As per the data of OVUM, LTE traffic keeps growing fast since 2010.
Famous operators around the world gradually take LTE as the future of their wireless networks. Since 2010, they
started related trials or official applications. To June 2012, 80 LTE networks were under official application.

Implementing unified scheduling in the core layer, the LTE service bearer insists on the Backhaul bearer architecture in 2G/3G era.. As the LTE has S1-Flex and X2 Ports which
require service forwarding according to destination IP addresses, so the bearer layer should support L3 services to meet the requirements of the service Ports and wireless SON

Use PTN end-to-end networking to realize L2 VPN + L3 VPN solution. The access
aggregation layer uses L2 VPN, and the core scheduling adopts L3 VPN.
Both the access aggregation layer and core layer use PTN scheduling to be
responsible for the S1/X2.
The core node of the PTN scheduling layer is configured with the L3 VPN to
realize flexible configurations. Both dynamic route and static route are
supported.
Compared with the router, the PTN device not only simplifies the L3 service,
but also inherits the reliability and easy-management feature of the PTN.

The EVPL service is used for access aggregation. The base station uses L2 private lines to access the core PTN node. The bridging from L2 to VRF L3 is done in the
core node.
The tunnel between the PE nodes adopts the PTN static tunnel technology. It also inherits the PTN protection mechanism of the entire network.
Initiate L3VPN between core nodes. The VPN route can be done in the following two ways:

City B

The host route is often decided by the number of the base station (M)of the core PTN node. The M is usually less than 1000.
The network section route is mainly used between the PE nodes of the L3VPN. Each node may generate a section route. So if there are N PE nodes in total, there would
be N-1 network section routes.
As a result, the number of the routing table item should be MN1, which is around 1K. Even in the extreme situation, the number wont exceed 2K.
The routing capability of ZTE ZXCTN 6500 the PTN device in the core layer, is 64K, which totally satisfies the bearer requirements in the LTE stage.
The test of network management services, including end-toend service configuration, and management.
Test results:
Routing table capability: ZTE PTN devices support60K.
VRF number: PTN devices support 1024.

The comparisons of the technologies show the PTN end-to-end solution is more suitable for China Mobile LTE service bearer.
Note1: When the PTN and CE devices are from the same vendor, a shared network management is announced available. But in fact, due to the weak
network management service of the CE router, the service configuration and failure location services have to be done in the manner of cmd line.
Also, the network management does not give support to the in-batch VRRP creation service of the CE router, thus, the end-to-end management cant
be implement in practice.

In one to one solution, L2/L3 bridging point should configure lots of IP address, under this solution, IP
address and routing plan is complicated.
Multiple to one solution has the problem of broadcasting.
In multiple to one VLAN aggregation solution, one BTS adopts one independent VLAN. To avoid
broadcasting, in L2/L3 bridging point, convergence multiple VLAN and configure one IP address.
It is suggested to adopt multiple to one VLAN aggregation solution.

Each eNodeB is assigned with a separate VLAN to be borne through E-Line at the access/aggregation layer.
Terminate E-Line through different virtual VLAN sub-Ports inside the core node to completely isolate broadcast.
Each virtual VLAN sub-Port is configured with an IP address that is in the same network section of the corresponding base station. For example, for base
station 10.1.1.1, the IP address of the corresponding virtual VLAN sub-Port can be configured as 10.1.1.2 with 24-bit mask.
The access/aggregation layer is completely compatible with the constructed PTN network; no change is needed.
