ZXMSG 5200 system features are as follows:
Abundant ZXMSG 5200 completely meets public telecommunication and
Service private networks requirements. ZXMSG 5200 also provides
Interfaces broadband subscriber interfaces. These interfaces are used for
broadband service configuration according to subscribers'
requirements.
High The system size is smaller. Network architecture and
Integration configuration are simple and suitable for local network
optimization.
Active/standby The system provides mutual backup for power supplies and
Mode active/standby backup for ICS cards. ZXMSG 5200 has two ICS
cards at each layer of subscriber shelf and only one is in the
active mode at a time. The one which is in the active status is
called the active, while the other one is called the standby. In
case of failure of the active card, the standby card takes over
the system control. This process is active/standby switching,
which keeps the whole system running from being affected and
greatly improves the system reliability and stability.
Capabilities The system capabilities are as follows:
„ Ethernet convergence, switching, and Ethernet L2 protocol
processing
„ Interfaces for broadband services such as IP/xDSL
„ PSTN/ISDN subscriber line test and DSL subscriber line test

Ethernet The whole system is based on a uniform Ethernet switching
Switching platform. It implements switching of three data flows:
„ Intra-module control information
„ H.248 protocol
„ RTP data
This Ethernet unit is totally private, not connected to any
external Ethernet, and outgoing data flows pass through the
CNIC egress uniformly to ensure security.
VoIP Function MPR/MPRB card converts voice signals into IP packets.
Uplink Ports ZXMSG 5200 supports 100 Mbps (FE) and 1000 Mbps (GE)
Ethernet interfaces at the IP network side, which are used as
egresses for narrowband media flow, H.248 protocol flow,
network signal flow and broadband data flow. These four data
flows can be flexibly configured on any uplink Ethernet port.

Media Gateway Control


Protocol (Megaco/H.248)
Introduction The Media Gateway Control Protocol (Megaco) is a result of joint
efforts of the IETF and the ITU-T Study Group. Therefore, the
IETF defined Megaco is the same as ITU-T Recommendation
H.248.
Functions Megaco/H.248 addresses the relationship between the Media
Gateway (MG), which converts circuit-switched voice to packet-
based traffic. Megaco/H.248 instructs Media Gateway, to connect
Packet Data Network (PDN) packet stream to Real-Time
Transport Protocol (RTP) packet. Megaco/H.248 architecture is
similar to Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) and the
controller-to-gateway relationship, but Megaco/H.248 supports a
broader range of networks, such as ATM.
There are two basic components in Megaco/H.248: terminations
and contexts. Terminations represent streams entering or
leaving the MG such as analog telephone lines, RTP streams, or
MP3 streams. Terminations have properties, such as the
maximum size of a jitter buffer, which can be inspected and
modified by the Media Gateway Controller (MGC).
Terminations are placed into contexts, when two or more
termination streams are mixed and connected together.
Contexts are created and released by the MG under command of
the MGC. A context is created by adding the first termination,
and it is released by removing (Subtracting) the last termination.
For more than one stream termination, context provides multi-
stream context. Audio, video, and data streams may exist in a
context among several terminations.
Protocol Structure - Megaco/H.248 (Media Gateway Control
Protocol)
MMegaco/H.24 Megaco/H.248 uses a series of commands to manipulate
8 Commands terminations, contexts, events, and signals. The following is a
list of the commands:
1. Add - The Add command adds a termination to a context.
The Add command on the first Termination in a Context is
used to create a Context.
2. Modify - The Modify command modifies the properties,
events, and signals of a termination.

12 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION


Chapter 2 System Description

3. Subtract - The Subtract command disconnects a Termination


from its Context and returns statistics on the Termination's
participation in the Context. The Subtract command on the
last Termination in a Context deletes the Context.
4. Move - The Move command atomically moves a Termination
to another context.
5. Audit - The Audit command returns the current state of
properties, events, signals, and statistics of Terminations.
6. Notify - The Notify command allows the Media Gateway to
inform the Media Gateway Controller of the occurrence of
events in the Media Gateway.

ADSL Service
Introduction ADSL technology is asymmetric. It allows more downstream
bandwidth from central office to customer site than upstream.
Asymmetry, combined with always-on access (eliminating the
call setup), makes ADSL ideal for internet/intranet surfing,
video-on-demand, and remote LAN access. These application
users can download much more information than they upload.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 33


ZXMSG 5200 (V2.0.2) Multiplex Service Gateway Technical Manual

Functions ADSL rates expand existing access capacity by a factor of 50 or


more without new cabling. ADSL can literally transform the
existing public information network from one limited to voice,
text, and low-resolution graphics to a powerful system capable
of bringing multimedia, including full motion video to every
home.

ADSL2+ Service
Introduction ADSL2+ is a new generation of ADSL broadband service access
technology. It doubles the bandwidth used to carry downstream
data.
Functions ADSL2+ provides 24 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream.
ADSL2+ uses high frequency up to 2.2 MHz. ADSL2+ applies to
transmission with asymmetric rate. It delivers speed up to 20
times faster than the typical broadband services over copper line
networks. ZXMSG 5200 provides ADSL 2+ service.

„ Higher rate
„ Longer transmission distance
„ Lower power consumption
„ Stable running and frequency compatibility
„ Line diagnosis function
„ Better networking
Operation ADSL2+ supports three operation modes.

„ annex A:
This mode uses ADSL over POTS, with POTS service on same
lines pair.
„ annex B:
This mode uses ADSL over ISDN, with ISDN service on same
lines pair.
„ annex C:
This ADSL service works with TCM-ISDN interference.

ZXMSG 5200 (V2.0.2) Multiplex Service Gateway Technical Manual

Besides the above three modes, ADSL2+ also supports following


three modes below. Frequency band is further divided into
smaller sub-bands.
„ annex I:
It is compatible to complete digital mode of ADSL over POTS
(annex A) frequency spectrum. The available uplink band can
be expanded from 3 kHz to 138 kHz if there is no POTS
service on line. It supports 31 sub-bands at the maximum.
The maximum uplink rate exceeds 1 Mbps.
„ annex J:
It is compatible to the complete digital mode of ADSL over
ISDN (annex B) frequency spectrum. The available uplink
band can be expanded from 3 kHz to 276 kHz if there is no
ISDN service on the line. It supports 64 sub-bands at the
maximum. The utmost uplink rate reaches to 2.3 Mbps.
„ annex M:
It is ADSL over POTS with the expanded uplink bandwidth.
The uplink sub-band starts from 6. The sub-bands end at 32,
36, 40, 44 to 63 according to different bandwidth
requirements. The total transmission power keeps the same,
only the sub-band distribution is different. In this way, 3
Mbps uplink rate is available. For the downlink, the frequency
is overlap and non-overlap similar to annex B.
Higher Rate Compared with ADSL, ADSL2+ supports higher rate, wider
frequency and more sub-bands (512 sub-bands). The maximum
downlink rate can reach to 24 Mbps. If ADSL2 annex J is used,
the uplink rate is increased to 2.3 Mbps.
Longer ADSL2+ supports longer transmission distance. For ADSL, the
Transmission longest transmission distance is less than 6 km. For ADSL2+,
Distance the longest transmission distance is 6.5 km.
Low Power ADSL2+ provides power management function as follows:
Consumption
„ Reduce the noise tolerance beyond requirements by
decreasing transmission power consumption. Decrease
useless power consumption on precondition of ensuring
stable operation.
„ Add the low consumption mode L2 mode. Decrease the
transmission power consumption in case that no subscriber
data is transmitted. Ensure the necessary power
consumption for transmitting required management message
and synchronous signal. Resume the power consumption
when subscriber data transmits. The power consumption of
MSAG 5200 is about 30% of that in usual operation when it
is running in L2 mode.
„ The central office (CO) and customer premises equipment
(CPE) of ADSL2+ has the power cut back function. The
power attenuation ranges from 0 dB to 40 dB. The
transmission power consumption can be effectively cut down

when the transmission power is too large, ensuring the


normal receiving of data.
Stable Running ADSL2+ has more stable running and frequency compatibilities,
and Frequency which are as follows:
Compatibility
„ Receiver decides carrier sequence and pilot tone upon the
channel analysis. Its results can truly reflect the channel
situation and select the best tone as pilot which is useful to
stable ADSL connection.
„ The receiver can test RFI distribution by RFI closing tone
channels or controls the transmit power of tone through CO-
MIB. It effectively avoids RFI and reduces the interference on
ambient devices.
„ Fine dynamic adaptability.
„ The bit swapping and line rate changes dynamically
enhancing the adaptability to changeable line parameters.
„ Less time to resume connection from faults.
Line Diagnosis ADSL2+ supports test function at both ends. The following
Function parameter can be tested:
„ Line transmission feature
„ Background noise power spectrum
„ Signal-noise ratio of each sub-band
„ Noise tolerance and bearable bits of each sub-band
Better Based on different functions, ADSL2+ classifies ADSL
Networking transceivers into TPS-TC (transmission protocol related
convergence sub-layer), PMS-TC (physical medium related
convergence sub-layer), PMD (physical medium related sub-
layer), and MPS-TC (management protocol related convergence
sub-layer, used for NM interface). Encapsulating each sub-layer
and defining the message among sub-layers helps implementing
networking of various devices from different factories.

VDSL Service
Introduction VDSL (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line) provides high-
bandwidth access, applying to the transmission with symmetric
rate and asymmetric rate. VDSL transmits high-speed data
through the existing subscriber telephone line. It provides voice,
video and data through multimedia network.
Functions VDSL transmits voice and data service simultaneously on the
same subscriber line with the Frequency Division Multiplexing
(FDM) mode. At the both ends of subscriber lines, splitter
separates the voice signal from the data signal. The VDSL band
is independent of POTS service band, therefore has no influence
on POTS service and network distribution. VDSL band is divided
into the uplink band and the downlink band. In addition, it has a

26, 2001), YD/T 1239-2002 (AN Requirement) are VDSL
standards compliant with industrial and international
standards.

SHDSL Service
Introduction SHDSL technology provides high-speed symmetric data service
on a single pair or two pairs of twisted pairs. SHDSL technology
can transport data symmetrically at data rates from 192 Kbps to
2,320 Kbps or 2.3 Mbps. SHDSL utilizes a single copper wire pair,
making it an affordable DSL option attractive to small businesses.
Functions ZXMSG 5200 also provides SDL card to support the SHDSL
(based on ATM). Each SDL card provides 16 SHDSL ports.
Subscriber information is converted into IP packets to transmit

over an IP network. They are connected to the uplink via the


ZXMSG 5200 FE/GE interfaces.
Features SHDSL features are as follows:
„ SHDSL supports symmetrical data across a single pair of
copper wire at data rates from 192 kbps to 2.3 Mbps or 384
kbps to 4.6 Mbps.
„ Maximum transmission distance is 3 km to 6 km.
„ ITU recommends G.991.2 and ANSI T1E1.4/2001-174 as
SHDSL standards.

Ethernet Service
Introduction Ethernet service feature high bandwidth and less delay. Ethernet
has survived as the major LAN technology (it is currently used
for approximately 85 percent of the world's LAN-connected PCs
and workstations).
Functions Ethernet is used for UTP-5 medium-based 100BaseTx Ethernet
equipment access.
Standards Ethernet refers to a Local Area Network (LAN) family. IEEE
802.3 is Ethernet compliant standard that defines CSMA/CD
protocol. Ethernet twisted-pair cable defines four data rates for
operation as listed below:
„ 10 Mbps Ethernet
„ 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
„ 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
„ 10,000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
Features Ethernet features are as follows:
„ Transmission distance less than 100 m
„ Easy to implement and manage
„ Low cost for network implementation
„ More flexible for network installation than the other
technology.

VLAN Service
Introduction Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) creates virtual workgroups by
dividing LAN logically, not physically, into different network
segments. VLAN is a broadcast domain. LAN and routers limit
broadcasts to the domain of origin.
Functions Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is established on the
switching technology. VLAN sends data ‘intentionally’ through
the switch and divides logical subnets flexibly while the

ZXMSG 5200 (V2.0.2) Multiplex Service Gateway Technical Manual

traditional LAN restricts the sites to its physical network. Figure


16 shows the basic VLAN adds another tag to the normal
Ethernet frame.

FIGURE 16 – VL AN CONCEPT

Communication The communications between VLANs are through access and


trunk link.
„ Access link:
An access link is a member of only one VLAN. In most case,
access link is linked with the client station.
„ Trunk link:
Trunk link is also called Tagged Link, This kind of port can
support multi-VLAN communication. A trunk link is capable of
carrying multiple VLANs. The data frames on the trunk link
are identified by using indicator.
VLAN Tag Explicit and implicit tag:
When frames are transmitted on network, a mean is required to
identify the VLAN to which a frame belongs. The mean is to add
VLAN tags. Switch sends the frame only to its belonging VLAN.
When a bridge receives data, it labels the data with a VLAN tag
to indicate the data source. This tag is called explicit tag.
Implicit tag mode is used for specific VLAN source for the data.
With implicit tag, data is not tagged and source VLAN of data is
specified in other modes (for example the port).
„ Tag header:
The frame with a tag is called a tag frame, it has a tag
header. Figure 17 shows the tag header format, including
two-byte Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) and two-byte Tag

40 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION


Chapter 3 Service Functions

Control Information (TCI). The TPID indicates a tag header.


The TCI includes subscriber priority, Canonical Format
Indicator (CFI) and VLAN ID. The 3-bit subscriber priority is
in a scale of 8, where 0 is the lowest and 7 the highest. The
CFI bit indicates whether the MAC address in the MAC data
field is a standard format, where CFI=0 indicates standard
format, while CFI=1 indicates non-standard formats. The VID
field indicates the VLAN ID to which the frame belongs, and
has a maximum number of 4095.

VLAN ID and VLAN ID and PVID description:


PVID
„ VLAN ID:
Indicates the VLAN identifier, such as VLAN 1 and VLAN 2.
„ PVID:
Indicates the default port’s VLAN ID. When the received
frame is tagged, the PVID does not take effect because the
VLAN ID is contained in the tag. When the received frame is
not tagged, the PVID takes effect and is used as VLAN ID.
Therefore, when the received frame is not tagged, PVID is
configured in VLAN port configuration.
VLAN Based ZXMSG 5200 supports the following VLAN features:
Functions
„ VLAN based on IEEE 802.1Q:
The IEEE 802.1Q standards define an operation called
tagging, that binds a 4-byte tag domain to destination and
source addresses of an Ethernet frame. This tag domain
includes a VLAN identity called VLAN ID. ‘VLAN based on
IEEE 802.1Q’ means distinguishing between VLANs according
to the VLAN ID marked in an Ethernet frame and is generally
used when there are multiple VLANs cross multiple devices.
ZXMSG 5200 system supports identification of tagged
messages and tagging of non-tagged messages. Figure 18
shows the tag 802.1Q identification method.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 41


ZXMSG 5200 (V2.0.2) Multiplex Service Gateway Technical Manual

FIGURE 18 – 8021.Q IDENTIFICATION METHODS

„ VLAN trunking:
The VLANs can communicate with each other via the trunking
connection between the two switches using the router. It
allows multiple VLANs on one port or a group of ports. It
allows a single network adapter to behave as ‘n’ number of
virtual network adapters. ‘n’ has a theoretical upper limit of
4096 but is typically limited to 1000 VLAN network
segments.
To implement VLAN trunking different 802.1Q tags are affix
to the same port or same group of ports. The messages of
different VLANs are identified and VLAN interconnection is
possible.
„ SVLAN:
SVLAN solves the 4096 VLAN limitation. It allows a stack of
two or more 802.1Q headers to be carried in an Ethernet
frame. The number of VLANs is extended to more than 16
million (4096 * 4096). At the same time multiple VLANs can
be multiplexed within a single core VLAN (the top .1Q tag).
Spanning Tree expansion allows fast convergence (in the
order of 1 sec). However, SVLANs only provide a partial
solution. If customers are given the option to define their
own VLAN ID spaces, the core of the network remains limited
to 4096 VLANs. Figure 19 explains the SVLAN concept.

Multicast Service
Introduction Multicast refers to point-to-multipoint communication in the
network. The multicast technology implements the point-to-
multipoint effective data transmission in the network. The core
of multicast technology is to copy the packet as close to receiver
as possible.
Functions Source host just sends one data frame whose destination
address is address of the multicast group. All receivers in the
multicast group can receive same data frame copy. Other hosts
in network cannot receive the data except host (destination host)
in the multicast group. The multicast group is identified with
Type D IP address (224.0.0.0 ~ 239.255.255.255).
Features Multicast features are as follows:
„ Lightens the server load. Server does not need to process
request of each subscriber.
„ Saves the network bandwidth.
„ Minimizes the network equipment requirements.
„ Multiple subscribers can access same service.
Multicast ZXMSG 5200 system supports following modes:
Modes
„ IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping
„ IGMP Proxy
„ IGMP Router

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 43


ZXMSG 5200 (V2.0.2) Multiplex Service Gateway Technical Manual

IGMP Snooping In Snooping mode, the system is not responsible for


management on status of multicast member. It just implements
IGMP message snooping and forwarding passively. It has a little
influence on the system load. However, it greatly increases
protocol processing load of the uplink equipment.
IGMP Proxy In Proxy mode, the system manages status of multicast member
actively, efficiently reducing the protocol load of the uplink
device.
IGMP Router Router mode is a simplified proxy mode. In case that multicast
service is directly sent to the uplink port, the system does not
require uplink port for multicast service dynamically.

EPON Service
Introduction EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) is combination of some
optimal technologies and network architectures. Video on
demand and other ‘triple-play’ services of video, voice and data
require the provision of high bandwidth residential services
directly to consumers. Passive Optical Networks are the next
step beyond DSL and cable modems, delivering very high-speed
services to consumers over an all-optical access network.
Functions EPON provides following functions:
„ EPON function card provides fiber access based on EPON
technology.
„ Single PON port supports 32 branches (20 KM) and 64
branches (<5 KM).
„ Downlink wavelength is 1490 nm, uplink wavelength is 1310
nm and CATV wavelength is 1550 nm.
„ VoIP services, CATV services, IPTV multicast services, high
quality broadband, and multi-service access for residential
subscribers.
„ It also meets fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband service
requirements to accomplish the ‘three-in-one’ target. FTTH
greatly promotes development of the ‘digital home’ industry.
Network Figure 20 shows an EPON network.

Features EPON features are as follows:


„ Downlink rate can reach up to 1.25 Gbps. The uplink
transmits data stream in Ethernet packet mode and reaches
up to 1.25 Gbps.
„ Voice, data and video services.
„ Operation, maintenance and management functions
„ A typical EPON system consists of following parts:
f OLT (Optical Line Terminal) is located in central office
(CO).
f ONU (Optical Network Unit) is located near NIU (network
interface unit) or combined with NIU.
f POS (Passive Optical Splitter) is a passive device
connecting OLT and ONU. The function of POS is to
distribute downlink data and collect uplink data.

QoS Service
Introduction Quality of Service (QoS) offers network service functions with
different service qualities to meet various demands.
QoS Standards QoS uses following standards:
„ Flow classification
„ Traffic monitoring
„ Limited port rate
„ Queue
Flow It means to identify packets and transmit them to different
Classification system devices for processing. Traffic identification with different
priority features is based on the Type of Service (ToS) field in IP
packet head. For example, classify packets based on information
of data link layer, network layer, and transmission layer. This
information includes MAC address, IP protocol type, source (host,
network segment) address, destination (host, network segment),
and port number of application program.
Traffic Traffic monitoring is used to monitor service flow according to
Monitoring classification rule at the packets receiving port. It enables
service flow to adapt to the network resource allocated to it,
such as bandwidth. Traffic monitoring is used for rate restriction
on packets receiving port, monitoring traffic flowing to one
network. If rate is too fast, traffic monitoring can discard packet
or reset packet priority.
Limited Port Limited port rate is used to monitor and restrict bandwidth
Rate occupied by service traffic at packet sending port. This technique
enables service flow to adapt to network resource. For example
limited port rate sets a rate threshold at sending port of packet.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 45


ZXMSG 5200 (V2.0.2) Multiplex Service Gateway Technical Manual

If traffic exceeds this rate, packets will be discarded. In this way,


sending rate is limited.
Queue Queue scheduling solves the problem that multiple packets
Scheduling compete for network resource when packets are forwarded.
Queue scheduling modes include:
„ Strict-Priority queue (SP)
„ Weighted Round Robin (WRR)
„ Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ)
These algorithms solve packet forwarding problems in each
output queue of device port according to their own principles.
ZXMSG 5200 supports these three queue scheduling modes.
Traffic Mirror Traffic mirror is used to monitor service flows according to traffic
classification rule. This traffic mirror copies data packets
according to traffic classification rule to monitor port, facilitate
network detection, and elimination faults.
