9 • Link aggregation
The 7330 ISAM FTTN (Fiber To The Neighborhood) has the same feature set as the 7302
ISAM, except for the number of lines attached (scalability).
FTTN system is a compact remote IP DSLAM designed to address the growing need for a
deep fibre access solution
Targeted market:
small number of lines
remote deployment
Apart from the 7330 FTTN Host CO device, which can still terminated DSL subscribe
lines directly (allowing from 4 to 10 LTs, depending on equipment practice), there is
now also the 7330 RA (Remote Aggregator). The 7330 RA only supports the
aggregation of REM and SEM devices (not direct DSL termination any more).
Remark: 7330 FTTN has 24Gbps switching capacity, whereas the 7330 RA has a
capacity of 44Gbps

Logically, the 7330 FTTN host and the REM(s) behave as one single ISAM. The REM has
splitter and LT functionality and is managed as if it is a LT board inserted in the
FTTN host.
On the 7302 you have the possibility to have FE optical interfaces via one of the
available NT I/O cards on XD hardware (ECNC-B) see later. This card however is not
insertable in the 7330 FTTN unit. Therefore FE Optical network links are not possible
in 7330 deployment to the network. Via the NELT card (see later), FE towards the
end-user is supported on the FD equipment practice.

At the user side, the ISAM terminates ADSL/ADSL2/Re-ADSL/ADSL2+, SHDSL & VDSL
links. It is also possible to terminate a limited number of Fast Ethernet or Gigabit
Ethernet links (FE/GE).
At the network side, the ISAM terminates GE or FE links. In case of more than 1 FE or
1 GE, Ethernet link aggregation can be used. The Ethernet links can also be
connected to 1 or more Ethernet switches. The Ethernet switches forward the frames
over the Ethernet based aggregation access network until it reaches the IP Edge
Router of the corresponding network service provider. At the IP Edge Router, the
frame enters the IP backbone of the network service provider. The ISAM can also be
connected directly to the IP Edge router, in which case the Ethernet aggregation
network is reduced to 1 or more parallel Ethernet links.
At the user side it is also possible to connect subtending IP-DSLAMs. It is possible for
example to connect ISAMs in cascading model. The last system can be any IPDSLAM,
e.g. an ISAM/FTTN, or an Alcatel ASAM with an Ethernet uplink (FENT or GENT) or
any other kind of DSLAM with Ethernet uplink.

The cascaded topology allows installing shelves and racks in a chain. The so-called
subtended system is connected to the main system through a subtending interface
(such as Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet) and shares the network interface of the
main system. Depending on the exact purpose (expanding to large DSLAMs in certain
central offices and/or increasing coverage in the network by positioning DSLAMs at as
many locations as possible), the subtended systems can be located near the main
system (=co-location) or at a remote location.
There is no strict limitation on the number of subtended ISAMs. Each ISAM has its own
free running clock. Of course, the available and necessary bandwidth has to be
taken into account.
Note that also other types of DSLAMs can be cascaded of an ISAM via Fast or Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces: 730x ASAM, 730x ASAM-c, 7324 RU, non Alcatel DSLAMs.
Sometimes, the cascaded topology is also referred to as the daisy-chained topology.

A 7302 ISAM can also be used as an aggregation multiplexer to collect traffic from
multiple directly connected subtended DSLAMs. Rather than adding subtending
levels, we then create a star architecture. Again, other DSLAMs can be subtended
through FE/GigE and the subtended systems can be located near the main system or
not.

15
It is possible to put the ISAM in a ring architecture, i.e. a special case of the cascading
architecture where the last system of the chain has yet another uplink to the EMAN
network as well.
The maximum number of devices in the ring is 8, because of delay when using RSTP.
Such a limitation does not exist on STP, but due to the long time it takes for STP to
adapt to changes in the topology, STP should not be used.
Another option is to use MSTP, where it’s possible to have different topologies for
different VLANs. See chapter on Spanning Tree Protocol, later.

LT units (≥R3.3).
The 7330 ISAM RA can support upto 24 remote LT units
The Alcatel-Lucent 7354 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) Fiber-to-the-

and cabinet deployments, designed to deliver up to 100Mbps over VDSL2 (24 ports).
See chapter later in this presentation.
Subtending vs. Expansion topologies (2/2)
subtending

---
The Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) is a frame based Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), i.e. a digital subscriber line (DSL) access multiplexer
which is based on a (ethernet) frame forwarding architecture in a packet aggregation
network.
Different types of ISAM do exist, but conceptually they have the same building blocks.
The mapping of functional blocks to hardware modules depends on the equipment
practice chosen.
Data forwarding in the ISAM is accomplished by interworking functions (on LT’s) and/or
an aggregation function (on the NT): both of them include a forwarding engine.
The core of the ISAM is the 24 port Ethernet service hub (shub or aggregation switch),
providing a 24 Gbps switching capacity.
The line termination module terminates subscriber interfaces and provides the
interworking and aggregation function towards the service hub.
The LT-module actually consists out of 2 functional submodules. The transport
function ant the IWF(Interworking function).
The transport function varies with the type of access technology used (ADSL, VDSL,
SHDSL, Ethernet, ...).
For DSL interfaces, the transport function contains:
the High-Pass Filter (HPF) , separating the DSL portion of the signal spectrum
from the narrowband signal (POTS or ISDN)
the DSL modem function, providing the physical layer termination of the DSL
signal
The line termination module (cont’d)
Transport function
On the slide you see that the LT module terminates VDSL or SHDSL (EFM) and below the
line termination module terminates xDSL or SHDSL (ATM-based). Depending on the
access technology terminated, you will have a different type of LT board.
The IWF handles frame forwarding, including sophisticated filtering and traffic
management (QoS), all at the line rate of the transport medium.
Internally the ISAM is Ethernet based. As a result of this, the IWF will, in case of DSL
interfaces with ATM transport mode, also remove ATM/AAL layer.
Line termination modules ( located on LT-boards), are connected to the aggregation
function via the ASAM-ports or expansion port Æ the line card can be a separate box
(REM) (which doesn’t behave as a standalone node!).
Links between aggregation function and LT-boards are called ASAM-links.
Links between aggregation function and REM are called expansion-links.
The remaining ports on the service hub can be allocated to uplink interfaces (connecting to
the upstream E-MAN), to subtending interfaces (connecting to downstream Ethernet
DSLAMs) or to user Interfaces (connecting directly to 802.3 subscribers).
IEEE 802.1d STP and IEEE 802.1w RSTP are supported on network ports only.
IEEE 802.3ad Link aggregation is supported on network ports and subtending ports.
The max. number of LT’s and the max. number of uplinks depends on the equipment
practice.
The packet processing architecture of the ISAM family is future-safe and specifically
designed for multimedia and business service delivery over IP/Ethernet aggregation
networks.
The Control and Management function is required for maintenance and operations, remote
inventory information, shelf management. As the name indicates, this function
implements the management plane of the system and part of the control plane, in
particular the part related to subscriber management which is typically not found in an
Ethernet switch product. The Control function is distributed over multiple general-
purpose processors, managing the system, service hub and LT modules in a hierarchical
way.
The ACU (alarm Control unit) module provides collection & distribution of equipment &
customer alarms.
The clock module generates the system clock. It consists of a local oscillator which can
optionally be locked to an external reference clock (BITS).
The TAU (Test Access unit) function provides access to an external line test head (for
Metallic Test Access) and provides control of the MTA relays on the splitter modules.
Manages the switching of signals between the MTA ports (located on the PWIO-B) and
subscriber lines (connected to appliques).
The Power function is the interface point to the external DC power supply systems and
provides power monitoring, filtering, distribution and securing functionality.
The 802.3 Port function provides the physical layer interface for Ethernet ports. Electrical
auto-sensing 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports and optical FE/GE ports on SFPs are supported.
Server modules can be plugged into LT slots. Instead of providing subscriber connectivity,
they typically provide an auxiliary central processing function, e.g. the ISAM-V IVPS (ISAM
voice Packet Server) module, which provides a centralized signalling interface to the call
server or softswitch. Server modules are not discussed in this presentation, nor indicated
on the drawing. They are discussed in separate dedicated courses.
SMAS module Æ System MAC Address storage.
The SMAS module is integrated on a remote inventory PROM that contains the MAC
address of the ISAM (NT). Upon booting up of the ISAM, the MAC address is read by the
active NT (orIntro
ISAM Product Overview the and
standby NT in case of failure
Architecture 23 of the active NT).

4 Equipment Practice
27
Equipment practice is mainly about the mechanical and electrical aspects of the equipment:
physical dimensions,
number of shelves allowed in a rack,
power feeding,
electro magnetic interference
…
In this course we are covering eXtreme Density equipment practice (XD) as well as Flexible
Density equipment practice(FD).
FD equipment practice is the successor of the XD equipment practice.
For both equipment practices, ISAM 7302 and ISAM 7330 FTTN products will be covered.
