service consistency with complete
interoperability. Purpose-built and
optimized for high-demand environ-
ments, FP technology enables the 7450
ESS to deliver a variety of complex
consumer, business and mobile services
with granular per-service and/or
per-subscriber controls.
High-performance Ethernet
services control and delivery
The 7450 ESS is proven to be a highly
expandable, scalable and reliable
Carrier Ethernet Switch platform that
delivers high-touch packet processing
to enable next-generation service
creation without compromising for-
warding performance, service depth
or throughput. The market-leading
innovation of FP technology gives the
7450 ESS wire-speed packet tunnel
encapsulation, and forwarding tables
that scale to 50,000 routes for Open
Shortest Path First (OSPF), 50,000 routes
for Intermediate System-to-Intermedi-
ate System (IS-IS) and 10,000 routes for
Routing Information Protocol (RIP). It
has 64,000 queues per Input/Output
Module 3-XP (IOM3-XP), enabling up
to eight queues per subscriber, with
no packet loss at 25 Gb/s.
The 7450 ESS supports a wide range of
unicast and multicast routing/signaling
protocols: Label Distribution Protocol
(LDP), Resource Reservation Protocol
(RSVP), IS-IS, RIP, Internet Group
Management Protocol (IGMP) v3 with
Snooping, Multicast Listener Discovery
(MLD) v1/v2 with VPLS capability, and
Equal Cost Multipath Protocol (ECMP).
It also supports wire-speed Layer 2,
Layer 3 and Layer 4 Access Control List
(ACL) filtering up to 50 Gb/s. The 7450
ESS uses the same Alcatel-Lucent
Service Router Operating System (SR
OS) across all platforms for operational
simplicity and consistency, providing a
highly scalable software foundation
that is tightly integrated with the FP
technology hardware architecture.
The 7450 ESS has integrated MPLS into
the control plane. It supports industry-
leading IETF architecture, stack, traffic
engineering, auto-optimization,
dynamic/static routing, prioritization,
resiliency, protection, auto-discovery
and signaling. In addition, the 7450 ESS
supports Ethernet pseudowires using
Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge
(PWE3) and OAM standards for service
tunneling flexibility, making it capable
of delivering any combination of
services to any port, with uncompro-
mised service depth and performance.
Multigenerational
interoperability
Multigenerational interoperability
between IOMs, Media Dependent
Adapters (MDAs) and Integrated
Service Adapters (ISAs) allows service
providers, MSOs, mobile operators and
enterprise customers to leverage all
in-place hardware, enabling them to
achieve incremental performance and
service gains with no compromise on
performance. Networks using current
generation FP technology are fully and
seamlessly upgradable to FP2, thereby
fully preserving carriers’ current invest-
ments and extending them well into
the future. In addition, to simplify
sparing requirements, IOMs, MDAs, ISAs,
Switch Fabric/Control Processor Modules
(SF/CPMs), power supplies and fans are
interchangeable between the platforms.
Advanced Carrier Ethernet services
With a comprehensive set of service-
aware features, the 7450 ESS provides
access to a rich suite of Carrier Ether-
net services. MPLS switching, Resource
Reservation Protocol with Traffic
Engineering (RSVP-TE), Hierarchical
Quality of Service (H-QoS) and
Ethernet OAM, along with resiliency
features such as non-stop routing,
non-stop switching, multichassis Link
Aggregation Group (LAG) and pseudo­
wire redundancy, make the 7450 ESS
the platform of choice to deliver
standards-based, end-to-end Carrier
Ethernet and metro services.
Delivering profitable IPTV and
broadband video services
The 7450 ESS plays a critical role in
triple play service delivery. It supports
VPLS for broadband aggregation and
IGMP/MLD for multicast video distribu-
tion. With up to eight ingress and egress
service queues per subscriber for up
to 8,000 subscribers in total per slot
(using the High Speed MDA), the
7450 ESS allows for subscriber termi­
nation that typically exists within
over-subscribed DSL access multiplex-
ers (DSLAMs) or Gigabit passive optical
networks (GPONs). Service-aware H-QoS
permits per-subscriber granularity for
personalized services. Subscriber-aware
dual-homing for the the Layer 2 CO
model now supports ring topologies,
leverages Bidirectional Forwarding
Detection (BFD) for faster node failover
performance, and provides per-VLAN
load balancing. Enhanced subscriber
management supports a universal
approach to manage subscriber
identities, profiles and SLAs.
Premium Business VPN services
For operators looking to increase
revenue with Premium Business VPN
services, the 7450 ESS enables the
creation of value-added services with
a number of WAN optimization mech-
anisms. It supports VPLS/Hierarchical
VPLS for high-performance multipoint
VPN services and VPWS for point-to-
point VPN services. Service-aware H-QoS
permits per-subscriber granularity for
tailored SLAs that relate directly to the
networking objectives of the enterprise.
Service-aware OAM ensures that these
services can be fully managed end-to-
end. The versatility of the 7450 ESS
allows for VPLS and VPWS to be map­
ped to enhanced Internet services.
Wireless Ethernet backhaul
The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS can also
be used to enable mobile network
transformation in Carrier Ethernet
networking environments that use an
Ethernet-based aggregation or back-
bone network. With its uncompromis-
ing high availability, service-aware
guaranteed QoS, along with pseudo­
wires and bandwidth scalability, the
7450 ESS plays a key role in 3G to 4G
network migration and WiMAX
applications.
Service integration and
virtualization
The 7450 ESS further increases service
depth by integrating advanced services
into the platform using an ISA. With
intelligent Layer 3 to Layer 7 service
capabilities, the 7450 ESS unifies
service integration with deep-touch
services and ushers in a new realm
of convergence.
ISAs, half-slot MDA form factor adapters,
extend the level of intelligence of
the industry-leading Carrier Ethernet
Switch platform by virtualizing advanced
service capabilities into a single, unified
IP/MPLS and/or Carrier Ethernet or metro
service edge. These adapters provide
purpose-built, extended functionality
to the 7450 ESS, enabling deeper levels
of service capabilities typically available
from external, dedicated, network-
attached appliances.
The Application Assurance Integrated
Service Adapter (AA-ISA) significantly
extends the service depth and func-
tionality of the 7450 ESS by virtualizing
advanced application intelligence,
with extensive subscriber policy and
traffic management capabilities. The
AA-ISA enables service providers,
MSOs and mobile operators to deliver
personalized and QoS-managed online
services that provide added value to
subscribers, content owners, applica-
tion providers, advertisers and other
key members in the value chain by
delivering a superior quality of
experience.
Carrier Ethernet high availability
More than ever, high availability is at
the forefront of buying criteria for
consumer and business Carrier Ethernet
services. The 7450 ESS is the industry’s
first Carrier Ethernet Switch to provide
the required Carrier Ethernet high
availability. It represents a generational
leap in high availability, enabling
improved network reliability with non-
stop Carrier Ethernet services, and
ensures enforcement of stringent
customer SLAs.
The architecture of the 7450 ESS has
been developed to meet stringent
requirements for supporting mission-
critical applications and services with
a wide range of high-availability fea-
tures. Non-stop routing provides true
stateful resiliency of Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) routing processes such
that all topology information and
adjacencies are maintained even in
the event of a control card failure. The
7450 ESS supports non-stop routing on
protocols such as OSPF, IS-IS, RSVP-TE,
LDP and targeted LDP signaling proto-
cols. Non-stop services provide stateful
resiliency for protocols that run over
IGP, such as MPLS. The 7450 ESS sup-
ports non-stop services for VPLS and
VPWS using tunnels created by LDP,
targeted LDP, generic routing encapsu-
lation (GRE) and static label switched
path (LSP) tunnels. With in-service
software upgrades, the 7450 ESS uses
non-stop routing and non-stop services
to ensure there are no service outages
and no SLA violations during upgrades.
Fast Reroute provides sub 50 ms failover
on MPLS-enabled links. Multichassis
LAG enables dual homing of any
standards-based access device (DSLAM
or Cable Modem Termination System
[CMTS]), by allowing LAGs to be split
between two systems.
The industry-leading high-availability
features of the 7450 ESS have been
validated in independent tests by BT
Exact, an industry-recognized, third-
party test organization. These tests
show that that the 7450 ESS enables
the delivery of true non-stop routing
and non-stop services.

Hierarchical service-based QoS
The 7450 ESS provides the flexibility
to deliver SLA-based Carrier Ethernet
services delimited by an IEEE 802.1Q
tag, a stacked VLAN Q-in-Q tag, or
an Ethernet port. Each Ethernet service
is buffered on the ingress side of the
7450 ESS and shaped to an SLA with
service guarantees of committed
information rate (CIR) and peak infor­
mation rate (PIR). The buffers can
accommodate different maximum
burst sizes (MBSs) due to per-service
programmability, implemented in the
FP2 packet processing complex. Each
service can use multiple queues to
enable shaping, policing and marking
of different flows. Each service also
has counters to measure service-based
statistics and enable enhanced billing
on a per-customer basis. With this
greater degree of control for service-
level differentiation, the 7450 ESS
gives service providers the freedom
to guarantee critical application
performance without resorting to
over-provisioning of bandwidth.
Service-aware OAM toolkit
With a purpose–built, service-aware
framework, the 7450 ESS offers un-
precedented simplification and cost
reduction of network operations
through rapid diagnosis of network
and service level faults, early detection
of component and service degrada-
tion, and a highly automated process
of isolating network-induced errors.
The 7450 ESS service-aware OAM tools
include service assurance agent (SAA)
tests with scheduling and hardware
timestamps, BFD, service ping, LSP
ping and traceroute, VPLS ping and
traceroute, service mirroring, virtual
circuit connectivity verification, IEEE
802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah and multicast
troubleshooting tools. These tools are
integrated into the Alcatel-Lucent
5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM),
which uses a GUI to ensure rapid
fault isolation.
4 Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS | Data Sheet
Streamlining network management
The 7450 ESS is fully managed by the
industry-leading 5620 SAM and
Alcatel-Lucent 5650 Control Plane
Assurance Manager (CPAM). The 5620
SAM is a single management platform
offering the unification of element,
network and service management. It
gives the operator a comprehensive
fault management system with which
to perform root cause analysis, sched-
ule a suite of OAM tests for SLA com-
pliance, run predefined test suites, and
set threshold crossing alerts to detect
potential SLA violations. It simplifies
service provisioning with GUI-based
templates. The 5650 CPAM is an IP/MPLS
multivendor-compatible control plane
management solution that enables
service operators to assure network
and service availability against control
plane misconfigurations, malfunctions
and undetected routing updates, as
well as accelerate service problem res-
olution over an IP/MPLS infrastructure.
Together, the Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS,
5620 SAM and 5650 CPAM form the
industry’s most comprehensive and
unified IP network resource and
service management solution.
Chassis configurations
The scalable performance and port
density provided by the 7450 ESS is
available in four chassis configurations:
• 12-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-12
• 7-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-7
• 6-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-6

generation infrastructure build-outs
for a right-sized solution for any net-
work environment. All chassis configu-
rations support a wide range of inter-
faces, provide the ability to mix and
match interface types and are inter-
changeable across the different
platforms.
Interface options
With highly flexible, modular physical
network interface options, the 7450
ESS provides a wide range of Ethernet
and Packet over SONET/SDH (PoS)
interface types with leading density.
MDAs are hot-swappable half-slot
adapters that insert into a full-slot
7450 ESS IOM. Supporting up to two
MDAs, the IOM provides fully distrib-
uted forwarding and packet services
and delivers the full complement of
Alcatel-Lucent Service Router Operat-
ing System (SR OS) capabilities for the
7450 ESS. The 7450 ESS MDAs deliver
comprehensive IEEE 802.3 compliance,
and in conjunction with the selected
IOM, provide support for Layer 2 and
Layer 3 IPv4 routing services, IP/MPLS,
Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS), VPLS
and VPWS with a highly personalized
service context. When used with IOM3-
XPs, MDA-XP variants provide 25 Gb/s
(full duplex) and boost slot capacity to
50 Gb/s (full duplex). As well, MDAs
use small form factor pluggable (SFP)
optics to provide greater flexibility by
populating MDAs with the required
optics on a per-port basis.
