Access Network E-Line instances are used in the MPLS/MPLS-TP network to transport core and X2 traffic between Access site and PE. Backhaul Network: When E-Line is terminated at core, X2 traffic is routed at core layer across Backhaul network by L3 VPN gateway with super VLAN configuration, Core traffic is forwarded to SEG.

Separation and prioritization of Service

11

Service Awareness and E2E QOS

Service awareness help to deploy differentiated dispatch according to priority
EF Traffic Traffic : DSCP >55 : VCI=20,30 DSCP>55

(Expedited Forward) AF VCI=20,30

(Assured Forward) Traffic : VLAN=20,30 BE VLAN=20,30

(Best Effort)

Service awareness help to deploy differentiated dispatch according to priority ATM: service QoS are recognized based on VPI/VCI. Different types of services are mapped into different PWE3 circuits. Ethernet: QoS are recognized according to VLAN ID & DSCP( differentiate service Code Point ). Real-time TDM, carry out expedited forwarding at CBR.

IngressIdentify custom services, CAC processing and service priority mapping to tunnel priority Intermediateservice dispatch according to tunnel priority, can use PQ, PQ + WFQ schedule policies EgressPop tunnel label, restore native custom service and QoS information
