3.3 Software Architecture This section describes the system's general software architecture, as well as the functions of each software module.
3.3.1 Overview of Software Architecture
The software system is of a modular structure. The modules accomplish the corresponding functions and interoperate with each other.
3.3.2 Communication Protocols and Interfaces
The communication interfaces on the equipment are mainly Qx interfaces. For the description of the protocol stacks and messages on the Qx interfaces, see ITU-T G.773, ITU-T Q.811, and ITU-T Q.812.
3.3.3 Board Software
This section describes the software architecture of the OptiX OSN 550.

3.3.4 NE Software
The NE software manages, monitors, and controls the running of boards in the NE. In addit ion, the NE software serves as the service unit for the communication between the NMS and boards. In this manner, the NMS can control and manage the NE.
3.3.5 NMS Software
Like other optical transmission equipment, the OptiX OSN 550 is managed by the iManager series NMS.
3.3.1 Overview of Software Architecture The software system is of a modular structure. The modules accomplish the corresponding functions and interoperate with each other.
The software modules fall into three types: the board software that runs on a variety of functional boards, the NE software that runs on the system control and communication board, and the network management software that runs on the network management computer.
The software system is of layered design. That is, each layer performs specific functions and serves its upper layer. Figure 3-3 shows the general structure of software. All the modules except the network management system and the board software are NE software.

OptiX OSN 550 Multi-Service CPE Optical Transmission System Product Description 3 Product Architecture
Issue 01 (2011-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
22
A Qx interface mainly connects a mediation device (MD), Q adaptation (QA), or network element (NE) with an operations system (OS) through the local communication network (LCN). A QA interface is provided at the NE management layer, and an MD and OS are provided at the network management layer. As specified in the Recommendation, a Qx interface is developed in compliance with the Connectionless Network LayerService (CLNS1) based on TCP/IP. A Qx interface supports the remote access of NMS through a modem, and the IP layer uses the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) accordingly.
3.3.3 Board Software This section describes the software architecture of the OptiX OSN 550.
3.3.4 NE Software The NE software manages, monitors, and controls the running of boards in the NE. In addit ion, the NE software serves as the service unit for the communication between the NMS and boards. In this manner, the NMS can control and manage the NE.
In compliance with ITU-T M.3010, the NE software belongs to the element management layer in the telecommunications management network (TMN), and provides NE functions, some coordination functions, and operations system functions at the network element layer. The data communication function (DCF) provides communication functions between the NE and other components (including mediation devices, NMS, and other NEs).
� Real-t ime mult i-task operating system
The real-t ime mult i-task operating system of the NE software is responsible for the management of public resources and supports applications. This system provides an application execution environment that is independent of the processor hardware, to separate applications from the processor.
� Communication and control module
The Communication and control module is the interface module between the NE software and the board software. According to the corresponding communication protocol, the communication and control module achieves the communication between the NE software and the board software. In this manner, the information can be exchanged and the equipment can be maintained. On one hand, the communication and control module issues the maintenance operation commands of the NE software to the boards. On the other hand, it reports the status, alarms, and performance events of the boards to the NE software.
� Network side (NS) module
The network side (NS) module is between the communication module and equipment management module. It converts the data format between the user operation side on the application layer and the NE equipment management layer, and provides security control for the NE layer. The NS module can be subdivided into three submodules in terms of function: Qx interface module, command line interface module, and security management module.
� Equipment management module
The equipment management module (AM) is the kernel of the NE software. It implements NE management, and includes the Manager and the Agent. The Manager sends network management operation commands and receives event information. The Agent responds to the network management operation commands sent by the Manager, performs operations to managed objects, and reports events according to the status change of the managed objects.
� Communication module
OptiX OSN 550 Multi-Service CPE Optical Transmission System Product Description 3 Product Architecture
Issue 01 (2011-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
23
This module fulfills the message communication function (MCF) of the functional blocks of the transmission network equipment. Through the hardware interface provided by the SCB board, the communication module transmits the OAM&P information and exchanges management information between the NMS and NEs, and between NEs themselves. The communication module consists of network communication module, serial communication module, and ECC communication module.
� Database management module
The database management module is a principal component of the NE software. It consists of the data and the programs. The data, organized by database form, consists of the network database, alarm database, performance database, and equipment database. The program manages and accesses the data in the databases.
3.3.5 NMS Software Like other optical transmission equipment, the OptiX OSN 550 is managed by the iManager series NMS.
The NMS manages the optical transport network, and maintains all the OSN, SDH, Metro, and DWDM equipment on networks.
The NMS, which complies with the ITU-T Recommendations, adopts a standard management information model and the object-oriented management technology. The NMS exchanges information with the NE software through the communication module to monitor and manage the network equipment.
The NMS software runs on a workstation or PC. It manages the equipment and the transmission network. The NMS software provides the operation and maintenance function for the transmission equipment, and also provides the management capability for the transmission network. The NMS software has the following management functions:
� Alarm management: collects, prompts, filters, browses, acknowledges, checks, clears, counts alarms in real t ime, inserts alarms, analyzes alarm correlation, and diagnoses faults.

4.2.3 CES Services
CES: By using the PWE3 technology, PWE3 packet headers are added to TDM traffic to create circuit emulation services (CES). PWE3 packet headers carry the frame format information, alarm information, signaling information, and synchronization and t iming information of the TDM traffic. The encapsulated PW packets are transmitted over the MPLS tunnel on the PSN. After being decapsulated at the PW egress, the TDM circuit switched service traffic is re-created. On a packet switching network, the transmit and receive ends of a CES service maintain clock synchronization by means of adaptive clock recovery (ACR).
4.2.4 ATM/IMA Services
This section provides the definit ion of ATM PWE3 and describes its purpose.
4.2.1 Native Ethernet Services Based on the packet plane, Native Ethernet services are classified into six types.
Point-to-Point Transparently Transmitted E-Line Service The point-to-point transparently transmitted E-Line services are the basic E-Line model. Point-to-point transmission does not involve service bandwidth sharing, service isolation, or service distinguishing; instead, Ethernet services are transparently transmitted between two service access points.
Service Model Table 4-2 describes the point-to-point transparently transmitted E-Line service model.

The source port processes the incoming Ethernet frames based on its TAG attribute, and then sends the processed Ethernet frames to the sink port. The sink port processes the Ethernet frames based on its TAG attribute, and then exports the processed Ethernet frames.
In service model 2, ports process the received Ethernet frames according to their TAG attributes. Therefore, service model 2 is not a real transparent transmission model and is not recommended.

In service model 1, Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2, which carry no VLAN ID or carry unknown VLAN IDs, are accessed to NE1 through port 1 and port 2 respectively. Port 1 and port 2 transparently transmit Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2 to port 3 and port 4, respectively. Port 3 and port 4 then transmit Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2 to NE2. Service processing on NE2 is the same as on NE1.
In service model 2, Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2, which carry no VLAN ID or carry unknown VLAN IDs, are accessed to NE1 through port 1 and port 2 respectively. Port 1 and Port 2 process the incoming packets based on their TAG attributes. Then, Port 1 and Port 2 send Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2 to Port 3 and Port 4 respectively. Port 3 and Port 4 process the incoming packets based on their TAG attributes. Then, Port 3 and Port 4 send Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2 to NE2. Service processing on NE2 is the same as on NE1.
VLAN-based E-Line Services VLANs can be used to separate E-Line services. With the VLAN technology, mult iple E-Line services can share one physical channel. These services are VLAN-based E-Line services.

Typical Applications Figure 4-2 shows the typical application of VLAN-based E-Line services. Service 1 and Service 2 carry different VLAN IDs. Therefore, after the two Ethernet services are accessed to NE1 through Port 1 and Port 2 respectively, they can share the same transmission channel at Port 3.
On NE1, Port 1 and Port 2 process the incoming packets based on their own TAG attributes. Then, Port 1 and Port 2 send Service 1 and Service 2 to Port 3. Port 3 processes all the outgoing packets based on its TAG attribute, and then sends Service 1 and Service 2 to NE2. Due to the different VLAN IDs, Service 1 and Service 2 can be transmitted through Port 3 at the same time.
NE2 processes Service 1 and Service 2 in the same manner as NE1.

You can configure QinQ-Based E-Line Services on NE2 and NE3 for service access.
4.2.2 ETH PWE3 Services In the topology, the E-Line services are point-to-point services. The E-Line services realize the point-to-point transmission of Ethernet services.
Figure 4-10 shows the networking diagram of the E-Line services carried by PWs.
The branches of Company A and Company B are located in City 1 and City 2, and need to communicate with each other. The services of Company A and Company B need to be isolated from each other. In this case, you can configure the E-Line services that are carried by PWs and from the user side to the network side, to realize the communication between the branches of Company A or Company B. In addit ion, different services are carried by different PWs, therefore realizing the isolation of the services of Company A from the services of Company B.
The services that are accessed from the user side are encapsulated and transmitted to the PWs. Then, the services are transmitted through the tunnel.

The E-Line services of different companies are carried by different PWs and then to the same port on the network side. In this manner, the port resources on the network side are saved and the bandwidth utilization is increased. In the uplink direction of the user side, layered QoS configuration can be performed for data packets.

4.2.3 CES Services CES: By using the PWE3 technology, PWE3 packet headers are added to TDM traffic to create circuit emulation services (CES). PWE3 packet headers carry the frame format information, alarm information, signaling information, and synchronization and t iming information of the TDM traffic. The encapsulated PW packets are transmitted over the MPLS tunnel on the PSN. After being decapsulated at the PW egress, the TDM circuit switched service traffic is re-created. On a packet switching network, the transmit and receive ends of a CES service maintain clock synchronization by means of adaptive clock recovery (ACR).
Emulation Mode The OptiX NG-SDH series equipment supports two types of CES services: structure-aware TDM circuit emulation service over packet switched network (CESoPSN) CES and structure-agnostic TDM over packet (SAToP) CES.
In the case of CESoPSN CES:
� The equipment senses the frame format, frame alignment mode, and t imeslot information in the TDM circuit.
� The equipment processes the overheads and extracts the payloads in TDM frames. Then, the equipment loads t imeslots to the packet payload in a certain sequence. As a result, the services in each t imeslot are fixed and visible in packets.
In the case of SAToP CES:
� The equipment does not sense any format in the TDM signal. Instead, it considers TDM signals as bit flows at a constant rate, and therefore the entire bandwidth of TDM signals is emulated.

4.2.4 ATM/IMA Services This section provides the definit ion of ATM PWE3 and describes its purpose.
Definition The ATM PWE3 technology emulates the basic behaviors and characterist ics of ATM services on a packet switched network (PSN) by using the PWE3 mechanism, so that the emulated ATM services can be transmitted on a PSN.
Purpose Aided by the ATM PWE3 technology, conventional ATM networks can be connected by a PSN. Specifically, ATM PWE3 allows transmitt ing conventional ATM services over a PSN by emulating the ATM services.
The networking type of ATM PWE3 can be one-to-one or N-to-one depending on the encapsulation type of ATM PWE3 packets. It is obvious that ATM PWE3 helps to transmit ATM services over the PSN, without adding ATM equipment or changing the configuration of the ATM CE equipment.

Definition MPLS APS is a function that protects MPLS tunnels based on the APS protocol. With this function, when the working tunnel is faulty, the service can be switched to the preconfigured protection tunnel.
The MPLS APS function supported by the OptiX OSN 550 has the following features:
� The MPLS APS provides end-to-end protection for tunnels. � The working tunnel and protection tunnel have the same ingress and egress nodes. � The protection tunnel in the MPLS APS protection pair does not carry extra traffic. � In MPLS APS, the MPLS OAM mechanism is used to detect faults in tunnels, and the
ingress and egress nodes exchange APS protocol packets to achieve protection switching.
Purpose MPLS APS improves reliability for service transmission in tunnels.
As shown in Figure 4-15, when the MPLS OAM mechanism detects a fault in the working tunnel, the service is switched to the protection tunnel for transmission.

Definition PW APS is a function that protects PWs based on the APS protocol. With this function, when the working PW is faulty, the service can be switched to the preconfigured protection PW.
The PW APS function supported by the OptiX OSN 550 has the following features:
� The PW APS function provides end-to-end protection for PWs. � The working PW and protection PW are carried in different tunnels but have the same
local and remote PEs. � The protection PW in the PW APS protection pair does not carry extra traffic.

Definition Link State Pass Through (LPT) detects a fault that occurs at a service access node or on a service network, and then instructs the equipment at both ends of a service network to immediately start a backup network for communication. LPT ensures proper transmission of important data. As shown in Figure 4-17, LPT-enabled NE1 and NE2 will disconnect their access links from router A and router B if access link 1, access link 2, or the service network becomes faulty. As a result, router A and router B will immediately detect the link fault between them, and switch to backup networks for communication.

Purpose With the LPT function enabled, access equipment will immediately detect link faults and switch to backup networks t imely.
4.3.4 LAG Link aggregation allows mult iple links that are attached to the same equipment to be aggregated together to form a LAG so that the bandwidth increases and the reliability of the links is improved. The aggregated links can be considered as a single logical link.
A LAG aggregates mult iple physical links to form a logical link that is at a higher rate to transmit data. Link aggregation functions between adjacent equipment. Therefore, link aggregation is not related to the architecture of the entire network. Link aggregation is also called port aggregation because links correspond to ports one to one on an Ethernet network.
As shown in Figure 4-18, the LAG provides the following functions:
� Increased bandwidth
A LAG provides users with a cost-effective method for increasing the link bandwidth. Users obtain data links with higher bandwidths by combining mult iple physical links into one logical link without upgrading the existing equipment. The bandwidth of the logical
OptiX OSN 550 Multi-Service CPE Optical Transmission System Product Description 4 Packet Functions and Features

43
link is equal to the sum of the bandwidths of the physical links. The aggregation module distributes the traffic to different links by using the load sharing algorithm, therefore providing the load sharing function for links.
� Increased availability
The links in a LAG dynamically back up each other. When a link fails, the other links in the LAG quickly take over. The process in which link aggregation starts the backup link is associated only with the links in the same LAG, and the links not in the LAG are not involved.

4.4 Maintenance This section describes the maintenance functions and features including MPLS OAM, ETH-OAM, ATM OAM, and RMON in the packet domain.
4.4.1 MPLS OAM
The MPLS OAM mechanism supported by the equipment includes tunnel OAM and PW OAM. Tunnel OAM operates at the tunnel layer, and PW OAM operates at the PW layer. Tunnel OAM and PW OAM both provide the complete fault detection and locating mechanism.
4.4.2 ETH-OAM
ETH-OAM enhances Ethernet Layer 2 maintenance functions and it strongly supports service continuity verification, service deployment commissioning, and network fault locating.
4.4.3 ATM OAM
This section provides the definit ion of ATM OAM and describes its purpose.
4.4.4 RMON
By using the remote monitoring (RMON), you can transmit network monitoring data between different network sections.
4.4.5 PRBS
Certain boards provide the PRBS functional module, which is used for testing and maintaining the network. You can determine whether the working path on a tributary port, in the line direction, or in the cross-connect direction is normal, depending on whether bit errors are detected in a PRBS test.
4.4.6 CES Alarm Transmission

The OptiX OSN 550 uses the L/M and R fields in the control word to transparently transmit alarms.
4.4.1 MPLS OAM The MPLS OAM mechanism supported by the equipment includes tunnel OAM and PW OAM. Tunnel OAM operates at the tunnel layer, and PW OAM operates at the PW layer. Tunnel OAM and PW OAM both provide the complete fault detection and locating mechanism.
Tunnel OAM � Description
The tunnel OAM mechanism helps to effectively detect, identify, and locate internal defects at the tunnel layer of an MPLS network. The equipment triggers the protection switching based on the OAM detection status. Therefore, quick fault detection and service protection can be achieved.
� Objectives and benefits
As a key bearer technology for the scalable next generation network (NGN), MPLS provides mult i-service capabilit ies with ensured QoS. In addit ion, MPLS introduces a unique network layer (tunnel), which may cause some faults. Therefore, an MPLS network must have the OAM capability.
By providing a tunnel OAM mechanism independent of any upper layer or lower layer, the tunnel OAM supports the following features:
− Provides query-on-demand and consecutive detections so that at any moment you can learn whether the monitored LSP has defects.
− Detects, analyzes, and locates any defect that occurs, and notifies the NMS of the relevant information.
− Triggers a protection switching immediately after a defect or fault occurs on a link.
− Monitors the performance events indicating packet loss ratio, delay, and jitter in real t ime and reports them to the NMS.
PW OAM � Description
The PW OAM mechanism helps to effectively detect, identify, and locate internal defects at the PW layer of a network. The equipment triggers the protection switching based on the OAM detection status. Therefore, quick fault detection and service protection can be achieved.
� Objectives and benefits
The equipment performs PW encapsulation on service packets, and then transmits the service packets over tunnels. The network consists of two layers: tunnel and PW. Tunnels use tunnel OAM for maintenance and management, and PWs use PW OAM for maintenance and management. Currently, the equipment can detect the connectivity of a certain PW through ping packets, and then reports the result to the NMS.
4.4.2 ETH-OAM ETH-OAM enhances Ethernet Layer 2 maintenance functions and it strongly supports service continuity verification, service deployment commissioning, and network fault locating.

Definition With the continuous development of the Ethernet, especially when LANs evolve to WANs, operators pay more attention to equipment maintainability. Solutions to operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) in the transmission network are required urgently. Therefore, ETH-OAM is developed.
ITU-T and IEEE have researches on ETH-OAM. Currently, Huawei Ethernet service processing boards have realized the ETH-OAM function, which complies with IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah. Wherein, IEEE 802.1ag define Ethernet service OAM standards, and IEEE 802.3ah defines Ethernet port OAM standards. As shown in Figure 4-19, the combination of IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah provides a complete Ethernet OAM solution.

� Ethernet service OAM focuses on the maintenance of end-to-end Ethernet links. Based on services, Ethernet service OAM implements end-to-end detection in the unit of "maintenance domain" and performs segmental management on each network segment that is involved in the same service on a network.
� Ethernet port OAM focuses on the maintenance of point-to-point Ethernet link between two directly-connected devices in Ethernet in the first mile (EFM). Ethernet port OAM does not focus on a specific service. It maintains the point-to-point Ethernet link by performing OAM auto-discovery, link performance monitoring, fault check, remote loopback, and selfloop check.
Purpose Based on the MAC layer, the ETH-OAM protocol performs OAM operations for the Ethernet by transmitting OAM packets. This protocol is irrelevant to the transmission medium. The OAM packets are processed only at the MAC layer, having no impact on the other layers of the Ethernet. In addit ion, as a low-rate protocol, the ETH-OAM protocol occupies low bandwidths. Therefore, this protocol does not affect services carried on links.
A comparison of ETH-OAM and existing OAM and fault locating methods is provided as follows:

� When a loopback is performed at a port, all packets on the port are looped back. Therefore, the loopback method cannot be used if only a specific service needs to be looped back.
� ETH-OAM can detect hardware faults. � ETH-OAM can detect and locate faults automatically.
4.4.3 ATM OAM This section provides the definit ion of ATM OAM and describes its purpose.
Definition ATM OAM is used for detecting and locating ATM faults, and monitoring ATM performance. In this document, ATM OAM refers to OAM only at the ATM layer and implements various OAM functions by means of specific ATM OAM cells.
Purpose ATM OAM provides segment-based ATM OAM between the CE and the PE and end-to-end-based ATM OAM between CEs.
As shown in Figure 4-20, ATM OAM cells are transmitted and detected between the CE and the PE, or between the CEs to monitor the ATM link.

4.4.4 RMON By using the remote monitoring (RMON), you can transmit network monitoring data between different network sections.
Currently, the management of the Ethernet performance for transmission products is relevantly simple. In the case of the management of Ethernet ports, the management of the performance data of the ports is required. What's more, as the network is becoming complex, a method for managing network sections is required. Thus, the RMON emerges and the RMON should have the following features:
OptiX OSN 550 Multi-Service CPE Optical Transmission System Product Description 4 Packet Functions and Features
Issue 01 (2011-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
47
� All statistics data is saved at the agent and the out-of-service operation on the manager is supported.
� History data is saved for the fault diagnosis. � Errors are detected and reported. � Detailed data is provided. � Multiple management stations are supported.
Based on the preceding purposes, the RMON defines a serial of statistic formats and functions to realize the data exchange between the control stations and detection stations that complies with the RMON standards. To meet the requirements of different networks, the RMON provides flexible detection modes and control mechanism. What's more, the RMON provides error diagnosis, planning and information receiving of the performance events of the entire network.
4.4.5 PRBS Certain boards provide the PRBS functional module, which is used for testing and maintaining the network. You can determine whether the working path on a tributary port, in the line direction, or in the cross-connect direction is normal, depending on whether bit errors are detected in a PRBS test.
In the case of E1 services, T1 services or T3 services, the PRBS15 is transmitted.
The PRBS function of the board is available in two types: lower-order PRBS function and higher-order PRBS function. Currently, the OptiX OSN equipment supports only the lower-order PRBS function. In the case of the lower-order PRBS function, the PRBS module is integrated with the tributary board.
An NE that provides the PRBS function can be used as a simple instrument. You can determine whether a service path is faulty and can determine the location of the fault on fibers or relevant boards between the faulty NEs, depending on the bit errors detected on the NE. The PRBS function module can analyze the local NE and the entire network. Therefore, you can perform a test without using a real instrument during the deployment or fault locating.
4.4.6 CES Alarm Transmission The OptiX OSN 550 uses the L/M and R fields in the control word to transparently transmit alarms.
CES alarm transparent transmission involves transmitt ing local CES alarms to the remote end, and insert ing corresponding alarms to notify the remote end of faults in the local end. Depending on the posit ion where the alarm is generated, CES alarm transparent transmission can be between AC sides, and from the NNI side to the AC side.
CES Alarm Transparent Transmission Between AC Sides Figure 4-21 shows the CES alarm transparent transmission can be between AC sides.

� The service alarms on the AC side are transparently transmitted through the PSN as follows:
When receiving TDM signals carrying AIS/RAI alarms from AC1 side, PE1 uses the L or M field in the control word to respectively transmit AIS and RAI alarms to PE2. Then, PE2 inserts AIS/RAI alarms into AC2 based on the received L or M field.
The SAToP encapsulation mode does not support the M field, and therefore cannot transparently transmit the RAI alarm.
� The fault information on the AC link or port is transmitted through the PSN as follows:
When detecting an AC link fault or E1 port fault in AC1, PE1 uses the L or M field in the control word to transmit the fault information to PE2. Then, PE2 inserts alarms into AC2 based on the received L or M fields.

4.5 Synchronization This section describes synchronization features including synchronous Ethernet clock, and CES ACR in the packet domain.
4.5.1 Synchronous Ethernet Clock
The synchronous Ethernet clock is a technology that extracts the clock from the serial bit stream on the Ethernet line, and transmits data through the extracted clock to realize the transfer of clocks.
4.5.2 CES ACR
This section provides the definit ion of CES ACR and describes its purpose.
4.5.1 Synchronous Ethernet Clock The synchronous Ethernet clock is a technology that extracts the clock from the serial bit stream on the Ethernet line, and transmits data through the extracted clock to realize the transfer of clocks.
Definition The synchronous Ethernet clock is a technology of frequency synchronization over the physical layer. The system directly extracts the clock signal from the serial bit stream on the Ethernet line, and transmits the data to each board by using the clock signal to realize the transfer of clock information.
Purpose As the network is increasingly based on the Ethernet transfer technology, the large-scale network at the carrier-class level requires the synchronous Ethernet to transmit the clock and introduces the networkwide synchronous t iming transmission idea of the SDH system to the Ethernet design. Therefore, the clock signal can be transmitted from the core to the edge by using the Ethernet physical layer, to provide ensured t iming for various real-t ime services.
4.5.2 CES ACR This section provides the definit ion of CES ACR and describes its purpose.
Definition CES ACR is a function that uses the adaptive clock recovery (ACR) technology to recover clock synchronization information carried by CES packets. In the standard CES ACR solution, the source end (Master) considers the local clock as the t imestamp in the Real-t ime Transport Protocol (RTP) packet header and encapsulates it in the CES packet; the sink end (Slave) recovers the clock according to the t imestamp in the packet. In this manner, signal impairment during the transmission is prevented.
The OptiX OSN 550 adopts the enhanced timestamp clock solution. That is, clocks can be recovered based on SN in CES packets rather than t imestamps in RTP packet headers. See Figure 4-23.

5.3 Protection Support This section describes the protection schemes including SNCP and linear MSP in the TDM domain.
5.3.1 SNCP
The SNCP scheme, which requires one working subnet and one protection subnet, is to select one service from the dually transmitted services.
5.3.2 Ring MSP
Ring MSP uses the mult iplex section overhead (MSOH) bytes K1 and K2 to implement automatic protection switching of services.
5.3.3 Linear MSP
The linear MSP uses the K1 and K2 bytes in the multiplex section overhead to realize automatic protection switching. The OptiX OSN equipment supports 1+1 and 1:N linear MSP.
5.3.1 SNCP The SNCP scheme, which requires one working subnet and one protection subnet, is to select one service from the dually transmitted services.
The SNCP scheme, which requires one working subnet and one protection subnet, is to select one service from the dually transmitted services. If the working subnet fails to be connected or if its performance fails to meet certain requirements, the connection of the protection subnet takes over.
Figure 5-1 shows the application of the SNCP.

5.3.2 Ring MSP Ring MSP uses the mult iplex section overhead (MSOH) bytes K1 and K2 to implement automatic protection switching of services.
Two-Fiber Unidirectional Ring MSP On a two-fiber unidirectional ring MSP, one of the bidirectional STM-N lines is the working line, and the other is the protection line. As shown in Figure 5-2, the services on the two-fiber unidirectional ring MSP are on diverse routes. Before the protection switching, the signal flow of the services from NE A to NE C is NE A→NE B→NE C, and the signal flow of the services from NE C to NE A is NE C→NE D→NE A.
In normal cases, services are transmitted on the working line. When a fiber cut occurs and the working line becomes unavailable, the services on the two ends of the faulty point are both switched from the working line of the faulty fiber to the protection line of the reverse directional fiber for transmission. Figure 5-2 shows the application of the two-fiber unidirectional ring MSP. After the protection switching, the signal flow of the services from NE A to NE C is NE A→NE D→NE C→NE B→NE C, and the signal flow of the services from NE C to NE A continues to be NE C→NE D→NE A.

Two-Fiber Bidirectional Ring MSP On a two-fiber bidirectional ring MSP, the first half of VC-4s on each STM-N line is allocated to the working channel, and the other half of VC-4s is allocated to the protection channel. As shown in Figure 5-3, the services on the two-fiber bidirectional ring MSP are on uniform routes. Before the protection switching, the signal flow of the services from NE A to NE C is NE A→NE B→NE C, and the signal flow of the services from NE C to NE A is NE C→NE B→NE A.
In normal cases, services are transmitted on the working channel. The services transmitted on two fibers flow in inverse directions. When a fiber cut occurs and the working channel becomes unavailable, the services on the two ends of the faulty point are both switched from

5.3.3 Linear MSP The linear MSP uses the K1 and K2 bytes in the multiplex section overhead to realize automatic protection switching. The OptiX OSN equipment supports 1+1 and 1:N linear MSP.
1+1 Linear MSP The 1+1 linear MSP requires one working channel and one protection channel. At the source node, the service is dually fed to the working channel and protection channel. At the sink node, the service is received from the working channel. When the working channel becomes faulty,

No extra traffic can be configured in the protection channel in a 1+1 linear MSP group.
1:N linear MSP The 1:N linear MSP requires N working channels and one protection channel. Common services are transmitted on the working channels, and extra traffic is transmitted on the protection channel. When a working channel becomes faulty, the service on the channel is switched to the protection channel. Therefore, the extra traffic is interrupted. Figure 5-5 shows the application of the 1:N linear MSP.

Purpose The LMSP scheme uses the MSOH bytes K1 and K2 to implement automatic protection switching once the working path fails, and therefore to protect services.
5.4 Maintenance Certain boards provide the PRBS functional module, which is used for testing and maintaining the network. You can determine whether the working path on a tributary port, in the line direction, or in the cross-connect direction is normal, depending on whether bit errors are detected in a PRBS test.
In the case of E1 services, T1 services or T3 services, the PRBS15 is transmitted.
The PRBS function of the board is available in two types: lower-order PRBS function and higher-order PRBS function. Currently, the OptiX OSN equipment supports only the lower-order PRBS function. In the case of the lower-order PRBS function, the PRBS module is integrated with the tributary board.
An NE that provides the PRBS function can be used as a simple instrument. You can determine whether a service path is faulty and can determine the location of the fault on fibers or relevant boards between the faulty NEs, depending on the bit errors detected on the NE. The PRBS function module can analyze the local NE and the entire network. Therefore, you can perform a test without using a real instrument during the deployment or fault locating.

5.5 Synchronization Clock synchronization on the entire network helps to transmit services normally.
Definition Clock: The electronic circuit in a computer that generates a steady stream of timing pulses.
Purpose Clock synchronization ensures that all the digital devices on a communications network work at the same nominal frequency, and therefore minimizes the impacts of slips, burst bit errors, phase jumps, jitters, and wanders on digital communications systems. Clock synchronization also minimizes pointer justifications on SDH devices. Therefore, clock synchronization is the precondit ion and basis for the normal operation of a network.

Issue 01 (2011-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

7 Security Management
7.1 Authentication Management For security concerns, only an authenticated user can log in to an NE.
� NE login management: You can successfully log in to an NE only after entering the correct user name and password.
� NE user switching: One client allows only one user to operate the NE at a t ime. For this reason, if mult iple NE users log in to an NE, the NE users need to be switched to ensure that the configuration data is unique.
� Forcibly logging other users out of the NE: To avoid errors owing to simultaneous configuration by multiple users, or to prevent other users from illegally logging in to the NE, one user can forcibly log a lower-level user out from the NE.
� NE login locking: After the locking function is enabled, a user whose level is lower than that of the current user is not allowed to log in to the NE.
� NE configuration locking: You can lock the function of configuring certain functional modules on an NE to prevent other users from configuring the modules.
� You can query users that are logged in to the NE.
7.2 Authorization Management The authorization management allows different authorities for different users when they operate an NE. This effectively protects the NE against inappropriate operations.
� Management of NE users
− Five user authority levels are available in an ascending order: monitoring level, operation level, maintenance level, system level, and debugging level.
− Based on the network management system, NE users are classified into LCT NE users, EMS NE users, CMD NE users, and general NE users.
− You can create a user, assign an authority level for the user, and specify the user flag.
− You can change a user name, a password, an authority level, and a user flag.
− You can delete a user. � Management of NE user groups:
OptiX OSN 550 Multi-Service CPE Optical Transmission System Product Description 7 Security Management
Issue 01 (2011-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
66
− By default, five user groups are available with authorities in an ascending order: monitor group, operator group, maintenance personnel group, administrator group, and super administrator group.
− You can change the group to which a user belongs.
7.3 Network Security Management The security of transmitting data between the NMS and NEs, and in the network, is the precondit ion for the NMS to manage the NEs.
Communication between the NMS and NEs can be implemented based on Access Control List (ACL), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), or Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) protocol.
ACL Protocol The ACL rules are configured to filter the received IP packets. This controls the data traffic on the network and protects against malicious attacks.
You can set basic ACL rules or advanced ACL rules, based on the required system security level.
� For an NE that requires a low security level, you can configure the basic ACL rules so that the NE checks only the source addresses of received IP packets.
� For an NE that requires a high security level, you can configure the advanced ACL rules. In this case, the NE checks the source addresses, sink addresses, source ports, sink ports, and protocol types of the received IP packets.
If both the advanced and basic ACL rules are configured, the NE uses only the advanced ACL rules to check the received IP packets.
In addit ion, the ACL rules support the following operations:
� Queries of the ACL rules � Modification of the ACL rules � Deletion of the ACL rules
SSL Protocol The SSL protocol is used to protect the integrity and security of data.
RADIUS Protocol RADIUS provides a complete network security solution. After the RADIUS server verifies that the user name and password of a user are valid, the server allows a certain authority for the user, and provides services to the user.
The RADIUS server of the carrier manages all the user accounts and user attributes of the OptiX OSN 550. To log in to the OptiX OSN 550, you must apply for a user account to the carrier. When you try to log in to the OptiX OSN 550, the RADIUS server verifies the user name and password that you have entered. If the verification fails, a login error is reported.
The OptiX OSN 550 supports the shielding function when being connected to the network port management device. That is, when being connected to the network port on an OptiX
OptiX OSN 550 Multi-Service CPE Optical Transmission System Product Description 7 Security Management
Issue 01 (2011-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
67
OSN 550, the network port management device manages only the connected OptiX OSN 550, and cannot access the other devices that are connected to the OptiX OSN 550 through the ECCs. With this function, even if an OptiX OSN 550 NE in the insecure domain is accessed illegally, the NEs that are connected to the OptiX OSN 550 will not be illegally operated.
7.4 System Security Management The system provides necessary security policies that are executed forcibly.
� Querying and sett ing the Warning Screen information of an NE � Querying and sett ing the Warning Screen switch of an NE to determine whether to
report an alarm after a user logs in to the NE � Querying and sett ing the earliest expire t ime and the latest expire t ime of a password � Checking whether a password is unique on an NE
7.5 Log Management Log management involves system security log management and Syslog management.
System Security Log Management The system security log of an NE records all operations and operation results on the NE. By querying the system security log, the administrator can trace and check operations of users.
� You can query the system security log of an NE. � You can forward the system security log to the Syslog server.
Syslog Management The Syslog service is used for the security management of NEs. Different information is transmitted to the Syslog server in a format compliant with the Syslog protocol so that the maintenance personnel can monitor NEs easily.
The OptiX OSN 550 supports the following functions related to the Syslog protocol:
� Enabling and disabling the Syslog protocol. � Setting the transmission mode of the Syslog protocol to UDP (by default) or TCP. � Adding or deleting Syslog servers. � Configuration of mult iple Syslog servers and transmission of logs to mult iple servers at
the same time.
� Reporting relevant alarms when the Syslog server fails to communicate with NEs.
Figure 7-1 illustrates the log transmission of the the Syslog protocol on a network. To ensure the security of system logs, at least two Syslog servers are required on a transmission network. NEs communicate with Syslog servers by running the IP protocol. NEs communicates with each other in many modes, such as ECC and IP over DCC.

NE D
ECC/ IP OVER DCC
A Syslog server is a work station or server that stores the system logs of all NEs on a network.
Forwarding gateway NEs receive system logs from other NEs, and then forward these system logs to Syslog servers. For example, NE A and NE C in Figure 7-1.
When NEs communicate in IP mode, each NE can directly communicate with two different Syslog servers by running the IP protocol. Hence, you need to configure the IP addresses and port numbers of the Syslog servers on an NE. The NE transmits the system log to two Syslog servers by using the automatic routing function of the IP protocol. You need not configure any forwarding gateway NE.
When NEs communicate in ECC mode, the NEs that are not directly connected to Syslog servers cannot communicate with Syslog servers. The logs of these NEs need to be transmitted to the gateway NEs that can communicate with Syslog servers directly. Then, the gateway NEs forward the logs to Syslog servers. Therefore, you need to configure forwarding gateway NEs. For example, you can configure NE A as the forwarding NE of NE D.

A.1 Numerics 1+1 protection An architecture that has one normal traffic signal, one working
SNC/trail, one protection SNC/trail and a permanent bridge. At the source end, the normal traffic signal is permanently bridged to both the working and protection SNC/trail. At the sink end, the normal traffic signal is selected from the better of the two SNCs/trails. Due to the permanent bridging, the 1+1 architecture does not allow an extra unprotected traffic signal to be provided.

Active/Standby switching of cross-connect board
The process in which the standby cross-connect board automatically takes the place of the active one. If there are two cross-connect boards on the SDH equipment, which are in hot back-up relation of each other, the operation reliability is improved. When both the cross-connect boards are in posit ion, the one inserted first is in the working status. Unplug the active board, the standby one will run in the working status automatically. When the active cross-connect board fails in self-test, the board is pulled out, the board power supply fails or the board hardware operation fails, the standby cross-connect board can automatically take the place of the active one.

Alarm inversion For the port that has already been configured but has no service, this function can be used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference. The alarm report condit ion of the NE port is related to the alarm inverse mode (not inverse, automatic recovery and manual recovery) sett ing of the NE and the alarm inversion status (Enable and Disable) sett ing of the port. When the alarm inversion mode of NE is set to no inversion, alarms of the port will be reported as usual no matter whatever the inversion status of the port is. When the alarm inversion mode of the NE is set to automatic recovery, and the alarm inversion state of the port is set to Enabled, then the alarm of the port will be suppressed. The alarm inversion status of the port will automatically recover to "not inverse" after the alarm ends. For the port that has already been configured but not actually loaded with services, this function can be used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference. When the alarm inverse mode of the NE is set as "not automatic recovery", if the alarm inversion status of the port is set as Enable, the alarm of the port will be reported.

Frame loss ratio A ratio, is expressed as a percentage, of the number of service frames not delivered divided by the total number of service frames during t ime interval T, where the number of service frames not delivered is the difference between the number of service frames arriving at the ingress ETH flow point and the number of service frames delivered at the egress ETH flow point in a point-to-point ETH connection.
Free-run mode An operating condit ion of a clock, the output signal of which is strongly influenced by the oscillat ing element and not controlled by servo phase-locking techniques. In this mode the clock has never had a network reference input, or the clock has lost external reference and has no access to stored data, that could be acquired from a previously connected external reference. Free-run begins when the clock output no longer reflects the influence of a connected external reference, or transit ion from it. Free-run terminates when the clock output has achieved lock to an external reference.

full-duplex A full-duplex, or sometimes double-duplex system, allows communication in both directions, and, unlike half-duplex, allows this to happen simultaneously. Land-line telephone networks are full-duplex, since they allow both callers to speak and be heard at the same time. A good analogy for a full-duplex system would be a two-lane road with one lane for each direction.

A.19 S S1 byte A byte to transmit network synchronization status information. On an
SDH network, each NE traces hop by hop to the same clock reference source through a specific clock synchronization path, realizing synchronization on the entire network. If a clock reference source traced by an NE is missing, this NE will trace another clock reference source of a lower level. To implement protection switching of clocks in the whole network, the NE must learn about clock quality information of the clock reference source it traces. Therefore, ITU-T defines S1 byte to transmit network synchronization status information. It uses the lower four bits of the multiplex section overhead S1 byte to indicate 16 types of synchronization quality grades. Auto protection switching of clocks in a synchronous network can be implemented using S1 byte and a proper switching protocol.

The SNCP node of the ring sub-network can support electric circuit dually feed and selectively receive a t imeslot out of the ring, thus implementing sub-network connection protection. The SNCP node is generally set on the node on the line board with the path protection type of the dual fed and selectively received.

SVC Switching Virtual Connection
Switching priority
A priority of a board that is defined for protection switching. When several protected boards need to be switched, a switching priority should be set for each board. If the switching priorit ies of the boards are the same, services on the board that fails later cannot be switched. Services on the board with higher priority can preempt the switching resources of that with lower priority.
Switching restoration time
It refers to the period of time between the start of detecting and the moment when the line is switched back to the original status after protection switching occurs in the MSP sub-network.
Synchronization Status Message
A message that carries quality levels of timing signals on a synchronous t iming link. Nodes on an SDH network and a synchronization network acquire upstream clock information through this message. Then the nodes can perform proper operations on their clocks, such as tracing, switching, or converting to holdoff, and forward the synchronization information to downstream nodes.
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
A transmission scheme that follows ITU-T G.707, G.708, and G.709. It defines the transmission features of digital signals such as frame structure, mult iplexing mode, transmission rate level, and interface code. SDH is an important part of ISDN and B-ISDN. It interleaves the bytes of low-speed signals to mult iplex the signals to high-speed counterparts, and the line coding of scrambling is used only for signals. SDH is suitable for the fiber communication system with high speed and a large capacity since it uses synchronous mult iplexing and flexible mapping structure.
Synchronous source
A clock providing t iming services to connected network elements. This would include clocks conforming to Recommendations G.811, G.812 and G.813.
