 Note 2:
 ZXCTN 6500-32 is mainly positioned in core and trunk line scenario with major
services of 10GE/40GE/100GE and a few GE services. ZXCTN 6500-32 has large
capacity and high back plane bandwidth for single slot. Huge bandwidth waste will
be made if FE board is plugged into it. In some places where FE services are
needed, ZXCTN 6500-8/6500-16 is recommended as expanded subrack
 ZXCTN 6500-8/6500-16 provides multiple alternatives for low-speed service
access like FE. It’s recommended to insert “8-port 100M optical interface board”
into low-speed slot firstly to realize FE service access, and then to select 16-port
GE line board (high-speed slot) for FE service access. The principle is based on
the system architecture of the product. ZXCTN 6500 adopts “separated high and
low-speed slot + decoupling” design to realize efficient slot utilization and
maximized service access capability. The high-speed slot is mainly used for
100GE/40GE/10GE access. The low-speed slot is used for GE/FE/ STM-1/STM-
4/E1 service access.

3.4 Multi-service bearing capability

 ZXCTN 6500 can bear TDM/ETH services through PWE3 (Pseudo Wire Emulation
Edge-to-Edge) provides a transparent transport channels for TDM/ETH services in
PSN (Packet Switching Network). PW tunnel established at provider’s edge node
realize TDM/ETH service transparent transport. The service are isolated from each
other and its attributes remain unchanged during the transparent transport process.
3.4.1 TDM service
ZXCTN 6500 supports TDM service via TDM E1 interface and Ch. STM-N interface.

ZXCTN 6500 supports Structure-aware or Structure-agnostic Emulation for TDM

service. The two ways of processing are as follows:
3.4.1.1 Structure-aware emulation
 Equipment is aware of frame structure, framing mode and timeslot information in

TDM circuit.
 Equipment disposes TDM frame overheads, extracts payloads, then transfers each
timeslot to packet message payloads consequently. The service will be organized
as the original form once they arrive at their destination.
 Structure-aware Emulation enhance the bandwidth utilization in the price of pay
more latency, if compared to structure-agnostic Emulation
3.4.1.2 Structure-agnostic emulation
 Equipment is agnostic about inter structure of TDM signal. It treats TDM signal as
constant-rate bit stream.
 Overheads and payloads in TDM signal are transparently transported.
 Latency is shorter than Structure-aware Emulation, but needs larger bandwidth.
3.4.1.3 CEP emulation for legacy SDH Service
 Circuit emulation makes it possible for ZXCTN 6500 to bear STM-n service on
packet network. ZXCTN 6500 creates PW at the network edge node UNI side. The
constant TDM are transparently transported like E1 service mentioned before
through PW. ZXCTN conforms the following IETF RFC4842 and G.825
specifications.

 ZXCTN 6500 offers the following metro Ethernet services compliant with ITU-T and

MEF6.
Table 3-7 EVC (Ethernet Virtual Connection) service supported by ZXCTN 6500
Service Type Port-Based VLAN-Based
E-Line EPL EVPL
E-LAN EP-LAN EVP-LAN
E-Tree EP-Tree EVP-Tree
3.4.2.1 E-Line
 E-Line is point-to-point service with the service connectivity only between the two
points.
E-Line can be divided into two types: PLine and EVPLine.
Figure 3-1 ZXCTN 6500 E-LINE service model
 E-LINE service EVC is composed of one or multipile Matrix Flow Domain Fragment

(MFDFR). The link between MFDFR is ETH link. The services are beared by ETH
link on transport layer of MPLS-TP or MPLS. E-line services are transported
through MPLS-TP tunnel via pseudo-wire emulation.

 E-Tree service EVC is composed by one or multile Matrx Flow Domain Fragment

link on transport layer of MPLS-TP.
3.4.3 Multi-Segment PW
 ZXCTN 6500 support static MS-PW mode. In traditional Single segement-PW
mode, PW and LSP have the same source and detination, thus have same length,
which leads SS-PW can only provide end-to-end protection and failed to deal with
multi-mode protection. It is also limited to increase LSP capacity during the
transportation. MS-PW breaks traditional single semement-PW mode to multi
segements so to allow PW to add or drop at intermediate node. By this means, it
can also increase LSP bandwidth and realize flexible protection.
 ZXCTN6500 supports static multi-segment PW.
3.4.4 OTN Service
Packet Optical Transport Network (POTN) supports OTN circuit service, as well as
ODU0, ODU1, and ODU2/2E crossing granularity. POTN improve line side (NNI)
bandwidth, and enable CFP module with on PIC module to implement multiple
OTU2/OTU2E service process, With WDM integration, POTN supports single fiber
bearing up to 40 wave transmission capacity. The client side (UNI) supports Constant Bit

 ZXCTN 6500 supports powerful VLAN function to divide virtual working groups.
Table 3-8 VLAN feature
Attribute Description
Support VLAN based on port.

Support VLAN based on IP subnet.
VLAN
Support VLAN based on 802.1Q label.
Support VLAN Range/VLAN Group
Support QinQ-based forwarding.

VLAN Support ordinary QinQ and port-based external
features label.
Support Selective QinQ and flow-based external
QinQ
label.
Support Selective QinQ internal priority mapping
Support EVC QinQ
Support TPID modification.
 In 802.1Q VLAN protocol 12-bit VLAN ID will limit VLAN number to 4096. In order
to extend VLAN ID address space and improve security, ZXCTN 6500 expands
VLAN on the basis of IEEE802.1Q, that is Q-in-Q. Encapsulating IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN tags within 802.1Q enables service providers to use a single VLAN to
support customers who have multiple VLANs. The IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag
Termination feature on the sub-interface level preserves VLAN IDs and keeps
traffic in different customer VLANs segregated.
 ZXCTN 6500 supports Supper VLAN to allow different LAN users to share one
gateway and isolate from each other, so to save IP addresses.
 ZXCTN 6500 Supports VLAN Range function. It can realize more PW or VLAN to
share one gateway to save IP, Users can not reach to each other. They must send
packets to ARP proxy, and packets are forwarded by L3 layer.
3.5.3 Link aggregation (LAG)

 ZXCTN 6500 supports link aggregation which technically binds a group of physical

interfaces. Those interfaces are logically act as one link.

 Link aggregation is an approach to increase bandwidth and improve reliability by
binding physical links. It is an important technology to create link resilience and
redundancy. Link aggregation offers good protection. When a fault occurs, service
will can automatically switch to other links, so as to avoid service suspension .
 Link aggregation consists of manual aggregation, static aggregation and dynamic
aggregation according to implementation mode. Manual aggregation does not need
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). In static aggregation, the administrator
manually designates which ports belong to one aggregation group, and LACP is
required at static aggregation mode. In dynamic aggregation, LACP automatically
determines whether adding a port or removing a port out of aggregation group.
 Link aggregation can be divided into two categories: load-sharing and non-load-
sharing. After the configuration of link aggregation group, traffic will be
automatically distributed among several physical link by load-balance mechanism.
When a malfunction occurs to one physical link, its traffic will be redistributed to
other links. The traffic will be resume after it recovery from the fault. At non-load-
sharing mode, only active links have traffic, others will be remained as redundancy
.
 ZXCTN 6500 supports manual, static, dynamic aggregation and LACP based on
IEEE 802.3ad. It can bind FE, GE or 10GE interfaces and support link aggregation
across line cards or sub-racks based on MAC, VLAN and IP load balancing.
3.5.4 DHCP Relay function
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) can automatically allocate IP address to

the host. After getting the IP address, the host can initiates an IP communication via the
IP address. In the LTE stage, it is required that DHCP dynamically allocates the address
to eNB to enhance network automatization.
ZXCTN 6500 supports DHCP Relay. DHCP Server is usually deployed in the
convergence layer or core layer equipment, thus it is required that DHCP packet of the
host can penetrate different subnets to reach DHCP Server. In order to support the
penetration, ZXCTN 6500 can snoop and relay the DHCP packet.

3.5.5 Multicast
 Multicast is the delivery of a message or information to a group of destination
simultaneously in a single transmission from the source. Copies are automatically
created in other network elements, such as switches or routers.
 ZXCTN 6500 supports IGMP Snooping to realize the efficient management of
multicast group member, and suppression of multicast flood in L2 network to
prevent multicast message being delivered to unauthorized users.
 IGMP Snooping maintains the connections between multicast address and VLAN
table by inspecting and analyzing the IGMP message used for communication
between the host and L3 multicast.
 After initiating IGMP Snooping services, ZXCTN 6500 will make different
processing according to different IGMP or MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery)
message.
 When receiving IGMP common group query message, ZXCTN 6500 will forward
the message from all its VLAN ports. Furthermore, it will reset the aging timer of
the receiving port.

 ARP hot-standby is aiming at having in-time synchronization solution between

working ARP server and redundancy server.
 As shown in the graphic, PE1 is wording node, and PE3 is the redundancy node.
PE1-PE2, PE1-PE3 are the two PWs to form a dual-homing network.PE2/PE3 is
the node to terminate PW so to map to VRF. During the normal process, there are
no traffic passing through PE, so creating the communication channel to
synchronize ARP table between PE2 and PE3 is necessary. ARP hot-standby can
provide these kind of function.

 As aggregation or core carrier Ethernet platform, ZXCTN 6500 adopts static route
mechanism in order to improve network reliability and security. Users can configure

the route through command line or NMS. Static route table is deemed as private
configuration, shall not be forwarded to neighbor nodes.
3.6.1.6 Equal Cost of Multi-path (ECMP)
 ZXCTN 6500 supports Equal Cost of Multi-path protocol. Users can choose ECMP
to achieve one service transported by multi-path to realize traffic load shared
among multi-streams. ZXCTN 6500 supports up to 32 ECMP groups. Each group
has 16 members.
3.6.1.7 ICMP
 ZXCTN 6500 follows ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol). It supports IP Ping
and Trace Route. ICMP can detect link status and report the malfunction. It
provides important link monitoring mechanism to maintain the transport network.
3.6.1.8 UDP
 ZXCTN 6500 follows RFC 768 UDP (User Datagram Protocol). As basic
connectionless transport protocol, UDP provides the flexibility to bear varsity
service. For instance, it can be used by protocols link OSPF or LDP to transmit
Hello protocol packets.
3.6.1.9 TCP
 ZXCTN 6500 follows RFC 793 TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). As basic
connection transport protocol, UDP is used with other protocols to realize the
function like FTP, rlogin, remote execution and so on.
3.6.1.10 VRRP
 VRRP is the virtual route redundancy protocol related to gateway node redundancy
protection. Among specific IP network, existing default route for the destination
address beyond of the domain. Once this route fails down, all the links out of the
domain will be blocked. VRRP can provide the mechanism to protect the links to
outer domain. With VRRP protocol, routers are assembled work as a group. One is
activated as master, others are looked as redundancy to backup function. As
shown in Error: Reference source not found, CE is dual-home connected to PE1
and PE2 via two links. PE1 address is 30.1.1.3, MAC1 and PE2 address is

30.1.1.2, MAC2.
Figure 3-6 VRRP
 PE1 and PE2 have a shared virtual IP address 30.1.1.1. PE1 is activated as
master PE, PE2 is configured as redundancy. Packet from CE shall be forwarded
by virtual IP router 30.1.1.1. In fact it’s forwarded by PE1. PE1 and PE2 can
exchange message to select the master router.
 Once PE1 is out of service, PE2 will be activated as master router and to forward
the packet to other domain. ZXCTN 6500 follows Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (RFC 3768).
3.6.1.11 IP FRR
 ZXCTN 6500 supports fast IP rerouting to improve network reliability. ZXCTN 6500
can activate IP FRR protection based on BFD or port alarm
 With fast IP rerouting, ZXCTN 6500 can switch traffic from master interface to
backup interface within 50ms through hardware its unit.
 ZXCTN 6500 supports IP FRR on native interface and tunnel interface based on
routing protocol.
3.6.1.12 IP FRR and LAG protection
 In L3VPN inter-AS application scenario, PE nodes among different L3VPN

communicate through Native IP. Since network bandwidth exceeds link bandwidth,
It’s necessary to bind multi-link together to realize the transport with LAG protection
for each link. However intermediate PE nodes may be out of function, IP FRR is
recommended to resolve the protection problem in this scenario. IP FRR switch
duration is less than 300ms.

3.6.1.13 Dual Gateway Configuration
 Dual gateway scenario is for LTE bearing. 2 devices work as the next-hop gateway
of the base station (sGW). Considering node protection for the 2 devices, the
main/standby node need to be configured with the same IP and MAC. Base station
side PTN device ARP concurrent solution should be adopted with priority as the
ARP synchronization at the two nodes.
3.7 Static MPLS-TP L3 VPN

 L3VPN is an IP-based L3 virtual private network protocol. With L3VPN function,
MPLS-TP isolate service from different users.
 ZXCTN 6500 MPLS-TP L3VPN network architecture is shown as the following
figure:
Figure 3-7 L3VPN network architecture
3.7.1 VRF
 VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instance is a basic component of L3VPN.
Among Provider’s L3VPN bearing network, VRF help to differentiate and separate
VPN for different users. Each routing forwarding instance is corresponding to
dedicated VRF. Each VRF logically has an independent routing and forwarding
table. ZXCTN 6500 adopts static mode to configure VRF label. Different VRF in
one PE node has different L3 VPN labels

Figure 3-8 VFR label allocation mode
3.7.2 L3 VPN access

supports route learning by the following measure: Static route,
3.7.5 VPN FRR

 ZXCTN 6500 supports VPN FRR, which makes recovery time from failure for end-
to-end service independent on the network scale.
 VPN FRR configure the routing to master PE or salve PE on remote side. PE
detect the failure with MPLS-TP OAM technology. With fast switch of traffic on VPN
based private network, VPN FRR switch the traffic to salve PE in advance of
routing convergence so as to ensure service recovery independent of PE failure
recovery time and number of routers among VPN network.
3.7.6 Inter-AS VPN Option A

 Traditional MPLS VPN has its own private AS. All the routing information are
forwarded in this AS. Inter-AS is aiming at providing the VPN information extension
method between different AS. Inter-AS MPLS VPN can penetrate the operator
domains to publish VPN routing information.

 RFC 4364 provides Inter-AS VPN Option A solution

protection
In Tunnel 1+1 protection, services are transmitted simultaneously in both working &
protection channels and received selectively. When a fault occurs to working channel,
the receiving end selectively receives the services from protection channel for service
switching.
Figure 3-11 Unidirectional 1+1 protection switching
In 1+1 architecture, the protection tunnel is private for each working tunnel. The working
tunnel bridges the protection tunnel at the source end of the protection domain. 1+1
tunnel protection is a kind of unidirectional switchover, which means only the links under

affection switches over to the protection tunnel. To avoid single-point fault, the working
tunnel and protection tunnel should use independent routes.
Figure 3-12 Unidirectional 1+1 Tunnel Protection Switching (Working Link Fault)
Tunnel 1:1 protection reserves unidirectional service sending and receiving. Extension
APS protocol is transferred via the protection tunnel, sending mutual protocol status and
switchover status. Devices of both sides implement service switchover as per protocol
and switchover status.
Figure 3-13 Bidirectional 1: 1 Tunnel Protection Switching Architecture)
In 1:1 architecture, the protection tunnel is private for each working tunnel. The
switchover of 1:1 path protection is bidirectional switchover. In other words, the affected
connections and unaffected connections are switched over to the protection tunnel. To
avoid single-point fault, the working tunnel and the protection tunnel should follow

independent routes.
Figure 3-14 Bidirectional 1:1 Tunnel Protection Switching (Working Connection Z-A
Fails)
When ZXCTN 6500 configures PW 1+1/1:1 protection, it supports services with the sink
source but different sink destination. According to customer service failure signal, it
implements protection switchover.
When ZXCTN 6500 configures 1:1 protection, it usually allows the protection tunnel to
bear services.
3.10.2.1 Ring Protection
Ring protection saves fiber and network resource, and fulfills protection switching within
50ms in compliance with strict protection time requirements of the transport network.
ZXCTN 6500 supports Wrapping and Steering ring protection, and shared ring
protection.
 Wrapping Protection
When network node is found failed, the neighbor node of the fault will send
switchover request to the neighbor node via APS protocol. When one node
inspects fault or switchover request, common services sent to the invalid node will
be switched over to another direction (far from the invalid node). When the network
recovers or APS protocol request disappears, services will be restored to the
original path. The protection principle is as shown in the following table.

Figure 3-15 Wrapping Protection
 Shared Path Ring Protection

Shared Ring protection adopts nested LSPs to achieve the open working loop and
the closed protection loop, which is on the reverse direction of the working loop, for
each node on the ring. When the service is added onto the ring , the added service
tunnel is label stacked on the shared working tunnel and only the shared working
tunnel is protected by Wrapping protection. As a result, there are 3 layers of labels,
which are PW label, service LSP label and outer shared ring LSP label, when the
service is transport on the ring. The service LSP is transported transparently on the
shared ring LSP and the inner labels cannot be handled and processed during the

transmission. All the services that dropped in the same node share the same
working and protection ring tunnel. If some parts of ring fail and are detected by
TMS, only the shared the working tunnel need to be protected, which increases the
switching efficiency.
Figure 3-16 Shared path ring protection
 Shared Ring-Span Ring Protection
On two ring crossing scenario, to realize protection for the cross nodes
through shared ring mechanism rather than linear overlapping protection.

3.10.2.2 Dual-Homing Protection
Dual homing is a network topology in which base station services go through the bearer
network and then terminate at two service access point equipments, both of which
connect the RNC. Based on this network topology, dual homing protection is
implemented by employing some related technique to provide protection for the service
access point equipments and access links. When failures occur in the main access point
equipment or access link, service frames can be transported to the RNC through the
redundant access point device or access link.
Figure 3-17 Dual-Homing Protection
As shown above, the bearer network connects to the main and redundant GE interfaces
of the RNC through two access devices, of which one is working (device B here) and the
other is redundant (device C here). In normal state, the working path is shown as red
real line by NodeB-A-B-RNC. When a failure occurs at device B or on the access link
between device B and the RNC, related OAM frames will sent to device A. Dual homing
protection works and switchover happens at device A. Meanwhile the RNC detects the
failure and switches to device C for transmitting and receiving service frames. The
working path now is shown as the red dashed line.

3.10.3 OTN Protection
3.10.3.1 Sub-wavelength 1+1 protection
 Sub-wavelength 1+1 protection is a solution for received concurrent for sub-

wavelength service. The working path and protection path provide physically
irrelevant routes. When the working route (preset) fails, the sub-wavelength service
is automatically switched to the standby route at the receiving end to prevent
damaging to the sub-wavelength service. Other types of services beared by the
system can be protected in this way too.
3.10.3.2 ODUk ring protection
 ODUk ring protection is used in ring network, supported by network protection

switching protocol. It adopts dual-end switching.
3.10.3.3 POTN multi-layer protection
 POTN equipment supports PW, LSP and shared ring protection at the layer of
PTN. At the same time it supports ODUk ring protection, and linear protection at
the layer of OTN. If multi protection solution are activated for one service, halting
time must be set to avoid service being switched more times even by one stimulus.
3.10.4 Other protections
3.10.4.1 LAG protection
 ZXCTN 6500 supports LAG functions as mentioned in “3.4.3 Link aggregation

(LAG)”,
Ethernet LAG protection has two mode: sharing or non-sharing load. In load sharing
mode, the device will share services to multiple physical ports of the aggregation group
automatically. When one physical port fails, the traffic on this port will be relocated to
other physical ports automatically. When the failure recovers, the traffic will be resume to
make sure the load shared by all aggregated ports. In non-load sharing mode, services
only exist in the active link in the aggregation group and the LAG is only a backup
mechanism. When the active link of the aggregation group fails, the system will activate

the standby link to protect the traffic of the failed link.
ZXCTN 6500 supports the following features.
 UNI LAG :manual aggregation, dynamic aggregation and static LACP aggregation;
 Support UNI dual-home protection and MC-LAG protection: manual aggregation,

dynamic aggregation and static LACP aggregation;
 LACP based LAG mode, support master/slave mode(non-load sharing)
 Static LAG to realize 50ms protection switch.
3.10.4.2 Signal Degraded-SD Protection
ZXCTN 6500 support signal degraded protection, which is suitable for linear or ring
network mode.
 Support based on LD OAM active detection mode, or based CC/CV packet loss
account;

Ethernet link FCS detection.
 SD threshold range from 1e-3 to 1e-6, default setting is 1e-3.
3.10.4.3 Signal Degraded-SD Protection
ZXCTN 6500 support Ch.STM-1/4 and CEP STM-1/4 linear multiplex section
protection(LMSP)
3.10.5 Anti-attack
 The management and control plane signaling of the device may traverse the
network of the third party. If the third party network is not a trustworthy one, the
device may be attacked. So anti-attack measures should be taken.
 Anti-DOS attack

 Network ingress filtering

synchronization mechanism. Master clock periodically publishes PTP protocol and
time information which slave side receives in time. Slave clock changes some time
information, then forwards back. Accordingly the recycle, the system can calculate
master/slave time delay on the route. and slave clock adjusts local time according
to the difference from master clock so that slave time is consistent with the master
in the frequency and phase.
