandwidth used
by higher layer EVCs that use that Link over EVC.
A check of the available bandwidth is performed on the two Transport Links that have
been identified during previous checks. Since those Transport Links will be, together with
the specified EVC, the infrastructure of the Link over EVC to be created, the bandwidth
of the Link over EVC will consume the bandwidth of the Transport Links and, hence,
both Transport Links must have enough free bandwidth to host the Link over EVC.
Both Transport Links must have a capacity of at least the PIR of the EVC and they must
have an available bandwidth of at least the CIR of the EVC.
for each Transport Link:

Egress Shaping Rate of external port >= PIR of EVC

Available Bandwidth of external port >= CIR of EVC

Note: external port is the port of the Transport Link that is not a UNI for the EVC
Available Bandwidth = Egress Shaping Rate - sum of CIR .

sum of CIR is the sum of the CIR of all the Links over EVC terminated by that
port.

Link over EVC: unlock EVC

When to use

The operator un-marks an EVC as an infrastructure thus preventing it to be used to form a

Link over EVC.
Related Information

For more information, refer to Link Over EVC (p. 28-18).

Unlock EVC operation is only provided to work-around rare emergency situations where
there exists an EVC that is marked to be used for infrastructure (locked) but it's not used
for a Link over EVC and the operator does not want to use it to form a Link over EVC.
Lock EVC is not a user operation. It is accomplished when an EVC is used to form a Link
over EVC.
Lock EVC prevents the following operation on the locked EVC.

provisioning state changes (de-implementation)

topology changes (add/remove termination, add/remove flow)

modification (modify EVC, modify Termination, modify Flow)

configuration (configure EVC, configure Termination, configure Flow)
modification/configuration of any object used by the EVC (configuration of Edge
Ports, configuration of Transport Links)

join of a E2E EVC

Any operation that does not modify the EVC can be performed on it (list, properties,
navigations from/to other objects, etc.).

Link over EVC: assign and deassign

Assign Link over EVC to Domain

Being the Link over EVC a link from most points of view, it must be possible to assign it
to a Domain.
The only kind of Domain allowed to accept such a link is Provider Bridge.
As for any other link kind, whenever a Link over EVC is assigned to a Domain, the
system must check that the extremities of the link reside on two NEs that have a Working
Mode compatible with the chosen Domain.
The main difference in respect to another link kind is that the first Link over EVC to be
assigned to a Domain causes all the other Links over EVC that are made with one or both
of its interworking links, to be assigned to the same Domain (this is in order to prevent
that the same real port is assigned to two different domains).
If, for a mistake of the operator, a Link over EVC "LEVC1" is made by an interworking
Transport Link "Link1", that is part of another Link over EVC assigned to Domain
"PB1", and by an interworking Transport Link "Link2", that is part of another Link over
EVC assigned to Domain "PB2", this means that "LEVC1" can't be assigned to any
domain at all.
Once a Link over EVC is assigned to a Domain, the usual mechanics of the used
bandwidth management apply to its (virtual not real) extremities.
Refer to the general function to assign a resource to a domain.
Deassign Link over EVC from Domain

If not already used by an EVC, a Link over EVC assigned to a (Provider Bridge) Domain
can be de-assigned from it by the operator (as for other kinds of link).
To move a Link over EVC from a Domain to another, all the Links over EVC that share
with the former at least one interworking Transport Link, needs not to be assigned to any
Domain (i.e. any of those Links over EVC must be de-assigned from the Domain it
belongs to).
The procedure to move a Link over EVC from a Domain to another is:
1. De-assign the Link over EVC (LOE1) from its Domain (DOM1)
2. De-assign from DOM1 any Link over EVC sharing at least one interworking
Transport Link with LOE1. Any Link over EVC that shares an interworking TL with
LOE1 either is assigned to DOM1 or not assigned to any Domain.
3. Assign LOE1 to the new Domain (DOM2)
Refer to the general function to deassign a resource from a domain.

Link over EVC: Transport Link configuration

Limitations

The configuration of the extremities of the Link over EVC, from a bridge perspective, is
subject to limitations in its applicability.
The Link over EVC extremities are not real interfaces in the NE, rather they are virtual
ports internally created by PKT.
This means, among other things, that when the operator requests the configuration of a
Link over EVC, he is warned by the system that the configuration will affect all the Links
over EVC that shares the same interworking Transport Links.
In addition, the system will prevent the operator to configure a Link over EVC if it shares
only one interworking Transport Link with another Link over EVC (because this would
cause the other Link over EVC to have its extremities misaligned).
From a bridge perspective, it is possible to configure only the extremities of a Link over
EVC, also because the interworking links which make part of it do not belong to any
bridge Domain (hence they could not be configured in a bridge perspective) and, in
addition, have two extremities that have different Client Types.
As for other bridge Transport Links the configurable attributes are:

Acceptable Frame Type

P-VID
Ingress Filtering

VLAN Type
Default User Priority
Priority Bit Mapping
PCP

The activation of the extremities

The activation of the extremities of the Link over EVC is subject to limitations in its
applicability.
The Link over EVC extremities are not real interfaces in the NE, rather they are virtual
ports internally created by PKT.
This means that when the operator requests the activation of a Link over EVC, he is
warned by the system that the activation will affect all the Links over EVC that shares the
same interworking Transport Links.
If the activation is in the scope of the implementation of an EVC that uses the Link over
EVC, the operator is not warned.
The deactivation of the extremities

The deactivation of the extremities of the Link over EVC is subject to limitations in its
applicability.
The Link over EVC extremities are not real interfaces in the NE, rather they are virtual
ports internally created by PKT.
This means, among other things, that when the operator requests the deactivation of a
Link over EVC, he is warned by the system that the deactivation will affect all the Links
over EVC that shares the same interworking Transport Links.
If the deactivation is in the scope of the de-implementation of an EVC that uses the Link
over EVC, the operation is not performed at all if there's another Link over EVC with the
same interworking Transport Links and that is used by an EVC that is at least partially
implemented.

Link over EVC: Usage within an EVC

Work around

There are limitations to be worked around in order to make correctly interact the Link
over EVC with STP.
The capability of the Link over EVC to correctly interact with (i.e. let pass through) the
BPDU of the xSTP protocol used by the higher level EVC, depends on how the
underlying EVC is made.

capability of the inner EVC to encapsulate the BPDU and transport them;
frames allowed to transit into the inner EVC.

A T-MPLS EVC complies with 1), but the compliancy with 2) depends on the TCs
present in the EVC Terminations of the inner EVC.
This means, for example, that an EVC with a set of TCs that makes only pass frames with
VIDs in the range 10-100, will never be able to make STP/RSTP BPDUs to pass (they are
untagged...).
In this case the operator can approach this problem in different ways:

use the Link over EVC only in domains with STP Type = None/Disabled;
configure the extremities of the Link over EVC to have Forced Port State =
Forwarding;

have the Link over EVC accept any kind of frame (Default TC = Don't Care);
create a second Link over EVC used only for BPDU to pass.

Ethernet Linear Protection (ELP)

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ethernet Linear Protection (ELP)

Description

TSS-3 R2.2 introduces a VLAN-based Ethernet Linear Protection based on ITU-T

G.8031/Y.1342 (Ethernet Protection Switching).
Albeit the ITU standard foresees a number of different protection schemes, PKT is going
to support only bidirectional 1:1 linear protection (the only one supported by TSS-3).
Ethernet Linear Protection (ELP) applies to Virtual Bridge and Provider Bridge EVCs.
This specification is going to focus on the Provider Bridge case (even if most of what is
said is applicable to the Virtual Bridge case too).
The protection is linear and, hence, only applies to linear connectivity, i.e. EVCs with
a linear route.
In short, ELP aims to provide an alternative route to the traffic of an EVC, so that, if
there's a failure on the main route, the traffic is switched on the other route quickly and
with minimal impacts.
In order to achieve this, the following elements are needed:

a linear connectivity to protect (i.e. a Virtual or Provider Bridge EVC);

an alternate route;
one MA running on the route to protect (using Down MEPs, of course);

one MA running on the alternate route (using Down MEPs, of course);

a Protection Group that associates the main and the alternate route and that manages
the protection switch.

Whenever on the main route there's a failure that prevents traffic, the failure is detected
by OAM CC and the Protection Group performs the switch on the alternate route.
Independently from the protection, the EVC as a whole can be monitored by an OAM CC
through a MA.
ITU-T G.8031/Y.1342 is a VLAN based protection, this means that what is protected is
the VLAN used as a transport for the frames (i.e. the S-VID in the Provider Bridge case).
The EVC to protect has it's S-VID distributed over its data plane, in addition, the alternate
route must have the protecting S-VID distributed all over the ports that belongs to it.
The protecting S-VID can be the same S-VID of the EVC or a different one depending on
what supported by the involved NEs (e.g. TSS-3 R2.2 only supports different VIDs).
Since STP and EPL conflicts, when EPL is used no STI must be running on the involved
ports. This means either that STP is disabled on the involved NEs (STP Type =
None/Disabled) or that STP Force Port State is "Forwarding" for the involved ports.
As a consequence, the routes of the involved EVC must be fully linear, with no cycles,
nor branches inside (otherwise, without STP, traffic would multiply until fully fill the
transport links capacity).

Ethernet Linear Protection (ELP)

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

This specification has been developed with in mind the T-MPLS protection (tunnel
protection). Since the differences of the two cases (the EVC is an object conceptually
very different than the Tunnel), it has not always been possible to stick to the same
approach.
Even if it could already be obvious (or it will be obvious in the following), it's worth to
specify now that ELP only applies to EVCs with VLAN Distribution = Not Full Meshed.
The T-MPLS approach: why we can't follow it completely

In the T-MPLS approach, when we have a Tunnel to protect, we are able to create another
Tunnel and associate the two under a Protection Group, so that the first Tunnel is the
working one and the second Tunnel is the protecting one.
As a first try, an identical approach based on having a working EVC and a protecting
EVC was firstly analyzed and, after some reasoning, discarded because, in reality, the
"protecting EVC" is not an EVC at all (it has no EVC Terminations), but simply an
alternate route, a protecting data plane.
We discovered that modeling the alternate route as an EVC (which isn't) brings a lot of
conceptual and practical problems that made us discard it.
The proper way to model a protected EVC is to have one EVC and two data planes:
We found a couple of approaches to achieve this kind of model.
Link over EVC and Protecting Data Plane

The approach hereby described consists in having the direct creation of the data plane
(that in the case of EVC Fragment is not a big issue) while removing the need for E2E (so
that we can safely ignore the E2E issues we would have with this approach).
We need two things:

1. direct creation of protecting data plane within the Add Protection operation;
2. link over EVC.

Direct creation of protecting data plane

A new operation "Add Protection" is available to the operator that, through it, is able to
add a "Protecting Data Plane" to an existing EVC. The Protecting Data Plane is specified
in Add Protection by passing a number of Transport Links and, optionally, one or two
E-NNI port(s).
Even if the Protection Group must be provisioned to the involved NEs, it's not needed to
make it a distinct object at PKT level: it could just be a set of properties that are
visible/enabled when the EVC is under protection.
Link over EVC over T-MPLS

This feature is already described by its own set of RATS.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Pros and cons

Pros:

there exist only a single EVC with two data planes;

there is clear distinction between the working route, the protecting route and the
protected EVC;
alarm correlation works on a single EVC (it could be feasible to allow alarm
correlation only if the EVC is under OAM CC);
only one domain in most cases -> no E2E

in case of single link EVC, an even simpler procedure (and with minimal
development effort) could be used

Cons:

a new entity is introduced (even if it's only a "sub object" of the EVC) and operations
are needed to manage it, alternatively, if few operations are provided to the operator to
manage it, it will be difficult for him to handle this kind of object;
effort to realize Link over EVC
impacts caused by Link over EVC
this approach was designed to avoid E2E, if E2E is needed despite the link over EVC,
creating a Protecting Data Plane for an E2E EVC can be not trivial for the operator
and difficult to understand/manage (it seems also a problem from the development
point of view)

EVC attributes to support ELP

New attributes are added to the EVC in order to support ELP. These new attributes are
meaningful only for protected EVCs.
Notice that, while Protection is always meaningful, when Protection is no all the other
attributes are not meaningful.

Protect an EVC

Protection is applied to an EVC under the following conditions:

the EVC has VLAN Distribution = Not Full Meshed;

the EVC is not already protected;

the values specified for the attributes of the protection are valid;
the S-VID for the Protecting Data Plane is different than the S-VID of the EVC;

the EVC is linear.

the EVC is linear when (the following conditions imply that the EVC is at least
allocated):

it has its EVC Terminations in exactly two NEs (i.e. it has at least two EVC
Terminations in two different NEs, but there can be more than two EVC
Terminations as long as the involved NEs are no more than two);
it has a data plane (which is going to become the Working Data Plane) that is
linear, i.e. it's and end-to-end chain of Transport Links from an extremity NE
(i.e. a NE where an EVC Termination is) to the other;
the specified Protecting Data Plane is linear and has the same extremities of the
Working Data Plane, i.e. it's and end-to-end chain of Transport Links from an
extremity NE (i.e. a NE where an EVC Termination is) to the other;
the involved Domain has STP Type = None/Disabled or all the involved ports have
Forced Port State = Forwarding;
the NEs at the extremities support Ethernet Linear Protection.

Unprotect an EVC

The system does the following:

if the EVC is Implemented or Partially Implemented,

un-provisions the protection from the involved NEs:

un-provisions the Protection Group;

un-provisions the two involved MAs;
un-provisions the Protecting Data Plane;
any failure during this phase ends the procedure leaving the EVC with
Provisioning State = Partially Implemented and Protection = Yes

if the un-provisioning has been successful or if the EVC is Allocated:

removes the Protection Group;
removes the two involved MAs;

removes the Protecting Data Plane;

any failure during this phase causes a rollback and exits with the EVC in the same
state it was before this phase.

two MAs are created, one for each data plane, with each MA having two Down
MEPs (one Down MEP for each extremity of the associated data plane);

a Protection Group is created with two Protection Units:

the one with Working Role associated to the Working Data Plane and to the
Working MA;
the one with Protecting Role associated to the Protecting Data Plane and to the
Protecting MA;

the EVC's Protection attribute is set to "yes";

if anything goes wrong during this phase, a rollback is done and the state of the
EVC remains unchanged;

if the EVC is Implemented the protection is provisioned to the involved NEs:

the Protecting Data Plane is provisioned;

the two MAs are provisioned and OAM CC is enabled on them;

the Protectiong Group is provisioned;
if at any step there's a failure the EVC becomes Partially Implemented and the
procedure ends.

if the STP Type of the Domain is not None/Disabled, all the ports in the data planes of
the EVC have their Forced Port State locked on Forwarding (i.e. that attribute can't be
configured for those ports).
In the above procedure, any failure during the provisioning of any element needed for
the protection (Protecting Data Plane, OAM objects, Protection Group) causes the
EVC to become Partially Implemented and stops the procedure but always exits with
a protected EVC (although not fully implemented in some cases) .
,whenever a failure occurs during the provisioning phase, at the end the EVC is
Partially Implemented and has Protection = yes.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

If, after an Add Protection, an EVC that initially was Implemented becomes Partially
Implemented, the operator can recover the situation in one of these three ways:

de-implement the EVC and obtain an allocated protected EVC (then it's possible to
continue by re-trying the implementation of the EVC or removing the protection);
remove the protection from the EVC, thus obtaining (in case of success) an
implemented unprotected EVC (if successful the EVC could yet remain in Partially
Implemented state and it could be necessary to implement it to update its Provisioning
State);
implement the EVC, thus obtaining (in case of success) an implemented protected
EVC.

Disabled operations

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Disabled operations
Deallocation is disabled

A Provider Bridge EVC can be protected only when at least allocated, hence de-allocation
is disabled.
To enable de-allocation is necessary to remove the protection from the EVC.
Change topology is disabled

A protected Provider Bridge EVC has its topology locked so any operation that changes
the topology is disabled.
The following operations are not allowed for a protected EVC:

add termination
remove termination

add transport link

remove transport link
add flow
remove flow

NNIs is Locked

The NNIs that are referred by a Protection Group (i.e. the extremities of the working and
protecting data planes) can't be configured or they could have different configuration and
that's not allowed.
For each protected EVC there exist four NNIs that are the extremities of its two Data
Planes (two NNIs for the working Data Plane and two NNIs for the protecting Data
Plane), in order for the protection to work properly the working NNI and the protecting
NNI that are in the same NE must have the same configuration.
This means, among other things, that when an EVC is protected the NNIs at the
extremities of its Data Planes can't be configured anymore by the operator (they are
locked). any explicit configuration operation on those ports is refused by the system.

Alarm propagation for protected EVCs

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Alarm propagation for protected EVCs

Propagation from Transport Link to EVC

At the moment, in the scope of bridge EVCs, there's no propagation at all of alarms from
Transport Link to EVC. This is due to the fact that a failure on a single Transport Link in
a connectionless scenario does not mean, in general, any failure for the supported EVC(s).
The case of the protected EVC is different: there are two linear routes and this means that
if two links on the two routes stop working, the EVC is alarmed. This kind of
correlation/propagation could be done by PFM BB basing on the currently active route.
Anyway, in order to simplify the management of alarms it has been decided to not
implement this kind of correlation and, instead, leave this task to the OAM on the EVC.
In other words, if the operator wants to know whether the EVC is working or not, he will
have to activate the OAM CC on it and watch OAM alarms.

OAM on protected EVC

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

OAM on protected EVC

OAM for data planes

In order for ELP to work, there's the need of a MA for each Data Plane.
This means that a new kind of MA is introduced: after the MA for EVC, the MA for Edge
Port and the MA for Transport Link we have the MA for Data Plane.
OAM on protected EVC

The EVC has two VIDs : the VID of the protected route/data plane (i.e. the original
S-VID) and the VID of the protection.
If the protection route is active the NEs at the extremity of the EVC take care to "convert"
the OAM packets, that originally were created for the S-VID, so to work with the
protection VID.
The internal NEs of the protection route are not even aware of the protection and, in order
to make OAM work, must have a MA with protection S-VID.
The operator must be aware of the protection when operating the OAM over the protected
EVC.
For example, when the operator requests an OAM LB specifying the MAC address of a
MIP, he/she must be aware of the currently active route and know that if a MIP on the
other route will be chosen, the loopback will fail for sure.
Analogously, in the case of OAM LT, the operator must be aware of the protection in
order to correctly interpret the results of the link trace.
Performance Monitoring

PM on protected EVC has no impacts at all for what concerns ELP

Audit

The new items with protected EVCs are:

protected Data Plane

Data Plane MAs

Protection Group

First two items must be handled by PKT at high level (toward the operator and internally
within the DB) but the related NE elementary objects (VLAN member sets, MDs, MAs,
MEPs) are already managed by PKT. This means that no new management is needed for
these objects on the AAR side
In the audit results we will only see the Protection Group entity that, will encompass
attributes of both the Protection Group and the Protection Unit.
