2.1.4 Extended Subrack

The extended subrack of the OptiX OSN 3500 can access 504 E1/T1 services and
provide E1/T1 services with 1:N (N≤8) TPS protection.
Each OptiX OSN 3500 can support only one extended subrack, which should be an
OptiX OSN 3500 subrack. The cross-connect and synchronous timing board
configured in the primary subrack is UXCSB and that configured in the extended
subrack is XCE. UXCSB and XCE are connected by two cables to achieve 1:1
protection. Another cable connects the “EXT” interface on the AUX board of the
primary subrack to the equivalent of the extended subrack to transmit the network
management information. Therefore, the extended subrack does not need an SCC
board. Figure 2-3 shows the hardware configuration of the extended subrack.

2.3 Built-in WDM Technology

The OptiX OSN 3500 provides a two-channel optical add/drop multiplexing board
MR2A and an arbitrary bit rate wavelength conversion board LWX to realize built-in
WDM technology. There are two types of the MR2 boards: MR2A and MR2C. They
are identical in function but installed in different slots. These boards have the following
characteristics:
! The MR2 adds/drops two adjacent standard wavelengths compliant with ITU-T
G.692 (DWDM), with signals transmitted transparently and operating wavelength
ranging from 1535.82 nm to 1560.61 nm.
! The MR2 serves as an OTM station adding/dropping two channels of signals.
! Two MR2 boards connected in serial can form an OTM station adding/dropping
four channels.
! The MR2 can work with the LWX to form an OADM station adding/dropping two
channels of signals.
! The LWX converts client-side signals into ITU-T G.692 (DWDM) compliant
standard wavelength signals and transmit the signals transparently.
! The LWX provides 3R function to client-side uplink/downlink signals (at the rate of
10 Mbit/s–2.7 Gbit/s), performs clock recovery and monitors its rate.
! Two types of LWX board are available: one is single-fed single receiving, and the
other is dual-fed signal selection.
! The dual-fed signal selection LWX supports intra-board protection, realizing optical
channel protection with one board. The protection switching time is less than 50ms.
! The single-fed single receiving LWX supports inter-board protection, that is, 1+1
inter-board hot backup protection. The protection switching time is less than 50ms.

+3.3 V board power supply 1:N centralized backup
Note:
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports three TPS protection groups of different types at the same
time.
2.4.2 Network Level Protection

The OptiX OSN 3500 is a multi add/drop multiplexer (MADM) system. It can process
up to 40 embedded control channels (ECCs). It supports some complicated network
topologies at STM-1/STM-4/STM-16/STM-64 level, such as chain, ring, hub, ring with
chain, tangent rings and intersection rings.
In terms of the network level protection, the OptiX OSN 3500 supports 4-fiber/2-fiber
multiplex section protection (MSP) ring, linear MSP, MS-shared optical path protection,
fiber-shared virtual trail protection and sub-network connection protection (SNCP).
Table 2-6 shows the MS protection ring types supported by the OptiX OSN 3500 and
the maximum number of each type.
Table 2-6 The maximum number of MS rings protection supported by the OptiX OSN 3500

Protection scheme Max. number of MS rings protection

supported
STM-16 four-fiber MS ring protection 2
STM-16 two-fiber MS ring protection 4

Note: Only supports one of the maximum number of MS rings protection listed above at a time.
2.4.3 Adjustable MS Bandwidth

In terms of MSP, the OptiX OSN 3500 supports bandwidth adjustment by VC-4, that is,
for an STM-64 ring, its MS bandwidth can change from one VC-4 to 32 VC-4s. And for
an STM-16 ring, its MS bandwidth can change from one VC-4 to eight VC-4s.
2.4.4 Squelching Function in Multiplex Section
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the function of squelching misconnected VC-4 traffic.
Each protection time slot in a multiplex section protection ring is shared by the traffic
from different segments or occupied by extra traffic. With no extra traffic in the ring,
and under the situation that a certain node is isolated because of multiple points’
failure, the traffic from different segments of the same time slot may contend for the
same protection channel time slot. This brings misconnection of traffic. With extra
traffic in the ring, and even under the situation of a single node’s failure, the traffic from
the working channel may also contend for the time slot of protection channel carrying
extra traffic. This also brings misconnection.
To prevent misconnection, every node of the OptiX OSN 3500 has a detailed
connection table. Every node knows the source and sink point of each VC-12, VC-3,
or VC-4 (VC-12 or VC-3 connections must have the same source and sink). Such
information helps APS protocol to tell possible misconnections in advance. Traffic with
the potentiality of misconnection is discarded through inserting TU_AIS or AU_AIS.
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the squelching of misconnected VC-12, VC-3 and
VC-4 traffic in 2-fiber or 4-fiber MS ring protection. VC-12 or VC-3 connections must
have the same source and sink.

OptiX OSN 3500
5.3 NE Software
The NE software manages, monitors and controls the operation of the boards of an
NE. Through the NE software, the communication unit between the NM system and
boards, the NM system can control and manage NEs. According to ITU-T
Recommendation M.3010, the NE software belongs to the NE management layer in
the telecommunication management network, implementing the functions including
NE functions, some of coordination functions and operating system functions of the
network element layer. The data communication function implements the
communication between the NE and other equipment (including coordinated
equipment, NM system, and other NEs).
! Real-time multi-task operating system
The function of the real-time multi-task operating system of the OptiX OSN 3500 NE
software is to manage public resources and provide support for the executive program.
It can provide an executive environment unrelated to processor hardware by
segregating the application from the processor.
! Network side (NS) module
The 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. It can be divided into three sub-modules functionally: Qx interface module,
command line interface module and security management module.
! Equipment administration module (AM)
The equipment AM is the kernel of the NE software for NE management. It includes
Manager and Agent. Administrator can send network management operation
commands and receive events. Agent can respond to the network management
operation commands sent by the network administrator, implement operations to the
managed object and submit events according to status change of the managed
object.
The equipment AM includes configuration management module, performance
management module, alarm management module and MSP switching management
module.
! Communication module
This module fulfills 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 NM system and NEs, and between NEs themselves. It consists of
network communication module, serial communication module and ECC
communication module.
! Database management module
This module is an organic component of the NE software, composed of database and
management system. Database comprises several sub databases, including network
database, alarm database, performance database and equipment database. The
management system manages and accesses the data in the database.

OptiX OSN 3500
5.4 Board Software

The board software runs on each board, managing, monitoring and controlling the
operation of the board. It receives the command issued from the NE software and
reports the board status to the NE software through performance and alarm events.
Its specific functions include: alarm management, performance management,
configuration management and communication management and so on. It can
directly control the functional circuits in corresponding boards and implement ITU-T
compliant specific functions of the NE.
The board software can be classified into the following types: line software,
cross-connect software, clock software and orderwire software.
5.5 NM System
The NM system implements a unified management over the optical transmission
network, and maintains all ION, SDH, Metro, DWDM NE equipment in the network. In
compliance with ITU-T Recommendation, it is a network management system
integrating standard management information model and object-oriented
management technology. It exchanges information with NE software through the
communication module to monitor and manage the network equipment.

6.1.2 Application
The OptiX OSN 3500 integrates the access of Ethernet services on the SDH
transmission platform, so it can transmit both the voice service and data service.
1. EPL Service
EPL implements the point-to-point transparent transmission of Ethernet services. As
shown in Figure 6-1, the Ethernet services of different NEs are transmitted to the
destination node through their respective VC Trunks. The Ethernet service is provided
with a perfect SDH self-healing ring (SHR) protection scheme, and its reliable
transmission is thus guaranteed.

2. EVPL Service with VLAN Capability

EVPL services are isolated through VLAN tags during bandwidth sharing. As shown in
Figure 6-2, flow classification is performed for the Ethernet service according to the
port and VLAN ID to distinguish different VLANs of Company A and B. Up to eight
IEEE802.1P-compliant priorities can be set according to the flow classification result.
For security purpose, the OptiX OSN 3500 isolates services of different users by
VLAN. In the figure below, VLAN 1 of Company A shares a VC Trunk with VLAN 11 of
Company B, VLAN 2 of Company A shares a VC Trunk with VLAN 12 of Company B,
and VLAN 3 of Company A shares a VC Trunk with VLAN 13 of Company B.
All services of Company A are converged to NE1 and output from the FE/GE interface
of the NE1, and then are sent to the Lanswitch for further processing.

3. EVPL Service with MPLS Capability

The OptiX OSN 3500 adopts the Martini modes to construct the multi-protocol label
switching (MPLS) Layer 2 VPN and provide EVPL service.
The EVPL service offers point-to-point connection and implements service
convergence for users. As shown in Figure 6-3, the system will search the Port + Vlan
ID table for the external label (Tunnel) and internal label (VC), and add them to the
accessed Ethernet frames. Data transfer in the network is based on the MPLS label,
which switched at the label switch path (LSP). Then, the data will be transmitted to the
NE4 equipment, which strips the MPLS label and transfers the data to the
corresponding port. The OptiX OSN 3500 integrates the function of P equipment and
PE equipment.

4. EPLAN Service
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports Layer 2 switching of Ethernet data, i.e. the EPLAN

OptiX OSN 3500
service, which can be transferred according to their destination media access control
(MAC) addresses.
As shown in Figure 6-4, respective LANs of Company A and B are connected to four
NEs. The Ethernet service between the NEs is not of a fixed point-to-point type. For
example, a user of Company A connecting to NE3 may want to communicate with
users of Company A connecting to other three NEs. That is, the flow direction of
services is not definite. The Ethernet Layer 2 switching function provided by the OptiX
OSN 3500 can be employed to solve such a problem. For example, an Ethernet MAC
address transfer table will be formed in the system when the relevant settings are
made to NE3. The system can learn to periodically update the table. Then, the data of
Company A and B accessed at NE3 will be transmitted to their destinations over
different VC Trunks selected according to their MAC transfer table or over the same
VC Trunk.
In this way, the system configuration is significantly simplified and the bandwidth utility
is improved. In addition, the corresponding maintenance and management becomes
convenient for the operator.

5. EVPLAN Service
The OptiX OSN 3500 adopts the Martini MPLS Layer 2 VPN encapsulation format to
support the Ethernet virtual private LAN (EVPLAN) service.
EVPLAN service implements the multipoint-to-multipoint connection of user sites.
Users regard the EVPLAN network as a big VLAN where the user service can be
converged. As shown in Figure 6-5, when the user’s Ethernet frame (the source
address is MAC H, and the destination address is MAC A, B or C) enters the PE
equipment, the system will search the Layer 2 transfer table for the internal label (VC
label). Then, the frame is transferred to the corresponding tunnel, where it is attached
the external label (tunnel label). Thus, different LSPs are set up according to different
addresses. The MPLS labels are switched at the LSP and then transferred to the
corresponding PE equipment, where the tunnel and VC labels are stripped. After that,
the Ethernet frame is transferred to the corresponding output port according to the

6.1.3 Protection
The Ethernet service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several
levels, including:
! Protection of the spanning tree, LCAS and flow control
! Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP
1. LCAS
LCAS provides an error tolerance mechanism, enhancing the reliability of virtual
concatenation. It has the following functions:
! Configure the system capacity, add or reduce the number of VC involved in the
virtual concatenation and change the service bandwidth dynamically without
damaging the service.
! Protect and recover failed members.
As shown in Figure 6-6, LCAS can add or delete members to increase or decrease
the bandwidth dynamically without affecting the service.

As shown in Figure 6-7, LCAS can protect the Ethernet service. When some
members fail, the failed members will be deleted automatically while other members
remain transmitting data normally. When the failed members are available again, they
will be recovered automatically, and the data will be loaded to them again.

The Ethernet boards support spanning tree protocol (STP) and rapid spanning tree
protocol (RSTP). When STP is started, modify the logic network topology to avoid
broadcast storms.

3. Flow Control
The Ethernet interface supports IEEE 802.3X flow control, minimizing the packet loss
caused by congestion. As shown in Figure 6-8, the node connecting with Ethernet in
duplex mode sends a PAUSE frame to ask the receiving node to stop transmitting
frame signals within a pause-time (N seconds), so as to avoid frame loss.

6.2 RPR Features

This section introduces the RPR features of the OptiX OSN 3500 in terms of function,
application and protection.
6.2.1 Function
The EMR0 board of the OptiX OSN 3500 supports resilient packet ring (RPR) features
defined by IEEE 802.17. RPR employs a dual-ring structure utilizing a pair of
unidirectional counter-rotating rings, as shown in Figure 6-9. Both the outer ring and
the inner ring bear data packets and control packets, featuring high bandwidth
utilization. The control packets on the inner ring carry control information for the data
packets on the outer ring, and the control packets on the outer ring carry control
information for the data packets on the inner ring. The two rings backup and protect for
each other.

OptiX OSN 3500
3. Topology Discovery
The topology discovery function realizes the plug and play feature, for the function
provides reliable method to discover the network nodes and their variation. In this
case, the nodes of an RPR can be automatically added, deleted and switched.
There may be more than one EMR0 in equipment, so an NE may have more than one
RPR node. The plug and play feature allows adding or deleting nodes without
affecting the services on an RPR.
To increase or decrease the total bandwidth of an RPR, use the LCAS function. The
LCAS features adding and reducing bandwidth dynamically without affecting existing
services.
4. Spatial Reuse
The stripping of unicast frames at the destination station realizes spatial reuse on an
RPR. As shown in Figure 6-10, the bandwidth of a ring is 1.25 Gbit/s. Traffic 1
transferred from node 1 to node 4 is stripped from the ring at the destination node 4.
After the arrival of traffic 1 at node 4, traffic 2 can be transferred from node 4 to node 3,
by occupying the link capacity that would have been occupied by traffic 1 if it is not
stripped at node 4.

5. Fairness Algorithm
The outer ring and the inner ring of an RPR support independent weighted fairness
algorithm. The fairness algorithm assures access of the low-class B_EIR and C
services. The weight of the fairness algorithm is provisionable to decide the access
rate of a node. A node needs to set weights at the outer and the inner rings, and the
two weights decide the bandwidth of low-class services upon bandwidth contention.
As shown in Figure 6-11, the outer ring weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 are 1. Suppose the
available bandwidth on the outer ring for low-class services is 1.2 Gbit/s, the fairness
algorithm will allocate 400 Mbit/s for the low-class services from nodes 2, 3 and 4 to
node 1 respectively. Figure 6-12 shows a fairness algorithm with different weights: the
weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 on the outer ring are 1, 3 and 2 respectively. The fairness
6-11
OptiX OSN 3500
algorithm allocates 200 Mbit/s for node 2, 600 Mbit/s for node 3 and 400 Mbit/s for
node 4.

6.2.2 Application
The EMR0 board supports the application of EVPL and EVPLAN services.
1. EVPL
The EVPL service supports traffic classification based on port or port + VLAN, and
encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the form of MPLS MartiniOE. Figure 6-13
illustrates the accessing, forwarding and stripping of a unidirectional EVPL service.
Node 2 inserts Tunnel and VC labels to the packet, sends it to the RPR. Node 3
forwards the packet and the destination node 4 strips it. Figure 6-14 illustrates the

2. EVPLAN
The EVPLAN service supports traffic classification based on port or port + VLAN, and
encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the form of MPLS VMAN. The EVPLAN
service is realized by creating virtual bridge (VB) in the board. Each board may have
up to 32 VBs, each of which has 16 logic ports. VB supports source MAC address
learning and static MAC route configuration. Figure 6-15 shows an example of
EVPLAN service. The VB of each node determines the forward port of packets
through address learning, rpr1 is the port to access packets to the RPR. For node 1, if
6-13
OptiX OSN 3500
the destination address is A1, the packet is forwarded through port 1; if the destination
is A2, the packet is forwarded through port 2. If the destination is B1, B2 or C1, the
packet is forwarded through port rpr1 to the RPR, added a VMAN label 100. Node 2
forwards packets in the same way.

6.2.3 Protection
The RPR service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several levels,
including:
! Wrap and Steering
! Spanning tree and LCAS
! Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP
1. Wrap
If an equipment or facility failure is detected, the traffic is wrapped back to the opposite
direction at the stations adjacent to the failure, connecting the outer ring with the inner
ring. The protection switching time is less than 50ms. Though featuring fast protection
switching, wrap protection wastes bandwidth. As illustrated in Figure 6-16, traffic is
transferred from node 4 to node 1 through nodes 3 and 2. If there is a fiber cut
between node 2 and node 3, they will wrap the traffic and connect the two rings
together for protection.

2. Steering
For steering protection, a station shall not wrap a failed segment when a failure is
detected. Instead, the source node will send traffic to the destination through a route
avoiding the failed link. The protection switching time is less than 50ms. The steering
protection does not waste bandwidth, but it needs longer switching time and some
data before setting up a route may be lost. Figure 6-17 illustrates an example of
steering protection. Node 4 sends traffic to node 1 on the outer ring through nodes 3
and 2. If there is a fiber cut between node 2 and node 3, the topology discovery
function can help the traffic be transferred to node 1 over the inner ring through nodes
5 and 6.

3. Spanning Tree and LCAS

The EMR0 supports spanning tree protocol (STP) and rapid spanning tree protocol
(RSTP). When STP is started, modify the logic network topology to avoid potential
broadcast storm.
LCAS can add and reduce the bandwidth dynamically, as well as protect the
bandwidth.
For details about spanning tree and LCAS, refer to “6.1 Ethernet”.

6.3 ATM Features

This section describes the ATM features of the OptiX OSN 3500 in terms of functions,
application, and protection.
6.3.1 Functions
The OptiX OSN 3500 provides two kinds of ATM processing boards, ADL4 and ADQ1.
An ADL4 board can access and process one STM-4 ATM service and an ADQ1 board
can access and process four STM-4 ATM services. When working with the PL3/PD3
board, the ADL4 board or ADQ1 board can access and process E3 ATM services.
The functions of the two boards are listed in Table 6-4.

1. Supportable Services and Traffic Types
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and UBR services rather than
6-17
OptiX OSN 3500
ABR services. CBR services apply to voice services, as well as video services and
circuit simulation services of a constant bit rate. These services require guaranteed
transmission bandwidth and latency. Rt-VBR services apply to audio and video
services of a variable bit rate. Nrt-VBR services are mainly used for data transmission.
UBR services are generally used for LAN simulation and file transmission. In terms of
the supported service and traffic types, the OptiX OSN 3500 meets IETF RFC2514,
ATM Forum TM 4.0 and ATM Forum UNI 3.1 recommendations, as shown in the Table
6-5.

Note: The OptiX OSN products do not support the number 8 traffic type, which is for ABR services.
2. Application of Band Exclusive ATM Services

When the bandwidth is not shared, ATM services at the source and sink NEs are only
processed at the ATM layer through the ATM service processing board. On
intermediate NEs, only SDH timeslot pass-through is performed, without ATM layer
processing. In this case, each ATM service has the whole VC-3/VC-4 channel to itself.
The ATM services are converged at the central node and then multiplexed to an
STM-1 or STM-4 optical port for output. As shown in the Figure 6-18, the 34 Mbit/s
ATM services of NE1 and NE3 each occupy a VC-3 bandwidth. The 155 Mbit/s ATM
service of NE2 occupies a VC-4 bandwidth alone. SDH timeslot pass-through is only
6-18
OptiX OSN 3500
performed at NE3. After they reach the central site NE4, they are converged through
the ATM board and output through the 622 Mbit/s optical interface.

3. Application of Band-Shared ATM Services

In shared rings VR-Ring and VC-Ring, the ATM services share the same bandwidth
and are multiplexed statistically. The ATM services on each NE share the same VC
(VC-3, VC-4, or VC-Xv) and are all processed on ATM layer. As shown in the Figure
6-19, NE1 accesses E3 ATM traffic through the tributary board and sends it to the ATM
board for ATM switching and protection (1+1/1:1) configuration. Then the traffic is
encapsulated into VC-4-Xv and sent to the line through the cross-connect board. NE2
accesses STM-1 ATM traffic through the optical interface and then implements ATM
switching and protection configuration. The ATM traffic from NE1 is also dropped at
NE2 for ATM layer processing. Then the locally accessed traffic and that from NE1 are
encapsulated into the same VC-4-Xv and sent to the next NE. The same goes at NE3
and NE4. A single VP/VC-Ring can have a maximum bandwidth of 300 Mbit/s.

6.3.3 Protection
The ATM service of the OptiX OSN equipment is protected on many layers, including:
! Protection on the ATM layer
! Protection on the optical transmission layer, such as MSP, and SNCP.
1. Protection on the ATM layer

Compliant with ITU-T Recommendation I.630, protection on the ATM layer can be
classified into many types according to different classification method, as shown in the
Table 6-6. You can select the configuration as required, for example, 1+1 bidirectional
non-revertive protection”.
Table 6-6 Classification of ATM protection
Classification mode Types
Bridging function 1+1 protection/1:1 protection

Connection level VPC protection/VCC protection
Protection domain Trail protection/Subnetwork connection protection
Revertiblility Revertive protection/Non-revertive protection
Protected object Single connection protection/Group connection protection
6-20
OptiX OSN 3500
2. Protection on the optical transmission layer

The ATM service is also protected by the self-healing network on the optical
transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP. You can set the hold-off time for ATM
protection switching. When network impairment occurs, the MSP or SNCP on lower
layers can be switched first, thus achieving the protection of working ATM service (in
this case, the protection switching on the ATM layer will not be activated).

Technical Manual - System Description 7 Intelligent Features
7 Intelligent Features
To help our customers have an overall understanding of the intelligent optical network,
this chapter introduces the intelligent features and applications of the OptiX OSN
3500.
7.1 Intelligent Features
" Note:
The intelligent software system is to be purchased and installed additionally for the
OptiX OSN 3500.
The OptiX OSN 3500 provides a set of stand-alone intelligent software system that is
quite convenient and flexible in use in dynamic bandwidth allocation, intelligent route
finding and configuration of services. The bandwidth availability using the OptiX OSN
3500 is improved.
The OptiX OSN 3500:
! Supports service level agreement (SLA).
! Supports automatically configure the end-to-end service.

! Provides traffic engineering control to guarantee the load-balance traffic network
wide and improve the bandwidth availability.
! Provides distributed mesh network protections through real-time rerouting or a
preconfigured route; support span protection and end-to-end service protection,
improving the scalability of the network.
7-1
OptiX OSN 3500
7.2 Intelligent Service Request

The optical network is evolving from an integrated network providing transmission
paths only to a service operation network. The intelligent feature provides users with
various high-quality bandwidth applications and services: lease and wholesale
bandwidth, bandwidth business, traffic engineering, SLA.
7.2.1 SLA Service
1. Classification Principle of SLA Service
The SLA service can be classified into multiple levels in terms of protection (service
with high level, service with medium level, re-routed service, non-protected service
and extra service, and so on). Charges for services at different levels are different,
thus demands of different users can be satisfied flexibly. Principle for classifying
services is as follows:
! Service priority: Provided with 1+1 protection or alike, with the switching time of
0–20ms.
! Service priority: Provided with M:N protection and alike (for example, two-fiber
MSP), with the switching time of 0–50ms.
! Re-routed service: Real-time re-calculates the path, with the switching time from
100ms to several seconds.
! Non-protected service: Provided with no protection at fault occurrence.
! Extra service: Pre-empted by services with higher priorities when the network
resource is insufficient.
2. SLA-Based Protection at Different Service Levels

With the SLA service provided, the OptiX OSN 3500 enables the operators to win
more customers in a differential market with better service and lower cost.
Table 7-1 Differential protection for service at different levels
Service level Protection level Service quality
Diamond High level protection The quality of services listed in the
left column grows higher from
Gold Medium level protection bottom to top.
Silver Re-routing protection
Copper Not protected
Iron Pre-emptable
Service of diamond level is to meet demands of users such as banks, securities,

important government offices, and so on. Service of gold level is to satisfy the
demands for speech, multimedia and video. Service of silver level is applicable to
common data service transmission. Services of copper and iron levels are suitable for
applications such as family network access.
As shown in Figure 7-1, for the service of diamond level, a path ring (dotted line) is
pre-defined for an end-to-end protected service between a source node and a
destination node. The service is dual fed at the source node and selected at the
destination node according to the QoS. The bidirectional service is similar. In normal
7-2
OptiX OSN 3500
conditions, the receiving end receives service from the upper dotted line side. When a
failure occurs to the link or node, the service will be switched to the lower dotted line
side for receiving.
You can also select not to pre-define the path ring, but to calculate two end-to-end
paths (which are not intersecting) from the edge node of the optical network. In such a
case, the service is dual fed at the head end and selectively received at the tail end,
thus guaranteeing the service of diamond level.
The receive node

selects the traffic
The source node sends the dual

traffic on rings
Figure 7-1 Networking protection for service of diamond level
For service of gold level, the logical virtual multiplex section (MS) ring must be
pre-defined. As shown in Figure 7-2, the bandwidth of Ring 1, Ring 2 and virtual ring
are specified as the user demands. They can be part of the maximum bandwidth of
the optical fiber. Half timeslots of the MS ring are used to protect another half timeslots.
To provide service with medium level with M:N protection, the edge node of the optical
network calculates which virtual MS ring that each link of the service trail belongs to.
By doing so, a rapid MSP switching can be guaranteed at any link or node failure on
the service path. As shown in Figure 7-2, all links of the end-to-end service path
belong to either Ring 1 or Ring 2. If one node fails, as shown in the figure, service on
Ring 2 can be switched to the protection path of the ring rapidly.
Protection path of the ring
Ring2
Ring1
Figure 7-2 Protection for service of gold level
For service of silver level, upon failure occurrence the path of the service is
re-calculated after the convergence of the topology. As the network convergence is
time-consuming, the service damaging or interruption time in re-routing is longer than
7-3
OptiX OSN 3500
the switching time for the above two services.

Compared with the two services described above, the advantage of the silver service
lies in that it does not need bandwidth reservation for recovery, thus much improving
the bandwidth availability. As shown in Figure 7-3, when the service link fails, a new
path will be found out to recover the service.
There are two modes for re-routing: revertive and non-revertive. If the service is
restored to the original path when the fault is removed, it is in revertive mode; if not, it
is in non-revertive mode.
Re-calculated path
Figure 7-3 Application of silver level
Provision of multiple-leveled services inherits merit of fast protection switching of the

SDH ring network on the one hand, and takes fully advantages of bandwidth
availability of the mesh network on the other hand.
7.2.2 Automatic End-to-End Service Configuration
The end-to-end service can be rapidly generated and protected by some simple
operations listed below through the NM.
! Select source node.
! Select destination node.
! Select desired bandwidth.
! Select service level.
! Auto-establish service connection.
7.2.3 Mesh Networking
Compared with the ring network, the mesh network takes advantages of bandwidth
availability, network scalability, and survivability. This network topology is suitable for
the area with large and evenly distributed traffic. Mesh network achieves a higher
reliability because there are multiple routes available between two nodes. This
effectively protects the traffic against node congestion and node failure. The one
shown in Figure 7-3 is a mesh networking configuration.
7.2.4 Traffic Engineering
The traffic engineering control technique of the OptiX OSN 3500 allows a
load-balance traffic networkwide for convenient network planning and improved
bandwidth availability.

As shown in Figure 7-4, the intelligent network featuring traffic engineering control
can:
! Route not to the congested path and node.
! Route not to the high-risk path and node.
! Automatically make load-balance traffic networkwide.
! Share the service load.
7.2.5 Integrated Intelligent Service Request
Generally, the intelligent service of the OptiX OSN 3500 is an application that
integrates the above intelligent features, including SLA, traffic engineering, mesh
networking and configuration of end-to-end service on the NM.
! Dynamically apply service (SLA-supporting).
! Configure end-to-end service on the NM system.
! Calculate requirement-satisfying best service path based on traffic engineering.
Main technology adopted: CSPF.
! Establish general MPLS (GMPLS) signaling connection on the service path. Main
technology adopted: resource reservation setup protocol with traffic-engineering
extensions (RSVP-TE) and constrained route - label distribution protocol
(CR-LDP).

Technical Manual - System Description 8 Protection
8 Protection
This chapter describes the complete protection schemes, at the equipment level and
network level, provided by the OptiX OSN 3500. It covers:
! Equipment level protection
! Network level protection

8.1 Equipment Level Protection
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the following protection schemes at the equipment
level:
! TPS protection for service processing boards
! 1+1 hot backup for cross-connect unit and timing unit
! 1+1 hot backup for the SCC unit
! 1+1 hot backup for the power input unit
! Protection for the Wavelength Conversion Unit
! 1:N protection for the +3.3 V board power supply
! Intelligent fans
! Abnormality-specific service protection
8.1.1 TPS Protection for Service Processing Boards
The OptiX OSN 3500 provides 1:N TPS protection for the PQ1, PQM, PL3, PD3,
SPQ4, SEP1 and EFS0 boards through electrical interface protection. That is, it
provides TPS protection for the E1, T1, E3, T3, E4, STM-1 and Ethernet services
! E1 processing board PQ1 supports one 1:N (N≤8) TPS protection group.
! E1/T1 processing board PQM supports one 1:N (N≤8) TPS protection group.
! E3/T3 processing board PD3/PL3 supports two 1:N (N≤3) TPS protection groups.
! E4/STM-1 processing board SPQ4 supports two 1:N (N≤3) TPS protection groups.
! STM-1 processing board SEP1 supports two 1:N (N≤3) TPS protection groups.
! Ethernet processing board EFS0 supports two 1:1 TPS protection groups.
8-1
OptiX OSN 3500
! Co-existence of the above three different TPS protection groups.

8.1.2 1+1 Hot Backup for Cross-Connect Unit and Timing Unit
The cross-connect unit and the timing unit are provided by the GXCS/EXCS/UXCS
boards. The GXCS/EXCS/UXCS boards employ 1+1 hot backup for protecting the
cross-connect unit and the timing unit at the same time. When the active
cross-connect and timing units are working normally, the standby ones are in standby
working mode, neither undertaking the service cross-connection function nor
providing timing to the system. They have the same cross-connect matrix setting and
clock configuration as the active units. When the standby units receive the information
indicating abnormal performance of the active units or a switching command sent by
the NM, they will immediately take over the job of the active units, setting themselves
into the active working mode and sending out a switchover alarm.
8.1.3 1+1 Hot Backup for the SCC Unit
The SCC unit of the OptiX OSN 3500 has 1+1 hot backup protection. The standby
SCC unit is in standby working mode when the active one is working normally.
8.1.4 1+1 Hot Backup for the Power Input Unit
Through the two PIU boards, the OptiX OSN 3500 can access two –48 V DC working
power supplies that work in backup mode. If either of them goes faulty, the other will
operate to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
8.1.5 Protection for the Wavelength Conversion Unit
The arbitrary bit rate wavelength conversion unit LWX includes two types: one is
single-fed single receiving, and the other is dual-fed signal selection.
The dual-fed signal selection LWX supports intra-board protection, realizing optical
channel protection with one board. The protection switching time is less than 50ms.
The single-fed single receiving LWX supports inter-board protection, that is, 1+1
inter-board hot backup protection. The protection switching time is less than 50ms.
8.1.6 1:N Protection for the +3.3 V Board Power Supply
The OptiX OSN 3500 provides 1:N power backup for the +3.3 V power supplies of
other boards through the power backup unit on the AUX board. When the power
supply of a board becomes faulty, the backup power takes over to ensure normal
operation of that board.
8.1.7 Intelligent Fans
For heat dissipation, the OptiX OSN 3500 adopts three intelligent fans in the fan unit.
The power supplies for the fans serve as backup for each other.
The intelligent fans provide stepless speed regulation and failure detection. Once one
goes faulty, the other two operate at their full speeds. The running status of the fans
can be indicated by the corresponding indicators on the front panel of the fan unit.
8.1.8 Abnormality-Specific Service Protection
1. Power Failure in Software Loading Process
Application program and data have the check function. In the case the loading is
interrupted, the basic input/output system (BIOS) will not start the unfinished program
and data until they are successfully loaded.
8-2
OptiX OSN 3500
2. Over-Voltage and Under-Voltage Protection

The power board is designed with a lightning protection component to effectively
reduce the damages that may be possibly caused by transient high-voltage such as
lightning. When the voltage is over low, this board will automatically reset the center
processing unit (CPU) and the software will re-initialize the chips. The software will
provide a mirror protection for important memories that may affect the services. In the
case the voltage is not stable, which causes the memory value to change, the values
can be recovered to normal. In addition, when the voltage is too low, the power system
will automatically cut off the active power to protect the system.
3. Board Temperature Check

Temperature detection circuit is provided on the boards that generate much heat.
When the ambient temperature is detected too high, an alarm is generated to remind
the maintenance personnel to clean the fans.

8.2.2 SDH Trail Protection

The OptiX OSN 3500 can implement the linear MSP and the MS ring protection.
1. Linear MSP
Linear MSP is mainly used in the chain network. The OptiX OSN 3500 supports 1+1
and 1:N (N≤14) protection schemes. In the 1:N protection mode, extra services are
supported to be transmitted on the protection system. In the linear MSP scheme, the
switching time is less than 50ms as specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.841.
2. MS Ring Protection
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports two-fiber MS shared protection ring, with the switching
time less than 50ms, as specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.841.
In line with ITU-T Recommendation G.841, the OptiX OSN 3500 supports four-fiber
MS shared protection ring, which provides ring switching and span switching in
addition to the similar functions of the two-fiber bidirectional MSP.
8.2.3 SDH SNCP

Figure 8-2 Fiber-shared virtual trail protection
As shown in Figure 8-2, in the fiber-shared virtual trail protection, STM-16, STM-4, or
even STM-1 optical paths are logically divided into low order and high order paths, and
combined with other links to form the path-level rings. The path-level rings can have
protection schemes path protection (PP), MSP, SNCP, and no protection (NP).
8.2.6 MS-Shared Optical Path Protection
In the MS-shared optical path protection, an optical interface can be configured with
multiple MSP groups, so that MS rings protection can share the same fiber and optical
interface. This function is conditioned on the optical board’s capability of processing
multiple sets of independent K bytes. SL64 and SL16 of the OptiX OSN 3500 support
a maximum of two shared optical paths.
Figure 8-3 shows the networking for two-fiber MS-shared optical path protection that
the OptiX OSN 3500 supports.
