PRESENT TRANSPORT SCENARIO
 BSNL transport network was designed and deployed for
mostly for TDM traffic

 SDH network comprising of STM-1 CPE, STM-1 ADM, STM-4,

STM-16 ADM, STM-16 MADM and STM-64 carrying TDM
traffic.

 DWDM systems ( 2.5G& 10G) and Digital Cross Connect

(DXCs) are working for linear long Distance

 Ethernet over SDH (EoSDH) all SDH,DWDM& DXC

Equipment carrying some Ethernet traffic

 PRESENT TRANSPORT SCENARIO

 Rapidly Changing New Technology needs Network of Packet

Transport

 Need for Ethernet Interfaces only for new technology

equipment

 New Technology-Mobile, Broadband and NGN for fixed

access supporting only Ethernet interfaces for
interconnection.

 Now The Network transportation requirement shifted from

TDM to almost l00% Packet transport.

For internal circulation of BSNL only

Limitation of circuit switched network

 The requirement of TDM transport is rapidly vanishing.

 Packet transport, utilizing TDM networks for the same

becomes inefficient and costly.

 TDM Network do not support different class of service

 TDM Network not effective in aggregation and dynamic

statistical multiplexing etc.

 TDM Network not suitable for efficient delivery of services.

MPLS-TP
 The goal of MPLS-TP is to provide connection-oriented
transport.

 To enable MPLS to support packet transport services with a

similar degree of predictability, reliability, and OAM to that
found in existing transport networks

 OAM and resiliency features to ensure the capabilities

needed for carrier-grade transport networks

 Scalable operations, high availability, performance

monitoring and multi-domain support

 What is CPAN?

 CPAN: Converged Packet Access Network

 CPAN is a profile of MPLS for transport networks.

 CPAN is also known as MPLS-TP. CPAN (Multi-Protocol Label

Switching – Transport Profile

 It is a joint effort by IEEE & ITU-T to have a technology

that meets all the requirements of transport networks but is
packet switched in nature.

 It takes a subset of MPLS/GMPLS protocol suite and adds a

few extensions to address transport network requirements

For internal circulation of BSNL only

 CPAN
 CPAN is Connection-oriented Packet transport Network

 Developed for Packet and TDM services over optical networks

leveraging the widely deployed MPLS technology.

 CPAN based on MPLS to be deployed in a transport network

and operated in a similar manner to existing transport
technologies (SDH/SONET/OTN)

 CPAN to support packet transport services with a similar degree

of predictability, reliability, and OAM to that found in existing
transport networks

CPAN
NMS in CAPN provides well-known FCAPS management
functions which are: fault, configuration, accounting,
performance, and security management.

CPAN provides dynamic provisioning of CPAN transport paths

via a control plane.

It facilitates end-to-end path provisioning across network or

operator domains.

CPAN was need for the circuits in Packet Transport Networks.

It Makes Packet Transport Network very similar to the TDM

networks and simplifies management and migration of the
transport network.

 CPAN

 CPAN based on MPLS-TP does not have all Traditional features

MPLS for Packet Transport Network

 Some of The features of Traditional MPLS is removed

 MPLS Control Plane, PHP,LSP Merge, Equal Cost Multipath are

not necessary in CPAN Based on MPLS-TP

FEATURES OF CPAN

 It is strictly connection oriented

 No modifications to existing MPLS data plane
 IP or IP routing is not required for packet forwarding
 Interoperates/interworks with existing MPLS and pseudo-wire
control and data planes
 It is client-agnostic (can carry L3, L2, L1 services)
 It is physical layer agnostic (can run over IEEE Ethernet
PHYs, SONET/SDH [G.783] and OTN [G.709],[G.872] using
GFP [G.7041], WDM, etc.)
 It allows network provisioning via a centralized NMS and/or a
distributed control plane

CPAN APPLICABILITY AND
DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS

CPAN enhancements are primarily applicable to the access

and aggregation networks

OAM enhancements will allow service providers to have

better visibility into their existing MPLS-based core networks

The new OAM capabilities will also help the wholesale

business (EB Customers)by improving the tools required to
measure and enforce strict SLAs.

 The planned A,B & C Nodes will perform the function of

transport & aggregation of traffic from all access points
such as BTS, Node Bs, RNCs, MSCs, MPLS-PE Routers,
FTTH OLTs, DSLAMs etc.

between POPS located within same city will be served by
Type C nodes.

 Type A nodes can be very effectively used to replace

present CPEs.
