• The inter-ring services are hard to be scheduled, because the SDH transmission network
inter-ring node becomes the bottleneck of scheduling the services.
• The scalability of SDH network is poor.
• In the SDH/SONET ring structure, the bandwidth and efficiency
are low.
• Real-time management cannot be achieved. Network topology
changes cannot be displayed in the network management system
in real time.
Why We Need ASON
Data
Data Voice
Voice
• With the rapid development of broadband data services and private-line lease
services, the network capacity is increasing and the scheduling pressure is
becoming heavy. As a result, automatic scheduling is required.
• Data service burst requires that the bandwidth be applied automatically and
dynamically. The traditional half-static configuration mode cannot meet the
requirements.
• The carrier requires reducing the OPEX and provides value-added services,
because service increase does not bring proper profits.
Why We Need ASON
 Expansibility of network  Bursting data service

 Rapid service supply  Reduction of operation cost

Automatically Switched Optical Network

Definition: With the distributed (or partial distributed) control plane
that provides the function of automatically discovering and
dynamically setting up a connection, you can achieve a dynamic,
signaling-based, and policy-driven network based on the OTN or
SDH network.

What Are the Solutions MobileComm Professionals, Inc.
Provided by the ASON?

• The ASON provides the method of configuring and modifying services quickly and
conveniently. Moreover, it overcomes the difficulties of scheduling inter-ring services,
and removes the bottleneck of scheduling services on an inter-ring node.
• The flexible mesh network improves the service survivability and network scalability.
Therefore, it solves the problem of poor scalability of the traditional network.
• The network resource usage reaches more than 50%. Therefore, it solves the
problems of low bandwidth usage and efficiency in the SDH/SONET ring network.
• Real-time network management solves the problems of failing to manage the
traditional network in real time, and failing to display the network topology changes in
the network management system.
Data service

Three Connections
• SC:
– Switched connection (SC) is a service connection requested by a
terminal user (router, for example) and then created in the ASON
control plane through signaling. Currently, it is not supported.
• PC:
– Permanent connection (PC) is a service connection calculated
beforehand and then created through the NM by issuing a command
to NE.
• SPC:
– Soft permanent connection (SPC) between the user and the
transmission network is configured directly by the NM. However, the
connection within the transmission network is requested by the NM
and then created by the NE’s control plane through signaling.

 TE Link Parameter Correlation
Three links
• Control link
– A control link is automatically discovered and maintained by the open shortest
path first (OSPF). Each ASON NE floods its control links to the entire network.
In this case, each NE can get the information about the control links in the
entire network. Therefore, each NE can get the topology of the global control
plane.
• Data link
– Data links are classified into working links, protected links, and unprotected
links. The network management system does not present the concept of data
link. A member like displayed in the network management system is a data
link.
• TE link
– TE link stands for traffic engineering link. An ASON NE uses the TE link to
transmit its information (for example, bandwidth) to other ASON NEs in the
network. thus providing data for route computation. A fiber may contain
multiple TE links.
The LMP protocol describes the discovery and
management of control channels.

ConfigAck/ConfigNack
 A control channel transmits information through in-band (for example, through bytes
D4-D12) mode or through out-band (for example, through Ethernet) mode.
 The discovery and management functions of control channels are implemented by
exchanging the Config messages and executing the keep-alive mechanism (by the
Hello protocol).
Connectivity check of a data link between adjacent nodes can be

conducted only after an available control channel is set up.
The LMP protocol describes the
connectivity check of data links.
• Check preparation:
– After transmitting the BeginVerify message, Begin Verify
node A successfully receives the
BeginVerifyAck message.
Begin VerifyAck
• Check process: Test
– Node A periodically transmits the Test
message over the data link till it receives the TestStatusSuccess
teststatussuccess or teststatufailure
message over the control channel. TestStatusAck
• Check end: ... Check each

node A waits for the EndVerifyAck message, End Verify
and has received it. Alternatively, node A
times out to receive the EndVerifyACK End VerifyAck
message. In this case, the check process
ends. Node A Node B
After successfully checking the connectivity of data links, you can check
the consistency of TE link attributes.
The LMP protocol describes the
consistency check of TE link attributes.

 The consistency check function is used to check whether the interface mapping relation dynamically
discovered or manually configured is consistent between two nodes.
 If the interface mapping relation is consistent, the TE link changes to the UP status. In this case, the
ASON routing module is informed that the TE link can be used to create an ASON service.
As the source of the TE LSA at the service plane on the routing module,
a TE link is the prerequisite of creating the topology at the service plane.

Working Process
Contents
• ASON Overview
Applications
Protection and Restoration MobileComm Professionals, Inc.
• Protection:
– The protection function refers to protection switching here. Protection
switching means that some network resources are particularly reserved for
service protection before a fault occurs. After a fault occurs, the service traffic
is switched from the faulty path to the protection path.
• Restoration:
– The restoration function refers to rerouting here. Rerouting is a method for
restoring a service. When an LSP is interrupted, the ingress node of the LSP
queries the optimal LSP route to restore a service. The signaling is
transmitted to the download nodes◆ hop by hop to request for reserving
resources and setting up a cross-connection. The egress node returns
signaling to the upstream nodes hop by hop. Finally, a new LSP is set up.
Differences:
◆ For the protection function, the services are restored
rapidly, and the protection resources need to be
reserved. The resources are of low usage.
◆ For the restoration function, the services are restored
slowly, but the network resources are of high usage.
If no idle resources exist in the network, the services
cannot be restored.
Protection and Restoration

SNCP

services MSP (1+1 linear MSP access, two-fiber MSP ring,
four-fiber MSP ring)
• Rerouting
Concept: Rerouting is a key feature of a service. When a bottom-
layer transmission path fails, the service is interrupted. Then a
request for re-setting up a route is transmitted to the control plane.
After receiving the request, the control plane queries another route
and allocates resources to set up a new route. After a route is set
up successfully, the old route is deleted from the ingress node.
Rerouting
• Trigger Conditions
– Section-layer alarms: R_LOS, R_LOF, MS_AIS, MS_RDI,
B2_SD and B2_OVER
– Path alarm: AU_AIS
– MSP switching failure
Analysis needs to be conducted according to the services of
different levels.
• Lock-related concepts
– Rerouting lock: Sometimes, the services do not need to be
rerouted in the case of LSP failure. In this case, you need to
set the rerouting lock function. After the rerouting function is
locked, a service is not rerouted if the LSP fails.
• Rerouting Priority
– Options are: High, low.
Five Types of SLA Services MobileComm Professionals, Inc.
• The ASON can provide services of different SLAs based on the
requirements of the customers. SLA stands for Service Level Agreement. It
divides the services into multiple levels in view of service protection.

• Provide the maximum protection for the services at the

access side. The services can be protected if the service
access node is powered off or down.
SRLG
• SRLG stands for Shared Risk Link Group. Generally, a
fiber in the same cable shares the same risk. That is,
if a cable is cut, all the fibers in the cable are cut. An
ASON service is not rerouted to the link that has the
same risk. Therefore, you need to correctly set the
SRLG for the link that has the same risk to ensure
that the two LSPs of the diamond service are not in
the same cable. Alternatively, the LSP of the rerouted
ASON service is not the link that has the same risk
with the faulty link.
Network Traffic Equilibrium

• The CSPF algorithm is used to compute the optimal route in the ASON
network. When multiple LSPs exist between two nodes, possibly, several
LSPs share the same route. This problem is avoided by the network
traffic equilibrium function.

Resource Reservation
• For an ASON NE, the NE software and ASON software respectively
manages its own timeslots. The ASON software manages the
timeslots in which ASON services are created. These timeslots
cannot be used for the NE software to create SDH services.
Concept:
Resource reservation means that commands are used to
reserve all or partial timeslots for the NE software to create SDH
services. Before being unreserved, these ASON software
cannot be used.
Service Path Optimization

ASON NE
Link of which the capacity is expanded
• Online service optimization and adjustment: The carrier can

optimize the network topology, operate and maintain the User equipment
service conveniently.
• Smoothly change the service path. You can optimize the
service paths without interrupting the services.
Service Path Restoration

• Function Description
– When fibers are cut and restored for many times, the current service path may be
different from the original one. In this case, the service path restoration function can
be implemented to restore all or some of the services to the original paths.
– A service path can be saved as an original path at any time according to
requirements.
– Currently, a path can be restored at the fiber level only. Therefore, a path at the
timeslot level cannot be restored.
• Implementation Principle
– The original service paths are stored in the ASON software. When you click the
Global Service Restoration button, the network management system delivers the
service indexes to the ASON module one by one. Then the ASON software takes an
original path as the specified path to optimize the services one by one.
• Restoration Mode
– Revertive mode: After being rerouted, a service returns to the original route after
some wait-for-restoration time if the original route is normal.
– Non-revertive mode: After being rerouted, a service does not return to the original
route no matter the working route is normal or not.
– Networkwide service path restoration: Press to restore the service path.

10G Ring Network Analysis of the Provincial Trunk of China
Telecom Hainan Branch
• For the traditional ring network scheme, bottlenecks exist on the

kernel nodes: Sanya and Haikou.
– At the early stage, no problems occur in the 155M service. For
the GE services in the future, 10 VC4s cannot meet the
requirements. The total bandwidth of the 155M and GE
services is 136 VC4s at the two egress interfaces. At most
2x64=126 VC4s can be provided for the current configuration
of the two 10G rings. Therefore, about 10 VC4 services
cannot be satisfied in the current 10G ring network.
• In the ASON network, you do not need to reserve 50% bandwidth
in each direction. In the four optical directions, 10x3/4x4 =30G =
192VC4s can be transmitted.
Questions:
• Question 1: What are the most important
advantages of the ASON network for the
services according to the case analysis?
• Question 2: What are the structure

differences between the ASON network
and the SDH network?
