8. Packet Vs. TDM Transport
Chart from Infonetics, Text from DT
TDM transport of packets is no longer economically
viable, lacks statistical multiplexing which makes it very
expensive
Full transformation to NGN needs
to occur from core to customer
Long term vision is critical, this will be the network for the
next decade
What is the most effective
technology choice that will:
–Minimize CapEx and OpEx?
–Provide carrier class service delivery?
–Maximize service agility?
Carriers want the deterministic attributes of transport
networks with the flexibility of the internet

10. L2 – Transport
Technology Review
• Two technologies for L2 transport over MPLS:
– Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS)
• Used for L2 point-to-point link over MPLS cloud
• No MAC learning involved
– Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS)
• Used for multipoint L2 connections
• Collection of pseudowires tied together by a Virtual Forwarding
Interface (VFI)
• MAC addresses learned on VFI
• Traffic forwarding based on destination MAC addresses
• H-VPLS, an extension of VPLS

13. What is MPLS-TP?
• MPLS-TP – MPLS Transport Profile
– Subset and extension of current MPLS functions
– Connection-oriented transport based on MPLS protocols combined with transport style OAM and protection
mechanisms
Data Plane Control Plane
– Standard MPLS Forwarding – NMS provisioning option
– Bidirectional P2P and P2MP LSPs – GMPLS control plane option
• No LSP merging – PW control plane option
• PHP optional
– Standard PW (SS-PW, MS-PW)
OAM Resiliency
– In-band OAM channel (GACH) – Sub-50ms protection switch over
– Connectivity Check (CC): proactive (BFD) – 1:1, 1+1, 1:N path protection
– Connectivity Verification (CV): reactive (BFD) – Linear protection
– Alarm Suppression and Fault Indication with AIS (new tool), RDI – Ring protection
(BFD), and Client Fault Indication (CFI)
– Performance monitoring, proactive and reactive (new tools)

26. Network Virtualization (nV)
Deployment Scenarios
• L2VPN
– SP 3Play and L2 Business VPN
– DCI (data center inter-connect) (both enterprise and SP DCI)
– Ethernet exchange
• Wireline Aggregation
– L3 termination, no IP session
• BNG (distributed or centralized)
• Wireless Back haul
• L3 CPE aggregation

27. Network Virtualization (nV)
Deployment Example – L2VPN Service
 Active/standby MC-LAG
A A  bandwidth inefficiency
Active PW  4 PWs with 3 standby
 control plane overhead
Active Active
 PW failover time depends on
the number of PWs
Standby PW  slow convergence
LACP
S

LACP
 Require additional state
sync (for example, IGMP
Snooping table) to speed up
Standby Standby
service convergence
Solution1: MC-LAG + 2-way PW redundancy  complex
(Currently the best solution in the market)
 Active/active regular LAG
 Single PW
 Link/Node failure is
protected by LAG, PW is
even not aware  super
fast convergence
 State sync naturally
Solution 2: ASR 9000 Cluster  Simple, fast solution

28. Network Virtualization (nV)
Deployment Example – L3 Service
 CE dual homing to two PE routers. It has 2
separated L3 interface, and run separated
IGP/BGP session with two PE routers
 Traffic load balance over the two ECMP
paths
 When link or node failure, IGP/BGP
Two Routing adjacency goes down. Protocol re-converge.
Adjacency BGP PIC edge feature is used for fast BGP
convergence
 No state sync between two PE routers
 CE dual homing to one virtual PE. Single
routing adjacency over the link bundle
 Traffic load balance over the link bundle
 When link or node failure, bundle remains
up, so upper layer protocol is even not aware
 super fast convergence, and simple
Single Routing
Adjacency  State sync naturally

• Install special satellite image on the selected access device to make it ASR 9000 satellite
• Running satellite auto discovery and control protocol to make satellite as ―virtual line card‖ of the ASR 9000 Host
• From end user point of view, it’s single virtual system – ASR 9000 nV System. All management, configuration are
done on the Host chassis
• Satellite and Host could co-locate or in different location. There is no distance limit between satellite and Host
Satellite have zero touch configuration*
