What is ASON?
The automatically switched optical network is a new generation optical transmission Network.
Overview
Recently SDH optical communication system widely used an telecommunication in backbone layer, metropolitan layer & in access layer in transport network. SDH offers first protection and excellent management performance. with the development of telecommunication network and increasing user demands some problems in SDH systems appear more than more serious such as low bandwidth utilize and monotonous protection.

ASON just come to solve the above problems

The ASON is an optical transport network composed of ASON Network elements. ASON performance signaling transmission and switching. These NEs can store the topology, routing information of the whole network, automatically create and remove services through signaling.

The Logical Architecture of an ASON can be divided into 3 planes:
Transport Plane
Control Plane
Management Plane
The Transport Plane contains a number switches ( optical or otherwise) responsible for transporting user data via connections. These switches are connected to each other via PI (Physical Interface).
The Control Plane is responsible for the actual

resource and connection management within an ASN network. It consists of a series of OCC (Optical Connection Controllers), interconnected via NNIs ( Network to Network Interfaces).
These OCCs have the following functions: Network Topology discovery (Resource discovery) Signaling, Routing, Address Assignment Connection Set-up/Tear-down Connection protection/restoration Traffic Engineering Wavelength assignment

Management Plane is basically a complement

plane of control plane. It maintain the transport plane, the control plane and the whole system. Its main functions are as follows:1- Performance management 2- Fault management 3-Configuration management 4- Security management

The Need for ASON

In an optical network without ASON, when-ever a user requires more bandwidth, a new connection has to be requested and the service provider has to manually plan and configure the route in the network.
This is not only time consuming, but also wastes bandwidth when the user economically uses the connection.The bandwidth demand is going to increse with every momemts &IT has become precious resource.We have the expectations from future optical networks that they will be able to efficiently handle resources as quickly as possible .

The Need for ASON
ASON will be able to fulfill the requirements for the newer generation of optical networks such as:
Fast and automatic end-to-end provisioning Fast and efficient re-routing Support of different clients, but optimized for IP Dynamic set up of connections Support of Optical Virtual Private Networks (OVPNs) Support of different levels of quality of service
(These requirements are not restricted to optical networks and can be applied to any transport network (including SDH Networks)

Supported optical transport services

Permanent
OCh:- Permanent connection is a service
connection computed before hand and created through NM. The traditional SDH connections are permanent connection.
Switched
OCh:-Switched connection is a service connection
requested by a terminal user like Router and then created in the ASON control plane through signaling at the UNI
Soft
Permanent connection :-.setup from the management

Network
system using routing capabilities embedded in the network. It requires routing and signaling at the NNI to establish the connection.

Resource Reservation
The time slot created with ASON Services are managed by the ASON software and cannot be used by the any software to create permanent connection.
Level Switching Path (LSP)

The LSP is the path of ASON services passing through in ASON to create ASON services is to crate LSPs.
Control Channel (CC)

Control channels are created and maintained between adjacent nodes by link management protocols (LMP). Control channels divided into two types:In fiber Control Channel:- Usage DCC channel (D4 to D12) and can be discovered automatically. Out of fiber Control Channel:- Usage the Ethernet link and need manual configuration.

NMS
Out-of-Band (DCN)
Supports in-band (D-byte) and/or out-of-band control channel. Provides 1+1 stand-by for control channels when both in-band and out-of-band are deployed. The working channel will switch to the backup one in case of working channel failure.

Control
Controls links are detected and maintained by OSPF protocol. All ASON NEs get the control topology of the network.
Link:-
Traffic
Engineering Link (T E Link):- T E Link is the

:-rerouting is means of resuming
traffic engineering link. The ASON, NEs sends its bandwidth information to other ASON NEs through the T E Link to provide for data route computation.
Rerouting Rerouting Rerouting
services .when an LSP is disconnected, the source node queries and finds a best route to resume services.
Lockout :-rerouting is not required after failure of Priority :-when
LSP in some cases then we need rerouting lockout several LSPs have the same source node reroute simultaneously ,the LSP of higher priority reroutes first and has more possibility to reroute successfully.
10/25/2012
20
Shared
risk link group (SR LG) :-fibers in the same
optical cable have the same risks, when the cable is cut ,all fibers are cut. therefore ASON services should not be rerouted to another link that has the same risk.
Topology Auto-Discovery
Control Topology Auto-Discovery :-after the fibers in an
ASON network are connected correctly ,each ASON NE discovers control links automatically through OSPF and floods its own control link to the whole network.
Service Topology Auto -Discovery :-After an ASON NE

creates a control channel between neighbors NEs through LMP,TE link verification can be started. Each ASON NE floods its own TE links to the whole network through OSPF-TE. Each NE then gets the network wide TE links. this is network wise service Topology.

End-To-End Configuration

The ASON supports both SDH permanent connections and end-to-end ASON services. To configure an ASON service, we only need to specify its source node, sink node, bandwidth requirement and protection level. Service routing and cross connection at intermediate nodes are all automatically completed by the network. As compared with the service configuration of the SDH network, it fully utilizes the routing and signaling functions of ASON NEs and thus it is convenient to configure the service.

GOLD SERVICE
Gold services are applicable to voice and significant
data services. Compared with diamond services, gold

services have greater bandwidth utilization. When a fiber on the path of a gold service is cut, the ASON triggers MSP switching to protect the service at first. If the multiplex section protection fails, The ASON
triggers rerouting to restore the service.

Gold Service: Virtual Ring Protection + Restoration
When the first fiber cut happens, virtual ring will perform protection(<50ms) When the second fiber cut happens to the same virtual ring, service will be restored in 2 seconds.
Provide once 50ms protection and multi restoration, Anti multi fiber-failures
10/25/2012
42
SILVER SERVICE
Silver services, the revertive time is hundreds of milliseconds to several seconds. The silver level Service is suitable for those data or internet services that have low real-time requirement. Silver services
are also called rerouting services. When an LSP

failure, the ASON triggers rerouting to restore the service. If there are not enough resources, service may be interrupted.

Silver Service: No Dedicated Resource is Needed
When service is fall down, it will be restored to the new route. Service rerouting can be set as Revertible or Nonrevertible. All restoration service can be treat as High or Low priority, When resource is limited, High priority service is guaranteed to be reroute Rerouting can be locked / unlocked. Improves the bandwidth utilization dramatically and provide controlled networking

48
COPPER SERVICE
The copper services are seldom used. Generally,
temporary services, such as the abrupt services in

holidays, are configured as copper services. Copper services are also called non-protection services. If an LSP fails, services do not reroute and are interrupted.
10/25/2012
49
IRON SERVICE
The iron services are also seldom used. Generally, temporary services are configured as iron services. For example, when service volume soars, during holidays, the services can be configured as iron services to fully use the bandwidth resources.

Best Effort Rerouting When No Many

Directions
Bandwidth availability is improved by reusing part of the original route
