Management Architecture
EMS-BGF
The EMS-BGF provides full-feature BG-20, BG-30, and BG-64 support. The
EMS-BGF supports two modes: Integrated and Standalone. In Integrated mode,
the EMS-BGF functions at the EML level in the TMN scheme and is fully
integrated with LightSoft, which provides complete NML functionality. It is
designed as an open system in compliance with the CORBA standard. In
Standalone mode, the EMS-BGF provides full EML functions, as well as
numerous NML functions, including network topology management,
end-to-end trail management, and so on. This mode provides a very low-cost
management solution for networks that contain only BG-20, BG-30, and
BG-64 NEs.
The EMS-BGF can control scores of BG-20, BG-30, and BG-64 NEs at a time.
It provides a wide range of management functions, including alarms,
configuration, performance, inventory, provisioning, and security management.
Figure 1-5: Shelf view as displayed in the EMS-BGF
NOTE: Activation of the EMS-BGF requires a

hardware-based license key (USB type).

Manual
LCT-BGF
The LCT-BGF is a PC-based BroadGate Product Line installation,
maintenance, commissioning, and configuration tool for field technicians. The
GUI of LCT-BGF makes this product extremely easy to use. It provides rapid
direct connection to deployed NEs using an Ethernet interface.
The LCT-BGF includes all the functionality required by a technician arriving at
a site: full installation, NE commissioning (including slot assignment, IP
routing, and DCC port configuration), and troubleshooting. The system
provides the user with a clear view and control of NE internals (cards, objects,
status, configuration). Password protection ensures only authorized access from
the craft to field-installed equipment.
Figure 1-6: Shelf view as displayed in the LCT-BGF
NOTE: Activation of the LCT-BGF requires a software-based

license key. This key can be either the same one as that used
for the EMS-BGF, or another one used only for the
LCT-BGF.

Manual
LightSoft Network Manager

LightSoft is a multidimensional Network Management System (NMS) that
manages the complete family of EMSs offered by ECI Telecom. LightSoft
enables network operators to assume full control of network equipment.
The application is a unified NMS that provisions, monitors, and controls all
network layers, enabling users and operators to manage multiple technology
layers independently of the physical layer. The system offers on-demand
service provisioning, pinpoint bandwidth allocation, and dramatic reductions in
the equipment and operating costs that multiple management systems often
require. It does this by providing all facets of network management, netwide,
from a single platform.
Management features include configuration, fault detection, performance
management, administrative procedures, maintenance operations, and security
control. Within one integrated management system, LightSoft enables full
control of all NEs regardless of the manufacturer, and allows a complete view
of the network at a glance. With LightSoft, multiple operators can
simultaneously configure the network while preventing any configuration
conflicts.

Traffic Cable for PME1_63

The PME1_63 has a special 272-pin VHDCI female connector for connecting
to its 63 x E1 interfaces. A special cable offered by ECI Telecom is used to
make the connection.
The cable is constructed of three main parts:
 Double 136-pin VHDCI male connector with three pairs of 30AWG cable
tails
 Conversion cable-size box
 Three pairs of 26AWG cables
The following figure shows the PME1_63 traffic cable.

The three 30AWG cable pairs connect on one side to the double 136-pin
VHDCI connector and on the other side to the conversion box. The conversion
box connects between the three 30AWG cable pairs and three pairs of 26AWG
cables, making the wire-size conversion. The 26AWG cables are connected at
the other end to the customer's DDF. Each cable in a pair is bonded to the
other, shaping a figure-eight pattern.

Pluggable Interfaces
(SFPs/XFPs)
SFPs are a new variety of modular optical transceivers with a small footprint
and low power consumption. SFP transceivers operate at rates of up to 2.7
Gbps with either electrical or optical ports, including both colored and
noncolored interfaces (C/DWDM).
The SFP transceiver modules are used for the entire spectrum of interfaces,
including intraoffice, short and long ranges, and the interchangeable transceiver
components that are utilized throughout the product line. The standardized
modular design of the transceiver components facilitates network maintenance
and upgrades. Instead of replacing an entire circuit board containing a number
of soldered modules, a single module can be removed/replaced for repair or
upgrade, providing significant cost savings.
All transceivers provide power monitoring capabilities. The SFPs for STM-16
have the added capability of using low-cost colored interfaces (C/DWDM),
further reducing maintenance costs. Transceivers provide a significant
advantage for the SDH and data cards used in the BG-20 and BG-30 shelves.
Figure 5-21: SFP transceiver
The SFP transceivers support a variety of transmission rates for several

wavelengths and distances.
SFP transceivers support:
 Short haul and long haul 1310 nm transceivers for STM-1, STM-4,and

Ethernet Layer 2 Switching

Cards
Ethernet Layer 2 cards are used to provide Layer 2 services with full VLAN
support to end users over SDH networks.
To support these services, Layer 2 cards installed in the shelves are
interconnected by SDH trails that serve as EoS links. Virtual Concatenation
(VCAT) with Generic Frame Procedure (GFP) encapsulation at VC-4, VC-3,
and VC-12 levels is used to provide the required bandwidth. The resulting
network appears as an Ethernet switch to the end users.
Ethernet Layer 2 cards use LCAS to provide dynamic bandwidth allocation on
trails carrying the EoS links. The number of SDH containers in the link is
automatically decreased if one or more VCs fail, and automatically increased
when the fault is repaired.
BroadGate Product Line Layer 2 service cards provide optical or electrical
Ethernet interfaces and support VC-12/3/4 granularity on their EoS side. They
offer full interoperability with the data cards of the XDM Product Line and 3rd
parity equipment.

The BroadGate includes the following Ethernet Layer 2 cards:
 BG-20B_L2
 ESW_2G_8F_E
The following sections provide a detailed description of the main functions.
Generic Framing Procedure (GFP)

GFP, defined in ITU-T Rec. G.7041, is a protocol for mapping data packets
into a synchronous transport system like SDH. GFP requires a fixed amount of
overhead for encapsulation that is independent of the data packets. This allows
deterministic matching of bandwidth between the Ethernet flow and the
virtually concatenated SDH stream.
To cater for all mapping requirements, two mapping modes are defined for
GFP:
 Frame mapped - used for connections where efficiency and flexibility are
essential and reasonable latency can be tolerated
 Transparent mapped - facilitates the transport of block-coded client signals
(like Fiber Channel, ESCON, or FICON) that require very low
transmission latency
BroadGate Layer 2 service cards support the GFP-F (frame-based) mode.

Manual
Virtual concatenation (VCAT)

Virtual concatenation, defined in ITU-T Rec. G.707, is a technique used to give
SDH additional flexibility in transporting client signals requiring a bandwidth
that does not match the bandwidth granularity of SDH networks.
The approach used by virtual concatenation is to combine the bandwidth
available on an arbitrary number of SDH containers (configured as a Virtual
Concatenated Group - VCG) in a way that creates a single logical channel
capable of carrying a single byte-synchronous data stream.
With virtual concatenation, the individual containers are transported over the
SDH network independently and then recombined to restore the original
payload signal at the endpoint of the transmission path. Differential delay due
to the different path of each VC is compensated at the end of the path as part of
regrouping the VCs of a VCG.
Virtual concatenation has the following benefits:
 Scalability - allows bandwidth to be selected in VC-4, VC-3, or VC-12
increments as required, to match the desired payload data rate.
 Efficiency - the resulting signals are easily routed through the SDH
network, making more efficient use of available bandwidth on existing
networks.
 Compatibility - virtual concatenation requires only the end nodes to be
aware of the containers being virtually concatenated, making the signals
transparent to the core NEs.
The fine bandwidth management made possible by virtual concatenation is
particularly effective for the efficient transport of data services that inherently
comprise variable bitrates. For example, consider the transport of a partially
filled GbE signal. Although the nominal bandwidth is 1 Gbps, often the
instantaneous rate is only 200 Mbps to 300 Mbps. Thus, continuous allocation
of a bandwidth equal to the peak value (1 Gbps) to this GbE signal, as done in
pure transport applications, wastes on average 70% of the network bandwidth.
With virtual concatenation, an optimal bandwidth, close to the average
bandwidth requirements is selected, for example, a bandwidth of 300 Mbps. To
handle the peak bandwidth requirements, ingress buffers are used to shape the
peak traffic to match the provisioned bandwidth.

Manual
Link Capacity Assignment Scheme (LCAS)

LCAS, defined in ITU-T Rec. G.7042, enables dynamic changes in the amount
of bandwidth used for a virtual concatenation channel. Signaling messages are
exchanged within the SDH overhead in order to change the number of
members included in the VCG. The number of members can either be reduced
or increased, and the resulting bandwidth change is applied without loss of
data.
BroadGate Layer 2 cards support the dynamic bandwidth adjustment provided
by LCAS functionality. Dynamic bandwidth adjustment allows the increasing
or decreasing of the bandwidth of a VCG link. Typical scenarios where this
capability is used include:
 Automatic removal of failed members temporarily from an active virtually
concatenated group and transferring traffic only via the remaining
operational members. When the failure condition is fixed, the Layer 2 card
set adds the members back into the group. This is also useful for traffic
protection.
 Adjusting the link bandwidth to the bandwidth required by an application.
If the bandwidth allocation is only for the average amount of traffic and not
the full peak bandwidth, and the average bandwidth usage changes
overtime, the allocation can be modified to reflect this change.
Layer 2 switching capabilities

The BroadGate Layer 2 cards incorporate Layer 2 Provider Bridge Ethernet
switch that supports VLANs and double tagging per IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1p.
QoS is controlled by four Classes of Service (CoS), together with strict priority
queuing and full buffer allocation per QoS.
To provide prioritized/differentiated services, the client's traffic is policed and
classified as follows:
 The rate of the flow at the ingress is limited according to a configured
Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Committed Burst Size (CBS).
 Each packet is classified according to one of four CoS by marking it with a
configured 802.1Q and a user priority (802.1p).
Client's flows are policed to conform to the specific Service Level Agreement
(SLA). 128 policers are available on each module that can be allocated to each
of the module ports.

Manual
The Weighed Random Early Discard (WRED) technique used to smooth traffic
pattern under congestion conditions supports the policing procedure as follows:
 When traffic exceeds the module capabilities, it must discard packets. Any
TCP client detecting discarded packets will reduce its transmission rate to
half. After packets are no longer discarded, the rate will slowly be
increased as long as there is no packet loss.
 If the module would discard packets only during congestion conditions,
traffic volume would suffer from the sawtooth syndrome: after a series of
packets are discarded, all the clients would drop their rate to half, resulting
in partial utilization of the network, and will together again increase the
rate until the network is congested again.
WRED prevents this behavior by discarding a small part of the packets before
its buffers are full. As a result, only a small number of TCP clients will
decrease their rate and traffic utilization will not drop.
BroadGate Layer 2 cards support WRED, and its characteristics are separately
configurable for each of the four priority classes of the internal Ethernet switch.
FDB Quota Provisioning

Ethernet frames are forwarded according to their Destination MAC address and
VLAN ID. The forwarding information is stored in a Filtering Data Base
(FDB) (routing table). The size of this database is limited; therefore, to free
space for new addresses, the entries are automatically removed after a
configurable aging time. If the address and VID of a packet do not match any
entry in the table, the packet is flooded (sent to all output ports).
MAC address storm from a VPN may occupy all free resources of the address
table. In the absence of free resources, packets with new addresses are not
learned. This causes the addresses to be flooded and overload the egress ports.
The FDB quota provisioning minimizes this effect by letting the operator set a
limited amount of entries (MAC addresses) per VPN (S-VLAN) and block any
client port that exceeds the limit. Although in BroadGate Layer 2 cards
any client may exceed their quota they, since FDB quota violation, reduce the
aging time to minimum to free the FDB from the new entries and block the
interfering client port to prevent it from continuing to overload the FDB.

Manual
Triggers for MSTP

MSTP prevents the creation of loops and enables the protection of Ethernet
traffic by the ring topologies used in SDH networks.
Link bandwidth reduction as a result of failures in VC members of a VCG may
in turn cause service degradation performance. In such cases the MSTP is
activated to change the network topology and overcome the failure. The
BroadGate Layer 2 cards have a set of link capacity related parameters that are
used as triggers for MSTP:
 No members provisioned on the Tx direction
 No members provisioned on the Rx direction
 Partial Loss of Capacity (PLCr) on the receive side
 Partial Loss of Capacity (PLCt) on the transmit side
 Total Loss of Capacity (TLCr) on the receive side
 Total Loss of Capacity (TLTr) on the transmit side
 Link Fail Detection (LFD)
 Remote Defect Indication (RDI) on at least one member in the VCG (only
for VCAT mode)
The threshold values of the TLCr and PLCr can be set by the user.
Standard BPDU Frames

BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) are sent by every bridge in the network to
acknowledge the neighboring bridges of its port roles. This information serves
the system to figure out the roles all its ports play during activation of the
RSTP.
The BroadGate Layer 2 cards support standard BPDU frames, which enable
interoperability with other BroadGate data cards and modules, with XDM data
cards, as well as with 3rd party equipment.

Manual
Port-based VLANs
Client frames may enter the provider's network tagged or untagged. A client
that provides tagged frames attaches his CVLAN (Client VLAN ID) and
priority bits to the Ethernet frames. The provider uses this information to
identify the client and decide how to handle the traffic within his network.
In many cases the provider is not allowed to change the client tagging because
the client needs it to continue the traffic handling at the far end. To facilitate
traffic handling, the provider attaches his SVLAN (Service Provider VLAN)
containing VLAN ID (VID) and CoS bits at the ingress port, and removes them
at the egress.
Attach/Detach VLAN
BroadGate Layer 2 cards enable the provider to add a VLAN tag to incoming
untagged frames. This VLAN is named PVID and is maintained throughout the
network. The PVID enables the operator to identify different clients arriving
from different ports, even after being multiplexed in point-to-multipoint
configurations. The PVID is detached from the frames that are outgoing from
the same port which was configured to attach and detach PVID.
UNI on EoS Ports

The BroadGate Layer 2 cards enable serving client traffic arriving through EoS
ports as if they were received from ETY ports. This enables the provider to
give the client “port extension” services. For example, a client that is far from
the providers' BroadGate Layer 2 card location uses a BroadGate Layer 1 card
to map his Ethernet traffic over SDH, and reaches the provider via the SDH
network. This traffic is directed to a Layer 2 card EoS port. The traffic is
demapped and enters the card. It is then handled as regular traffic that enters
the card via a regular ETY port.
NNI on ETY Ports

BroadGate Layer 2 cards enable configuring the ETY port as NNI. Traffic in
such ports use QinQ where the S-VLAN of the BroadGate Layer 2 cards
network is maintained and transmitted towards the client equipment.

Manual
Additional features
Additional supported features include:
 Autonegotiation - supported by ETY ports to select common transmission
parameters with the customer's equipment connected. The port capable of
transmission at various rates (10/100 Mbps or 10/100/1000 Mbps) and
mode (full duplex) exchanges data with the connected device. The two
devices then choose the best possible mode of operation that is shared by
both, where higher speed is preferred over lower speed.
 Store and Forwarding - mechanism used to check the integrity of the
frame at the ingress port. The frame's Source and Destination Address and
CRC are checked. Only error-free frames are forwarded, and frames with
errors are dropped.
 Layer 2 Control Protocol Handling - Ethernet ports handle some specific
MAC addresses in a special way in order to provide predicted efficient
behavior of the network. As opposed to a standard service frame that is
transported untouched from side to side, these special frames should be
treated differently. For example, PAUSE frames have their meaning only
within the local link and therefore should be discarded immediately upon
reception. Other MAC addresses are configurable to be discarded or
forwarded transparently.
Access Control List

Access Control List (ACL) is a list of permissions attached to an object. The
list specifies who or what is allowed to access the object and what operations
are allowed to be performed on the object. In a typical ACL, each entry in the
list specifies a subject and an operation. One of the most important
implementations is to protect routers from various risks, both accidental and
malicious. Infrastructure protection ACLs should be deployed at network
ingress points.

Manual
Access-Controlled Management
Intelligent management access controls are needed at the customer edge to
keep unauthorized users from accessing the provider’s network. Preventing
denial of service attacks involves deciding whether to accept, discard, or
monitor certain traffic.
Figure 6-1: ACL description

Manual
Port Mirroring
Port mirroring helps the supervisor monitor the network. Port mirroring copies
traffic from a specific port to a target port, namely, copying packets entering or
exiting a port or entering a VLAN, to a local port for local monitoring. This
mechanism helps track network errors or abnormal packet transmission without
interrupting the flow of data. Moreover, the port mirroring feature enables a
basic "lawful interception" application for future development.
Figure 6-2: Port mirroring description
C-VLAN Translation
This unique feature enables the merging of two different customer VLANs
from different locations. Due to the VLAN translation at the edge of the
provider network, two different VLANs that are located in different places can
be merged into one VLAN, or an external S-VLAN of another provider can be
mapped to an internal S-VLAN.
Only one C-VLAN translation per UNI port per VSI is supported.
C-VLAN translation is bidirectional.
C-VLAN Bundling
VLAN bundling carries the traffic of multiple VLANs. Multiple customer
C-VLANs can map through a single Ethernet service on the UNI. All-to-one
bundling is a special case whereby all customer VLANs map to a single
Ethernet service at the UNI.

Manual
Ingress/Egress C-VLAN Filtering

Ingress/Egress C-VLAN filtering is a means of filtering out undesired traffic on
a port. When VLAN filtering is enabled, packets are only accepted or
transmitted into a port if they match the VLAN configuration of that port.
Based on whether the port is on the ingress list of the VLAN associated with a
frame, the port determines whether the frame can be processed.
Layer 2 Card Services

BroadGate Layer 2 cards support the following services:
 TLS (Transparent LAN Service) - connects multiple ports belonging to
the same customers over shared SDH bandwidth, with user-defined grades
of service.
 VLL (Virtual Leased Line) - connects two external ports over shared
SDH bandwidth.
 Dedicated VLL - VLL service over SDH capacity dedicated only to a
single customer. Provides zero packet loss, virtually no delay, and zero
delay variation.
 Guaranteed VLL - VLL with zero frame loss rate and bounded delay and
delay variation.
 ISP connectivity - a single port configured as an ISP port connected to
multiple customer ports (up to a maximum of 4096).
 Ethernet Private Line (EPL) - support provisioning to provide EPL
services point-to-point interconnection between two Ethernet UNI over
dedicated EoS trails.
Multiple types of services can be provisioned on one port, where each service
is policed independently at the ingress. This imposes a strict limit on the input
rate, separately for each service.
The customer may mark frames destined for different services based on port
802.1Q and 802.1p tag.

Manual
MPLS Service Cards

The MPLS family cards are the MPLS Carrier Class Switch cards for the
BroadGate Product line. They enable service providers to build a cost-effective
carrier class Ethernet network over new and existing SDH networks,
supporting any Ethernet-based application and service, including business
connectivity (VPLS), triple play (IPTV Drop and Continue multicast), 3G
mobile services, and wholesale/Carrier of Carrier (CoC) Ethernet leased line
(LL) and bandwidth services, all with carrier grade capability.
The MPLS cards offer up to 3.5 Gbps Ethernet and/or MPLS switching
capacity and up to 2.5 Gbps EoS bandwidth.
The MPLS cards incorporate the following functions:
 Ethernet Provider Bridge (QinQ) switch – a standard base 802.1d/q/ad
bridge/switch.
 MPLS Layer 2 switch – a standard base IETF MPLS and ITU-T T-MPLS
switch supporting Ethernet PW (Pseudo Wire), VPLS (Virtual Private LAN
Service), and P2MP multicast trees.
 SDH mapper – supporting standard Ethernet, and MPLS mapping to
GFP/VCAT/LCAS with SDH VC-12/3/4 granularity.

Manual
SM_C37.94
The SM_C37.94 module provides two teleprotection interfaces per IEEE
C37.94 for the SM_10E. The interfaces enable transparent communication
between different vendors' teleprotection equipment and multiplexer devices,
using multimode optical fibers.
In general, teleprotection equipment is employed to control and protect
different system elements in electricity distribution lines.
Traditionally, the interface between teleprotection equipment and multiplexers,
in high-voltage environments at electric utilities, was copper-based. This media
transfers the critical information to the network operation center. These
high-speed, low-energy signal interfaces are vulnerable to intra-substation
electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI and RFI), signal ground
loops, and ground potential rise, which considerably reduce the reliability of
communications during electrical faults.
The optimal solution is based on optical fibers. Optical fibers do not have
ground paths and are immune to noise interference, which eliminates data
errors common to electrical connections.

Overview
BGW-E platforms are Multiservice RAdio Node (MRAN) expansion shelves
that provide microwave capabilities to the BroadGate Product Line Family.
The BGW-E is available in two options:
 BGW-20E - for use with the BG-20B
 BGW-E - for use with the BG-30B or BG-64

BGW-E MRAN Expansion Shelves BroadGate Product Line Reference
Manual
BGW-E and BGW-20E platforms are 2RU high density modular radio add-ons
for multiservice base units. The BGW-E/20E expansion shelves support the
complete range of native and hybrid TDM, PDH, SDH, and Ethernet services,
over microwave, fiber, or electrical media, with up to six radio directions. This
is a versatile, scalable, cost-effective add-on for existing BroadGate MSPP
platforms. Integrating this add-on platform into the network configuration is
not traffic-affecting.
Figure 8-1: BGW-20E expansion unit
The BGW-E/20E platforms share the following basic design.

 Three multiservice traffic slots can be used for radio, data, or TDM traffic,
depending on the card used.
 BroadGate MSPP I/O extension cards are used for data and TDM
traffic.
 An MW_2M base card in the traffic slot accommodates one or two
MIF_E or MIF_EX cards for transmitting radio signals.
Radio input is transmitted from a radio antenna via coaxial cable to the
MIF modules. The radio signal is then demuxed into any combination
of GbE and TDM signals and routed through the backplane to the
appropriate destination in the base platform.
BGW-E/20E platforms work in the BroadGate MSPP base platforms
with the MW_2M base card.
 Redundant pathways are provided for each interface type, providing a wide
range of configuration options with enhanced resilience.
 Up to two INF modules provide redundant power sources.
 An FCU with multiple fans provides redundant cooling capabilities.

Manual
RAP-4B
The RAP-4B is a power distribution and alarm panel for BG, XDM small
shelves, and SR9600 Series shelves installed in racks. The RAP-4B performs
the following main functions:
 Power distribution for up to four protected XDM 100, BG Product
Line, or SR9600 Series shelves, installed on the same rack. The nominal
DC power voltage is 48 VDC or 60 VDC. Since these Product Line shelves
can use redundant power sources, the RAP-4B supports connection to two
separate DC power circuits.
Each DC power circuit of each shelf is protected by a circuit breaker, which
also serves as a power on/off switch for the corresponding circuit. The
required circuit breakers are included in the installation parts kit supplied
with the shelves, and therefore their current rating is in accordance with the
order requirements. The CB rating installed in the RAP-4B for feeding a
single shelf is 35 A maximum. The total power that can be provided by the
RAP-4B is up to 4 x 1.1 kW (maximum total power 4.4 kW).
NOTE: The maximum power that can be supplied by the

RAP-4B to a single shelf will not be more than 1.1 kW.
The circuit breakers are installed during the RAP-4B installation. To

prevent accidental changing of a circuit breaker state, the circuit breakers
can be reached only after opening the front cover of the RAP-4B. The
circuit breaker state (ON or OFF) can be seen through translucent covers.
 Bay alarm indications: The RAP-4B includes three alarm indicators, one
for each alarm severity. When alarms of different severities are received
simultaneously, the different alarm indications light simultaneously.
NOTE: BG shelves support only two alarm indications:

Major and Minor.
A buzzer is activated whenever a Major or Critical alarm is present in

XDM shelves connected to the RAP-4B. In case of BG shelves connected
to the RAP-4B, the buzzer is activated whenever a Major alarm is present
in the BG shelves.
 Connection of alarms from up to four XDM or BG shelves, each shelf
with maximum four alarm inputs and two alarm outputs.

ICP_MCP30
Due to limited space on the MCP30 or MCP64 panel, a single connector is
placed on the MCP30 or MCP64 front panel for the following auxiliary
interfaces: External Alarms, RS-232, orderwire, and V.11. If none of these
interfaces is used in your application, there is no need to install the
ICP_MCP30. If only an External Alarms interface is used in your application,
there is no need to install the ICP_MCP30. Instead, you can use a special alarm
cable provided by ECI Telecom to lead only the External Alarms interface.
Otherwise, the ICP_MCP30 should be configured to distribute the concentrated
Auxiliary connector into dedicated connectors for each function.
The ICP_MCP30 is connected to the MCP30 or MCP64 using a back-to-back
cable.
The following figure shows the ICP_MCP30.

Manual
Fiber Storage Tray

When optical modules are used, the BG can be supplied with an FST where a
length of surplus optical fiber is stored to enable hot module replacement
without disconnecting fibers from other modules in the shelf. The FST can hold
up to 48 x 3 m 2-mm fibers.
The FST can be opened in two positions:
 Halfway (first click when pulling the tray out)
 Completely (to enable threading of the fibers in the tray)
Figure 9-19: FST top view

Manual
Optical Distribution Frame

When there are a large number of optical fibers connected to a BG, additional
connection arrangements may be required.
ECI Telecom recommends using an ODF installed in the BG racks to terminate
the external fibers with the proper optical connectors.
The ODF provides a flexible and reliable solution for interfacing between
outside plant optical fiber cables and fiber optical terminal equipment. It is
designed to handle termination, splicing, and storage for excess length of
pigtails and patch cords.
The unit is 1U high, and can be installed in ETSI A and ETSI B racks, as well
as in 19” racks using its configurable rack mounting brackets. An additional set
of brackets supplied with the installation kit enables installation in 7’ bay, 23”
racks. The ODF is available with 12 or 24 ports, and SC, FC, or LC connectors.
Figure 9-20: ODF internal view

Manual
All fiber connections are made on a swing-out tray that opens to the right at 90°
and houses the splicing trays, optical adapter panels, and the fiber support.
Left-side tray opening is available per order. The swing-out tray enables quick
and easy access to all internal parts for connection or maintenance activities.
The fiber connections are protected by a front cover, which latches to the
assembly and prevents unintended disconnection of fibers.
Figure 9-21: ODF front panel
Optical terminal fibers can enter the ODF from the right or left side and be
connected to the optical adapters from one side. Pigtails connect to the adapters
from the other side. Excess length of pigtails and patch cords are threaded on a
fiber support that maintains the minimum bend radius to prevent fiber breaks.
A durable and robust tube leads the external fibers cable to the swing-out tray
and protects them from breaks. The adapters are arranged on panels in groups
of four or two (depending on the total number of ports). A large space between
the adapters enables easy access to each individual fiber and quick
reconfiguration.
Optical Patch Panel

When a large number of equipment optical ports have to be connected to the
optical network and splicing to external fibers (as in the ODF) is not required,
ECI Telecom recommends the use of the OPP.
The OPP is designed for terminating and distributing optical fibers, and can
work as a cross connection and testing point between the optical network and
the equipment. It provides a quick and flexible solution for cable management.
The OPP is 1U high and can be installed in ETSI A, ETSI B, and 19” racks
using its configurable rack-mounting brackets. The OPP is available with 12 or
24 ports, and SC, LC, and FC connectors.
All connections are made on the internal connector panel, which
accommodates duplex connectors. This prevents unintended disconnection of
fibers and supports the connection reliability. The optical fibers are connected
to the connectors from both sides. The fibers enter the OPP from the left or
right side and are threaded on special supports that maintain the minimum bend
radius to prevent fiber breaks.

Manual
A two-position moving tray provides easy access to the fibers for management
or maintenance purposes.
Figure 9-22: OPP top view

Manual
xDDF-21
The PME1_21 supports only balanced E1s directly from its connectors. For
unbalanced E1s, an external DDF with E1 balanced-to-unbalanced conversion
must be configured.
When unbalanced 75 Ω interfaces are required, the xDDF-21 patch panel
enables connection and conversion of these interfaces to the balanced 120 Ω
interfaces of the PME1_21.
The xDDF-21 is 1U high and can be installed in ETSI A and ETSI B racks, as
well as in 19” racks. It has a capacity of 21 E1 lines.
The following figure shows a general view of the patch panel. The channel
numbers of the various connectors are marked on the patch panel, and the
inside of the cover contains a label for cable identification (illustrated in the
following figure). The customer’s cables are connected to the connectors inside
the patch panel, while the cable leading from the PME1_21 connector is
connected to the SCSI connectors at the rear of the xDDF-21. A special split
cable is available to convert the output from the PME1_21 to SCSI connector
pairs at the back of the xDDF-21.
The xDDF-21 can be supplied with BT43, DIN1.6/5.6, or BNC connectors for
connecting to the customer’s traffic cables.

Cable Guiding Accessories

Different accessories are available for guiding cables and fibers in rack
installations.
Cable Guide Frame

The cable guide frame for the BG is used to obtain a tidy route of electrical
interface cables connecting to the panels of modules (or to the panels of the
TPMs in I/O-protected installations).
The unit is fastened to the rack side rails just above the top of the BG shelves.
Figure 9-25: Cable guide

Manual
PME1_63 Cable Guide and Holder

The PME1_63 cable guide and holder is a dedicated accessory for handling the
special PME1_63 traffic cable (see Traffic Cable for PME1_63 (on page 5-6)).
It keeps the cable in the right position, so that cable will not interrupt closing
the rack's door .It also keeps neatly route of the PME1_63 traffic cable in its
short path, between the PME1_63 module and the conversion box (part of the
cable). The groups of three holes in the upper part of the accessory are used to
attach a cable tie that fastens the cable. The groups of three grooves in the
accessory are used to attach a Velcro strip (if necessary) that fastens the
installed cable. The accessory should always be installed above the BG shelf.

Overview
This chapter presents the terms used to describe SDH network topologies. As
the topology of networks is determined by communication requirements, the
actual topology of any practical network is often a combination of several basic
topologies.
Because of the flexible, fine granularity of their cross-connect matrix, BG-20,
BG-30 and BG-64 shelves can support any network topology. Moreover, they
can easily adapt to changing network topologies, as the customer’s needs
evolve.

SDH Topologies BroadGate Product Line Reference
Manual
Point-to-Point Topology
A point-to-point topology is usually used to connect a terminal multiplexer
(TM) to an access node with an ADM.
The link requires two fibers. An additional set of fibers can be used for
protection, which can be implemented using SNCP or MSP 1+1.

Ring Topology
The ring topology is the basic topology for reliable SDH networks. The ring
provides two propagation directions, thus providing a redundant path for
recovery from the failure of any single segment.

Manual
Multiring Topology
The multiring topology consists of several rings that interconnect at certain
nodes. The main ring thus provides connectivity among the secondary rings.
Applications include metro and resilient backhaul networks.
When a secondary ring (for example, the top ring) joins the main ring at two
different nodes, it can provide additional protection paths.

Mesh Topology
The mesh topology consists of nodes interconnected by many point-to-point
links. This provides dense connectivity among the nodes.
NOTE: The border between multiring and mesh topologies is

often blurred. For example, the network shown in the
following figure could be easily redrawn as a complex set of
interconnected rings.

Overview
The BroadGate Product Line supports various high-reliability traffic protection
mechanisms, including SDH Path/Circuit Protection Schemes and MSP 1+1 in
SDH level. Moreover, for Ethernet traffic, the BroadGate Product Line
supports LCAS-based protection. Collectively, these BroadGate Product Line
proven redundancy mechanisms ensure the complete integrity of all traffic
transfers.

SDH Path/Circuit Protection

Schemes
The BroadGate Product Line features path and circuit protection over ring and
mesh topologies, as follows:
 Dual route path protection
 Sub Network Connection Protection (SNCP): enhanced dual-route path
protection over mesh topologies
SNCP
SNCP provides independent trail protection for individual subnetworks
connected to the BroadGate Product Line platforms. Combined with the
system’s drop-and-continue capability, SNCP is a powerful defense against
multifailure conditions in a mesh topology. By integrating SNCP into the
BroadGate Product Line, operators achieve superior traffic availability figures.
Therefore, SNCP is extremely important for leased lines or other traffic
requiring superior SLA availability.
The BroadGate Product Line supports both SNCP/N and SNCP/I at any VC
level (VC-4, VC-3, VC-12). The SNCP mode can be configured through the
EMS-BGF/LCT-BGF per VC. The BroadGate Product Line enables automatic
SNCP switching, without operator intervention or path redefinition. The
BroadGate Product Line can support path protection even when the MXC20,
MCP30, or MCP64 fails or is out. The result is exceptionally fast protection
switching in less than 30 msec, with typical switching taking only a few
milliseconds. Protection switching is performed via the cross-connect matrix in
the MXC20, XIO30, or XIO64 cards.
MSP 1+1
The BroadGate Product Line provides unidirectional and bidirectional Linear
Multiple Section Protection (MSP 1+1). The MSP 1+1 scheme is designed to
protect single optical links, including fibers and SFP modules. This type of
protection is most suitable for appendage TM/star links for providing four-fiber
protection in chain topologies.
The BG-20 can support the following MSP 1+1 groups of STM-1/4 interfaces:
 Ant two STM-1 interfaces in the BG-20B and BG-20E shelf (MXC-20,
SMD1/SMD1H, S1_4)
 Any two STM-4 interfaces in the BG-20B shelf (MXC-20,
OMS4B/OMS4H)

BroadGate Product Line Reference BroadGate Product Line Protection
Manual Mechanisms
The BG-30 and BG-64 enable both unidirectional and bidirectional automatic
MSP 1+1 switching, without operator intervention or path redefinition. The
BG-30/BG-64 can support unidirectional MSP 1+1 protection even when the
MCP30/MCP64 fails or is out. To support bidirectional MSP 1+1 protection,
the MCP30/MCP64 is needed. MSP1+1 protection switching is performed via
the cross-connect matrix in the XIO30/XIO64 cards.
The BG-30 can support a MSP 1+1 group of two STM-1/4/16 interfaces, as
follows:
 Any two STM-1 interfaces of XIO30, SMD1B, S1_4, SMQ1&4
 Any two STM-4 interfaces of XIO30, SMS4, SMD4, SMQ1&4, S4_1
 Any two STM-16 interfaces of XIO30, SMS16
The BG-64 can support MSP 1+1 group of any two STM-1/4/16/64 interfaces,
as follows:
 Any two STM-1 interfaces of SMQ1&4;
 Any two STM-4 interfaces of SMQ1&4
 Any two STM-16 interfaces of SMS16
 Two STM-64 interfaces of XIO64
The following figure shows a four-fiber star BroadGate Product Line with all
links protected. This ensures uninterrupted service even in the case of a double
fault. The BroadGate Product Line automatically performs MSP switching
within 50 msec.
Figure 11-1: MSP 1+1 protection modes
NOTE: More than two STM-n interfaces will be supported in

later versions.

Mechanisms Manual
MS-SPRing
In addition to SNCP protection that may also be implemented in mesh
topologies, BG supports MS-SPRing that provides bandwidth advantages for
selected ring-based traffic patterns.
Two-fiber MS-SPRing supports any 2.5 Gbps rings closed by BG via the
XIO30_16/XIO16_4 card or 10Gbps rings closed by BG via XIO64 card, in
compliance with applicable ITU T standards. This is fully automatic and
performed in less than 50 msec.
MS-SPRing can support LO traffic arriving at the nodes in the same way it
does HO traffic. LO traffic support on MS-SPRing is unique to BG, as it is a
genuine MSPP.
In MS-SPRing modes, the STM-n signal is divided into working and protection
capacity per MS. In case of a failure in one MS of the ring, the protection
capacity loops back the affected traffic at both ends of the faulty MS. BG
supports the full squelching protocol to prevent traffic misconnections in cases
of failure at isolated nodes. Trails to be dropped at such nodes are muted to
prevent their being delivered to the wrong destination.
MS-SPRing is particularly beneficial in ring applications with uniform or
adjacent traffic patterns, as it offers significant capacity advantages compared
to other protection schemes.
The following figure shows a BG in a two-fiber MS-SPRing. In this
configuration, two fibers are connected between each site. Each fiber delivers
50% of the active and 50% of the shared protection traffic. For example, in an
STM-16 ring, eight VC-4s are active and eight VC-4s are reserved for shared
protection.

Manual Mechanisms
In the event of a fiber cut between sites A and D, traffic is transported through
sites B and C on the black portion of the counterclockwise fiber. The switch in
traffic is triggered by the APS protocol that transmits control signals over the
K1 and K2 bytes in the fiber from site D to site A.
Figure 11-2: Two-fiber protection
Extra traffic capability is also supported, enabling users to use the protecting
VC-4s to carry extra traffic that is dropped in case of a failure in the protected
VC-4s. Thus, the total capacity of the ring is used, provided there are no
network failures. The extra traffic itself is, of course, not protected.
Dual-Node Interconnection with MS-SPRing

When the working and protection fiber pairs travel in separate ducts, two rings
can be connected via a dual link over two different nodes. This enables the
network to overcome multiple failures like fiber cuts or node failures, thereby
improving traffic availability in the network.

Mechanisms Manual
Integration of Low-Order SNCP and

MS-SPRing
BG can simultaneously close MS-SPRing-protected metro-core rings and
SNCP-protected edge-access rings within the same NE. LO traffic can be
transported directly from multiple edge-access rings to the metro-core ring
transparently, without external XCs or mediation equipment. This reduces floor
space and costs, and improves site reliability.
Dual-Route Path Protection

The BroadGate Product Line platforms support highly efficient advanced rings
over meshes that provide inherent protection in the event of a traffic-affecting
circuitry or link failure. In this mode, the protection paradigm is a self-healing
path protection scheme.
Any level VC (VC-4, VC-3, VC-12) trail protection may be selected from any
two STM-n interfaces. Since the BroadGate Product Line platform function as
a multi-ADM and DXC in mesh environments, any interface, port, and/or card
can be selected as working or protection. This flexibility enables the BroadGate
Product Line to integrate with other network nodes, and provide end-to-end
network path protection regardless of network topology. This integrated path
protection capability enables operators to smoothly integrate the BroadGate
Product Line platforms into existing networks.

Manual Mechanisms
The path protection switching operates automatically via the cross-connect

matrix in the MXC20 card in BG-20, the XIO30 card in BG-30, or XIO64 in
BG-64 and does not require operator intervention or path recalculation. The
BG-20, BG-30, and BG-64 can support path protection even when the MXC20,
MCP30 or MCP64 fails or is out. The result is an exceptionally fast switch to
protection lower than 30 msec.
Figure 11-3: Path protection switching in a bidirectional self-healing ring
The dual-route path protection scheme is topology-independent. It can be used

in any complex network topology such as multiring or mesh. Protection is
performed at service endpoints. This ensures service protection regardless of
network topology or intermediate equipment. Route diversity protection
ensures seamless protection integration and interoperability of the BG-20,
BG-30 and BG-64 systems with any other SDH equipment.

Mechanisms Manual
Ethernet Service Protection

Ethernet service can be protected at the SDH level, but can also be protected by
the following protection mechanisms:
 LCAS-based EoS channel protection: When a VC Group (VCG) is used
to carry Ethernet services, members of a VCG can be divided into several
subgroups, each using a different physical path. Thanks to LCAS and the
Ethernet card’s powerful differential delay compensation capability, when
some paths fail, invalid members can be removed through LCAS while the
remaining members continue to transmit services. When the invalid
members return to normal, bandwidth can be increased hitlessly.
LCAS-based protection supports service transmission via the operation and
protection channels simultaneously, thus increasing the bandwidth
utilization ratio.
 MSTP-based protection: All BG L2 cards (BG-20B_L2, BG-20B_L2M,
BG-20C, ME_2G_4F, MPS_2G_8F, ESW_2G_8F_E, DMFE_4_L2,
DMFX_4_L2, DMGE_2_L2) support RSTP (IEEE 802.1w) and Multiple
Spanning Tree instances – MSTP (IEEE 802.1s). The MSTP takes
advantage of point-to-point wiring and provides rapid convergence of the
spanning tree. Reconfiguration of the spanning tree can occur in less than
one second (in contrast to 50 seconds with the default settings in the
802.1D STP), which is critical for networks carrying delay-sensitive traffic.
MSTP, which uses RSTP for rapid convergence, enables VLANs to be
grouped into a spanning-tree instance, with each instance having a
spanning-tree topology independent of other spanning-tree instances. This
architecture provides multiple forwarding paths for data traffic, enables
load balancing, and reduces the number of spanning-tree instances required
to support a large number of VLANs.
 Fast Reroute (FRR): All MPLS cards (including BG-20B_L2M, BG-20C,
ME_2G_4F, MPS_2G_8F, DMFE_4_L2, DMFX_4_L2, DMGE_2_L2)
support FRR protection. FRR is a local restoration network resiliency
mechanism for MPLS tunnel. In MPLS local protection each LSP passing
through a facility is protected by a backup path which originates at the node
immediately upstream to that facility. This node which redirects the traffic
onto the preset backup path is called the Point of Local Repair (PLR), and
the node where a backup LSP merges with the primary LSP is called Merge
Point (MP). This mechanism provides faster recovery because the decision
of recovery is strictly local. The recovery time can be sub 50 msec.

Manual Mechanisms
 Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP per G.8032): is an enhanced protection

mechanism for Ethernet networks, defined by ITU-T G.8032 standard. It
supports improved resiliency, manageability, and reliability of metro
Ethernet networks, offering switching to protection time in less than 50
msec. The standard has the ability to protect against both link and
equipment faults.
Each node in the ring protection network has two ring ports (East and
West) and a number of local ports. One link in the ring is designated as the
Ring Protection Link (RPL) and used only for redundancy. One node,
connected to the RPL, is selected as the RPL owner, and is responsible to
block traffic on the RPL in normal operation (Idle state) and unblock it
when a failure is detected (Protection state).
When a failure is detected, the nodes adjacent to the failure block the failed
link and report this failure to the ring, using an R-APS Signal Failure (SF)
message. The message triggers the RPL owner to unblock the RPL, and all
nodes to perform FDB flushing. The ring is now in protection state.
When the failed link recovers, the nodes adjacent to the recovered link
transmit an R-APS No Request (NR) message, indicating they have no
local request. When the RPL owner receives the R-APS message it starts a
Wait to Restore (WTR) timer. Once the WTR expires, the RPL owner
blocks the RPL and transmits an R-APS (NR, RB) No Request, Root
Blocked message. The nodes receiving the message perform a selective
FDB flush for the relevant port and unblock their previously blocked port.
The ring returns to normal operation (idle state).
LAG (Link Aggregation) Support

Ethernet Link Aggregation (LAG) protection is based on standard Ethernet link
aggregation schemes (IEEE 802.3ad).Link Aggregation or trunking is a method
of, set of multiple parallel physical links between two devices is grouped
together to form a single logical link.
With Link aggregation we are able to increase the capacity and availability of
the communications channel between platforms using existing Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet and 10GE interfaces. Two or more Ethernet interfaces
connections are combined in order to increase the bandwidth capability and to
create resilient and redundant links.
Link Aggregation provides the following benefits:
 Higher link protection
 Higher link capacity
 Links load balancing

Mechanisms Manual
Higher Link Protection - Link aggregation prevents the failure of any single
interface from leading to a disruption of the communications between the
interconnected platforms. The loss of a link within an aggregation reduces the
available capacity but the connection is maintained and the data flow is not
interrupted.
The BG PL supports up to seven logical links. Each single logical link is
composed up to four physical links (Ethernet LAN or EoS WAN ports). When
one (or more) physical link fails, the failed link capacity is removed until that
link recovers. The network continues to function correctly without the failed
link.
LAG is available for both Ethernet (LAN ports) and EoS (WAN ports). The
following figure illustrates the LAG approach. Two variations are displayed,
one for Ethernet ports and one for EoS WAN ports.
Figure 11-4: BG link aggregation examples
Link members are added and removed through the network management
system.
Higher Link Capacity - The performance is improved because the capacity of
an aggregated link is higher than each individual link alone. Standard LAN
technology provides data rates of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, 1000 Mb/s and 10GE.
Link Aggregation can fill the gaps of these available data rates when an
intermediate performance level is more appropriate. If a higher capacity than
1000 Mb/s is needed, the user can group several 1000 Mb/s interfaces adapters
together to form a high speed connection.
Links Load Balancing - Link Aggregation also provides load balancing where
the processing and communications activity is distributed across several links
in a trunk so that no single link is overwhelmed. The BG PL supports fixed
load-sharing algorithm of “MAC DA XOR MAC SA”, it’s automatically
configured (the user doesn’t need to configure the option of load-sharing
algorithm).
