1 Overview

The following includes the basic information of the CiTRANS 660.

Brief Introduction

Network Application

Version: D 1
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

1.1 Brief Introduction

The following introduces the architecture and features of the CiTRANS 660.

1.1.1 Equipment Architecture

Under the trend of IP (Internet Protocol) telecommunication services, the services


that the transport network bears change from TDM (Time Division Multiplex and
Multiplexer) predomination to IP predomination; new types of services emerging on
the transmission network have a higher demand of data type diversity which the
transmission network can bear.

The CiTRANS 660, based on the packet technology, is the transport equipment
offered by FiberHome. With the packet switching as its inner core, the equipment
implements the transportation of multi-services at multi-rates. It combines the
flexibility of the Ethernet with the high reliability and security of the transport network
to meet the service development trend toward IP.

The CiTRANS 660 not only uses the MPLS-TP (Multi-Protocol Label Switching
Transport Profile) forward technology that is especially optimized for the
telecommunication bearer network, but also configures complete OAM (Operation,
Administration and Maintenance) and protection switching mechanism. It acquires
the advantage of both the packet transport network and the TDM network, and
provides carrier-class services.

1.1.2 Product Feature

The main features of the CiTRANS 660 include the following aspects:

u Service capability

4 Provides abundant layer-2 service features such as layer-2 VLAN (Virtual


Local Area Network).

4 Provides mature VPN (Virtual Private Network) services, and supports


L2VPN (Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks), such as the VPLS (Virtual
Private LAN Service) / VPWS (Virtual Private Wire Service).

u Network and grooming capability

2 Version: D
1 Overview

Taking advantage of the network, protection, operating and maintenance


capability of the TDM / MSTP, the equipment uses the IP-based core to provide
the powerful resilient bandwidth distribution, statistical multiplexing and
differentiated service capacity. The equipment also provides client side
interfaces for Ethernet and TDM services, making itself applicable to the
flexible access, convergence and statistical multiplexing for the fine-grained
service with high CoS (Class of Service).

u Multi-service transmission capability

With the PWE3 technology, the equipment implements uniform service


encapsulation, provides the end-to-end transparent transmission path in
service forwarding, and performs Ethernet, CES and STM-1 service
transmission.

u Security design

The CiTRANS 660 provides comprehensive security protection measures to


protect network data for carriers and end users. The security features are as
follows:

4 Supports ACLs (Access Control Lists) based on the forwarding plane and
control plane.

4 Supports data traffic control and policing.

4 Provides queue buffering management, queue scheduling, port rate


limiting, protection against malformed packets, suppression of broadcast,
multicast, and flooding packets, and protection against network attacks
such as IP address spoofing protection.

4 Supports allocation and management of user levels and rights and user
access control.

4 Has multiple security mechanisms to ensure network management data


security, protect data integrity and confidentiality, and implement database
security management.

4 Provides a comprehensive log management function to allow users to


query logs when system security is damaged.

u Carrier-class security protection

Version: D 3
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

Supports security protection required by the carrier-class network, including a


service protection switching time that is less than 50 ms and the security
protection functions of carrier-class transport network, such as the end-to-end 1
+1 / 1:1 protection and ring network protection.

u Carrier-class OAM capabilities

Supports high-performance hierarchical OAM mechanisms so that faults can


be located in a real-time and accurate manner in a complicated network.
Supports alarm and performance applications of OAM such as CC, LB, LT, AIS,
RDI, LCK, TST, LM and DM.

u Low transmission cost per bit

Compared with the TDM, the MPLS-TP performs built-in statistic multiplexing,
provides connection-oriented flexible bearing tunnels with high bearing
efficiency and low transmission cost per bit.

u Network management traffic management functions

4 Supports second level real-time traffic monitoring.

4 Supports statistics of bandwidth utilization, 15-minute traffic and 24-hour


traffic.

4 Supports querying the maximum and minimum traffic of the monitored


object.

4 Supports monitoring performance of each layer in the NE, including port,


VP layer (LSP) and VC layer (PW) second level performance query.

1.2 Network Application

The following introduces the product orientation and network modes of the
CiTRANS 660.

1.2.1 Equipment Positioning

The CiTRANS 660 is mainly used at the distribution layer of the metropolitan area
packet network and the core layer of the small and medium-sized cities network. Its
purpose is to transmit packet services inside the network and converges services to
the backbone data network, so as to set up the unified packet bearer network.

4 Version: D
1 Overview

1.2.2 Network Mode

The CiTRANS 660 can be used together with the traditional MSTP (Multi-Service
Transfer Platform based on the TDM) equipment to implement interconnection
between Ethernet services and TDM services, and can be networked with the
remote end MPLS-TP equipment.

See Figure 1-1 for the application of the CiTRANS 660 in the system.

2.4.3 Typical Network of LTE Bearer

The LTE (Long Term Evolution), also known as the 3.9G standard, is a brand name
of the emerging and developed technology that comprises the existing 3G and 4G
networks. It improves the 3G wireless access technology and uses the OFDM
(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-
Output) as the unique standard of the wireless network evolution. Under the 20 MHz
spectrum bandwidth, the LTE provides the peak rate of 326 Mbit/s for downlink and
86 Mbit/s for uplink. The main advantages of the LTE are larger cell capacity, lower
latency, and better user experience.

14 Version: D
2 Product Function

The LTE technology supports larger bandwidth for uplink and downlink, and
provides high-speed wireless access service for users. The LTE technology
requires more from the bearer network, includes high-ratio, large capacity, low delay,
accurate synchronization and stable mechanisms of protection and restoration.

The CiTRANS 660 meets the requirements for the bearer network by the LTE
standard. The typical network of the CiTRANS 660 in the LTE service is shown in
Figure 2-5.

Figure 2-5 Typical Network of the CiTRANS 660 LTE Service

The CiTRANS 660 still acts as the trunk convergence node. The eNodeB not only
provides the functions of the original NodeB but also provides the most functions of
the original RNC (Radio Network Controller), and the original backbone networks
are merged and simplified into MME and SGW, so that the structure of the LTE
network is optimized and is more reliable.

2.5 Protection Capability

The CiTRANS 660 provides equipment level protection, network level protection,
and network management information protection.

Version: D 15
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

2.5.1 Equipment Level Protection

The CiTRANS 660 provides abundant types of equipment level hot standby
protections and TPS (Tributary Protection Switching) protections, as shown in
Table 2-7.

Table 2-7 Equipment Level Protection

Protection Type Protection Mode Revert Mode

The NMUJ1 card 1+1 hot standby protection Non-revertive

Power supply unit 1+1 hot standby protection -

1+1 Protection of the NMUJ1 Card

When the CiTRANS 660 is equipped with two NMUJ1 cards, the NMUJ1 card will
execute the active / standby switching if one of the following triggering conditions
are met.

u The active card hardware or software is faulty;

u The switching command is delivered manually;

u The active card is unplugged manually;

u The active card is hard reset.

1+1 Protection of the XCUJ2 / XCUJ4 Card

When the CiTRANS 660 is equipped with two XCUJ2 / XCUJ4 cards, the XCUJ2 /
XCUJ4 card will execute the active / standby switching if one of the following
triggering conditions are met.

u The active card hardware or software is faulty;

u The switching command is delivered manually;

u The active card is unplugged manually;

u The active card is hard reset.

16 Version: D
2 Product Function

TPS Protection of the E1J1 Card and the ESJ1 / ESJ2 Card

Objects of TPS protection are cards whose wires and cables are led out through
terminal boards. When a working card is faulty, the signals from a terminal board to
the faulty card will be switched to the normal protection card via software and
hardware operations, so as to ensure normal transmission of services.

The CiTRANS 660 supports the TPS protection for E1 services and FE services.
The TPS protection will be implemented when one of the following circumstances
occurs.

u Clock loss occurs on the active card;

u The active card has hardware faults;

u The switching command is delivered manually;

u The active card is unplugged manually;

u The active card is hard reset.

1+1 Protection of the Power Supply Unit

The CiTRANS 660 has two power and auxiliary terminal boards (AIFJ1 or AIFJ2)
configured in the slots 10 and 11, which are in the active / standby mode and serve
at the hot standby for each other.

When the active power and auxiliary terminal board fails, the standby power and
auxiliary terminal board will start to provide power supply for the equipment instead
of the active one, so as guarantee the normal operations of the equipment.

2.5.2 Network-Level Protection

The CiTRANS 660 provides abundant network-level protections, as shown in


Table 2-8.

SNCP protection 1+1, 1:1


Dual-homing protection 1+1/1:1
Ethernet LAG protection Port aggregation

DL protection 1+1, 1:1

LSP 1:1 Protection

In LSP 1:1 protection, the protection path is used to protect the services transmitted
over the working path. When the working path fails, the service switches to the
protection path. The service protected by the LSP 1:1 protection is single-fed and
single-received.

Depending on whether the service is switched to the working path after the working
path is back to normal, the LSP protection can be divided into revertive and non-
revertive modes. And depending on whether the Rx and Tx ends of the service are
assisting the switching when the switching occurs, the LSP protection can be
divided into unidirectional and bidirectional protections.

In LSP 1:1 protection, the active / standby status and switching status are
exchanged on the protection path through the APS protocol. The equipment at both
ends performs service switching according to protocol status and switching status.

PW APS Protection

In PW APS protection, the working and protection PWs are pre-created. When the
working PW is faulty, the service will be switched to the protection PW, so as to
protect the service.

u PW 1:1 protection: in case of the same source and same sink, if the APS
function is enabled, the working/protection PW implements connectivity check
via the VC layer OAM, and performs protection switching, switching delay and
WTR by coordinating the source and sink ports via the APS protocol.

18 Version: D
2 Product Function

u PW redundancy protection: in case of the same source and different sink, if the
APS function is disabled, the working/protection PW implements connectivity
check via the VC layer OAM, and supports triggering switching by CSF.

Wrapping Protection

The Wrapping protection protects the network by configuring the Wrapping


protection ring. The services will be looped back to the adjacent node of the failed
node for the line protection switching. When a fault is detected in the network, the
adjacent nodes of the fault will switch the services to the protection direction via the
APS calculation, avoiding the faulty node or link, so as to guarantee the continuity in
operation of the network. It supports WrappingV2/WrappingV3/Short Wrapping.

SNCP 1+1 and 1:1 Protection

SNCP is used to protect internal subnet connections of the carrier's network. The
SNCP 1+1 protection service is dual-fed and selectively-received while the SNCP
1:1 protection service is single-fed and single-received.

Two independent subnet connections exist in the working space of the SNCP 1+1
and 1:1 protection. All services and channels transferred in the working subnet are
protected by the protection subnet. The SNCP protection, similar to the LSP
protection, is divided into revertive and non-revertive, unidirectional and bidirectional
protection, etc.

In SNCP 1:1 protection, the active / standby status and switching status are
exchanged on the protection path through the APS protocol. The equipment at both
ends performs service switching according to protocol status and switching status.

Dual-homing Protection

Dual-homing protection combines MPLS-TP network side protection and


attachment circuit (AC) protection. Network faults trigger switchover only on the
network side and AC faults trigger switchover only on the AC side. When faults
occur on both the network side and AC side, switchover is triggered simultaneously
at both sides to protect services. LSP 1+1 / 1:1 protection is supported on the
network side whereas 1+1 / 1:1 link protection is supported on the AC side. The two
NEs on the AC side are respectively connected to the working and protection lines
of the RNC.

Version: D 19
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

Ethernet LAG Protection

A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) is a group of physical Ethernet interfaces with the
same rate that are bound as a logical interface for the purpose of increasing the
bandwidth and protecting link protection.

LAG provides larger bandwidth and higher reliability of the links. Members of the
port aggregation group perform mutual dynamic backup protection; when one link
fails, other links will take over the traffic load of the failed link to achieve load sharing.

DL 1+1 and 1:1 Protection

The DL 1+1 / 1:1 protection is implemented between two adjacent nodes to protect
services on the line via the protection line. When the working line is faulty, the
protection line will receive services.

2.5.3 Network Management Information Protection

The CiTRANS 660 provides the protection channel for the network management
information. By connecting the NE which needs the network management
information protection to the data communication network and then connecting it to
the network management host, the CiTRANS 660 can set up the protection channel
for the network management information.

The network management information is transmitted on the working channel when


the network is normal, and will be switched to the protection channel automatically
when fault occurs on the working channel. The purpose is to guarantee that the
network management system monitors and operates the entire network.

2.6 Carrier-class Network Management

The CiTRANS 660 uses the OTNM2000 Element Management System (hereinafter
referred to as the OTNM2000). The OTNM2000 is the subnet of the TMN and
designed in line with the OSI standard of ISO.

Developed by FiberHome, the OTNM2000 can implement the integrated


management on FiberHomes various transmission and access equipment with one
platform, so as to facilitate the operations and reduce the maintenance cost of users.

20 Version: D
2 Product Function

2.6.1 Supporting Integrated Configuration Management

The OTNM2000 at the central office performs uniform management of the CiTRANS
660, with advantages of a large control range, high management efficiency, and low
maintenance cost.

The configuration management is responsible for configuring the network and NE


equipment information.

u Network information configuration: Involves physical link of the network; sets up,
modifies or deletes service paths; reconfigures the paths and equipment and
recovers the route when the network is faulty.

u NE information configuration: Performs management of the equipment


constituting the communication network (such as set-up, modification and
deletion); initializes NEs and configures various functions such as adding /
deleting NEs, subracks and cards.

2.6.2 Supporting Performance Management and Alarm


Management

The CiTRANS 660 performs performance and alarm management via the
OTNM2000, implements real-time collection, alert, filter, browse, confirmation,
clearance and statistics of performance and alarms as well as alarm relevance
analysis and fault diagnosis.

u Performance management: The OTNM2000 supports the function of


performance management, which makes reports and evaluation on the
transport performance parameters of the communication equipment and the
network, collects the quality data, statistical data about the practical operations
of the equipment in the communication network. The information is used in the
monitoring of the status and performance of the network and the equipment
and provide basis for the maintenance staff to evaluate, analyze, predict and
plan.

Version: D 21
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

u Alarm management: The OTNM2000 supports the function of alarm


management, which implements real-time monitoring on the abnormal
operating situation in the equipment and the network channels, achieves the
monitoring, report, storage of alarm signals, and diagnosing, locating and
processing of faults. At the same time, the alarms will be given to inform users
of the faults and make them detect the faults on time and adopt measures to
solve the problems and resume the service that is influenced by the fault.

2.7 DCN Construction

The DCN is a part of the network management, and is used to transmit network
management information.

The CiTRANS 660 supports multiple DCN construction modes. In these modes,
users can implement isolation between the management communication network
and the signaling communication network, and can achieve the in-band DCN
network and out-of-band DCN network modes.

2.7.1 In-band DCN Network

The in-band DCN network refers to the network mode that uses the service
channels provided by the managed equipment to manage the network equipment.
In this mode, the network management information is transmitted via the service
channels of the equipment.

The features of the in-band DCN network are the flexibility and that no extra
equipment is required.

The CiTRANS 660 supports the in-band DCN network interfaces as follows:

u 10GE interface

u GE interface

u FE interface

u STM-1 interface

u E1 interface

22 Version: D
2 Product Function

Figure 2-6 In-band DCN Network

2.7.2 Out-of-band DCN Network

The out-of-band DCN network refers to the network mode that uses the channels
other than the service channels to transmit the network management information, so
as to accomplish the management on the network.

Compared with the in-band DCN network mode, the out-of-band DCN network
mode provides more reliable management channels. The users can get the network
management information and implement real-time monitoring when the service
channel fails.

The out-of-band network mode requires specific communication channels as well as


the maintenance channel that is unrelated to the service channel. In the out-band
DCN network mode, the network management center can set up the DCN with the
managed equipment via various methods, such as the E1 private line and the
Ethernet. The network management system manages the network within the
management range via the DCN.

during the normal operations of the NMUJ1 card of the CiTRANS 660, the CiTRANS
660 will automatically detect the information of the added card, such as the bureau /
subrack / slot and network block / NE to which the card belongs and the card name,
and then report the information to the OTNM2000 for users to query and save the
detected configuration data. Consequently, this simplifies the management
configuration procedures and facilitates the project commissioning and
maintenance.

2.8.2 Remote Upgrade Capability

tail drop and WRED.

u Tail drop

Tail drop: a buffer queue buffers the messages, not differentiating the discard
level. When the queue is full, drop the messages that arrive later directly.

u WRED

WRED (Weighted Random Early Detected): detects the discard priority of


messages (color) and sets the high and low discard threshold and discard ratio
of the messages according to their discard priority, so as to provide different
discard features for the messages.

Queue Scheduling

When the congestion occurs, the CiTRANS 660 will provide QoS guarantee for the
service types with high levels via different queue scheduling strategies.

30 Version: D
3 Product Feature

The CiTRANS 660 supports the following two kinds of queue scheduling strategies:

u SP

Strict priority queue scheduling strategy means to schedule the messages in


the queue strictly according to the priority level. Only when the queues with
higher priority level are empty will the messages in the queues with lower
priority level be transmitted.

u WFQ

Weighted fair queuing scheduling strategy means to implement fair scheduling


on the queues according to the weights assigned to the queues. Usually the
queues with higher priority levels have higher weights and occupy larger
bandwidth and the queues with lower priority levels have lower weights and
occupy smaller bandwidth.

u Management / agent application functional module

The manager / agent application functional module includes manager (M) and
agent (A). At the NE layer, the NE management card (EMU) can be appointed
as either agent (A) or manager / agent (M / A) (named as an agent with
management functions).

4 When appointed as M / A, the EMU card acts as agent for the local NE and
also manages other NEs within its control. Its main function is to maintain
these remote objects.

4 When appointed as agent, it is only responsible for collecting and


managing performance events, alarms / faults, and status data of each
BMU in the local NE and receiving and responding to commands and
operations related to the local NE from the manager.

5 Service Application

5.1 Ethernet Service

The CiTRANS 660 supports multiple types of Ethernet services, providing excellent
L2VPN solutions.

The VPN (Virtual Private Network) refers to the virtual private network provided for
clients via the public network by network operators. Constructing the private network
by utilizing the public network not only enables network operators to provide high-
performance and low-cost carrier-class network for users, but also provides a good
profiting mode for network operators themselves. But the traditional VPN has
obvious shortcomings in the following aspects: VPN extensibility, security,
management and maintenance, QoS and traffic engineering, so it cannot meet the
requirements of clients adequately.

To solve these problems, the L2VPN based on MPLS has emerged as the times
require. The L2VPN not only eliminates the shortcomings of traditional IP network,
frame relay and ATM network, but also has distinguished itself for following aspects:
security, real time, broad band, convenience and low construction cost. Therefore, it
can fully meet the requirements for VPN services of subscribers.

There are three modes for delivering Ethernet services using the CiTRANS 660.

u Ethernet private line service, i.e., E-Line service

u Ethernet private network service, i.e., E-LAN service

u Ethernet convergence service, i.e., E-Tree service

5.1.1 E-Line Service

Service Introduction

E-Line service means that the original private line service is replaced by the
Ethernet private one. Providing a point-to-point connection of the client data, it
transfers the dedicated packets from the client side port or the dedicated port to the
network side port, and transfers the packets received at the network side port to the
client side or other network side ports.

Depending on whether the service at the network side UNI port is multiplexed, the
E-Line services can be further divided into the following two categories:

Version: D 75
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

u EP-Line Ethernet private line service: not allow for service multiplexing.

u EVP-Line Ethernet private line service: allows for service multiplexing.

Service Features

The E-Line service has the following features:

u Only point-to-point service supported;

u Different types of services are totally isolated, but either the EP-Line or EVP-
Line can be used to transmit bandwidths.

Service Model

Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 present a typical model of E-Line services provided by the
CiTRANS 660.

Corporation X and Corporation Y both have divisions in City A and City B. The
divisions of Corporation X or Y can communicate with each other, but the
information between Corporation X and Corporation Y is strictly isolated.

The MPLS-TP network constructed by the CiTRANS 660 can provide E-Line
services for the Corporation X and Corporation Y via EP-Line or EVP-Line, meeting
the communication demands as well as ensuring the data security for both
corporations.

As Figure 5-1 shows, in City A the services of Corporation X and Corporation Y


are accessed from LAN ports 1 and 2 (LAN1 and LAN2) of the ESJ1 card of
NE1; in City B the services of Corporation X and Corporation Y are accessed
from LAN ports 1 and 2 (LAN1' and LAN2') of the ESJ1 card of NE2.

In this network mode, the service demands of Corporation X and Corporation Y


are met via EP-Line, namely sharing the Tunnel individually. See Table 5-1 for
details.

the services of Corporation X and Corporation Y are both accessed from LAN
port 1 (LAN1') of the ESJ1 card of NE2.

In this network mode, both corporations share the Tunnel but the services can
still be isolated by using different PW channels. See Table 5-2 for details.

5.1.2 E-LAN Service

Service Introduction

The E-LAN service is the most important and most widely used service type to
replace the original private LAN service with Ethernet. The E-LAN service is a
multipoint-to-multipoint service. In the E-LAN service, packets of certain ports or
certain packets of a port on the user side are forwarded to multiple ports on the
network side, and packets received from the network side are forwarded to ports on
the user side and other ports on the network side. Therefore the multipoint-to-
multipoint forwarding of user data is achieved.

The E-LAN service can be further classified into two types according to whether the
service of the UNI interface at network side is multiplexed.

u EP-LAN service: No service is multiplexed.

u EVP-LAN service: Service are multiplexed.

Service Features

The E-LAN service has the following features:

u Supports access of multiple services.

u Different services are totally isolated but the bandwidth can be used separately
(EP-LAN mode) or shared (EVP-LAN mode).

Service Model

As shown in Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4, Corporation X has branches 1, 2 and 3
named as X-1, X-2 and X-3 in City A, B and C respectively; and Corporation Y has
branches 1, 2 and 3 named as Y-1, Y-2 and Y-3 in City A, B and C respectively. All
branches of each corporation should communicate with each other, but between the
Corporation X and Corporation Y the information must be isolated.

78 Version: D
5 Service Application

The service requirement of Corporation X/Y is the typical application of E-LAN


service, which is used between multiple (more than 2) access points. And between
every two access points there are communication requirements. Either the EP-LAN
mode or the EVP-LAN mode can be used.

Corporation X are accessed via LAN1 ports of the ESJ1 cards of NE1, NE2 and
NE3 respectively; and services of three branches of Corporation Y are
accessed via LAN2 ports of the ESJ1 cards of NE1, NE2 and NE3 respectively.

Under this network mode, Corporation X and Corporation Y can meet service
requirements by using Tunnels separately. See Table 5-3 for the service
implementation.

5.1.3 E-Tree Service

Service Introduction

Providing a multipoint-to-point connection of the client data, it transfers the


dedicated packets from the client side ports or the dedicated ports to a network side
port, or transfers the packets received at the network side port to the client side or
other network side ports.

E-Tree services can be applied in ISP connection and provide basic networks for
multicast services such as IPTV. Depending on whether the service at the network
side UNI port is multiplexed, the E-Tree services can be further divided into the
following two categories:

u EP-Tree Ethernet convergence service: not allow for service multiplexing.

u EVP-Tree Ethernet convergence service: allows for service multiplexing.

Service Features

The E-Tree service has the following features:

u A point-to-multipoint connection (a ROOT node to a LEAF node) supported;

u The data at ROOT node is transmitted to all LEAF nodes;

u Different LEAF services are totally isolated, but either the EP-Tree or EVP-Tree
can be used to transmit bandwidths.

Service Model

As shown in Figure 5-5 and Figure 5-6, a mobile network operator constructs a 3G
network. In this project, the services of NodeBs in Area A and B should be
aggregated and transmitted to RNC. NodeBs in Area A are named as A-1 and A-2;
NodeBs in Area B are B-1 and B-2; RNC is C.

The parameters such as total bandwidth guarantee QoS should be configured at the
convergence node, and the client services at all NodeBs should be completely
isolated.

Version: D 81
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

This project is a typical E-Tree service application. The ROOT node and all LEAF
nodes, expect between the LEAF nodes, have communication demands in the EP-

5.2 CES Service

With the CES (Circuit Emulation Service) technology, the CES circuit switched data
can be transparently transmitted in the packet transport network. The CiTRANS 660
supports emulation transparent transmission of the E1 CES service and the
channelized STM-1 service.

84 Version: D
5 Service Application

5.2.1 CES Application Scenario

The CES is implemented using the PWE3 technology.

The CES is mainly applied in the wireless service and the business private line
service. The CiTRANS 660 is connected to the 2G / 3G station or the enterprise
private line through the E1 / channelized STM-1 line; it slices E1 / STM-1 signals
and encapsulates them into the data packet, and finally transmits the packet to the
opposite end via the MAN network through PW. See Figure 5-7.

Figure 5-7 CES Service Model

5.2.2 Emulation Mode

The CiTRANS 660 supports CES in the structured emulation mode and the
unstructured emulation mode.

In the structured emulation mode:

u Can identify and process the frame structure and transmit signaling in CES
frames;

u Can identify the frame structure of the CES service. It does not need to transmit
idle timeslot channels, but only extracts useful timeslots of CE devices from the
E1 traffic stream and then encapsulates them into PW packets for
transmission;

Version: D 85
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

u Can identify and transmit CAS and CCS in E1 traffic streams.

In the unstructured emulation mode:

u Segments all CES services as bit streams and then encapsulates them for
transmission over a PW tunnel;

u Can transparently transmit CES traffic data and synchronous timing information.
It completely disregards any structure, and has no need to interpret the CES
data or to participate in the CES signaling;

u Is a simple way for transparent transmission of PDH bit-streams in the CES.

5.2.3 Clock Mode

The CES has very high requirements for the clock synchronization. The CiTRANS
660 provides multiple clock synchronization solutions for the CES, so as to ensure
the transmission of the CES clock.

The clock synchronization solutions include:

u Line clock recovery.

u Adaptive clock recovery.

u Differentiation clock recovery.

u System clock.

5.3 Wireless Network Service

The following introduces the wireless network service bearing solutions and clock
synchronization solutions.

5.3.1 Wireless Network Service Bearing Solution

The 2G / 3G wireless service bearing is achieved by the via IP RAN.

86 Version: D
5 Service Application

In the earlier TDM network, the 2G wireless service is mainly the voice service with
relatively small data traffic. A BTS uses one to three E1 interfaces to connect with
the BSC. Some operators who have no fixed E1 lines need to rent the high-cost E1
private lines from their competitors. As the development and expansion of the RAN
have been welcomed by world-wide operators, the 2G RAN based on TDM can
hardly meet the requirements of high bandwidth utilization ratio, easy expansion and
flexible configuration. The IP-based 2G / 3G RAN is the development trend of the
wireless service bearer network.

The CiTRANS 660 can provide MPLS-based CES service and transmit E1 and
STM-1 signals using the PW3E technology. It implements the service data
transmission between the BTS and the BSC via cheap metro area Ethernet network.
See Figure 5-8 for the 2G / 3G RAN bearing solutions using the CiTRANS 660.

Figure 5-8 2G / 3G RAN Bearing of the CiTRANS 660

5.3.2 Wireless Network Clock Synchronization Solution

The 3G mobile service bearer network uses an external clock or the GPS to achieve
the time synchronization of the entire network. The CiTRANS 660 supports 1588v2
clock synchronization protocol, inputs and outputs time signals via the 1PPS&TOD
interface or the Ethernet line interface, and supports the time synchronization of the
entire network required by 3G services.

Version: D 87
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

As shown in Figure 5-9, the equipment in the bearer network uses the 1588v2
protocol to achieve the time synchronization. The NodeB supportive of 1588v2 uses
multicast 1588v2 time signals to achieve synchronization; the NodeB not supportive
of 1588v2 uses synchronized Ethernet or WAN interface to achieve frequency
synchronization.

With the development of telecommunication industry and expansion of the transport


network, the stability and reliability of the network has gradually become a key point
in the establishment and operation of the transport network and a focus in the
competition among operators in an open market. The CiTRANS 660 provides
abundant protection functions, ensuring the normal operations of various services.

The following introduces protection modes of the CiTRANS 660.

Equipment Level Protection

Network-Level Protection

Network Management Information Protection

Version: D 89
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

6.1 Equipment Level Protection

The CiTRANS 660 provides abundant equipment level protections, which include
the 1+1 protection for the power card, the XCUJ2 / XCUJ4 card, and the NMUJ1
card, the TPS protection for the E1J1 card and the ESJ1 card.

6.1.1 1+1 Protection of the XCU Card

The XCUJ2 / XCUJ4 card is the clock cross-connect card used for service cross-
connect, clock processing and output, protection switching, etc.

Protection Principle

When two XCUJ2 / XCUJ4 cards (one active and one standby) are installed on the
CiTRANS 660, only the active card will operate under the normal condition. But
when one of the switching triggering conditions occurs and the active card fails to
operate, the standby card will be informed via the monitoring line between the cards
and will start up, so as to ensure the normal operations of the equipment.

When the original active card recovers from the fault, it will come into the standby
status. Until the current active card meets one of the switching triggering conditions,
the original active card will be resume its normal work.

Triggering Conditions

u The active card hardware or software is faulty;

u The switching command is delivered manually;

u The active card is unplugged manually;

u The active card is hard reset.

Protection Parameters

See Table 6-1 for the 1+1 protection parameters of the XCU card.

Note:
There are two revert modes:

u Revertive mode: after the active card resumes, services will be


switched back to the active card automatically.

u Non-revertive mode: after the active card resumes, services will not
be switched back to the active card automatically.

6.1.2 1+1 Protection of the NMUJ1 Card

Introduction

The NMUJ1 card of the CiTRANS 660 provides various management and auxiliary
interfaces for the routing protocol control and the management of the entire
equipment.

Protection Principle

When two NMUJ1 cards (one active and one standby) are installed on the
CiTRANS 660, only the active card will operate under the normal condition. But
when one of the switching triggering conditions occurs and the active card fails to
operate, the standby card will be informed via the monitoring line between the cards
and will start up, so as to ensure the normal operations of the equipment.

When the original active card recovers from the fault, it will come into the standby
status and form 1+1 protection together with the current active card.

Switching Triggering Conditions

u The active card hardware or software is faulty;

u The switching command is delivered manually;

u The active card is unplugged manually;

u The active card is hard reset.

6.1.3 1+1 Protection of the Power Card

The AIFJ1 / AIFJ2 card provides -48 V power supply for the entire CiTRANS 660.

Protection Principle

When two AIFJ1 / AIFJ2 cards are installed on the CiTRANS 660, they act as hot
backup to each other to ensure the normal operating of the CiTRANS 660.

6.1.4 TPS Protection

The E1J1 card is the E1 processing card, which is used to achieve circuit emulation
function of encapsulating 1 to 16 channels of E1 signals into the GE signals.

The ESJ1 card is the FE interface card with the switching function, which is used for
the long-haul transmission of the Ethernet data in the MAN, achieving the layer 2
switching function as well as the functions that are not usually obtained by the
traditional Ethernet (such as protection switching of the services).

92 Version: D
6 Protection Implementation

Protection Principle

Objects of TPS protection are cards whose wires and cables are led out through
terminal boards. When a working card is faulty, the signals from a terminal board to
the faulty card will be switched to the normal protection card via software and
hardware operations, so as to ensure normal transmission of services.

Figure 6-1 shows the distribution of the slots on the CiTRANS 660 that support the
TPS protection: The slots 16 to 1C among the 14 slots on the upper subrack support
TPS protection; the slots 12 to 15 and 1D to 1F should be plugged with the
corresponding terminal boards of the slots 16 to 1C from left to right.

Figure 6-1 Slot Distribution of the TPS Protection

The types and the maximal number of groups can be supported by the CiTRANS
660 are as described as follows:

u One group of 1:6 TPS protection

Version: D 93
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

u One group of 2:2 TPS protection

u Three groups of 1:1 TPS protection

u 1:2 and 1:1 TPS protection used together

Below are the protection principles:

u Supports the simultaneous TPS protection on both the E1J1 card and the ESJ1
card, but for each TPS protection group, the working and protection cards must
be of the same type;

u Except the 1:6 TPS protection, the slot distribution for neither the 1:2 nor the
1:1 TPS protection is fixed. Since the protection signals between terminal
boards are transferred one by one in parallel mode, the slots of protection card
and working card must be next to each other;

u In a group of TPS protection, the protection slot must be on the left, the working
slot should be next to it at the right side. The priorities of the working slots are
arranged in the descending order from the left to the right.

When there are multiple E1J1 cards or ESJ1 cards installed on the CiTRANS 660,
only the active cards will operate under the normal condition. But when one of the
switching triggering conditions occurs and the active card fails to operate, the
standby card will be informed via the monitoring line between the cards and will start
up, so as to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Triggering Conditions

u Clock loss occurs on the active card;

u The active card hardware or software is faulty;

u The switching command is delivered manually;

u The active card is unplugged manually;

u The active card is hard reset.

6.2.1 LSP 1:1 Protection

Protection Principle

In the LSP 1:1 protection mode, the protection path is used to protect the services
transferred via the working path. The working mode is single-receiving and single-
fed. Normally the service is transmitted via the working path except when the
working path is faulty. The service will be switched to the protection path, so as to
guarantee the normal service transmission.

The APS protocol of the LSP 1:1 protection is transferred through the protection
path, so as to deliver protocol statuses and switching statuses. The equipment sets
at both ends perform service switching according to protocol statuses and switching
statuses.

See Figure 6-2 for the working principles of the LSP 1:1 protection.

96 Version: D
6 Protection Implementation

Figure 6-2 LSP 1:1 Protection

Note:

The protection path can be used to transfer an additional service. When


the working path is faulty and the service on the working path is switched
to the protection path, the additional service will be interrupted. After the
working path resumes to normal status, the additional service will restore
as well.

Switching Triggering Conditions

u The intermediate node is powered off;

u The working path is faulty;

u The switching command is delivered manually.

6.2.2 PW APS Protection

Protection Principle

In PW APS protection, the working and protection PWs are pre-created. When the
working PW is faulty, the service will be switched to the protection PW, so as to
protect the service.

u PW 1:1 protection: in case of the same source and same sink, if the APS
function is enabled, the working / protection PW implements connectivity check
via the VC layer OAM, and performs protection switching, switching delay and
WTR by coordinating the source and sink ports via the APS protocol.

u PW redundancy protection: in case of the same source and different sink, if the
APS function is disabled, the working/protection PW implements connectivity
check via the VC layer OAM, and supports triggering switching by CSF.

Switching Triggering Conditions

u The intermediate node is powered off.

u The working PW is faulty.

u The switching command is delivered manually.

6.2.3 DL 1+1 Protection

Protection Principle

The DL 1+1 line protection is implemented between two adjacent nodes to protect
services on the line via the protection line.

As shown in Figure 6-3, normally, services are transmitted to the working and
protection lines. The equipment receives services from working line only and the
protection line transmits the APS protocol (includes protocol status and switching
status). When the working line fails, services are received from the protection line.
The service is dual-fed on the Tx end and selectively received on the Rx end.

u The switching command is delivered manually.

6.2.4 DL 1:1 Protection

Protection Principle

In the DL 1:1 protection mode, the service between two adjacent nodes is protected
via the protection line.

As Figure 6-4 shows, the service is transmitted via the working line and the
protection line is used to transmit APS protocol (including protocol status and
switching status). When the working line is faulty, the service Tx and Rx are both
switched to the protection line, that is, the protection line is used to transmit and
receive service. The service is single-fed on the Tx end and single-received at the
Rx end.

6.2.5 Wrapping Protection

Technical Background

The Wrapping protection is based on the RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) protocol. As a
new MAC layer protocol, the RPR protocol is brought up for optimizing the
transmission of data packets. The RPR not only has advantages of cost-
effectiveness of Gigabit Ethernet, strict guarantee on delay and jitter of TDM,
reliable clock, 50ms ring protection and restoration, but also features the spatial
reuse, bandwidth dynamic allocation and support for service levels. As an advanced
technology for transferring data packets on current optical network, the RPR
protocol has become the first choice in the establishment of the new generation
MAN.

Version: D 101
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

Similar with TDM in topology, the RPR uses the mutually inverse dual-ring topology
and every section of optical path on the ring operates at the same rate. The
difference is that both rings of RPR can transmit data. The transmission direction of
the RPR outer ring is clockwise and that of the RPR inner ring is counterclockwise.
The RPR protection does not need specific bandwidth for backup, because both
rings can transmit data and back up each other. By broadcasting switching control
message on the ring, the RPR can inform all the nodes on the ring of the route or
node that is faulty.

The RPR supports two protection mechanisms: Wrapping protection and Steering
protection, and either can meet the protection requirements of RPR. The CiTRANS
660 uses the Wrapping protection mechanism since the switching time in the
Steering protection mechanism is relatively longer and some packets will be lost.

Protection Principle

The Wrapping protection is based on the adjacent nodes of the fault. When a fault is
detected in the network, the adjacent nodes of the fault will switch the services to
the protection direction via the APS calculation, avoiding the faulty node or link, so
as to guarantee the continuity in operation of the network.

The Wrapping protection mechanism ensures the connectivity of data flow when it
goes through a long path before arriving at the destination node. If the equipment is
faulty, the services on the failed node will switch to the ring that transfers service in
the opposite direction.

Based on shared ring, the Wrapping protection has the following advantages:

u The switching time is easily guaranteed and the packet loss is relatively small.

u For multicast service packet, the re-calculation of multicast replication points is


not necessary.

u The protection mode is transparent to the opposite source station.

See Figure 6-5 for the Wrapping protection.

u Normal operation status: The service path from Node A to Node D is ABC
D.

u Status when fault occurs:

102 Version: D
6 Protection Implementation

4 WrappingV2/V3 protection: After the fault occurs, the optical path wrapping
will occur on two nodes at both ends of the failed link, and the service path
is also looped back at the two nodes. The service path from Node A to
Node D is ABAFEDCD in general. Dropping is
implemented via the working channel.

4 Short Wrapping protection: After the fault occurs, the optical path wrapping
will occur on the node at the failed link side, and the service path is also
looped back at the node. The service path from Node A to Node D is AB
AFED in general. Dropping is implemented via the protection
channel.

Figure 6-5 Wrapping Protection

Version: D 103
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

Note:

Wrapping protection is only enabled when all nodes on the ring provide
support. The switched service may have a relatively long roundabout
path and occupy a great deal of bandwidth inside the ring.

Switching Triggering Conditions

u The intermediate node is faulty.

u The working path is faulty.

u The switchover command is manually delivered.

6.2.6 SNCP 1+1 Protection

Protection Principle

In the SNCP 1+1 protection mode, the sub-network connection inside the operator's
network is protected. In the protected area, two independent subnetwork
connections exist. One is the working tunnel and the other is the protection one.

104 Version: D
6 Protection Implementation

See Figure 6-6 for the SNCP 1+1 protection switching. The working service is
permanently bridged from the protection domain source end (NodeA) to the working
and protection connections, and the protection switching is performed by the
selector of the protection domain destination end (NodeZ). The network tracing end
and the sublayer tracing end are used to monitor and confirm the working and
protection connection status.

Protection Principle

In the SNCP 1:1 protection mode, the sub-network connection inside the operator's
network is protected. In the protected area, two independent subnetwork
connections exist. One is the working tunnel and the other is the protection one.

See Figure 6-7 for the SNCP 1:1 protection. The working service is bridged to the
working connection from the protection area source end (NodeA). And the
protection connection is used to transmit other sub-network services when the
working service is normal. The APS protocol information (including near end and far
end) is used to inform the link and protection status. The protection switching is
performed together by the protection area selector bridge and the destination end
(NodeZ) selector.

6.2.8 Dual-homing Protection

Protection Principle

In the dual-homing protection mode, the MPLS-TP network side protection and the
AC side protection are combined. The network side failure only triggers the network
side protection switching, and the AC side failure only triggers the AC side
protection. When both are in failure, both types of protection will be triggered
simultaneously, so as to protect the service in the dual mode. The network side
protection supports LSP 1+1 / 1:1 protection, and AC side supports link 1+1 / 1:1
protection. Besides, there are two NEs at the AC side respectively connected to the
working and protection lines of the RNC.

As Figure 6-8 shows, the dual-homing protection is configured between Node A and
RNC. The working path is A B C RNC.

u The network side A C is configured with LSP 1+1 / 1:1 protection. The
working path is A B C and the protection path is A D E C.

u The AC side is configured with link 1+1 / 1:1 protection. The working path is C
RNC and the protection path is C E RNC.

108 Version: D
6 Protection Implementation

Figure 6-8 Normal Working Status

In the following paragraphs examples are given to introduces the switching


mechanism of dual-homing protection.

u MPLS-TP network side failure

As Figure 6-9 shows, when the MPLS-TP network side working path, i.e., A
B C is faulty, the LSP 1+1 / 1:1 protection switching will be triggered between
Node A and Node C. The switching will not occur between Node C and RNC.
The service path becomes A D E C RNC, and the network side
service is thus protected.

Figure 6-9 Dual-homing Protection Switching Status - Network Side Failure

Version: D 109
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

u AC side failure

As Figure 6-10 shows, when a fault occurs between Node C and RNC, after
Node E receives the fault information from Node C, the switching will occur and
the service will be switched to C E RNC. At the same time, switching
occurs on the RNC, and the service is received and transmitted in the direction
connecting with Node E. The service path becomes A B C E RNC,
and the AC side service is thus protected.

Figure 6-10 Dual-homing Protection Switching Status - AC Side Failure

u MPLS-TP network side and AC side both in failure

As Figure 6-11 shows, when MPLS-TP network side and AC side are both in
failure, switching occur on both Node A and RNC. Node C transmits fault
information of both to Node E, and Node E switches the service to A D E
RNC, and the service is thus protected.

6.2.9 Ethernet LAG Protection

Introduction

Port aggregation refers to the kind of protection mode that binds a group of physical
Ethernet interfaces with the same rate together, so as to form a logical interface to
enhance bandwidth and provide link protection. The CiTRANS 660 supports LAG
protection of the Ethernet interface on the UNI side.

The Ethernet LAG protection allows the share of load among the ports; the ports of
aggregate members are not divided into active and standby ports. The CiTRANS
660 enables cross-card LAG protection and intra-card LAG protection. When any of
the ports fails, the service message will be delivered to other ports for transmission.

Protection Principle

LAG protection implements the following functions:

112 Version: D
6 Protection Implementation

u Enhance link usability: In the group of aggregated ports, the members provide
dynamic backup for each other. When any of the ports fails, the other ports will
take over its work immediately. The process of starting up aggregate port
backup is only related to the ports within the aggregated group, irrelevant with
the ports outside the group.

u Increase link capacity: The group of aggregated ports provides an economical


method of enhancing the links transmission rate for the users. Via binding
multiple physical ports, users can obtain the data link with larger bandwidth
without upgrading their current equipment. The capacity of this link is the sum
of the capacity of all these physical links.

Figure 6-13 illustrates the Ethernet LAG protection supported by the CiTRANS 660.

6.3 Network Management Information Protection

On the transport network, network management information is transmitted over the


supervisory channel. Usually the supervisory channel and the main channel are the
same physical channel. When the main channel fails, the supervisory channel also
fails, leading to the communication interruption. Therefore, a protection channel
must be provided for transmitting network management information.

On a ring network, when a transmission segment such as the optical fiber fails,
network management information is automatically transmitted over the supervisory
channel in the other direction. This does not affect network management.
Figure 6-14 shows the automatic backup of network management information
channels in a ring network.

Figure 6-14 Network Management Information Channel Backup in a Ring Network (a Section
Transmission Failure)

If both ends of a site on an optical fiber segment fail, or an optical fiber segment in a
point-to-point network or chain network fails, the supervisory channels for network
management information also fail. The network administrator cannot obtain
information about failed sites or operate these sites. To avoid such problems, a
protection channel must be deployed for network management information.

114 Version: D
6 Protection Implementation

The CiTRANS 660 can provide a protection channel for network management
information through the data communication network. Between two NEs to be
protected, a router is configured and connected to the data communication network
to establish a protection channel. When the network runs properly, network
management information is transmitted over the main channel. See Figure 6-15.

Figure 6-15 Network Management Information Channel Backup (Normal)

When the main channel becomes faulty, the NE automatically switches over the
network management information to the protection channel. This ensures that the
network management system monitors the entire network. The switchover process
is completed automatically without manual intervention. Figure 6-16 shows backup
of network management channels.

Version: D 115

Caution:

In network planning, it is recommended that the protection channel and


main channel use different physical channels.

8.2 MPLS-TP and Ethernet OAM Feature


Introduction

Compared to the OAM function of TDM, the traditional packet based network
management and maintenance functions are relatively weak and cannot provide
end-to-end service management, fault detection and performance monitoring.
Based on the functions of the traditional IP router, the aggregation access router is
added with some MPLS advantages and provides hierarchical OAM functions.

The MPLS-TP OAM features of the CiTRANS 660 are as follows:

u Supports hierarchical OAM functions. The MPLS-TP OAM provides up to eight


MEG layers (0 to 7), and each layer supports independent OAM functions, so
as to meet the requirements of various network deployment policies.

Version: D 121

u EFM OAM

For the link between two directly-connected devices, the EFM OAM provides
such functions as link connectivity test, link fault monitoring, remote fault
notification and remote loopback. In the MAN, the EFM OAM technology is
usually applied between the CE equipment and PE equipment to guarantee the
reliability and stability of the connection between the user network and the
operator network.

9 Clock and Time Synchronization

The following discusses the clock and time synchronization function of the
CiTRANS 660.

Introduction to Clock and Time

Clock and Time Synchronization Function

124 Version: D
9 Clock and Time Synchronization

9.1 Introduction to Clock and Time

The following introduces the concepts, operating principles, network applications,


and features of the clock synchronization and the time synchronization, as well as
their differences.

9.1.1 Concept of Synchronization

The synchronization includes two aspects: frequency synchronization and time


synchronization.

Frequency synchronization: It is generally called clock synchronization. It refers to


the attaining of synchronism between the frequencies or phases of two or more
signals; the obtaining of a desired, fixed relationship among corresponding
significant instants of two or more signal; or the valid moment occurs at the same
rate. The purpose is to maintain all equipment sets in the communication network
working at the same rate.

Time synchronization: It is to adjust the internal clock and time based on the
received time information. It adjusts the frequency of the clock and also the phase of
the clock and represents the clock phase in a numerical value, i.e., time of the day.

9.1.2 Difference between Clock Synchronization and Time


Synchronization

Figure 9-1 Differences between the Clock Synchronization and the Time Synchronization

Version: D 125
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

Figure 9-1 shows the differences between the time and frequency (clock)
synchronization. If two watches (Watch 1 and Watch 2) keep identical at all times,
this is time synchronization. If the two watches show different time with a constant
variable, for example, one hour, this is frequency synchronization. If the two
watches have different frequencies, the two have no fixed relationships between
time values. Therefore, the prerequisite of time synchronization is frequency
synchronization.

The CiTRANS 660 implements the clock and time synchronization via the following
technologies.

u Frequency synchronization: the synchronization technology based on the


physical layer, and the synchronous Ethernet technology (defined by ITU-T
G.8261) is used.

u Time synchronization: the synchronization technology based on the packet,


and the time synchronization technology (defined by IEEE1588 V2) is used.

9.1.3 Ethernet Clock Synchronization Technology

Background Information

Synchronous Ethernet, shortened as SyncE, is a technology that physical layer (PHY)


chip of the Ethernet bit steams are used to recover clocks of the Rx end. This mode
is the same with the TDM clock recovery mode and can get the similar TDM clock
precision, so as to realize the network clock synchronization.

The clock synchronization quality of synchronous Ethernet is similar to those of a


TDM network and can not be influenced by the network congestion, packet loss and
delay. At present, the synchronous Ethernet only supports the transmission of the
frequency signals but does not support the transmission of time signals. The
Ethernet scheme is only applicable to the scenario which does not need the time
synchronization.

126 Version: D
9 Clock and Time Synchronization

Basic Concept

Synchronization status information (SSM) algorithm is sourced from clock


synchronization control of TDM. Its rules and clock selection algorithm comply with
the ITU-T G.781 standard. SSM control of the synchronous Ethernet inherits the
features of the TDM network. Ethernet synchronization message channels (ESMC)
are added on the basis of the traditional clock network.

An Ethernet synchronization message channel is a unidirectional broadcast protocol


channel at the media access control (MAC) layer. It is used for transmitting SSMs
between devices. The equipment selects the best clock source according to the
SSM of the ESMC message.

Working Principle

The clock transmission mechanism of the synchronous Ethernet is similar to that of


the TDM network. That is, the clock is recovered from the Ethernet physical link.
The quality of the recovered clock is not affected by service traffic on the link. Clock
tree deployment and clock quality the same as those of the TDM/SONET network
can be provided, meeting the timing interface specifications defined in the ITU-T
G.823 standard.

See Figure 9-2 for the principle of synchronous Ethernet.

Figure 9-2 Synchronized Ethernet Operating Principle

A high-precision timing signal is injected into the Ethernet clock processing module
of equipment at the source side (NE1) and transmitted via line transmitting module
as the system clock after being processed. The signal is extracted from the bit
stream of equipment at the Rx side (NE2). The signal precision can be synchronous
with the source end without loss in the process of transmission.

9.1.4 1588v2 Time Synchronization Technology

Background Information

The name of IEEE1588 standard is Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for


Networked Measurement and Control Systems.

The IEEE1588 time synchronization uses the master-slave clock mode to perform
encoding of time information. It uses the network symmetry and delay measurement
technology to implement master-slave time synchronization.

128 Version: D
9 Clock and Time Synchronization

Process

Prior to the IEEE 1588v2 technology, three time synchronization protocols have
been used in MPLS-TP: the time protocol, the ToD protocol, and the network time
protocol (NTP). The NTP is implemented completely via software, so its accuracy is
relatively low. The NTPv3 (widely used currently) can reach an accuracy of
approximately 10 ms. The IETF is standardizing NTPv4, which supports IPv6 and
discovering a server dynamically, with the synchronization accuracy of 10 s. But
the stability and accuracy of NTP cannot meet the telecommunication network
requirements.

The IEEE 1588v2 is a method which will provide time synchronization and
frequency synchronization unitedly in the future. It can transport interexchange
frequencies of various transport platforms. It can transfer frequency in unidirectional
mode based on the 1588v2 timestamp and in packet-based time transport mode,
and also can use the IEEE 1588v2 protocol to implement the time synchronization,
so it is widely used on the MPLS-TP equipment.

Features and Advantages

As shown in Table 9-1, compared with traditional timing technologies, the


IEEE1588v2 has evident advantages: The accuracy is of ns level, the cost is low,
and it can be used in different access conditions. For the accuracy requirement
increases continually in the industry, using the IEEE 1588v2 has been an
inescapable trend.

Basic Concept

u PTP port status

4 Master: the master clock port, and transfers the time synchronization
information to the succeeding (Slave) port.

4 Slave: the slave clock port, and receives the time synchronization
information from the previous (Master) port.

u IEEE 1588v2 time synchronization mode

4 Ordinary Clock (OC): Generally is used at the starting or ending equipment


of the network, and provides one 1588 port. It can only act as Slave or
Master.

4 Boundary Clock (BC): Generally is used at the intermediate node of the


network, and provides multiple 1588 ports. Among these ports, one acts as
Slave, and others act as Master.

4 Transparent Clock (TC): Generally is used at the intermediate node of the


network to transmit the clock transparently. It transmits the time information
transparently.

130 Version: D
9 Clock and Time Synchronization

Figure 9-4 Time Synchronization Mode

u BMC (Best Master Clock Algorithm)

The BMC (Best Master Clock Algorithm) is the core technology of the
IEEE1588 protocol. Via comparing the clock performance data, the BMC can
select the best clock in the local network to act as the master clock.

u Synchronization interface

4 1 pps + TOD interface: The time information is transferred via the 1 pps +
TOD interface. The base station or other equipment needing the time
information recovers the time information from this interface directly, and
the base station does not need to support the 1588 function.

4 Ethernet synchronization interface: The Ethernet interface supports the


PTP synchronization, including the FE and GE interfaces. This mode can
support a long transmission distance, but the base station needs to
support the PTP protocol and clock recovery functions.

Operating Principle

By estimating the round-trip delay of a packet on the network, the IEEE 1588 can
calculate the equipment clock deviation independently, so as to implement time
synchronization via master-slave synchronization. The operating principles of the
network time protocol are described as follows:

Version: D 131
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

1. NE1 transmits a PTP packet to NE2, and record the time when this packet
leaves NE1. The corresponding timestamp is t1.

2. When this PTP packet reaches NE2, NE2 adds the timestamp of receiving this
packet. The corresponding timestamp is Ts1.

3. NE1 transmits the accompanying information to NE2, for notifying NE2 of the
time t1.

4. When this PTP packet leaves NE2, NE2 records the time t2 of this PTP packet
leaving NE2.

5. When NE1 receives the response packet, it adds a new timestamp Tm2. See
Figure 9-5 for the entire synchronization process.

6. The in-the-site equipment set NE1 transmits the accompanying information to


the in-the-site equipment set NE2, for notifying NE2 of the time Tm2.

Figure 9-5 IEEE 1588v2 Time Synchronization Principle

Users can calculate the delta-T (dt) and delay between NE1 and NE2 using the
following formulas:

u delta-T: dt=[(Ts1-t1)-(Tm2-t2)]/2

u Delay: Delay=[(Ts1-t1)+(Tm2-t2)]/2

Via the two key parameters, NE2 can synchronize with NE1.

See Figure 9-7 for the internal clock signal flow direction of the CiTRANS 660. After
selecting the best master clock among clock signals from all slots and locking phase
to it, the clock module of the XCUJ2 / XCUJ4 card transmits 25 M and 8 k signals to
all slots and performs system synchronization and timing as well as synchronization
of the local NE with the appointed synchronization reference source.

The CiTRANS 660 supports two clock signal synchronization modes: in-band (IEEE
1588 protocol interface) and out-of-band (1PPS+TOD interface). Below are the
performance parameters for the two modes.

4 Supports OC (Ordinary clock) and BC (Boundary clock) equipment modes;


and Master and Slave modes for port configuration.

IEEE 1588v2 packet.

4 Supports compensation for asymmetric path delays, in a step smaller than


10 ns; supports packet transmission interval configuration; supports PTP
parameter settings.

u Out-of-band (1PPS + TOD interface)

4 TOD information: The default is 9600 baud, no parity; one start bit
(indicated with a low level), one stop bit (indicated with a high level); idle
frame is high level, 8 data bits; the TOD information transmission occurs at
1 ms after the rising edge of the 1 pps and completes within 500 ms, and
the TOD information labels the rise time of the current 1PPS. TOD protocol
message is transmitted once per second.

4 1PPS (a pulse per second): The rising edge is used as the standard edge;
the rise time is smaller than 50 ns; the pulse width is approximately 180
ms.

4 The time source selection mechanism of equipment is as follows:

The equipment supports complete BMC algorithm, through which the


PTP port status and source selection are determined automatically.
The equipment extracts the clock source attributes via the PTP
Announce message, calculates the best clock source using the BMC
algorithm, and then generates and outputs the Announce message to

port, and trigger the switching of time reference source or keep the
working status.

Sync or Delay_Resp message loss alarm

Version: D 137
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

When obtaining the time reference source from the packet message in
the PTP input interface, the equipment can detect the receiving
condition of Sync and Delay_Resp messages at the Slave port. If no

current PTP reference source is lower than a specific quality level
threshold, and the Steps Removed value of the PTP reference source
is 0, the equipment will automatically report the PTP input degradation
alarm.

1PPS+TOD input loss alarm

When the equipment obtains the time reference source from the 1PPS
+TOD input interface, if it cannot detect any 1PPS signal or TOD
information, it will automatically report the 1PPS+TOD input loss alarm,
and trigger the switching of time reference source or keep the working
status.

1PPS+TOD input degradation alarm

When the equipment obtains the time reference source from the 1PPS
+TOD input interface, if the 1PPS status in the 1PPS+TOD input
signal is lower than a specific quality level threshold, the equipment
will automatically report the 1PPS+TOD input degradation alarm.

4 Time processing function alarm and event

Time loss of lock alarm

The equipment can detect the working status of Phase Locked Loop
(PPL). When the PPL cannot work normally, the equipment will
automatically report the time loss of lock alarm.

When the clock source enters the holdover or free running mode or
when the QL is enabled so that the SSM quality level decreases to
SSU_B (G812 local) or even lower, or the SSM quality level becomes
quality unknown, the PTP time loss of lock alarm will be reported, and
the time working status will change to holdover.

138 Version: D
9 Clock and Time Synchronization

Synchronization processing hardware fault alarm

The equipment will perform fault detection to all hardware circuits and
key parts including built-in clock, key chip and phase filter. If any of
these parts cannot work normally, the equipment will automatically
report the synchronization processing hardware fault alarm.

Slave port switching event

If the equipment detects the failure or degradation of the PTP port


which serves as the primary time reference, it will trigger the switching
of packet synchronization source and report the Slave port switching
event.

GM clock switching event

When the switching occurs on the GM traced by the Slave NE, the
equipment will automatically report the GM clock switching event.

Equipment time status switching event

When the time status is switched between normal tracing and non-
tracing, the equipment will automatically report the equipment
synchronization status switching event.

When the time working status of the equipment is switched among


free running, locked and holdover modes, the equipment time status
switching event alarm will be reported for a duration of one minute.

4 Output function alarm

Time output module fault alarm: The equipment can detect the working
status of time output module and automatically report the fault alarm if the
module cannot work normally.

u Performance monitoring requirements

The equipment supports monitoring the performance of input/output time signal


of the packet layer time synchronization as well as that of the equipment
internal time module in real time, and reporting the corresponding alarm
information if any performance degradation is found.

4 PTP message statistics

Supports statistical counting of the number of messages received by the


current PTP reference source in the specified period (15 minutes by
default).

offset used by the equipment synchronization in real time.

This function is valid for the active detection mode. Supports reporting data
to the EMS and providing performance monitoring curve on the EMS.

Supports monitoring the performance of the designated node equipment in


real time with the shortest reporting period no more than 5s.

4 PTP delay real-time monitoring

If the equipment is BC or OC Slave, it supports real-time monitoring of the


one-way delay obtained by subtracting PTP timestamps T2 and T1 of PTP
link, the one-way delay obtained by subtracting PTP timestamps T4 and
T3, and the Meanpathdelay (mean delay).

This function is valid for the active detection mode. Supports reporting data
to the EMS and providing performance monitoring curve on the EMS.

4 PTP time offset accumulation and threshold-crossing

If the equipment is BC or OC Slave, it supports accumulation and detection


of time offset. Calculate the cumulative sum of the time offset
compensation value used for system clock adjustment in the designated
time period. If the peak-to-peak value of the cumulative sum exceeds the
preset range, the time offset cumulative sum threshold-crossing alarm will
be reported. The peak-to-peak value refers to the maximum fluctuation
value of the time offset cumulative sum during the reporting period.

This function is valid for the active detection mode. It supports reporting
data to the EMS, querying in real time and setting alarm threshold.

4 Absolute time reference comparison

If the equipment is able to obtain the GPS time directly, or obtain the
absolute time reference source directly from the 1PPS+TOD external input,
the equipment supports directly comparing the external reference time and
the PTP time and reporting the time difference. If the time difference
exceeds the preset range, the time difference (between external reference
time and PTP time) threshold-crossing alarm will be reported.

This function is valid for the active detection mode. It supports reporting
data to the EMS, querying in real time and setting alarm threshold.

9 Clock and Time Synchronization

4 Passive node time synchronization performance monitoring

When the PTP synchronization topology is set up for the synchronization


network, the BMC algorithm will decide the Passive port at a certain node
in the ring network to avoid loops. The node equipment supports enabling
the Passive port to calculate the PTP time offset via appropriate setting, so
as to implement performance monitoring by comparing the time difference
of two directions in the ring network obtained by the equipment at the
Passive and Slave ports respectively. When the time difference of two
directions in the ring network measured by the node where the Passive
port belongs to is larger, the equipment will report the ring network Passive
node time difference threshold-crossing alarm.

This function is valid for the active detection mode. It supports reporting
data to the EMS, querying in real time and setting alarm threshold.

u Delay compensation function and monitoring function

In the current network, asymmetry may exist in optical fibers and transmission
delay may occur on the 1PPS+TOD interface, the time synchronization
equipment and performance may be affected. The equipment supports the
asymmetric compensation function for optical fibers and the delay
compensation function for 1PPS+TOD link, and provides the compensation
setting and query on the EMS.

4 PTP asymmetric compensation function: Each port supports asymmetric


delay compensation independently. The compensation range is -100us to
100us, the step of compensation is no more than 10ns, and the
compensation mode is to set asymmetric compensation value (ns).

4 1PPS+TOD delay compensation: Each receiving port supports delay


compensation independently. The compensation range is 0ns to 10us, the
step of compensation is no more than 10ns, and the compensation mode
is to set compensation value (ns).

Network Management Security Protection

142 Version: D
10 Security Management

10.1 Network Management Security Protection

The following introduces the access control list, traffic monitoring, and anti-attack
functions of the CiTRANS 660.

10.1.1 Access Control List

The access control covers the user login management, classification of


management domains, control of access time and management of remote access.
The purpose is to prevent illegal users from visiting the network resources (including
the OTNM2000) or authorized users from visiting a network domain beyond their
authorization.

u The operator must enter the valid user name and password before accessing
the network management system. Only after being confirmed by the system
can the user be allowed to access. The purpose is to check whether the
operator is a legal user and has corresponding authority, so as to guarantee
that only the authorized operators can access the management system.

u The equipment to be managed is divided into different domains as required.


Operators are given different authorities with regard to management domains
and management functions. Only the authorized operators are allowed to visit
the specified domains and implement their management functions in the
authorized domains. The domains can be added or modified when necessary.

u The access time for users can be set as required. For example, the operators
are allowed to visit the EMS only in the specified period of time.

u The system supports adding, modification and deletion of users. New users can
be registered, and existing users can be modified or deleted via the network
management system.

10.1.2 Traffic Monitoring

The CiTRANS 660 supports the CAR function, and both the Color-Blind mode and
the Color-Aware mode are supported.

Version: D 143
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

Traffic Bandwidth Control

The default traffic bandwidth control policy of the CiTRANS 660 is to discard red
messages and let yellow and green messages pass.

The traffic control layers supported by the CiTRANS 660 include:

u Traffic policy statistics collection based on interfaces and sub-ports.

u Statistics collection of the user flow queues, including the forwarding message
number, byte number and discarded message number of the 8 priority levels.

u The forwarding message number, byte number and discarded message


number of the user group.

u Statistics collection of the port queues, including the forwarding message


number, byte number and discarded message number of the 8 priority levels.

u In the L2VPN, the CiTRANS 660 can collect the egress and ingress traffic
statistics of the accessed users when it serves as the PE equipment.

u As the PE equipment in the MPLS TE network, the CiTRANS 660 can collect
the statistics about the egress and ingress traffic of the Tunnel.

u Supports the traffic statistics collection of each PW in the Tunnel.

Service Priority Mapping

The CiTRANS 660 supports the DiffServ mode, and can implement PHB (Per-Hop
Behavior) defined by related standards in the MPLS network. This enables network
operators to provide different service guarantees at different QoS levels for users.

When forwarding data, the CiTRANS 660 supports the mapping from the user
priority level and the mapping from the PW layer priority level to the PHB, as well as
the mapping from the PHB of the transmitted packets to the PW / LSP layer priority
level.

The CiTRANS 660 can set PHB of the VPWS channel, VPWS flow, VPLS-VS and
VPLS emulation LAN interface. Users can either choose from the existing mapping
table of the PHB and the PW priority level, or set a specific PHB service level.

144 Version: D
10 Security Management

10.1.3 Anti-attack Capability

The CiTRANS 660 supports multiple protection functions against the network
attacks.

Queue Buffering Management

When the network congestion occurs or intensifies, the CiTRANS 660 will
guarantee the QoS of the services with high priority levels via certain queue
buffering management strategies.

The CiTRANS 660 supports two kinds of queue buffering management strategies:
tail drop and WRED.

u Tail drop

When the queue is filled to its maximum capacity, the newly arriving packets
are dropped until the queue has enough room to accept incoming traffic.

u WRED

Before the buffer zone of output reaches the START threshold, no data packet
will be discarded; when it reaches the END threshold, all the data packets will
be discarded; and when it is between the START and the END, all packets face
a probability of being dropped based on an average-queue-length function.

Queue Congestion Scheduling

When the congestion occurs, the CiTRANS 660 will provide QoS guarantee for the
service types with high levels via different queue scheduling strategies.

The CiTRANS 660 supports the following two kinds of queue scheduling strategies:

u SP

Strict priority queue scheduling strategy means to schedule the messages in


the queue strictly according to the priority levels. Only when the queues with
higher priority levels are empty will the messages in the queues with lower
priority levels be transmitted.

u WFQ

Version: D 145
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

Weighted fair queuing scheduling strategy means to implement fair scheduling


on the queues according to the weights assigned to the queues. Usually the
queues with higher priority levels have higher weights and occupy larger
bandwidth and the queues with lower priority levels have lower weights and
occupy smaller bandwidth.

Port Rate Limiting Function

Any SYS / Line port on the service card or SCU card of the CiTRANS 660 can be
configured with port rate limiting function, so as to limit the rate for the passing traffic
attack.

Malformed Packet Protection Function

The CiTRANS 660 uses the MTU to control the size of the incoming packets.

u The packets that are smaller than 64 bytes (local or remote collision fragment,
the short packet with invalid FCS) will be identified as fragment packet and
discarded.

u The data packets that are larger than the MTU configuration (usually 1518) and
carry invalid FSC will be identified as Jabber packet and discarded.

Broadcast, Multicast and Flooding Packet Suppression

The CiTRANS 660 supports the suppression function on the broadcast, multicast
and flooding packets. For the previous three types of data packets, the equipment
can set whether to enable the traffic suppression function and the data packet traffic
that is allowed to be passed through the port within a certain period respectively.

For the distributed DOS attack, the CiTRANS 660 can provide policies to prevent
the attack from spreading to the equipment.

IP Address Spoofing Protection

The CiTRANS 660 supports the URPF function, which means the equipment can
query the source address of the data packets and check whether the source
address matches the source interface of the data packet in the FIB table; If not, the
data packet will be discarded.

146 Version: D
10 Security Management

10.2 Network Management Security Protection

The following introduces the protection principles of the network management


system, including access control, management of user level and authority, data
security management, and log management.

10.2.1 Access Control

To prevent illegal users from visiting or visiting with more rights than authorized the
network resources (including the OTNM2000), the OTNM2000 provides the
following access control functions.

Management of User Login

u The operator must enter the valid user name and password before accessing
the network management system. Only after being confirmed by the system
can the user be allowed to access.

u The purpose is to check whether the operator is a legal user and has
corresponding authority, so as to guarantee that only the authorized operators
can access the OTNM2000.

User Log-off by Force

u Function description: The higher-level users can force the lower-level users to
log-off from the OTNM2000.

u Purpose: Avoid faults occur when multiple users are configuring one NE
simultaneously, or avoid other users log in the NE management system
illegally.

Distribution of Management Domains

u Function description: The managed NEs are divided into several domains
according to the network planning. Authorize users with different rights
according to the different management domains and different management
functions, and the users can only implement the management function in their
authorized domains.

Version: D 147
CiTRANS 660 High-capacity MPLS-TP Platform Product Description

u Purpose: Prevent the potential risks brought by the shared use of the Internet
database and guarantee the uniqueness of the configuration data.

Limit on the Login Time

u Function description: The login time of users can be set according to needs,
namely allowing the valid users visiting the EMS only during some certain
period.

u Purpose: Enhance the security level of the network and prevent the users from
accessing the EMS and performing the incorrect operations during the
abnormal period (including the time when replacing cards or testing the bit
errors).

License Control

u Function description: A user needs a license to log in to the OTNM2000. The


user cannot log in to the OTNM2000 after the license expires.

u Purpose: Enhance the security level of the network.

Login Password Control

u Function description: In case of three consecutive incorrect password entries,


the OTNM2000 Login Info dialog box will be locked automatically.

u Purpose: Prevent the unauthorized operators from trying to access the


OTNM2000 illegally.

10.2.2 Management of User Level and Authority

To define legal users and prevent operations beyond authority, the OTNM2000
divides the users into different authority levels.

The users are divided into four levels. Each level has the corresponding
management authority. For each user, only the management right of his / her own
level is authorized. The higher-level users have all the rights that the lower-level
users have.

The four user levels and the different functions they provide are listed below.

148 Version: D
10 Security Management

Advanced Users

The advanced users are system administrators authorized with the right of
configuring and modifying network resources. They are responsible to manage the
entire EMS, and can implement the security management operations such as
network control, setting of user passwords, adding, modification and deletion of
users, and log management.

u Create, delete and modify users of lower levels (including their user names and
passwords), and save the project configuration data.

u Query or delete logs.

u Delete alarm records.

u Authorize a low-level user to the corresponding management area.

u Delete performance history records.

Intermediate Users

The intermediate users are the system maintenance operators, who are responsible
for the daily maintenance of the system. They are allowed to create or delete the
users of lower levels, access the network, configure the service data, and back up
the configuration data.

u Perform routine maintenance of the EMS, deliver cross-connect configuration


and commands to equipment.
