This topic is to provide you with the knowledge
and skills on the Basic NIB equipements viz
OCLAN, RPR T1 and T2 Switches and BNG with
their functions, requirements and their
intermingle connectivity for providing access
points not only for UFBB services (xDSL and
FTTH services) but also connectivity of wifi
hotspots, RNC, Wimax, ILL, NGN and IP TAX etc.
Broadband Components can be
segregated as :-

Customer Premises
Equipment (CPEs)

Broadband Network
Elements(BBNEs)

Servers
(SSSC, AAA, LDAP, DNS
SSSS and etc.)
 Broadband Network- at a glance
Access layer:
• Access layer is the one which faces the customer side and all the
access devices such as DSLAM/OLT,CPE(MODEM/ONT/ONU), Set-
Top box , etc. , gets connected.

Aggregation layer:
• As name depicts , this layer aggregates all the access traffic and
pass it to the Core or gateway.
Core/Gateway:
• All the Aggregated traffic is assigned Qos/traffic policy and make
its way to the global internet via the gateway.
Broadband Network Elements:
Devices at Aggregation layer
Resilient Packet Ring(RPR) Switch:
• The traffic from access devices and
remote aggregation devices is
aggregated in RPR and forwarded to the
Core Network.
• Resilience: Proactive span protection
automatically avoids failed span within
50ms
• Ring Topology gives the scalable option of
having more than 100 nodes in a ring.
• RPR has the ability to differentiate
between low & high priority packets.
 Broadband Network Elements:
Devices at Core Network/Gateway

Broadband Network Gateway (BNG)

• It routes traffic to and from broadband remote access
devices DSLAMs /OLTs on an Internet service
provider's (ISP) network.
• It works as Multi Service Edge Router(MSER).
• Service specific logical mini routers are configured in
BNG called context or routing instances.
• BNG maps the traffic coming from access networks
elements and forward to uplink L3PE VLANs IP MPLS
Network through corresponding service context.
 Broadband Network Elements:
Devices at Core Network/Gateway

Broadband Network Gateway (BNG)

• Provides layer 2 connectivity through either

transparent bridging or PPP sessions over
Ethernet or ATM sessions
• Authentication, Authorization and accounting
processes happen via radius servers configured
logically in BNG.
 Broadband Network Elements:
Devices at Core Network/Gateway

Broadband Network Gateway (BNG)

• Enforces quality of service (Qos) policies.

• Provides layer 3 connectivity and routes
IP traffic through an Internet service
provider’s backbone network to the
Internet.
