Technological Background
In recent years, the data service keeps growing rapidly whereas the annual growth of
narrowband/conventional voice services has stuck or very slow. New services such
as 3G mobile, L2/L3 VPN, and IPTV use packet-based data traffic, and these
services are utilizing the bulk of most carrier and service providers’ bandwidth.
As demand for data services rapidly grows, providers are facing the challenge of how
to lower the cost of providing these services.
Today, many carriers must maintain and operate multiple networks or different layers
of the network. With data traffic consuming the majority of carrier’s bandwidth in the
current SDH/SONET infrastructure, it is critical for today’s metro network carriers and
service providers to use a convergence transport technology. Carriers and Service
Providers are searching for new transport technology that will enable them to deliver
service more profitably and efficiently in a highly competitive telecommunications
market.
One of the main objectives of the next generation transport network is the ability to
multiplex and aggregate multiple services over the same physical facility. This ability
enables a provider to provision new services on the existing facility without upgrading
the physical installation for every new service. One of the technologies used in
modern Packet Transport Network (PTN) is to take advantage of the cost-
effectiveness and ease-of-use of Pseudo Wire (PW) over T-MPLS/MPLS-TP
architecture (RFC 3985), and adding carrier-class features such as traffic engineering,
Quality of Service (QoS) and connection oriented provisioning.
The introduction of T-MPLS/MPLS-TP PW based PTN to metro transport network
permits network operators to migrate all of their transport services to be carried over
converged IP/T-MPLS/MPLS-TP core networks. This approach allows carriers and
Service Providers to generate more revenue by rapidly introducing new, as well as
existing services, while reducing operational and capital network costs.

SpectralWave MN5100 Introduction


Abstract
SpectralWave MN5100 C Type (hereinafter referred to as MN5100 C Type) is a new
generation-data transport product based on PW over T-MPLS/MPLS-TP technology.
Equipped with the enhanced data service processing capability and powerful network
management functions, the MN5100 is well oriented to the modern PTN.
MN5100 C Type mainly is deployed at metro network, and can provide all-round
network solutions at the access layer and aggregation layer of a MAN (Metropoliatan
Area Network) and enormously reduces overall operation cost.
With MN5100 C Type, Ethernet or TDM (E1) payload is transported over the PW
layer where those payloads can be encapsulated and multiplexed/demultiplexed into
T-MPLS/MPLS-TP LSP tunnels. T-MPLS/MPLS-TP layer provides transport LSP
tunnel for the traffic to transfer across IP-MPLS/T-MPLS/MPLS-TP core network.
MN5100 C Type has been defined for accommodating various techniques into T-
MPLS/MPLS-TP networks. Client services such as PDH (E1) and Ethernet can be
encapsulated into MPLS PW. Figure 1 shows illustration of the multi-service MPLS
PW. These PWs are being transported to the far end of the network through a T-
MPLS/MPLS-TP based packet switching network.

Figure 1 Metro and MPLS Core Network

In Figure 1, MN5100 C Type is used as the User Provider Edge (UPE) device and
many different types of traffic can be encapsulated and transformed via the MPLS
PWs. MN5200 or MN5300 is used as the Network Provider Edge (NPE) devices to
transport multiple PWs through the MPLS core network via a single MPLS Tunnel.
In theory, hybrid MN5100 C Type, MN5200 and MN5300 can construct one metro
network, MN5100 C Type or MN5200 is recommended to be used at the metro
access layer, with MN5200 or MN5300 at the metro aggregation layer.
MN5100 C Type supports up to 512 LSPs and PWs per chassis.

Hardware Architecture
MN5100 C Type Chassis
MN5100 C Type uses high-speed backplane buses and high capacity packet switch
fabric, which greatly enhances efficiency and reduces the overall size of the system.
The feature-rich MN5100 is compact. The chassis is 1U (1U = 44.45mm) height and
can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack. Dimensions of MN5100 without hangers,
cabling clips and brackets are: 44.5mm (height) x 442.0mm (width) x 245.0mm
(depth).
The MN5100 C Type chassis equipped with FAN module and backplane weighs
3460g.
Figure 2 shows the fully-loaded MN5100 C Type chassis view.

2. The installation and removal operation of OPCC, OPCC+, PDC or PAC card is
forbidden at field. It can be performed by authorized engineers only.

Power Supply System


MN5100 C Type can be equipped with either PDC or PAC card as the power access
card.
 If MN5100 C Type uses -48V DC power supply, PDC card (which is included in
the MN5100 DC chassis) should be equipped.
 If MN5100 C Type uses 110V or 220V AC power supply, PAC card (which is
included in the MN5100 AC chassis) should be equipped.
Based on the centralized power supply approach, PDC or PAC card provides 3.3 V
power to each service card.
The fan tray assembly uses stable 5V power supplied by power module in the OPCC
or OPCC+ card.
The power consumption of a fully-loaded MN5100 C Type chassis is about 50W,
typically 25W (without CFT08C or CFF08C card).

Software Architecture
The MN5100 C Type delivers the software features required for transferring TDM and
Ethernet services across T-MPLS/MPLS-TP data networks.

System Overview SpectralWave MN5100 C Type


Chapter 1 System Description 7

Figure 4 shows the general software architecture of MN5100 C Type.


Figure 4 MN5100 C Type Layer Architecture

Client Service Layer


MN5100 C Type system supports IP and Data client service through Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet. It also supports TDM client service via 16xE1 interfaces.

Server Layer
The server layer of MN5100 C Type transmits services coming to/from client service
layer using PW through a T-MPLS/MPLS-TP network.

Uplink Layer
T-MPLS/MPLS-TP packets can then be transmitted through the uplink layer. The
uplink layer can use Gigabit Ethernet interface.

System Features
Services and Interfaces
MN5100 C Type is suitable for the triple play or multi-play application and has
abundant service interfaces such as Ethernet and TDM.

Interface Type
The MN5100 C Type supports:
 Ethernet service: 10M/100M FE and Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces
 PDH emulation service: E1 interface

System Access Capability


Interfaces supported by a MN5100 C Type chassis as follows:
 16 x E1 CES interfaces
 4 x GE interfaces
 20 x FE optical interfaces

SpectralWave MN5100 C Type System Overview


8 Chapter 1 System Description

 20 x FE electrical interfaces

Service Switching Capacity


MN5100 C Type supports switching capacity up to 6.4Gbps.
The maximum switching capacity for the slots is distributed as follows:
 Expansion slot1: 8 x FE
 Expansion slot2: 8 x FE
 System Board Slot: 16 x E1, 4 x FE (RJ-45) and 4 x FE/GE (SFP).

Pseudo Wire
Generic PW
PWs have been the essential technologies for emulating different types of services.
The required functions of PWs include:
 Encapsulating service-specific PDUs (Protocol Data Units) arriving at an ingress
port
 Carrying those PDUs across a path or tunnel across MPLS networks
 Managing PDUs timing and order
 Any other operations required emulating the behavior and characteristics of the
services as precisely as possible
The end-to-end PWs that are used to interconnect two CE devices through the
common MPLS Packet Switched Networks are called single-segment pseudo wires
(SS-PWs). There is also requirement for PWs across more than one packet switched
network (PSN) domain and/or more than one PSN tunnel. These PWs are called
multi-segment pseudo wires (MS-PWs). Both SS-PW and MS-PW are supported.
Figure 5 shows an SS-PW and an MS-PW.
Figure 5 SS-PW and MS-PW

A PW must be set up before an emulated circuit can be established, and must be torn
down when an emulated circuit is no longer needed. Setup and teardown of a PW

Chapter 1 System Description 9

can be triggered by a command from the management plane of a PE device such as


MN5100 C Type, MN5200 and MN5300, or by setup/teardown of an attachment
circuit from CE devices, or by an auto-discovery mechanism. During the dynamic
setup process, the PE devices need to exchange information e.g., to learn each
other's capability. The setup mechanism must enable the PEs to exchange all
necessary information in which both endpoints must agree on methods for
encapsulating PDUs, handling frame ordering, the signaling protocol to use and the
information needed to exchange for specific service. Today, telecom carriers are
willing to control the LSP path and bandwidth more explicitly. MN5100 C Type,
MN5200 and MN5300 support manually provisioning the LSP through network
management systems.
Being service-related, one or more PWs can be ‘stitched’ into one LSP. The operator
can configure each PW according to the client service requirements, such as
bandwidth, QoS, protection, and then stitching configuration.
For each PW, fault detection and diagnostic mechanisms are supported. End-to-end
fault detection and diagnostics for a PW can determine its real operational state (The
methods used for PW operation and maintenance are totally different from the
methods used in LSP tunnel operation and maintenance).
Virtual Circuit Connection Verification (VCCV) is used to check the connectivity of
each PW.
In general, the PW implementation on MN5100 C Type, MN5200 and MN5300
supports:
 Single-segment PW
 Multi-segment PW
 Static PW setup/teardown through network management system
 PW VCCV: in-band management
- ICMP Ping
- LSP Ping
 PW Convergence into one LSP tunnel

PDH Specific PW
MN5100 C Type supports PDH traffic emulation at E1 format.
Figure 6 shows the applicability of the PDH PW for so-called TDM Emulation service.
Figure 6 TDM Circuit over Packet Network

MN5100 C Type supports the structure-agnostic method. E1 circuit can be


encapsulated into PDH PWs through structure-agnostic transport, i.e., the protocol
completely disregards any structure that may possibly be imposed on these signals,
in particular the structure imposed by standard TDM framing. This PDH PW is very
SpectralWave MN5100 C Type System Overview
10 Chapter 1 System Description

suitable for applications where the PEs have no need to interpret TDM data or to
participate in the TDM signaling.
MN5100 C Type uses the high priority for transport of the TDM streams, and two
classes of service for TDM over PW are provided.
MN5100 supports:
 E1 to CEP PW encapsulation
MN5100 C Type uses high priority for transport of the TDM streams, and two QoS
classes are provided.

Ethernet Specific PW
Ethernet is common layer 2 technique used for network communication. An Ethernet
PW is used to carry Ethernet/802.3 Protocol Data Units (PDUs) over an MPLS
network. This enables service providers to offer ‘emulated’ Ethernet services over
existing MPLS networks.
With MN5100 C Type, Ethernet PW uses emulated bridge service to provide logical
channel for interconnecting switches in different locations.
The supported features of Ethernet Layer 2 are as follows:
 GE interface Flow control per IEEE 802.3, be able to be retrieved by LCT and OS
 GE interface auto-Negotiation per IEEE 802.3, be able to be enabled or disabled
by LCT and OS.
 GE duplex mode, be able to be retrieved by LCT and OS
 Storm suppression
A LAN storm occurs when packets flood the LAN, creating excessive traffic and
degrading network performance. Errors in the protocol-stack implementation or in
the network configuration can cause a storm. Storm control (or traffic
suppression) monitors incoming traffic statistics over a time period and compares
the measurement with a predefined suppression level threshold. The threshold
represents the percentage of the total available bandwidth of the port. The switch
supports separate storm control thresholds for broadcast, multicast, and unicast
traffic. If the threshold of a traffic type is reached, further traffic of that type is
suppressed until the incoming traffic falls below the threshold level.
 802.3ad link aggregation and automatic trunk load-balancing
 Access Control List (ACL)
 Port Mirror
Basic Ethernet PW emulation allows a service provider to offer a "port to port"
Ethernet-based VPWS service across the MPLS PSN. By using service-delimiting
VLAN tag in tagged mode, the Ethernet VLAN PW emulation provides an ‘Ethernet
VLAN to VLAN’ based VPLS/H-VPLS service across the MPLS packet switched
network. VPWS and VPLS/H-VPLS services support following service delimiting
mode:
 Port mode: the whole traffic from the port is mapped to the PW.
 Single VLAN mode: the first VLAN field on the packet is the service delimiting tag
System Overview SpectralWave MN5100 C Type
Chapter 1 System Description 11

 Nested VLAN mode (Q in Q): The first VLAN field or both the first and second
VLAN field on the packet is the service delimiting tag.
When the MN5100 C Type receives an Ethernet frame, and the frame has a VLAN
tag, the MN5100 C Type will operate in either Raw or Tagged mode.
The Ethernet frames received by the MN5100 C Type have two scenarios:
1 The VLAN tag is service-delimiting. This means that the tag was placed on the
frame by some piece of service provider-operated equipment, and the tag is used
by the service provider to distinguish the traffic. For example, LANs from different
customers might be attached to the same service provider switch, which applies
VLAN tags to distinguish one customer's traffic from another's, and then forwards
the frames to the MN5100 C Type.
2 The VLAN tag is not service-delimiting. This means that the tag was placed in the
frame by a piece of customer equipment, and is not meaningful to the MN5100 C
Type.
Whether or not the tag is service-delimiting is determined by local configuration on
the MN5100 C Type.
If an Ethernet PW is operating in Raw mode, service-delimiting tags are never sent
over the PW. If a service-delimiting tag is present when the frame is received from the
attachment circuit by the MN5100 C Type, it must be stripped from the frame before
the frame is sent to the PW.
If an Ethernet PW is operating in Tagged mode, every frame sent on the PW must
have a service-delimiting VLAN tag. If the frame as received by MN5100 C Type from
the attachment circuit does not have service-delimiting VLAN tag, the MN5100 C
Type must pretend the frame with a dummy VLAN tag before sending the frame on
the PW. This is the default operating mode.
In both modes, non-service-delimiting tags are passed transparently across the PW
as part of the payload. It should be noted that a single Ethernet packet might contain
more than one tag. In any case, the MN5100 C Type only inspects the outermost tag
for the purpose of adapting the Ethernet frame to the PW.
MN5100 C Type can carry the Ethernet PW as a best-effort service over the MPLS
PSN. User priority PRI bits in VLAN tag are kept transparent between MN5100 C
Type devices, regardless of the QoS support of the MPLS PSN. MN5100 C Type
maps the PRI field of the VLAN tag header to the EXP fields of the MPLS label stack
to support QoS for MPLS PSN.
MN5100 C Type supports Ethernet OAM defined in IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah and
ITU-T Y.1731.
The MN5100 C Type Ethernet PW supports:
 Ethernet to PW Encapsulation:
- Raw mode or Tagged mode
- PW multiplex and demultiplex into single MPLS LSP
 PW QoS: 8 classes of service
 LPT (Link Pass Through)

SpectralWave MN5100 C Type System Overview


12 Chapter 1 System Description

MN5100 C Type in packet transport network supports Ethernet LPT via PW over
MPLS. The remote link failure can be detected by the downstream NE, and the
downstream NE will disable the corresponding output port to the downstream
router. So the downstream router can thus detect the failure, and the protection
switch is done properly.
The following lists the Ethernet data function features of the MN5100 C Type:
 Support Maximum Ethernet frame length 10240 Bytes and minimum Ethernet
frame length 64 Bytes

configuration and MAC address filtering.

T-MPLS/MPLS-TP Packet Switching Network


Introduction
IETF MPLS network has been modified by the ITU-T to be G.805 and G.809
compliant MPLS layer network. As telecom carriers like to have more control over
their transport network, MN5100 C Type is more focused on connection-oriented
circuits.
When a PW needs to traverse a common path, a Label Switched Path (LSP) should
be established in advance using management. At the ingress Label Switch Router
(LSR), each PW is assigned an LSP label and is transmitted to the downstream.
The T-MPLS/MPLS-TP transport network supports:
 E-LSP and L-LSP
 LSP setup/teardown
- Static manual configuration through network management system
 LSP QoS: 8 service classes
 T-MPLS/MPLS-TP OAM
 MPLS Trail Protection

MPLS QoS
MN5100 C Type supports Diff-Serv in T-MPLS/MPLS-TP network. At the ingress
node of the Diff-Serv T-MPLS/MPLS-TP network, the PWs would be mapped with an
EXP Code Point (CP) which corresponds to their different Behavior Aggregate (BA).
Up to 8 BAs can be supported by one LSP corresponding to one PW, and one PW
may order more than one BA. This is called EXP-Inferred-PSC LSPs (E-LSPs). The
System Overview SpectralWave MN5100 C Type
Chapter 1 System Description 13

Per-Hop Behavior (PHB) Scheduling Class (PSC) of a packet transported on this LSP
depends on the EXP field.
Alternatively, a single LSP can be established for a single PW with certain required
BA. With LSPs, the PSC is explicitly signaled at the time of label establishment, so
that after label establishment, LSR such as MN5100 can infer exclusively from the
label value the PSC to be applied to a labeled packet and infer the Drop Precedence
using the EXP field. At each transit node, the EXP/Label can then be used to select
the Per Hop Behavior (PHB) that determines the scheduling treatment and drop
probability for each packet in PW.
MN5100 C Type adopts manual provisioning to actually control and manage the LSP
setup/teardown.

MPLS OAM
According to the requirements and principles given in ITU-T Y.1710 and Y.1711,
MN5100 C Type supports a fully standard-compliant user-plane OAM. These OAMs
can be used for:
1 Efficiently detect, identify, and localize defects arising within the T-MPLS/MPLS-
TP layer networks;
2 Defect notification and defect handling, e.g. suppress alarm storms in nested
LSP scenarios;
3 Specification of the criteria for defining the availability (entry/exit) of LSPs and the
relationship of availability and network performance metrics;
4 Provide a trigger mechanism for protection switching when failures occur.
The supported OAM types are: Connectivity verification (including CV and FFD
messages), FDI and BDI, VCCV, LSP-Ping, LSP-Traceroute.
The OAM defect detection function is based on the periodic transmission of CV or
FFD packets from ingress to egress of an LSP. Each CV and FFD packet carries a
unique TTSI (Trail Termination Source Identifier), which is composed of the source
LSR identifier, and the LSP identifier.
On LSP establishment the LSP trail termination sink point should be configured with
the expected TTSI. Although it could be configured manually, ideally this should be
done automatically at LSP set-up time. TTSI (Trail Termination Source Identifier)
forms a network unique access point identifier constructed from the source LSR
identifier and the LSP identifier.

MPLS Trail Protection


MN5100 C Type supports the MPLS trail protection that includes two types:
unidirectional 1+1 and unidirectional 1:1.
Unidirectional 1+1 MPLS Trail Protection Switching
The 1+1 linear protection switching architecture is as shown in Figure 7. In the case
of unidirectional protection switching operation as described here, protection
switching is performed by the selector at the sink of the protection domain based on
purely local (i.e., at protection sink) information. The working traffic is permanently
bridged to working and protection LSPs at the source of the protection domain. To

SpectralWave MN5100 C Type System Overview

provide 1+1 protection service between two nodes in a MPLS network, a pair of LSPs
is established between them along disjoint paths.
If CV packets, FFD packets, or other continuity probe packets are used to detect
defects of working or protection LSP, they are inserted at the source of the protection
domain of both working and protection side and detected and extracted at the sink of
the protection domain. It is noted that they should be sent regardless of whether the
LSP is selected by the selector or not.

Note: Unidirectional 1+1 trail protection is supported on TDM services.

Unidirectional 1+1 trail protection can be either revertive or non-revertive.


Figure 7 Unidirectional 1+1 Protection Switching Architecture

For example, if a unidirectional defect (in the direction of transmission from PSL to
PML) occurs for the working LSP as in Figure 8, this defect will be detected at the
sink of the protection domain at PML and the selector at PML will switch to the
protection LSP.
Figure 8 Unidirectional 1+1 Protection Switching Architecture – Working LSP Fails

Unidirectional 1:1 MPLS Trail Protection Switching


The 1:1 linear protection switching architecture is as shown in Figure 9. In the case of
unidirectional protection switching operation as described here, protection switching
is performed by the selector at the source of the protection domain based on purely
local (i.e., at protection source) information. The working and protection traffic is
System Overview SpectralWave MN5100 C Type
Chapter 1 System Description 15

permanently merged at the sink of the protection domain. To provide 1:1 protection
service between two nodes in a MPLS network, a pair of LSPs is established
between them along disjoint paths.
Figure 9 Unidirectional 1:1 Protection Switching Architecture

If CV packets, FFD packets, or other continuity probe packets are used to detect
defects of working or protection LSP, they are inserted at the source of the protection
domain of both working and protection side and detected and extracted at the sink of
the protection domain. It is noted that they should be sent regardless of whether the
LSP is selected by the selector or not.
Unidirectional 1:1 trail protection is revertive.
For example, if a unidirectional defect (in the direction of transmission from PSL to
PML) occurs for the working LSP as in Figure 10, this defect is detected at the sink of
the protection domain at PML and then reported by BDI to the source of the
protection domain at PSL. The selector at PSL switches to the protection LSP on
reception of this report.
Figure 10 Unidirectional 1:1 Protection Switching Architecture – Working LSP Fails

Note: dTTSI_Mismerge cannot be protected by 1:1 protection switching.


(dTTSI_Mismerge: Trail Termination Source Identifier Mismerge defect is due to both
unexpected and expected TTSI observed in the incoming CV or FFD OAM packets.
This detects both mis-branching and unintended replication failures.)

When SF for working LSP is declared and user traffic is transmitted by protection LSP,
FDI packet and user traffic may be merged at the sink of the protection domain.
SpectralWave MN5100 C Type System Overview
16 Chapter 1 System Description

Nodes in downstream may receive FDI packets, CV or FFD packets and user traffic
at the same time. The same applies in the case where SF for protection LSP is
declared. One way to solve this problem is to use a merging selector. The operation
of the merging selector when a defect occurs on the working LSP is the following:
1 Receive FDI packets or detect a lower layer defect at the egress of the working
LSP.
2 Switch the merging selector at the egress (i.e., open the switch on working LSP
and close the switch on protection LSP).
3 Send BDI packets on return path (such as a return LSP).
4 Switch the selector at the ingress (i.e., working LSP to protection LSP and cut off
the extra traffic).

Protection & Restoration


The MN5100 C Type is designed for Carrier Class data transport product which has
99.999% reliability.
The MN5100 C Type supports the protection mechanism as below:
 1:1 LACP Protection
 MPLS Tunnel Protection:
- 1+1 linear protection switching for MPLS Tunnels.
- 1:1 linear protection for pre-configured MPLS Tunnels.

Frequency Synchronization
To satisfy the surging demands for bandwidths in both the core and access networks,
the packet switched technology is replacing the traditional circuit switching technology
for telecommunication networks.
Over the traditional circuit switched TDM networks, precise frequency synchronization
was used. The access platforms, such as wireless base stations and MSANs (multi
service access nodes); rely on synchronization provided over the network backhaul
connection, thus assuring high QoS for end users. The ability to provide carrier-class
synchronization over Ethernet to the remote wireless base stations and access
platform is the key to Ethernet backhaul in telecom networks.
Considering the shifting from circuit switched to packet switched network will last for
some time, the MN5100 C Type supports synchronous Ethernet.

Synchronous Ethernet
MN5100 C Type supports GE/FE Synchronous Ethernet feature, this clock complies
with ITU-T Recommendation G.8262.
Synchronous Ethernet extracts the clock signal from Ethernet link bit stream. A highly
precise timing signal is injected into the incoming Ethernet port, and extracts the clock
signal from the receiving port in order to achieve accurate timing performance.

System Overview SpectralWave MN5100 C Type


Chapter 1 System Description 17

Figure 11 Synchronous Ethernet

As shown in Figure 11, a reference timing signal is injected into the Ethernet physical
layer (Node A) through an external clock port. This signal is extracted and processed
via a synchronization function before injecting timing onto the Ethernet bit stream. In
such cases the synchronization function within this Ethernet must be able to recover
synchronization “line timing” in Node B from the incoming bit stream. During this
process the precision of the timing signal will be not affected to keep the source
synchronized.
Synchronous Ethernet has the same timing strategy with the SDH Network; they all
extract the timing signal from the physical layer. In the current Ethernet technology,
the service is asynchronous. In synchronous Ethernet, existing Ethernet services will
continue to be mapped into and out of the Ethernet physical layer at the appropriate
rates as generated by the service clocks.
SSM Mode
MN5100 C Type supports the synchronous status message (SSM) management
function for Synchronous Ethernet defined in ITU-T G.8264. This function prevents
the formation of timing loop in the system during clock switching. When the locked
synchronous timing signal degrades, the SSM management function can also enable
the downstream nodes to switch to another input clock source or holdover mode
without waiting for the synchronous timing signal to exceed the degradation threshold.
This serves to improve the synchronization quality of the entire network. In addition,
the SSM management function can simplify synchronous network planning and
design.
The MN5100 C Type timing system can work in locked mode, holdover mode or free-
run mode. In locked mode, the aggregation clock, tributary clock and external
synchronization source can be selected as the reference clock source. The timing
reference can be selected automatically or manually. The MN5100 C Type supports
selection of clock source with various priority levels and the SSM to ensure the
network timing system’s reliability.

Time Synchronization
MN5100 C Type supports IEEE 1588V2 protocol to achieve the real-time
synchronization.

IEEE 1588
The IEEE 1588 standard is known as "Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for
Networked Measurement and Control Systems" or "PTP" for short. Precision Time
Protocol (PTP) defines a procedure allowing many spatially distributed real-time
clocks to be synchronized through a "package-compatible" network (normally
Ethernet). The technology behind the IEEE 1588 standard was used for distributed
SpectralWave MN5100 C Type System Overview
18 Chapter 1 System Description

measuring and control tasks. The challenge was to synchronize networked


measuring devices with each other in terms of time so that they are able to record
measured values and provide them with a precise system time stamp. Based on this
time stamp, the measured values can then be correlated with each other.
Synchronization principle of IEEE 1588
In Ethernet systems, unpredictable collisions due to the CSMA/CD procedure may
lead to time packages being delayed or disappearing completely. For this reason,
IEEE 1588 defines a special "clock synchronization" procedure.
Figure 12 Synchronization principle of IEEE 1588

First, one node (IEEE 1588 master clock) transmits a "Sync" telegram, which contains
the estimated transmission time. The exact transmission time is captured by a clock
and transmitted in a second "Follow Up" message. Based on the first and second
telegram and by means of its own clock, the receiver can now calculate the time
difference between its clock and the master clock. To achieve the best possible
results, the IEEE 1588 time stamps should be generated in hardware or as close as
possible to the hardware.
The telegram propagation time is determined cyclically in a second transmission
process between the slave and the master ("delay" telegrams). The slave can then
correct its clock and adapt it to the current bus propagation time.
Configuration of an IEEE 1588 Network
An IEEE 1588 network configures and segments itself automatically. For this, each
node uses the "best master clock" algorithm (BMC) in order to determine the best
clock in the segment. Every PTP clock stores its features within a specified dataset.
These features are transmitted to other nodes within its "Sync" telegrams. Based on
this, other nodes are able to synchronize their datasets with the features of the actual
master and can adjust their clocks accordingly. Due to the cyclic running of the BMC,
nodes can also be connected or removed during propagation time (hot plugging).

Ethernet OAM
Ethernet OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance) is used to monitor the
status of the network and the problems arousing in the network during operation. It
works in digital link layer, reports the status of the network by exchanging the
OAMPDU (OAM Protocol Data Units) between devices, which helps in making the
management of the network more effective. MN5100 C Type supports 802.1ag,

Network Management
4 4

Network management system SpectralWave MN9200 (hereinafter referred to as


MN9200) is used to perform the operation, administration and maintenance functions
of the MN5100 C Type. In addition, the LCT is also supported.
This chapter introduces network management system of MN5100 C Type, contains
the following topics:
 Management System Overview on page 41
 Topology Management on page 42
 Fault Management on page 44
 Performance Monitoring on page 45
 Security Management on page 45
 Service Management on page 46
 Maintenance Management on page 47

Management System Overview


The MN5100 C Type provides physical interface for NMS and LCT to access NE. The
NEs are interconnected with GE interface, and the control and management packets
are forwarded to other NEs that are in the same MN5100 C Type network domain.
The MN5100 C Type system uses in-band control and management channel within
GE uplink to carry the control and management information between the NMS and
NE, so that the NMS can manage all NEs remotely via the Gateway.

Network Element Management Functions


MN9200 implements the FCAPS functions of the element management layer to
ensure the proper management of the services provided by each node and the
network layer functionality, such as end-to-end path management and resources
management. The element management system and subnet management system
are integrated seamlessly together to provide complete services to the users.
Following sections will describe the management functions and behaviors of the
features provided by the MN9200 on element management and subnet management
levels.

LCT
LCT directly controls a MN5100 C Type node through an Ethernet port. It can be
installed in a desktop PC or a notebook PC for easy onsite maintenance. The
application layer provides the user with a GUI operating environment. Only one LCT
control is allowed for a node each time. The LCT can only control one node at one
time. Using LCT gives total control of the node.

SpectralWave MN5100 C Type System Overview


42 Chapter 4 Network Management

LCT can support local maintenance, gateway proxy and remote maintenance. The
remote maintenance can be implemented via a gateway proxy or proxy dial-up (refer
to Figure 40 below). The LCT must connect and configure the gateway before the
LCT proxy gateway. After finish the maintenance for the target NE, connect to
gateway NE and delete the appropriate gateway configuration.
Figure 40 LCT Network Topology

Chapter 4 Network Management 43

Physical Topology Discovery


The MN9200 provides the function of network topology query and discovery. After the
network link connection is done, or the network topology has been changed, the
network management system can perform network topology discovery and update.
The user can search for and discover all MN5100 C Type and MN5200/MN5300
nodes in one of the following manners:
1 Discover nodes in a network:
- The user specifies the Start IP address and End IP address for the search
range.
- MN9200 discovers all NE nodes within the range.
2 Discover neighbors:
- The user chooses one of the existing MN5100 C Type or MN5200/MN5300
nodes, or enters a valid IP address.
- MN9200 discovers all NE nodes that connect with the specified node.
3 After the discovery process is complete:
- MN9200 lists all discovered NE nodes in a table format.
- The user can create an NE node object in MN9200 for each discovered item.

Physical Topology View


1 All common topology map management capabilities are available to the physical
topology view.
2 MN9200 follows the principles below to display the physical topology view:
- Node: NE or groups
- Line: a set of digital links between two nodes
3 MN9200 generates a physical topology view based on the created NEs/Groups
and links.
4 Different icons are used for different types of nodes.
5 Colored nodes are used to represent the highest severity level of the current
alarm of the NE/Groups.
6 Small colored blocks on lines are used to represent the highest severity level of
the current alarm of the set of digital links the line represents.
7 MN9200 updates the color of a node/link in real time according to received
alarms.
8 MN9200 provides the following shortcut menu for a line in a topology view:
- Views the Current Alarm list for the selected line
- Views the History Alarm list for the selected line
- Lists digital links that the line represents
9 MN9200 provides the following shortcut menu for an NE node in a topology view:
- Views the Current Alarm list for the selected node

In-service Network Topology Changing


The MN5100 C Type supports in-service network topology changing via the wizard
which is provided in the network management system. Each change just can be
performed on one fiber connection of the existing network.
1 The carried service on the fiber which will be changed is switched over to the
protection path by the forced switching operation.
2 This fiber is disconnected, and connected to a new inserted node or another
existing node.
3 The network management system will perform network topology discovery and
update.
4 The new inserted node or the existing node which is fiber re-connected is
configured to carry the pass-through service, and the configuration is executed
on this node.
5 It is an option whether the service on protection path is switched back to previous
working path or not.
6 Once one change is done, another change can be performed as above
procedure until all planned network topology changes are finished.

Fault Management
Alarm surveillance involves detection and report of the related events/conditions that
have occurred in the network element. Alarms are generated automatically by the
events and conditions detected within the NE and input signals.
The MN5100 C Type also provides three inputs for external alarm. All alarms and
external alarms are reported to MN9200 and LCT automatically. There are 5 severity
levels of the alarms in the MN5100 C Type. They are Critical, Major, Minor, Warning
and Indeterminate. The alarm and its level can be reflected through the alarm
indicator on the chassis. After the alarm is sent to the network management system
(NMS), the system can automatically analyze the detailed description of the alarm
and determine the probable cause to assist in troubleshooting.

Port Mode
In order to prevent alarms from being raised and failures being reported during trail
provisioning, The MN5100 C Type supports the setting of Port Mode parameter via
MN9200 or LCT. The port mode parameter includes MON (monitored, enable fault
declaration), and NMON (not monitored, disable fault declaration).
If there is not any activated service on a port, to suppress reporting alarms related
with the port, the operator can set the port administrative state to Down.

Alarm Profile Configuration


Alarm profile includes information about whether report to the EMS and the severity
setting of each type of alarm, each Node can support one alarm profile, and the EMS
can save different alarm profiles as templates to be set for different nodes.
System Overview SpectralWave MN5100 C Type
Chapter 4 Network Management 45

The MN5100 C Type provides alarm suppression functionality that prevents the
superfluous generation of alarms by simply discarding them, or by aggregating them
together, thereby greatly reducing the number of notification emitted.

Performance Monitoring
The performance monitoring function collects the NE performance primitive data and
status of the equipment by continuously tracking system, network and service
activities in order to report and evaluate the performance of the network and NE.

Performance Data
The MN5100 C Type saves the current performance data in 15-minute mode or 24-
hour mode.

Performance Threshold
For many Ethernet performance parameters, performance parameter thresholds can
be set and queried. For Ethernet performance parameters, the single-threshold model
(upper or lower threshold) is used. In case of performance threshold crossing, the
system will report a performance threshold crossing alert event or generate the
relevant alarm to MN9200 and LCT.

Performance Data Reporting and Collection


EMS can collect history performance data from managed nodes automatically under
the user’s collecting policy, and all of this history performance data will save to the
database so that the operator can perform a trends analysis of historical performance
data.

Security Management
Most security management functions are performed in MN9200 and LCT. The
MN5100 C Type provides login validation, setting and getting of user ID and privilege
level, and password setting to support the functions provided by MN9200 and LCT.
The MN5100 C Type provides access control to every kind of access port.
Any unauthorized access will be denied. Authorization level management is
employed to manage the access user and decide the user’s access rights.

SpectralWave MN5100 C Type System Overview


46 Chapter 4 Network Management

Service Management
NMS supports circuit/service configuration and management functions that enable
end-to-end configuration with different service levels.

Service Configuration Hierarchy


In the MN5100 C Type system, the LSP should be established first. This LSP is
based on physical link and with committed bandwidth parameter. Next, the PW can
be established, and an LSP should be selected to contain this PW. Each LSP can
contain one or multiple PWs. The services, such as Ethernet and E1, can be setup in
the system and attached to a PW. One PW can attach one or multiple services, and
provides the same QoS and guaranteed bandwidth for these services.

LSP Management
The LSP is used to manage the link bandwidth in the MN5100 C Type system. The
LSP is established to do network resource planning via NMS. During the creation and
configuration of the LSP, the parameters of this LSP can be configured, such as the
bandwidth, CoS priority and protection. The LSPs with different CoS priority are
forwarded with a different priority policy on the network nodes. The EMS can in-
service modify the routing configuration.
When creating the LSP with protection path, the physical link paths are created for
both working path and protection path. Two options can be selected to use the
bandwidth of protection path. One is reserved protection bandwidth, another one is
shared protection bandwidth. When reserved protection bandwidth is selected, the
protection path is reserved and can not be configured and used by other services.
When shared protection bandwidth is selected, the protection bandwidth can be
shared and used by other services, for example, low priority services. Once the
failure occurs on the working path, the traffic of working path will be switched to the
protection path, and the existing low priority traffic of protection path will be dropped.

PW Management
In the MN5100 C Type system, the end-to-end PW is established to carry the
attached service. Each PW has it own CIR and EIR bandwidth parameters, and its
EXP can be mapped based on the QoS parameters of the attached service. One LSP
can handle multiple PWs, and the CIR bandwidth of each PW can be guaranteed by
the bandwidth parameters of this LSP, the EIR bandwidth of all PWs are also limited
by the bandwidth resource of this LSP. One PW can go through multiple LSPs. For
the end-to-end configuration of PW in the MN5100 C Type, only the ingress node and
egress node need to perform PW configuration, other nodes just need to perform LSP
tunnel configurations.
The MN5100 C Type also supports multi-segment configuration. When the MN5100
C Type interconnects with core network or third part equipment, the PW and LSP can
be terminated via NMS, and the PW can be mapped and converted based on the
planning of other networks. Thus, the service can be planned and managed
independently between different network domains.

Chapter 4 Network Management 47

Service Configuration
The MN5100 C Type supports E1 and Ethernet service. Once a PW is created, the
service can be attached to this PW. After the services of two ends are attached to PW,
the end-to-end service configuration is done.

Maintenance Management
Software Upgrade
The software and FPGA file of MN5100 C Type can be upgraded remotely by the
network management system. The upgrading file and its checkout data is copied to a
special folder in the EMS server. After the checkout data is verified, the upgrade file is
transferred to target NE by FTP session. The operator can activate the module in the
upgrade list one by one. The module will reboot and load the new software. For the
module with protection, it should be in standby status before the active operation.
Once the software is loaded and the module is in a running status, the operator can
confirm the upgrading of this module, and the new software will be saved in the NE.
During the software upgrade for the module, the operator can abort this upgrade
operation and return to the previous software before the confirmation.

Protection Management
The MN5100 C Type and network management system provide switch commands as
the following:
 Clear: The previous switching command is revoked.
 Forced Switch: A user-initiated switch, similar to a manual switch except that the
switch occurs regardless of the condition of the protection card (unless the
protection card is fulfilling a higher priority request).
 Lockout of Protection: The lockout of protection request can only be issued for
the protection card. After successful execution of this request, the protection card
will cease to provide protection for the working card.
 Manual Switch: A user-initiated switch. This switch will be performed unless the
protection card is already actively protecting another card or it is faulty.

Trace and Ping Topology Discovery


LSP Ping
LSP Ping is an in-band on-demand mechanism to verify the status of an MPLS tunnel.
An LSP can fail because of mis-configurations such as MPLS being disabled, having
mismatched labels, misrouting into the wrong tunnel or other software/hardware
failures.
LSP Ping sends an echo request to a target Label Switch Router (LSR) using MPLS
addressing. The destination IP address of the echo request packet is defined as
127.0.0.0/8 to prevent the IP packet from being routed to its destination. If reached,
the destination LSR sends an echo reply back to the originator of the MPLS echo
request. The LSP Ping will be supported in VCCV.

LSP Traceroute
LSP Traceroute is used to determine the hop-by-hop path and destination of an LSP.
Like LSP ping, it is an in-band on-demand MPLS OAM utility. It also can be used to
detect MTU mis-configuration between LSRs.
LSP Traceroute also uses an MPLS echo request/reply mechanism. However, with
LSP Traceroute, all LSRs along the path up to and including the destination LSR
reply to the echo request. This technique allows the operator to identify and
distinguish LSRs along a path.

Port Mirroring
The MN5100 C Type system supports local Port Mirroring. It can be set and operated
via the network management system.
