TMN description

1350OMS 9.1 integrates the current products into a single operational framework, keeping network features on a subnetwork basis, whilst setting a first set of common platform-wide functions.

The 1350OMS is decomposed into a set of "applications", each of which is license controlled and separately purchasable. The applications are:

- 1350OMS-EML

- 1350OMS-SDH

- 1350OMS-PKT

- 1350OMS-SONET

- 1350OMS-WDM

This architecture then decomposes the applications into "subsystems".

Ethernet physical port modification

To modify one Ethernet physical port:1) Select a port in the list2) Actions Physical Ports Modify Ethernet Physical Port

3) Modify the Manager Control4) Click Ok to confirm

N.B: The Manager Control of the port can be modified only after having assigned the port to a Domain

The Manager Control is a PKT application local state of the port:

When Enabled the port is under the control of the Ethernet Service Traffic Management, that can

use it as Ethernet segment extremity. Its usage state is NotMeaningful in the Construction domain,

but is managed in a significant way by Ethernet traffic management.

The state of this attribute is automatically set to Enabled when the port is assigned to a Domain.

When Disabled the port is fully controlled by Construction domain that can use it as Extremity of

an internal Link over Cable (Ethernet or MPLS or T-MPLS as Supported Layer). Its usage state is

managed in the Constructor domain.

Disabled is the default attribute when the NE or the ENE is created.



3JK Issue 1.00



2 2 24


Assign port to a Domain

Each Ethernet physical port (not involved in a intra-domain link) can be assigned to a Domain

To assign a specific port to a Domain :

1) Select a port into the Ethernet physical port list

2) Actions Physical ports Assign Resources to Domain



The assignment to domain is not done on NE base: the granularity is per-port, taking into account the

limitation of some NE types to have all ports assigned to a domain type in one domain instance only

(I.e. 1850TSS)

The assignment of a port to a Domain make the port available, as Edge Port, in the Service

environment

The check to allow to move a port from one domain to another domain is based on the bandwidth

allocated for service



3JK Issue 1.00



2 2 25


Egress Shaping rate configuration

The egress shaping rate is the maximum bandwidth limiting the peak rate of the egressing traffic

The operator is allowed to limit the egress throughput of one active Physical interface, by tuning the egress shaping rate

To configure a specific Egress rate on a port: :

1) Select a port into the Ethernet physical port list

2) Actions Physical ports Configure Egress Shaping rate

Assign the specific value and click on Apply

The egress shaping is applied to the port when it is used as UNI port in case of Provider Bridge or T-MPLS

UNI interface.

It is possible to modify the Egress Shaping for activated or not activated ports.

ENE Definition

An External Network Element represents:

a Customer Edge Equipment (Customer Edge)(Customer Edge)

an Equipment into the network visible but not managed by the PKT (Inner (Inner Equipment) Equipment)

An External Operator Network connected through IWI (Inter Working Interface) (PVLAN Network)(PVLAN Network)

Customer Customer EdgeEdge

PVLAN NetworkPVLAN NetworkInnerInner EquipmentEquipment

The External Network Element management allows to define inside PKT, NEs or Networks or Customer

Edges in order to allow the operator to have a complete network view.

In a topology, some ENEs can be added to represent a NE or a set of NEs, which are internal to the

managed network but not directly administrated by the PKT: this is the role of the Inner Equipment, connected through NNI interfaces.

An ENE can be used to represent Customer Edge Device; this object is included only in order to improve

the USM representation: this is the role of the Customer Edge, connected through UNI interfaces.

An ENE can be added to represent different Operator Networks: this is the role of the PVLAN Network, connected through IWI Interfaces.

The Inner and the PVLAN External Network Elements can be used as Edge Node of the Ethernet Service,

while a Customer External Network Element is always outside of the Ethernet Service management.

3 Link Aggregation (LAG) management



3JK Issue 1.00



2 2 46


Introduction

Link Aggregation is a method for aggregating N parallel instances of full duplex point-to-point links, operating at the same data rate (FE, GBE, 10GBE), into a single logical link. Specifically, a Link Aggregation Group is defined, such that a MAC client can treat this group as it were a single link. (max N=16)

Constraints:

All involved ports must work at the same rate.

All involved ports must have the same configurations, regarding Auto Negotiation and Flow Control.

All aggregated links must be point-to-point (Multicast is not allowed).

All involved interfaces must work in full-duplex modality.

Actor and Partner ports (local and far sides) must be of the same type.



3JK Issue 1.00



2 2 47


LAG main target

The main goals of Link Aggregation are:

Increased Link Capacity: the performance is improved because the capacity of an aggregated link is higher than that one provided by a single physical link.

High Link Availability: the loss of a link within an aggregation group reduces the available capacity but the connection is maintained and the data flow is not interrupted.

Statistical distribution of frames across the links (relying on hashing key)



3JK Issue 1.00



2 2 48


Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

Link Aggregation management in the network is based upon the communication, between the aggregate partner equipments, of LACPmessages (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). The LACP packets transport information about set-up, aggregation capability, links failures, automatic reconfiguration after failure, etc.

The Link Aggregation control messaging is managed by means of special control frames LACPDU (Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Unit), periodically sent, in band, by the nodes using the Link Aggregation function.

Frame distribution (Hash Key)

All the packets belonging to the same conversation are transported over the same link.

More conversations can be transported on the same link.

A fair load-balancing is not guaranteed, since conversations and packets can not be fragmented.

The packets distribution over the constituting links is based upon classification of the following masks:

1.

2. + MPLS Labels

3. + MPLS Labels +

4. + MPLS Labels + ] +

5. + MPLS Labels + ] + +

Port Priority = 1,2,3

A priority value is associated to each port of the bundle; lower values mean higher priority.

A port of the group is classified, by the system, in Active or Stand-by state, depending from the

port-priority values and from the LAG-size. E.g.: if port-rate=1Gb/s, LAG-size=5, number of ports=7,

then 2 ports (those ones having lower priorities) are classified as stand-by by the system.

In case of a protected traffic, if a link failure occurs, the traffic of the failed link will be switched to

the stand-by port having a priority value just lower than the failed one.

If the traffic is not protected, i.e. no stand-by ports are configured, then the traffic of the failed link

will be redistributed to all ports, if bandwidth is available. In this case frames discarding may occur.

Link Aggregation Group creation

LAG size: is the number of physical Ports that belong to the LAG Port. It is possible to add a number of ports different from the LAG size:

If number of ports is less than the lag size: the LAG is in a degraded state.

If number of ports is greater than the lag size: the exceeding ports are in a stand-by status. They

provide protection to the working ports according to port priority.

Client Type: ETS or ETB

LACP: can be set at creation only

Hash Key: frame distribution can be modified even when LAG is active

Port Priority: priority is used to select active/stand-by physical ports.

MPLS/T-MPLS layer for flow ident.

Transport Link = infrastructure(TDM or WDM or Cable) used by MPLS/T-MPLS or Ethernet layers

The three main concepts are:

Ethernet Services:

An Ethernet service connect two or more PEs, each associated to a CE

It belongs to a given Customer; it is composed of one or more Ethernet Virtual Connections

The Ethernet services are implemented directly over SDH or SONET network layer (GFP or LAPS) or

over an intermediate MPLS or T_MPLS network layer or over an intermediate RPR like ring or

directly over a cable. An Ethernet service can use every type of combination of these network

support layers.

Ethernet Virtual Connections:

An Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) is an Ethernet end to end connection having a specified

topology (point to point, point to multi-point and multi-point to multi-point) and a packet

forwarding rules (unicast, multicast, broadcast).

One or more Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) form an Ethernet service.

Each unidirectional end to end connection belonging to an EVC is called Ethernet Segment: a point

to point EVC is formed by two unidirectional Ethernet segments. This is the elementary connection

managed by 1354 BM Ethernet.

Ethernet segments:

An Ethernet segment has associated a quality of service value (Guaranteed, Best Effort,

Regulated), the bandwidth and the forwarding rules based on VLAN management.
