Carrier Ethernet Defined
The MEF has defined Carrier Ethernet asA ubiquitous, standardized,carrier-class Service and Network defined by five attributes that distinguish it from familiar LAN based Ethernet
![Page 6: Carrier Ethernet Services Overview Reference Presentation R03 2011-11-15](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042519/55cf9bd3550346d033a78665/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

What is Carrier Ethernet?
• Question:– “Is it a service, a network, or a technology?”
• Answer for an end-user– It’s a Service defined by 5 attributes
• Answer for a service provider – It’s a set of certified network elements that
connect to transport the services offered to the customer
– It’s a platform for value added services– A standardized service for all users

“In a Carrier Ethernet network, data is transported across Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Multipoint Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) according to the attributes and definitions of the E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree services”

ETH Layer
TRAN Layer
Data moves from UNI to UNI across "the network" with a layered architecture. When traffic moves between ETH domains is does so at the TRAN layer. This allows Carrier Ethernet traffic to be agnostic to the networks that it traverses.

MEF Carrier Ethernet Terminology
• The User Network Interface (UNI)– The UNI is always provided by the Service Provider– The UNI in a Carrier Ethernet Network is a physical Ethernet Interface at operating
speeds 10Mbs, 100Mbps, 1Gbps or 10Gbps
• Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC)– Service container– Connects two or more subscriber sites (UNI’s)– An association of two or more UNIs – Prevents data transfer between sites that are not part of the same
EVC– Three types of EVCs
• Point-to-Point• Multipoint-to-Multipoint• Rooted Multipoint
– Can be bundled or multiplexed on the same UNI– Defined in MEF 10.2 technical specification
![Page 10: Carrier Ethernet Services Overview Reference Presentation R03 2011-11-15](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042519/55cf9bd3550346d033a78665/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Carrier Ethernet Terminology
• UNI Type I– A UNI compliant with MEF 13– Manually Configurable
• UNI Type II– Supports E-Tree– Support service OAM, link protection – Automatically Configurable via E-LMI – Manageable via OAM
• Network to Network Interface (NNI)– Network to Network Interface between distinct MEN operated by
one or more carriers– An active project of the MEF
• Metro Ethernet Network (MEN)– An Ethernet transport network connecting user end-points
(Expanded to Access and Global networks in addition to the original Metro Network meaning)

Service Attributes
• EVC Service Attributes (Defined in MEF 10.2)– Fundamentals of enabling the value of Carrier Ethernet:
• Virtual Connections• Bandwidth profiles• Class of Service Identification
– Service Performance• Frame Delay (Latency)• Inter Frame Delay Variation • Frame Loss Ratio• Availability
• UNI Service Attributes– Details regarding the UNI including:
• Physical interface capabilities• Service multiplexing capability• C-VLAN bundling capability
![Page 18: Carrier Ethernet Services Overview Reference Presentation R03 2011-11-15](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042519/55cf9bd3550346d033a78665/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Bandwidth Profiles & Traffic Management (1)
Bandwidth Profiles per EVC & per Class of Service Governed by 6 Parameters– CIR (Committed Information Rate)
• CIR defines assured bandwidth• Assured via bandwidth reservation, traffic engineering
– EIR (Excess Information Rate)• EIR bandwidth is considered ‘excess’• EIR improves the network’s Goodput • Traffic dropped at congestion points in the network
– CBS/EBS (Committed/Excess Burst Size in bytes)• Higher burst size results in improved performance
Color Mode (“Color Aware” or “Color Blind”) – When set as “Color Aware” governs discard eligibility
• Marking typically done at ingress• Green – Forwarded frames – CIR conforming traffic• Yellow – Discard Eligible frames – Over CIR , within EIR• Red – Discarded frames – Exceeds EIR
Coupling Flag (set to 1 or 0) governs which frames are classed as yellow

Background: CoS Phase I
MEF 23 CoS Implementation Agreement - Phase 1• Specifies a 3 CoS Model and allows for subsets and extensions
• Provides Guidance for interconnections of Carrier Ethernet networks implementing Class of Service Models
• PCP/DSCP* values, as part of the Class of Service ID (CoS ID)
– Recommended for the UNI while PCP values are mandatory at the ENNI to facilitate interconnection.
– PCP/DSCP mandatory values are subset of the total value
Guidance on Bandwidth Profile constraints – Includes consideration for frame disposition (i.e., “Color”)
Performance Attributes– Introduced based on FD, IFDV/FDV and FLR – not quantified
* Note: PCP: Priority Code Point : 3 bit Priority in IEEE 802.3 datagram frames.DSCP: 6-bit Differentiated Services Code Point in IP frames

Class of Service Session Phase II
• Intention– Simplify and standardize the way Carrier Ethernet services are
implemented to support a wide variety of applications – Provide a rich set of definitions for performance objectives
deployed in local, regional, national and worldwide locations– Provide necessary service mapping at the connection points
between providers • Impact for providers
– cost savings, new revenue opportunities with shorter time to turn up
• MEF 23.1 adds functionality– Classes of Service, quantified QoS measurement, new attributes
and definitions, common terminology
![Page 30: Carrier Ethernet Services Overview Reference Presentation R03 2011-11-15](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042519/55cf9bd3550346d033a78665/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

New Performance Tiers:• Metro (250km), • Regional (1,200km), • Continental (7,000km), • Global/Intercontinental (27,500 km)
MEF Class of Service Extensions (MEF 23.1)
• Implementation Guidance for the Industry– Enables performance improvement and reduced costs of Mobile
Backhaul & key business applications– Defines Class of Service Performance Objectives (CPOs) by
application type for Mobile Backhaul networks and end-to-end apps
• CPOs include all relevant metrics by type and distance
Applies to UNI-UNI, ENNI-UNI, ENNI-ENNI virtual connections
![Page 31: Carrier Ethernet Services Overview Reference Presentation R03 2011-11-15](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042519/55cf9bd3550346d033a78665/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

MEF Class of Service Extensions
• Implementation and Measurement– Extends existing Bandwidth Profile and Traffic management – Quantifies Delay, Delay Variation, Frame Loss Ratio, availability etc.– Adds Mean Frame Delay and Frame Delay Range– Defines CPOs for distance related attributes as performance tiers– Used by new Mobile Backhaul Project
Example of bandwidth profiles for typical Mobile Backhaul with 4 classes of service.
Each CoS has one way performance metrics objectives

Example of full mappings of PCP at a UNI for multi-CoS EVCs that support all 3 MEF CoS Labels and no additional CoS Names.
• This may be a common approach in handling low latency traffic based on a PCP marking – particularly when using (for instance) IP Routers.
Example PCP Mapping for Multi-CoS EVC Supporting Only Standard Classes of Service at UNI – “Router-Application-Friendly” mapping

Benefits of CoS Alignment, Standardization
Summary• An important new specification that will accelerate
deployment• Customers can easily receive the same service
between all points in the world• Carriers can interconnect with other carriers
automatically without engineering• Services can rapidly roll out worldwide• Service calls diminish when service performance is
universally predictable• Carrier Ethernet applications are tuned to work better
because the underlying service is better understood

Implementation Guidance• The above bandwidth profiles and related Performance metrics are a small set of those available. • New MEF Specifications recommend performance objectives based on both distance and application types
Impact for Providers and Enterprises• Ability to tune Carrier Ethernet services to exactly match wide variety of changing applications requirements
creates a highly responsive network that reacts well to bursts of high priority data.
