2.4 Networking
The OptiX OSN 1500 can be used for several network topologies such as the ring
network and the chain network.
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports the separate and hybrid configuration of the following
types of NEs:
The OptiX OSN 1500 can be interconnected with Huawei OSN, DWDM, and Metro
equipment series, to provide a complete transmission network solution.
When the equipment is interconnecting, make sure that the K bytes to be received and
transmitted are on the same path at both ends.
The OptiX OSN 1500 can be used with another OptiX OSN equipment to provide
a complete ASON solution. This solution covers all the layers including the
backbone layer, the convergence layer, and the access layer.
Through an SDH, PDH, Ethernet, ATM, or DDN interface, the OptiX OSN 1500
can be interconnected with the OptiX Metro equipment.
Table 2-5 lists the networking modes supported by the OptiX OSN 1500.

Any four adjacent standard DWDM wavelengths that comply with ITU-T G.694.1
can be added or dropped.
The optical terminal multiplexer (OTM) or the optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM)
station that adds or drops four wavelengths is supported. Concatenation is
supported, and thus multiple waves can be added or dropped.
Intermediate ports are provided for expansion. When intermediate ports are
cascaded with other OADM boards, the expansion of add/drop channels is
realized.
Dual fed and selective receiving boards support intra-board protection. One
board of this type can be used to realize the optical channel protection, with the
protection switching time less than 50 ms.
Single fed and single receiving boards support inter-board protection. A 1+1
inter-board standby scheme is supported, with the protection switching time less
than 50 ms.

For E1/T1 services, the central NE directly demaps VC-12 signals into E1/T1
signals.
For E3/T3 services, the central NE first demaps VC-3 signals into E3/T3
signals. Then, the E13/M13 function is performed to demultiplex E3/T3 signals
into E1/T1 signals.
The central NE first grooms E1/T1 signals, and then by using the E13/M13
function, aggregates and reassembles these E1/T1 signals to E3/T3 signals.
Then, the E3/T3 signals are output.
If the reassembled E3/T3 signals are output to the local application equipment
through electrical interfaces, the mode is referred to as the Transmux mode.
2.13 RPR
The RPR is suitable for ring topology and is used to quickly restore services from a
fiber cut or a link failure.
The main features of the RPR are as follows:
Provide the topology auto-discovery function to reflect the network status in real
time.
Support fairness algorithm by configurable weight and support five service levels.
Support a maximum of 255 nodes in the ring network and support stripping at the
destination node.

2.14 ETH-OAM
The ETH-OAM function enhances the method of performing Ethernet Layer 2
maintenance. It can be implemented to verify service connectivity, commission
deployed services, locate network faults, and so on.
For the OptiX OSN 1500, Ethernet service processing boards provide the ETH-OAM
function, which complies with IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah. The ETH-OAM
function provides a complete ETH-OAM solution to automatically detect and locate
faults.
The IEEE 802.1ag ETH-OAM is realized through the following methods:
The loopback (LB) test, which is used for a bidirectional continuity check.
The link trace (LT) test, which is used to locate the faulty point.
The continuity check (CC), which is used for a unidirectional continuity check.
OAM_Ping test, which is used to test the packet loss ratio and latency in service.
The IEEE 802.3ah ETH-OAM function is realized through the following methods:
Automatic OAM Discovery, which is used to obtain the capability for the opposite
end to support the IEEE 802.3ah OAM protocol.
Link performance monitoring, which is used to monitor the bit error performance
of the link.
Remote loopback, which is used to locate a fault and test the link performance.
Loop shutdown, which is used to block a self-loop port and rectify a port loop.
The complete software package is stored on the compact flash (CF) card of the
Q3CXL/R1CXL board. If the board software files are lost, these files can be
restored from the Q3CXL/R1CXL board.

Upgrade of software of an NE
The hot patch solves most of the software problems without affecting services.
The hot patch effectively decreases the number of software versions and
prevents frequent software version upgrade.
The hot patch operation does not affect services and can be performed remotely.
The hot patch also provides a rollback function. This helps to decrease the
upgrade cost and to avoid upgrade risks.
The hot patch can be used as an effective method for locating faults, and thus
improves the efficiency of solving problems.

If the PRBS function is used for lower order services, the PRBS module is
integrated on a tributary board.
If the PRBS function is used for higher order services, the PRBS module is
integrated on a line board or a cross-connect board.
For the opposite tributary or line of a path to be tested, the user issues a loopback
command on the T2000.
On the T2000, the user issues a command to enable the PRBS function for this
path.
The tributary, line, or cross-connect board performs the PRBS function and starts
the statistics.
The tributary, line, or cross-connect board reports the PRBS test result.
The user releases the loopback of the path on the opposite tributary or line board.

The new board may not support the functions of the original board. Before the
replacement, fully consider the difference of functions of the two boards. For
example, if an N2 version line board is used to replace an N1 version line board,
AU-3 services and TCM function cannot be configured on the N2 version line
board.

On NE2 and NE3 that are respectively located in Huawei networks B and C, the
DCC information in the overhead bus is sent from the external clock interface to
the tributary board. After cross-connect grooming, the DCC information is sent,
together with the service, through an optical interface (or a 2 Mbit/s electrical
interface) for transmission.
On NE1 in Huawei network A, when the optical interface (or the 2 Mbit/s electrical
interface) receives service data transparently transmitted through the third-party
network, the DCC information is extracted, and is then sent through the tributary
board to the external clock interface. At last, the DCC information returns to the
overhead bus.

If the two versions before and after the upgrade have significant differences, the
service interruption during the NSF-mode upgrade cannot be controlled within 50 ms,
and this ensures only a low service interruption time.

NE software
Board software
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
The ASON software can interact with the T2000 software directly, but it needs the NE
software to intercommunicate with the board software.
During the software loading, the ASON software is loaded together with the NE software.
Commercial in Confidence
Page 71 of 243
4.3 NE Software
The NE software is used to manage, monitor and control the operation of the boards
of an NE. The NE software also functions as the communication unit between the
T2000 system and the boards. Through the NE software, the T2000 system can
control and manage NEs.
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 implements the
communication between the NE and other components (including equipment, the
T2000 system, and other NEs).
The NE software consists of the following modules:

the application layer) and the NE equipment management layer, and provides security
control for the NE layer.
Functionally, the NS module is divided into the following three submodules:
Qx interface module
Communication Module
The communication module performs the message communication function (MCF) of
the functional blocks of the transmission network equipment. Through the hardware
interface provided by the SCC board, the communication module transmits the
OAM&P information and exchanges management information between the T2000
system and NEs, and between NEs themselves. This module consists of the network
communication module, the serial communication module, and the ECC
communication module.
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
Page 73 of 243
The T2000 software manages OptiX equipment through the Qx interface, which
adopts a management protocol specially designed for the OptiX equipment.
The T2000 software runs on a workstation or a PC. The T2000 enables the user not
only to operate and maintain the transmission equipment, but also to manage the
transmission network.
Alarm management
The T2000 realizes the following alarm management functions: real-time collection,
prompting, filtering, browsing, acknowledgement, check, clearing, counting, alarm
insertion, alarm correlation analysis, and fault diagnosis.
Performance management
The T2000 realizes the setting of performance monitoring, and enables the user to
browse, analyze, and print performance data. The short-term and long-term
performance forecast and the performance register reset are also supported.
Configuration management
The T2000 enables the user to configure and manage interfaces, clocks, services,
trails, protections, and time.
Security management
Maintenance management
The T2000 provides the loopback, board reset, automatic laser shutdown (ALS), and
optical power detection, and data collection functions, to help the maintenance
personnel in troubleshooting.

The EPL implements the point-to-point transparent transmission of Ethernet services.
As shown in Figure 5-1, the Ethernet services of different NEs are transmitted to the
destination node through their respective VCTRUNKs. The Ethernet services are also
protected by the SDH self-healing ring (SHR). This ensures the secure and reliable
transmission of services.

EPLAN Service
Though the EPLAN service, NEs can communicate with each other and dynamically
share a bandwidth, the OptiX OSN 1500
adopts virtual bridge (VB)
to support Layer 2 switching of Ethernet data. This is referred to as the EPLAN
service.
Each NE in the system can create one or several VBs. Each VB establishes a media
access control (MAC) address table. The system updates the table by self-learning.
The data packets accessed select the mapping VCTRUNK according to the MAC
address table, as shown in Figure 5-6.

5.1.3 Protection
OptiX OSN 1500 provides layered protection on Ethernet services.
The optical transmission layer supports MSP, SNCP, SNCMP and SNCTP.
The protection schemes supported at the Ethernet service layer are as follows:
LCAS
STP/RSTP
DLAG
LPT
LCAS
The LCAS provides an error tolerance mechanism to enhance the reliability of the
virtual concatenation function. The LCAS has the following functions:
When the LCAS is applied in the virtual concatenation technology, the LCAS
enables the configuration of system capacity, the increase and decrease of the
concatenated VC quantity, and the dynamic change of bearer bandwidth
(services are not damaged during the dynamic change).
As shown in Figure 5-8, the LCAS can dynamically add or delete members to increase
or decrease the bandwidth. Services are not interrupted during this bandwidth
adjustment.

As shown in Figure 5-9, the LCAS realizes the protection of the Ethernet service.
When some members fail, the faulty members are automatically deleted, whereas
other members transmit data normally. When the faulty members are available again,
they are automatically restored, and the data is loaded to these members again.

STP/RSTP
The Ethernet boards support the spanning tree protocol (STP) and the rapid spanning
tree protocol (RSTP). When the STP or the RSTP is started, it logically modifies the
network topology to prevent a broadcast storm. The STP or the RSTP realizes link
protection by restructuring the topology.
TPS
The TPS provides equipment level protection for tributary services. When a protected
board becomes faulty, its services are switched to the protection board. This ensures
a reliable operation of the equipment.
The OSN 1500B supports one group of 1:1 TPS protection for the N2EFS0 or
N4EFS0 board.
BPS
The BPS is a board-based protection scheme that requires an active board and a
standby board. When the active board detects a link down failure of any port, or
detects a board hardware failure, the cross-connect board switches all the services
from the active board to the standby board to realize the service protection.
The N1EGS4, N3EGS4 and N1EMS4 boards both support BPS.
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
Page 89 of 243
PPS
The PPS is a port-based protection scheme that requires an active board and a
standby board. When the active board detects a link down failure of any port, or
detects a board hardware failure, the cross-connect board switches the services of
one or more affected ports to the standby boards. In this case, a protection switching
for the entire board is not necessary.
Compared with the BPS, the PPS has lesser impact on external systems and the
network.
The N1EGS4, N3EGS4 and N1EMS4 boards both support the PPS.
LAG
A link aggregation group (LAG) bundles multiple links that are connected to the same
equipment, to increase the bandwidth and improve the link reliability. An LAG can be
regarded as one link.
The LAG provides the following functions:
Adds the link bandwidth. The LAG is an economical method for the user to
increase the link transmission rate. When multiple physical links are bundled, the
user is able to obtain a data link of higher bandwidth, without an upgrade of the
existing equipment. The capacity of an LAG is equal to the sum of the capacity of
all the member links.
Balances load. Multiple physical links in an LAG share the traffic load and back
up each other.
The LAG has three modes: dynamic aggregation, manual aggregation, and static
aggregation. For details, refer to B.4 Link Aggregation.
The N1EMS4, N1EGS4 and N3EGS4 boards support link aggregation, and currently
support only manual aggregation and static aggregation.
DLAG
The DLAG requires two boards. One board is the working board and the other is the
protection board.
During switching, only the affected ports are switched and the other ports are not
switched. The equipment configured with the DLAG should be connected to the
equipment where the LACP is running. When any intermediate node is between two
equipment sets where the DLAG is configured, the intermediated node should support
the transparent transmission of the protocol packets.
The DLAG can be of modes: revertive or non-revertive.
Revertive mode
If the working board becomes faulty, the DLAG is switched to the protection board.
When the working board is restored, the DLAG is automatically switched to the
working board.
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
Page 90 of 243
Non-revertive mode
If the working board becomes faulty, the DLAG is switched to the protection board.
When the working board is restored, the DLAG is not automatically switched to the
working board unless the protection board becomes faulty.
The N1EMS4, N1EGS4 and N3EGS4 boards support distributed link aggregation.
LPT
The link state pass through (LPT) is a link-based protection scheme. In a network,
when the active and standby ports between routers belong to different links, the LPT
function is available for protection. When the working link becomes faulty, the LPT
function shuts down the local port so that the opposite router knows that the working
link is abnormal. As a result, services are switched from the active port to the standby
port. Thus, these services are protected.
The LPT function includes P2P and P2MP LPT.

Topology Auto-Discovery
The topology auto-discovery protocol provides an accurate and reliable method to
quickly discover the topologies and their changes, for all the nodes in a ring network.
Hence, the topology auto-discovery realizes the plug and play feature for the RPR.
To increase or decrease the total bandwidth of an RPR, you can use the LCAS
function, which realizes the dynamic increase and decrease of bandwidth without
affecting the existing services.
Spatial Reuse
On an RPR, the stripping of unicast frames at the destination node realizes the spatial
reuse for ring bandwidth. As shown in Figure 5-11, the bandwidth of a single ring is
1.25 Gbit/s. Traffic 1 sent from Node 1 to Node 4 is stripped from the ring at the
destination Node 4, and thus the bandwidth behind Node 4 is left unused. In this case,
Node 4 is able to send traffic to Node 3 at a 1.25 Gbit/s bandwidth. In this way, the
bandwidth utilization is improved.

Fairness Algorithm
The outer ring and the inner ring of an RPR support independent weighted fairness
algorithm. The fairness algorithm ensures the fair access of lower-class B_EIR and C
services. The weight in the fairness algorithm is configurable so that different nodes
can have different access rates. Weights need to be set for a node on the outer ring
and the inner ring separately. In the case of preemptible bandwidth, these two weights
decide the bandwidth at which the node transmits lower-class services on the inner
ring and the outer ring.
As shown in Figure 5-12, the weights of Nodes 2, 3 and 4 on the outer ring are 1. On
the outer ring, assume that the preemptible bandwidth that is available for lower-class
services is 1.2 Gbit/s. In this case, the fairness algorithm allocates 400 Mbit/s each for
the lower-class services transmitted from Nodes 2, 3 and 4 to Node 1.
Figure 5-13 shows a fairness algorithm with different weights, that is, the weights of
Nodes 2, 3 and 4 on the outer ring are 1, 3 and 2 respectively. In this case, the
fairness algorithm allocates 200 Mbit/s, 600 Mbit/s, and 400 Mbit/s bandwidths for the
lower-class services transmitted from Nodes 2, 3 and 4 to Node 1.

5.2.2 Application
The RPR boards support the application of RPR features in EVPL and EVPLAN
services.
EVPL Service
The EVPL service supports traffic classification based on port or port+VLAN, and
encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the MPLS MartinioE format.
Figure 5-14 illustrates the accessing, forwarding and stripping of a unidirectional
EVPL service. Node 2 adds the Tunnel and VC labels into the packet, and sends the
packet onto the RPR. Node 3 forwards the packet to the destination Node 4, which
then strips the packet.
Figure 5-15 illustrates the EVPL service convergence, in which the traffic classification
is based on port+VLAN so that multiple services can be converged at the GE port of
Node 1.

EVPLAN Service
The EVPLAN service supports traffic classification based on port or port+VLAN, and
encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the stack VLAN format. The EVPLAN service
is realized by creating virtual bridges (VBs) in the board. The VB supports the
self-learning of source MAC addresses and the configuration of static MAC routes.
Figure 5-16 shows an example of the EVPLAN service. Port rpr1 is where the packets
are accessed onto the RPR. By address self-learning, the VB of each node
determines the forwarding port and the destination node of the packets. At Node 1, if
the destination MAC address of the packets is A1, the packets are forwarded through
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
Page 97 of 243
Port 1. If the destination address is A2, the packets are forwarded through Port 2. If
the destination address is B1, B2 or C1, the packets are forwarded onto the RPR
through Port rpr1, added with a stack VLAN tag whose value is 100. Node 2 forwards
packets in the same way.

5.2.3 Protection
The RPR services of the OptiX OSN 1500 are protected by various protection
schemes.
The protection schemes of the RPR services include:
LCAS
RSTP
Wrapping
When a failure is detected on the ring, the wrapping function performs an automatic
loopback at the nodes that are adjacent to the failure point, to connect the inner ring
and the outer ring. The protection switching time is less than 50 ms. The advantages
of this protection scheme are enhanced protection speed and minimal loss of data,
and the disadvantage is the waste of bandwidth.
Figure 5-17 illustrates the wrapping protection. The traffic is sent from Node 4, passes
through Nodes 3 and 2 in turn, and finally reaches Node 1. When there is a fiber cut
between Nodes 2 and 3, they perform an automatic loopback to connect the inner ring
and the outer ring, so that the protection is realized.

Steering
In the steering protection, switching is not performed at the failure point. Instead, the
source node sends the traffic to the destination node through a new route that is
generated by the topology auto-discovery protocol. If the number of nodes on the ring
is less than 16, the steering protection switching time is less than 50 ms. The
advantage of this protection scheme is that it does not waste bandwidth. The
disadvantage is that, when the network scale is large, the protection switching speed
is low, and some data is discarded before a new route is generated.
Figure 5-18 illustrates the steering protection. Before a failure occurs on the ring, the
traffic is sent from Node 4, passes through Nodes 3 and 2 in turn, and finally reaches
Node 1, through the outer ring. When there is a fiber cut between Nodes 2 and 3, the
topology auto-discovery protocol discovers a new topology. On the basis of this new
topology, the traffic is sent from Node 4, passes through Nodes 5 and 6 in turn, and
finally reaches Node 1, through the inner ring.

Wrapping+Steering
In the wrapping+steering protection, when a failure is detected on the ring, the ring
first performs a wrapping switching to ensure the switching speed and decrease the
packet loss. After the topology auto-discovery protocol generates a new ring topology,
the ring performs the steering protection so that the traffic is sent to the destination
through the best route. This reduces the waste of bandwidth.
Figure 5-19 illustrates the wrapping+steering protection. Before a failure occurs on the
ring, the traffic is sent from Node 4, passes through Nodes 3 and 2 in turn, and finally
reaches Node 1, through the outer ring. When there is a fiber cut between Nodes 2
and 3, a wrapping switching is first performed so that Nodes 2 and 3 are automatically
loopbacked. After the topology auto-discovery protocol discovers a new topology, a
steering switching is performed. As a result, the traffic passes through Nodes 5 and 6
in turn, and finally reaches Node 1, through the inner ring.

The OptiX OSN 1500 supports the application of several types of ATM services.
The CBR services apply to voice services, and video services and circuit
emulation services of a constant bit rate. These services require guaranteed
transmission bandwidth and latency.
The rt-VBR services apply to audio and video services of a variable bit rate.
The UBR services are generally used for LAN emulation and file transfer.
In terms of the supported services and traffic types, the OptiX OSN 1500 meets IETF

DCN Features
6.1 Overview
The element management system (EMS) sets up communication with NEs through a
data communication network (DCN), to manage and maintain these NEs.
In a DCN, the EMS and NEs are regarded as network nodes, which can be connected
through Ethernet or physical data communication channels (DCCs).
In practical networking, the EMS and NEs can be located on different floors in a
building, in different buildings, or even in different cities. Therefore, the connection
between the EMS and NEs usually requires an external DCN that consists of
equipment such as LAN switch and routers. On the other hand, the DCN among NEs
is referred to as an internal DCN. This section describes the internal DCN that
consists of SDH NEs. See Figure 6-1.

HWECC
The HWECC protocol is a private protocol developed by Huawei to support the DCN
networking of OptiX equipment. The HWECC protocol features easy configuration and
application. As it is a private protocol, HWECC protocol does not meet the
management requirements for hybrid networking by using the equipment from other
vendors.
The TCP/IP and OSI protocols are standard communication protocols that solve the
management issue in the case of hybrid networking with equipment from other
vendors. These two protocols can also be used in a network that consists of only
Huawei equipment.
When OptiX equipment is interconnected with other vendors equipment that does not support
the TCP/IP and OSI standard communication protocols, Huawei provides the transparent
transmission function for DCC bytes, and provides relevant Ethernet service channels to
transparently transmit the OAM information.

Compared with the service configuration of SDH networks, it fully utilizes the routing
and signaling functions of the ASON NEs and thus it is convenient to configure
services.
For example, consider the configuration of a 155 Mbit/s ASON service between A and
I in Figure 7-4. The network automatically finds the A-D-E-I route and configures
cross-connection at nodes A, D, E and I. Although there is more than one route from A
to I, the network calculates the best route according to the configured algorithm. It is
assumed that A-D-E-I is the best route.

Simple configuration: For one ASON clock subnet, only the primary clock need be
created to realize auto-tracing and auto-switching of the clock.
Auto-tracing and auto-switching: In an ASON clock subnet, the clock has the
auto-tracing and auto-switching features.
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
For one ASON clock subnet, several primary reference clock sources can be set. The
ASON clock subnet, however, traces only one of these primary reference clock
sources. The other clock sources back up the traced clock source. When the selected
primary reference clock source fails, the entire subnet automatically traces another
backup primary reference clock source. In this way, a new clock tracing tree is
established. A priority should be set for the primary reference clock source.
As shown in Figure 7-6, in an ASON clock subnet, primary and secondary clock
sources are configured at NE A and NE B respectively. Other ASON NEs in the ASON
clock subnet automatically create clock tracing trees by computation. In this way, the
entire subnet traces the primary BITS and all clocks in the subnet keep synchronous.
When the primary BITS fails, each ASON NE creates the clock tracing tree by
re-computation. In this way, the entire subnet traces the secondary BITS and all
clocks in the subnet keep synchronous.

Interfacing Mode
By default, the ASON software automatically creates the clock tracing tree according

available clock source. If necessary, set the interfacing mode of some optical

interfaces to the clock quality not detected mode to adjust the clock tracing tree. In this
way, these optical interfaces are excluded from the options of the clock tracing
sources for ASON NEs.
Regeneration Source
A regeneration source is a device used to regenerate clock signals. If an NE is
configured with such a device, the system tracing clock of the NE is strengthened and
the quality of the out-link clock is increased. During the computation for creating the
clock tracing tree, the clock signals strengthened by the regeneration source are
selected with priority.
For configuration of the regeneration source, 2M input and output interfaces are used.
An NE receives the upstream clock signals and outputs them to the regeneration
device. The regenerated clock signals then return to the NE through the 2M input
interface. The clock then works as the system tracing clock for the NE. In this way,
clock signals are strengthened and the line clock signals output from the NE are also
strengthened.
The ASON clock subnet take priority to trace the primary source of the highest
clock quality.
If multiple primary reference clock sources are of the same quality, the ASON
clock subnet traces the primary reference clock source of the highest priority.
If multiple primary reference clock sources are of the same quality and priority,
the ASON clock subnet traces the clock source in the trail with the least hops to
generate multiple clock tracing trees. In this way, too long clock tracing trail is
avoided.
If all the primary reference clock sources are invalid, the ASON clock subnet
traces the internal clock source with the smallest node ID. Thus, clocks in the
entire network are synchronized.
Hybrid Network of the ASON Clock Subnet and Traditional Clock Subnet
If the traditional clock subnet works in the SSM disabled mode, you should configure
the quality and priority of the primary reference clock source in the ASON clock
subnet.
If the traditional clock network works in the standard SSM mode, you should configure
only the quality of the primary reference clock source in the ASON clock subnet.
If the traditional clock subnet works in the extended SSM mode, you should only
modify the subnet to the standard SSM mode, and then form a hybrid network with the
ASON clock subnet.
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
If the ASON NE is working in the traditional clock tracing mode and in the standard
SSM mode, you should directly create the ASON clock subnet and configure the
priority of the primary reference clock source.
If the ASON NE is working in the traditional clock tracing mode and in the extended
SSM mode, you should modify the extended SSM mode to the standard SSM mode.
Then you should create the ASON clock subnet and configure the priority of the
primary reference clock source.
7.5 SLA
The ASON network can provide services of different QoS to different clients.
The service level agreement (SLA) is used to classify services according to the

Original Route
Generally, the route during ASON service creation is the original route of the ASON
service. If the original route recovers after rerouting of the ASON services, the
services can be adjusted to the original route manually or automatically. In addition,
the current route can be set to the original route after rerouting of the ASON services.
ASON services are classified into revertive services and non-revertive services. If the
original route recovers after rerouting, the revertive services can be manually or
automatically reverted to the original route. If the original route recovers after rerouting,
the non-revertive services can be only manually reverted to the original route. Before
the non-revertive services revert to the original route, the resources of the original
route may be used by other services.

The MSP supported by the OptiX OSN 1500 has the following features.
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
Adjustable MS Bandwidth
The MS bandwidth refers to the number of VC-4s used by an MSP ring or chain.
In the case of the MSP, the OptiX OSN 1500 supports the bandwidth adjustment by
VC-4 without interrupting services. For an STM-16 bidirectional MSP ring, the MS
bandwidth ranges from one VC-4 to eight VC-4s. For an STM-16 four-fiber
bidirectional MSP ring, the MS bandwidth ranges from one VC-4 to 16 VC-4s.
Upgradeable MS Bandwidth
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports in-service upgrade of the MS bandwidth without
interrupting services. For example, an STM-4 MSP ring can be upgraded to an
STM-16 MSP ring without interrupting services.
MS Squelching
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports the squelching of misconnected services at the VC-4
level.
In an MSP ring, each protection timeslot is shared by different spans or occupied by
extra traffic. When there is no extra traffic in the ring, and a multipoint failure causes a
node to be isolated from the ring, traffics that occupy the same timeslot may try to
preempt this timeslot. As a result, the misconnection of services occurs. When extra
traffic is transmitted in the protection path, the traffic on the working path may preempt
the protection timeslot that is being used by extra traffic, even if only one point fails in
the ring. As a result, the misconnection also occurs.
To prevent service misconnection, each OptiX OSN 1500 node sets up a detailed list
of connections. Each node knows the source and the sink of any AU-4. With the
automatic protection switching (APS) commands, each node can detect in advance
the possibility of misconnection. By inserting the AU-AIS alarm, each node then
discards these services that may be misconnected.
8.2.3 SNCP
The subnet connection protection schemes are SNCP, SNCMP and SNCTP.
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports the subnetwork connection protection (SNCP), the
subnetwork connection multipath protection (SNCMP), and the subnetwork
connection tunnel protection (SNCTP), for subnetworks that meet the ITU-T G.841
requirements.
SNCP
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports the end-to-end conversion between an unprotected
trail and an SNCP-protected trail. See Figure 8-1.

SNCMP
The SNCMP is an N+1 (which means multiple protection paths protect a working path)
protection scheme. The SNCMP is different from the SNCP in that the SNCP is a 1+1
protection scheme.
The SNCMP provides multiple protection paths for a service. In this case, the service
protection is implemented by a mechanism of multiple fed at the source and selective
receiving at the sink. The SNCMP is supplementary to the SNCP.
Figure 8-2 illustrates the principle of multipath protection. The source broadcasts
services to multiple paths, and the sink determines which service to receive according
to the service priority and then the service quality. When services are correctly
received on both the working and protection paths, the sink selects the service from
the working path.

SNCTP
The SNCTP provides protection paths at the VC-4 level. When the working path is
faulty, all its services can be switched to the protection path.
The SNCTP is different from the SNCP in that the SNCTP checks the status of only
the entire VC-4 path, and such a check is irrelevant to the levels of services in the path.
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
When the working path is faulty, relevant higher order alarms are raised, and then all
services in the working path are switched to the protection path. If the fault is relevant
only to lower order services, lower order alarms are raised, and the switching does not
occur.
8.2.4 DNI
The DNI is a protection scheme used for the dual-node interconnection topology.
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports the DNI protection, which is compliant with the ITU-T
G.842.
The DNI network topology protection scheme effectively enhances the reliability of
inter-ring services. The DNI realizes the protection of services between two rings,
which are networked by the equipment from different vendors and adopt different
protection schemes. The DNI provides protection in the case of fiber failure and node
failure.
The DNI provides protection for services between the following rings:

The RPR has the following advantage: On the RPR, every node assumes that the
packets added to the ring will finally reach their destination, regardless of which path
is used. A node can only perform three types of operations on the packets, that is,
insertion (adding a new packet onto the ring), forwarding (forwarding the packet), and
stripping (dropping the packet locally). Compared with a mesh network, an Ethernet
ring considerably decreases the communication traffic among nodes. This is because
a mesh network determines the forwarding port on the basis of every single packet.

In the case of a fiber cut, the RPR provides the wrapping and steering functions for

are adjacent to the fiber cut point. See Figure 8-12.

Steering
In both protection schemes, the packets can reach their destination in a reverse
direction, and the service failure time is less than 50 ms. During the protection
switching, the wrapping function is usually performed first. After the new topology and
the new service trail are created, the steering function is then performed. Such a
mechanism ensures that packets are not lost during the protection switching, and that
the protection switching time is decreased.

The OptiX OSN 1500 provides protection for virtual paths (VPs) and virtual channels
(VCs), and protects ATM services through a dual fed and selective receiving
mechanism. Two connections (VP/VC), which represent the working path and the
protection path, are set up at the source node NE1 and the sink node NE3. In normal
conditions, the receive end selects the service from the working path. When the
primary ring becomes faulty, the receive end detects the failure and triggers the
protection. In this way, the receive end selects the service from the protection path,
and thus the ATM service is protected.

Clock
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports priority setting for clock sources. By default, the
internal clock source is of the lowest priority.
When tracing tributary clock sources, the NE can only trace the first port
(corresponding to the first physical port) or the second port (corresponding to the
ninth physical port) displayed on the T2000 for the PQ1, PQM and PD1.
When tracing tributary clock sources, the NE can only trace the first port
(corresponding to the first physical port) or the second port (corresponding to the

Clock tracing
A clock source ID can be manually set. In the case of the configuration of clock
protection for an SDH ring network, the clock ID is always manually set, to effectively
avoid the occurrence of clock lock ring. The clock ID occurs only at key nodes rather
than all the nodes in an SDH network. To set the clock source ID, do as follows:
Allocate a clock ID for the internal clock source of every node that has an external
BITS.
In case of signals that travel from a chain or a ring into another ring, allocate a
clock ID for the internal clock source of every junction node.
In case of signals that travel from a chain or a ring into another ring, allocate a
clock ID for the line clock source (if any line source is involved at a junction node)
in the direction that the signal travels at every junction node.

OAM
In the case of any emergency, the CXL board generates audible and visual
alarms to prompt the network administrators to take proper measures.
The OptiX OSN 1500 provides three alarm input interfaces, one alarm output
interface to facilitate operation and maintenance of the equipment.
Each board provides running and alarm indicators to help the network
administrators to locate and handle faults quickly.
ALS Function
The OptiX OSN 1500 provides the automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function for the
SDH and Ethernet single-mode optical interfaces.
When a fiber that connects two optical interfaces is cut, an R-LOS alarm is
generated at the optical interface of the local end. If the R_LOS alarm lasts for
500 ms, the laser of the transmit optical interface at the local end is automatically
shut down. By default, the laser pulse is generated at the 60-second interval and
lasts for 2s every time.
After the fiber connection is restored, the optical interface at the opposite end
detects the laser pulse generated from the local end. The laser of the optical
interface at the opposite end then continuously launches laser beams. After
receiving the laser beams launched by the opposite end, the laser of the local
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)

end then also continuously launches the laser beams. As a result, the two optical
interfaces can communicate with each other and the R-LOS alarm is cleared.
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports in-service detection of the optical power of SDH
and Ethernet optical interfaces.
The OptiX OSN 1500 provides the function to query the parameters of the SDH
optical module. The parameters that can be queried include the optical interface
type, fiber mode (single-mode or multi-mode), transmission distance,
transmission rate and wavelength.
The optical interface board uses the pluggable optical module. Users can choose
single-mode or multi-mode optical modules according to the requirement. This
facilitates the maintenance.
The OptiX OSN 1500 provides the orderwire phone function for management
personnel at different node sites to communicate with each other.
The T2000 can be used to dynamically monitor the equipment running status and
alarms of each NE in a network.
The in-service upgrade of the board software and the in-service loading of NE
software are supported. The board software and the FPGA can be remotely
loaded with the error-proof loading and resumable loading functions.
The OptiX OSN 1500 supports the remote maintenance function. When the
equipment becomes faulty, the maintenance personnel can use the public phone
network to remotely maintain the OptiX OSN 1500 system.
The N1PQ1, N1PQM, N2PQ1, line boards and Q3CXL1/4/16 support the PRBS
test and the remote bit error test.
The OptiX OSN 1500 provides the press-to-collect function for fault data. This
function reduces the data collection time before service restoration. By using this
function, the user is able to selectively collect fault data, and to manually interrupt
the collection according to the requirement.
The OptiX OSN 1500 provides the board version replacement function. This
helps to replace the board of an old version with the board of a new version. After
the replacement, the configuration and service status of the new version board
are the same as the configuration and service status of the old version board.
Ethernet boards provide the OAM function. This function is used to automatically
detect faults in Ethernet, and to help locate and isolate these faults.
The power consumption of the equipment and boards can be queried and
controlled. After a board is inserted, it does not work if the total power
consumption of the boards exceeds the power consumption threshold of the
equipment.

Security Management
NE user switching: On a client, only one user is allowed to operate the NE each
time. For this reason, if multiple users intend to operate the same NE
simultaneously, they need to be switched to ensure that the data is unique.
Forcibly making other users exit from the NE: To avoid errors caused by
simultaneous configuration by multiple users, or to prevent other users from
illegally logging in to the NE, one user can forcibly make other users who are at
lower level exit 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 setting locking: You can lock the settings of functional modules of the NE to
prevent other users from operating the locked modules.
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
NE user management:
According to the operation authorities, NE users are divided into five levels,
which involve monitoring level, operation level, maintenance level, system
level, and debugging level in an ascending order.
According to the T2000, NE users are classified into LCT NE users, EMS NE
users, CMD NE users, and general NE users.
Modify the user name, change the password, modify the operation authority,
or change the user flag.
Delete NE users.

The T2000 communicates with NEs through the security socket layer (SSL)
protocol. Therefore, the data is complete and safe.
Set the ACL rule to filter the received IP packets, control the data traffic in the
network, and to avoid malicious attack. According to the system security level, the
ACL rule is divided into basic ACL and advanced ACL.
For an NE that requires lower security level, you can set the basic ACL rule
only to check the source address of the IP packets only.
For an NE that requires higher security level, you can set the advanced ACL
rule. In this case, the NE checks the source address, sink address, source
port, sink port, and protocol type of the received IP packets.
If both the advanced and the basic ACL rules are available, the NE adopts the
advanced ACL rule to check the packets.
Access through the COM port. Owing to the security, after an NE is initialized
or downloads data, by default, the COM access function is disabled. The COM
access function can be enabled when necessary.
Control the access to NEs by using LCT: If the T2000-LCT needs to be used to
manage NEs, you can enable the LCT access authority allowed by the NE on the
T2000.
When the T2000 communicates with an NE, confidential data (such as user
name and password) is encrypted.

Definition of ATM
The asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a cell-based technology, which consists of
the transmission, multiplexing, and switching technologies. The switching technology
of the ATM combines the advantages of packet switching and circuit switching. The
ATM adopts the statistical multiplexing mode to realize fast packet switching. In this
way, the ATM ensures the bandwidth utilization efficiency, and supports the real-time
services of high rates and low rates.
Advantages of ATM
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
In the OSN product series, inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA) technology is used to
transmit ATM services. That is, a high-speed ATM link is transmitted over multiple
low-speed physical links. For example, three E1s are used to transmit one 6 Mbit/s
ATM link through IMA technology.

The contents of the ATM cell header at the UNI are slightly different from the contents

UNI contains GFC requirements.
Half-Duplex CSMA/CD
According to the initial design objective of Ethernet, the computers and other digital
equipment are connected through a shared physical line. The computers and digital
equipment connected in this way must enter the physical line in the half-duplex mode.
In addition, the design must provide a mechanism to detect and avoid conflict, and to
prevent equipment contending for the line at the same time. This is called CSMA/CD.
A piece of terminal equipment detects the status of the shared line continuously and
transmits data only in the idle status. Otherwise, it waits until the line is idle. At this
time, if another piece of equipment transmits data, the data sent by the two inevitably
conflicts, making the signal on the line unstable. After detecting the conflict, the
Issue 02 (2008-03-29)
Commercial in Confidence
terminal equipment stops transmitting the data quickly and then sends a succession of
interfering pulse. After waiting for a period of time, it sends the data again.
The purpose of sending the interfering pulse is to notify the other equipment, that is,
the equipment that sends the data at the same time, that a conflict occurs on the line.
The waiting time after detection of conflict is random but gradually increases.
Auto Negotiation
In actual situations, Ethernet can transmit data in the full duplex mode or half duplex
mode at the rate of 10 Mbit/s, or 100 Mbit/s, through type 5 twisted pair cable or type 3
twisted pair. If each terminal equipment is configured manually, it will be difficult to
maintain the equipment. Auto negotiation provides a solution for addressing this
problem.
Through auto negotiation, the equipment at both ends of a physical link selects a
transmission mode automatically by exchanging information. Auto negotiation is
based on the Ethernet connected by using a twisted pair cable, which is only effective
for such an Ethernet. The contents of auto negotiation include the duplex mode, bit
rate, flow control. If the negotiation passes, the equipment at both ends of the link
works in the mode negotiated.

B.5.1 Overview
MPLS is short for multi-protocol label switching.
MPLS is a standard routing and switching technology platform that supports various
upper layer protocols and services
The MPLS architecture consists of the following:
MPLS uses a short label of fixed length to encapsulate packets, and implements fast
forwarding on the data plane. MPLS uses powerful, flexible routing functions of the IP
network on the control plane to address various new applications.
MPLS is originated from the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), and its core technology
can be extended to multiple network protocols, including the Internet Protocol version
6 (IPv6), Internet Packet Exchange (IPX), Appletalk, DECnet, Connectionless
Network Protocol (CLNP). "Multiprotocol" in the MPLS denotes supporting multiple
network protocols.
OSN product series support the use of MPLS on IPv4, IPv6 and IPX.

transmission network is requested by the T2000 and then created by the
control plane of the NE through signaling.

L
Loopback
The fault of each path on the optical fiber can be located by setting the
loopback for each path of the line. There are three kinds of loopback modes:
No loopback, outloop, inloop.
M
MSP
Multiplex Section Protection. The MSP function provides the capability for
switching a signal from a working section to a protection section.

P
Paired slot
Two slots of which the overheads can be passed through by using the bus on
the backplane. When the SCC unit is faulty or offline, the overheads can be
passed through between the paired slots by using the directly connected
overhead bus. When two SDH boards form an MSP ring, the boards need to
be inserted in paired slots so that the K bytes can be passed through.
