SDH challenges
3
How to use bandwidth efficiently for both voice and data traffic.
The data packet transport (Ethernet, IP, DVB) was a challenge for
SDH.
The desire to find one simple encapsulation method that was capable of
accommodating any data packet protocols.
The only change needed to update the network is to replace the edge
nodes.

MSSP should support more than just data service, namely true
data services multiplexing and switching.
Large MSPP systems, which have switching and grooming capacity
of at least 300 Gbps.
Example: the ONS 15454SDH provides TDM solutions with interfaces such
as E1, E3 and DS3, data solutions with 10/100/1000 Ethernet solutions with
STM1 to STM64 optical transport bit rates in both gray and DWDM (ITU
compatible) wavelengths. Capabilities:
10 Gb Ethernet modules
Flexible networking support including rings, linear point-to point, linear add/drop, star, and
hybrid topologies
1+1 APS, unprotected span, and Ciscos Path Protected Mesh Networking (PPMN)
(3 can fit in a 2000mm ETSI rack/cabinet).

GFP-F
GFP-F entirely maps one complete client frame into a single GFP frame.
Idle packets are not transmitted resulting in more efficient transport.
GFP-F is used where the client signal is framed or packetized by the
client protocol e.g., Ethernet, PPP/IP and HDLC-like protocols.
To perform the encapsulation process it is necessary to receive the
complete client packet, therefore this procedure increases the latency. It
is optimized for bandwidth efficiency at the expense of latency.
Specific mechanisms are required to transport each type of protocol.

Receiver node reassembles the user frame and must compensate the delay
differences of each path. Delay correction has a maximum limit of 512 ms.
Suitable for continental networks.

Dynamic bandwidth
Allows bandwidth changes during the service.
BW can be managed adding or dropping VC of VCG.

LCAS Applications
26
VCAT bandwidth allocation. LCAS enables the resizing of the VCAT pipe
in use when it receives an order from the NMS to increase or decrease the
size.
Network Resilience. In the case of a partial failure of one path, LCAS
reconfigures the connection using the members still up and able to continue
carrying traffic.
Asymmetric Configurations. LCAS is a unidirectional protocol allowing the
provision of asymmetric bandwidth between two MSSP nodes to configure
asymmetric links

The most basic Ethernet virtual service multiplexes multiple customer flows
within a designated infrastructure. Such Ethernet services can be referred to
as Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) or Ethernet Virtual LAN services
(EVPLAN).
Benefits of Switched Ethernet over SDH
QoS support for real-time and premium services using basic CoS service
differentiation.
Efficient bandwidth usage with its statistical multiplexing benefits allowing one
port to connect to multiple (up to 4,096) customer ports.
