This section describes the features of the OptiX OSN equipment in the aspects of system
architecture, networking, and technologies.
1.1.1 Universal Switch Architecture for Multiservice Grooming

OptiX OSN equipment uses a universal switch architecture for unified grooming of packet
services and TDM services. OptiX OSN equipment can work in packet mode, TDM mode, or
dual-domain (packet+TDM) mode.
The three modes can be smoothly switched by upgrading the software of a service board so
carriers' requirements on services and networks can be met. The smooth switching between
the three modes supports carriers' distributed smooth investment based on the development of
the technology and industrial chain.
Based on a universal switch architecture, OptiX OSN equipment uses the packet transmission
technology to perform efficient statistical multiplexing on data services so the transmission
cost of every bit is reduced. In addition, OptiX OSN equipment uses the Native technology to
transmit TDM services so voice services are transmitted with high quality.
Figure 1-1 shows the OptiX OSN equipment architecture.

Figure 1-1 OptiX OSN equipment architecture
Based on a universal switch architecture, OptiX OSN equipment uniformly transmits packet
services such as 2G, 3G, and VIP private line services so network overlapping is avoided. In
addition, OptiX OSN equipment transmits TDM services. Carriers can constitute an end-to-
end packet network, dual-domain (packet+SDH) network, or hybrid (MSTP+routers) network
that bears L2+L3 services. This complete packet transmission solution allows an evolution
from TDM networks to all-IP networks.
1.1.2 Hierarchical OAM Facilitating Fault Detection

The Hybrid MSTP equipment supports hierarchical OAM to rapidly detect and locate various
faults, thereby improving network reliability. In addition, the Hybrid MSTP equipment
supports distributed OAM and centralized OAM.
Application of Hierarchical OAM

As shown in Figure 1-2, MPLS OAM, MPLS-TP OAM, and ETH OAM constitute
hierarchical OAM at the tunnel layer, PW layer, and Ethernet layer.

Table 1-1 provides various levels of OAM and their functions.
Table 1-1 Various levels of OAM and their functions

Category Level Function
ETH OAM Ethernet Port OAM Ethernet port OAM (EFM) helps maintain point-to-
point Ethernet links between two directly-connected
devices, and it is not service-specific. Ethernet port
OAM provides the following functions:
l OAM auto-discovery
l Link performance monitoring
l Fault detection
l Remote loopback
l Self-loop detection

Category Level Function
Ethernet service Ethernet service OAM (CFM) helps maintain end-

OAM to-end Ethernet services. It specifies maintenance
domains (MDs), maintenance associations (MAs),
and maintenance points (MPs), allowing service
flows to be managed by section and by layer.
Ethernet service OAM provides the following
functions:
l Continuity check (CC)
l Loopback (LB) test
l Link trace (LT) test
l Performance check
MPLS MPLS tunnel/PW MPLS tunnel/PW OAM detects, identifies, and

OAM OAM locates defects or faults on MPLS tunnels/PWs on an
MPLS network. Once a fault is detected, protection
switching is triggered. MPLS tunnel/PW OAM
provides the following functions:
l Packet detection
l Ping
l Traceroute
MPLS-TP MPLS-TP MPLS-TP OAM detects, identifies, and locates

OAM Tunnel/PW OAM faults on a packet network. Once a fault is detected,
protection switching is triggered for improving
network reliability. MPLS-TP OAM provides the
following functions:
l Active mode:
– CC
– Remote fault indication (RDI)
– Alarm indication signal (AIS)
– Client Signal Fail (CSF, only supported by
PWs)
l On-demand mode:
– LB test
– LT test
– Packet loss measurement (only single-ended
LM)
– Delay measurement (1DM and 2DM)
– Lockup of bidirectional tunnels and PWs
– TST test, including diagnostic test and
throughput test

Distributed OAM and Centralized OAM

OAM is categorized into distributed OAM and centralized OAM.
l Distributed OAM: OAM messages are extracted and processed on service processing
boards.
l Centralized OAM: OAM messages are extracted from service processing boards and
then sent to a cross-connect board for centralized processing.
MPLS OAM can be distributed or centralized. MPLS-TP OAM can only be centralized.
Before switching MPLS OAM to MPLS-TP OAM, ensure that MPLS OAM is centralized.
1.1.3 TP-Assist Solution Facilitating the O&M of Packet Services

Like the SDH equipment, Huawei Hybrid MSTP equipment supports a hierarchical operating
& maintenance (O&M) system by using the TP-Assist solution, so packet services can be
configured, commissioned, or maintained in an end-to-end manner.

1.1.4 Built-In WDM, Flexible Networking

The OptiX OSN equipment uses the built-in WDM technology to transmit several
wavelengths over one optical fiber. In this manner, the OptiX OSN equipment can be
interconnected with the WDM equipment.
The OptiX OSN 3500 provides the built-in WDM technology. The functions of the equipment
are as follows:
l Standard DWDM wavelengths that comply with ITU-T G.694.1 can be added or
dropped.
l Standard CWDM wavelengths that comply with ITU-T G.694.2 can be added or
dropped.
l A set of equipment can be configured into an Optical Terminal Multiplexer (OTM) or an
Optical Add/Drop multiplexer (OADM), or both.
l Optical add/drop multiplexing boards have concatenation ports which can be used for
expansion or for adding/dropping multiple wavelengths through concatenation.

l The equipment supports Raman amplifiers which can be used in long-distance signal
transmission.
l The equipment supports the automatic gain control technology, which enables the gain of
each working wavelength to change within an allowed range in all scenarios.
l The equipment supports the forward error correction (FEC) technology, which can
correct the errors generated during signal transmission and therefore improve the
tolerance of signal-to-noise ratio at the receive end and extend the length of relay
sections.
