User Manual Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Introduction
This manual describes the functionality of the ELS-1000S Card (Layer 2 Aggregation card) as used in SMA Release 1.2, Series 3, Series 4, Ultra Compact (UC) and EX families of SMA products. As the ELS-1000S card installation procedures are similar for individual equipment, only SMA1/4C Subrack is used in this manual to illustrate the installation procedures. For further information on individual SMA products refer to the dedicated equipment manual available from Marconi. Increasing demand for Ethernet traffic over SDH networks means that bandwidth needs to be optimised, by introducing methods to align the network transport bandwidth to the real data speed in the Ethernet network. Using new traffic combination techniques in conjunction with new SDH mapping and capacity adjustment standards, an Operator can significantly reduce the required SDH bandwidth whilst simultaneously increasing the data transport capability. Single lines can be combined in to aggregated virtual lines, reducing the number of switch/router ports and therefore cost of ancillary equipment. The physical presentation of data can be made more efficient by feeding multiple low capacity connections (10Mbit/s100Mbit/s) in to a single Gigabit Ethernet signal. Figure 1-1 illustrates the ELS-1000S card (Layer 2 Aggregation card) as used in the SMA range of products.

ELS-1000S Card Features

Ethernet over SDH Mapper cards such as PacketSpan exhibits a 1:1 relationship between an Ethernet port and an SDH VC group. The ELS-1000S card supports this mapping mode as well as aggregation of Ethernet connections. For example, transfer of Ethernet traffic from multiple Ethernet ports in to a single SDH VC group or transfer of Ethernet traffic from multiple SDH VC groups in to a single Ethernet port.

User Manual Introduction Aggregation of physical available streams into virtual flows for optimising the number of used Ethernet ports and optimisation of used transport bandwidth.
Based on all demands Marconi has available a range of cards for its SDH platforms. The aggregation and switching functionality is available for the full SDH product range. There are two major service categories for packet transport across SDH networks, both of which are supported by the ELS-1000S Card. !" Layer 2 Transport is the connection-oriented mechanism to transport data packets as private lines transparently through an SDH network. Connections are either physically separated with a one to one relationship between physical input and output ports over a dedicated SDH VC (EPL), or input and outputs ports are shared so that aggregation of transport channels occurs (EVPL).
The performance of high quality data networks for business applications is very important and performance management is essential. Marconi is providing SDH performance management according to ITU-T G. 826 and 829 and data performance management.

Ethernet Physical Port Auto Negotiation

Auto Negotiation is a function of the Ethernet PHY layer and provides means for an automatic adaptation of the most important physical layer functions between two stations: !" It is supported for electrical 10M/100M/1000M Ethernet as well as for optical 1000M Ethernet.
The following parameters are negotiated: !" !" !" !" Speed Duplex Mode MAC PAUSE Capabilities in an asymmetric.
1.5.3.2
Auto-Negotiation Modes
Auto negotiation modes are "enabled" and "disabled". If "enabled" the capabilities of a port are advertised to the remote end (which advertises its capabilities to the local end). If "disabled" a fixed setting is done which cannot be negotiated. Configured per port (on/off).
Functionality
On electrical media using UTP cabling, the auto-negotiation information is encoded into bursts of short pulses, so-called Fast Link Pulse (FLP) bursts. Information is extracted from the bursts and provided to management software. On optical Gigabit Ethernet media, the auto-negotiation information is exchanged using special code words with the 8B/10B symbol range.
1.5.4
Media Access Control (MAC) PAUSE (Flow Control)

Media Access Control (MAC) PAUSE function is supported (initiation acc. to IEEE 802.3), in asymmetric fashion such that the attached device can be requested to pause, but pause requests by the attached device are not accepted. PAUSE is provisionably on a per port basis. This includes programmable buffer thresholds. Flow Control can be provisioned on a per port base in EPL mode without Link Aggregation.
1.5.5
Auto MDIX
Auto MDIX (Media Dependent Interface Crossover) ensures proper working of the Ethernet link if the Receiver and Transmitter cables have been interchanged. Auto MDIX is supported on all electrical Ethernet Ports.

Physical Interface
As illustrated in Figure 2-1 the ELS-1000S Card offers Electrical SFP and Optical cages on the front panel. These can alternatively be equipped with either a RJ-45 electrical SFP module or an optical SFP module.
2.1.3
Packet Switching Unit

The Packet Switching Unit is the heart of the ELS-1000S card and maps the incoming virtual packet link (Ethernet flow) to an outgoing virtual packet link (Ethernet flow). The Packet Switching Unit supports any kind of connectivity between flows. A flow can enter and exit the unit at any kind of interface (VCG and/or Ethernet port). Multiple flows can run across the same interface. It is possible to connect a VCG to a second one, an external port with a second one as well as any mixture. Figure 2-3 shows logical configuration options. The packets coming from the PSF to be transported on the SDH payload are framed using the GFP (Generic Framing Procedure). The VCGs are then mapped into one of the 24 SDH TC (SDH transport Channels). Note: Only two physical Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and four Fast Ethernet interfaces are available see Figure 2-4.

ELS-1000S Card Release 3.1.1 Note:
User Manual ELS-1000S Card Overview In the SMA1/4UC fitted with an ELS-1000S card, there are built into the card 24 virtual VCG/SDH TC pairs to be used for aggregation of Ethernet flows within the Ethernet domain.
The user can add suitable VCs to a particular VCG and can make Ethernet Connections) by cross connections between any of the designated interfaces, physical or virtual.
2.1.4
VC Groups and SDH TC (Transport Channels)

Virtual Containers are managed in the SDH domain, however the allocation of a VC-n to a VCG (Virtual Container Group containing VC-n) is within the responsibility of the embedded data domain. A VC-n is added to a VCG by creating an entry in the VC Table. Under the functionality of the Java LCT for the ELS-1000S the VCGs/SDH TC already exist and cannot be created or deleted. An individual VCG may exist, but may not have a VC-n associated with it VCGs can be provisioned with or without LCAS, however without LCAS there is no automatic adjustment in bandwidth, so in the event of failure of a member of a VCG, the whole VCG fails. Note: Each VC Group has a unique identifier that cannot be replicated.
2.1.5
Ethernet Services Supported

Release 3.1.1 supports these services: !" !" !" Ethernet Private Line (EPL) Ethernet Private Line with Multiplex Function (M-EPL) Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)
2.1.6
Service Level Agreement

The ELS-1000S card enables the implementation of multiple Ethernet applications across the SDH transport domain, shared by a possible multiplicity of clients at certain agreed bandwidths and class of service. Typical parameters concerning bandwidth are: !" !" !" !" CIR (Committed Information Rate) PIR (Peak Interface Rate) CBS (Committed Burst Size) PBS (Peak Burst Size)
This Service Level Agreement function enables the policing of traffic which belongs to a single flow of Ethernet packets i.e. a VPC (Virtual Packet Channel), on a per Ethernet packet flow basis by the creation of a Service Level Agreement to monitor the behaviour of a VPC.
Marconi
Page 21
Additionally, it is possible to police the traffic of multiple VPCs by a single Service Level Agreement instance. Defining whether a VPC is policed by a dedicated ID or a Service Level Agreement is shared by multiple VPCs is carried out by specifying a Service Level Agreement ID. To let a Service Level Agreement function only the traffic from a single VPC, there must be no other VPCI with the same ID amongst all the VPCI of the card. To enable a Service Level Agreement function the traffic from multiple VPCs, all VPCIs must be configured with the same value of Service Level Agreement ID.
2.1.7
Service Queues
Queues can be used to buffer/discard traffic in case of traffic congestion. Traffic congestion can arise when traffic with best effort components is configured, i.e. traffic with rates above the committed rate. Traffic congestion can also occur when failures in the network reduce the capacity of a link, e.g., failure of some VCs in an LCAS VCG. This service queue function enables traffic belonging to a single flow of Ethernet packets to be queued for the better working and efficiency of the functionality provided by the card i.e. a VPC, on a per Ethernet packet flow basis. In addition, it is possible to queue the traffic of multiple VPCs by a single queuing instance. Defining whether a VPC is queued by a dedicated queue or a queue is shared by multiple VPCs is carried out by specifying a value for the queue ID. To enable a queue to queue only the traffic from a single VPC, there must be no other VPCI with the same ID among all VPCIs which are allocated on an interface. To enable a queue to queue the traffic from multiple VPCs, all VPCIs must be configured with the same ID value. Note: It is not possible to assign the same queue ID value to VPCIs which are allocated on different interfaces.
A traffic queue is associated with an interface (either Ethernet port, or SDH TC). Depending on the scheduling type parameter selected, single or multiple traffic queues can be allocated on an interface. There are two types of queue available, namely: !" !" Note: WRED (Weighted Random Early Discard) Weighted Tail-Drop. Prior to release 3.1.1 it is not possible to have multiple queues per interface. There is a single queue per interface and all traffic over this interface passes through this queue.
2.1.8
Service Queue Internal Tags/Scheduling

These internal tags and scheduling parameters are the mechanism by which the Service Level Agreement requirements are implemented for a particular queue instance. !" Token Bucket/Colour/Colour Awareness: In order to police the traffic, a two token three colour marker scheme is used: There are two tokens

2.1.9
Framer Function
The framer functionality is responsible for framing the packets coming from the Packet Switching Function to be transported on the SDH payload according to GFP-F framing rules. The framer output is loaded in to a single or concatenated VCs. The ELS-1000S card supports virtual concatenated VCs according to ITU-T G.707.
2.1.10
System Adaptation Function

Due to different system structures in the SMA families of equipment, the backplane interface has been introduced to connect the generic Layer 2 design to the dedicated internal signals, busses and software functions of the different target products.
2.1.11
Ethernet Cross-Connections
The use of the term Ethernet Cross-Connection, in this context is not to be confused with the making of an SDH cross- connection. You implement an SDH crossconnection from the Connections item on the ELS100S card pop-up menu. The ELS-1000S PSF (Packet Switching Function) allows the flexible cross-connection between flows of packets from one interface towards another interface. An interface in this context can be: !" !" Physical Interface SDH TC (SDH Transport Channel)
A flow of packets on an interface belongs to a VPC (Virtual Packet Channel) and on the interface; a flow of packets is identified by a VPCI (Virtual Packet Channel Identifier). A VPC is an end-to-end packet flow and may span across multiple L2Cs SDH cross-connects, mapper cards or even third party equipment. The segment of a VPC between two PSFs (Packet Switching Functions) is called a Virtual Packet Link (VPL). The PSF establishes a flexible association between a Flow Point (identified by a VPCI) on one interface towards another Flow Point (identified by a VPCI) on a second interface). The term cross-connection is used here to refer to this flexible association. Additionally, to realise of point-to-point cross-connections, the PSF also supports the creation of point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-point and multipoint-to-multipoint crossconnections.
Marconi
Page 23
VPCIs need not be unique across all interfaces. The same VPCI value and type can be used on different interfaces therefore, in order to unambiguously identify a crossconnection, it is required to specify the endpoints of a cross-connection using two pairs of data. Each pair consists of interface identification and a VPCI, which is associated with this interface. Cross-connections can be grouped together. A point-to-point cross-connection, either uni-directional or bi-directional, gets a tag, which indicates, this cross-connection as belonging to a particular group. All point-to-point cross-connections within a group have the same group ID.

Concatenation
The ELS-1000S card supports Virtual Concatenation according to ITU-T G.707. For each SDH port of an ELS-1000S Card, the type of concatenation can be selected independent to the others. Depending on the selection the maximum transfer rate to SDH is different. The payload of a VCG VC-x-nv is simply x times the payload of the individual VC-x. The following are examples of VC-12, VC-3 and VC-4 concatenation types.

Generic Framing Procedure (GFP)

The ELS 1000S Card provides transport of Ethernet frames over SDH. For efficient mapping an encapsulation protocol of Ethernet over SDH is required. This provides a generic mechanism to adapt traffic from customer Ethernet sources into SDH VC groups. A client frame is received by cutting inter-frame gap and preamble and then mapped in its entirety into a variable length GFP frame that is sized according to the length of client frame.
Marconi
Page 28
2.3.6
Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS)

LCAS in the virtual concatenation source and sink adaptation function provides a control mechanism to increase or decrease capacity of virtual concatenated VC-groups. This optimises the used bandwidth to suit the changing needs of the applications. Additionally it provides protection capabilities without the need for fullfeatured SNCP. This is achieved by temporarily removing network links from the data flow in case of network errors.
2.3.7
Supported Frame Structures

The ELS-1000S card is able to transfer frame lengths beyond those quoted by the IEEE Ethernet standard 802.3. The ELS-1000S card can support frame length up to 1600 bytes including VLANs.
2.3.8
Jumbo Frames Mode

When the ELS-1000S card is in a jumbo frame mode of operation it can support Ethernet frames with a length up to 5000 bytes on a reduced number of interfaces. Bringing the card into jumbo frame mode causes a default database to be loaded, followed by a reset of the card. As this causes the loss of any previously existing configuration, a warning to this effect is displayed before the command to set the card into jumbo mode is sent to the card. This also applies if you want to switch from jumbo frame mode to non-jumbo frame mode. Table 2-5 shows the details of the possible frame length setups of the card. The switch between Setup 1 and Setup 2 is controlled by the LCT during commissioning of the ELS-1000S card.
Table 2-5: ELS-1000S Card Possible Frame Length Setups

Setup 1 2 Description Non-jumbo mode Jumbo5000-mixed mode VCG Type Non-Jumbo Non-Jumbo Jumbo # Of VCGs 24 4 2 Maximum MTU Size [Bytes] 1600 1600 5000
Note:
Switching between these two modes requires a reset of the card and leads to a loss of the connection database.
2.4
Link Loss Forwarding (LLF)

Link loss can occur on the failure of the equipment or port attached to the ingress of the link (incoming Ethernet signal failure), failure of the cable/fibre forming the link, or failure of an NTE or element within the link. At the egress point, the link loss earlier in the path can be indicated to a destination device in a variety of ways, including laser shutdown of optical ports. The key benefit of LLF is that when an Ethernet link fails, the link loss can be detected very quickly (ideally in the order of milliseconds) by the destination device attached to the egress of the link, causing some protection action to occur in the destination device (such as switchover to a protection path).

2.8
Equipping/Configuration Rules
The equipping rules for ELS-1000S are variable due to the different traffic bandwidths, tributary management characteristics, power supply systems and environmental characteristics of the different SMA products. These rules are described in the following sections 2.8.1 to 2.8.3.
2.8.1
General Equipping Information

All SMA products permit only four system cards to be equipped in any network element. A system card is defined as being a Cell Span, Combiner, ELS-1000S, ETA-100 or ETO-100 card. ELS-1000S cards can support traffic bandwidths of up to 4xVC-4 (in steps of 1xVC-4) to the SMA switch. However, the bandwidth supported by the tributary slot depends on both the SMA product type and the specific tributary slot within the SMA element. A maximum, total data tributary bandwidth can be supported by any SMA product. This varies according to the SMA product type and release. For the purpose of this rule, data refers to any traffic generated by an ELS-1000S, ETA-100 or ETO-100 card. There is no differentiation between EM-OS and MV36 management, because the data domain of the ELS-1000S is only supported by MV36. The SDH domain may or may not be managed using EM-OS. Hence MV36 is always required. Note: ELS-1000S card is not supported by Extender II or Series 4 SMA1/4CP.

2.8.2
Equipping Rules for R1.2, Series 3 and Series 4

Equipping rules for R1.2, Series 3 and Series 4 are as listed in Table 2-8.The power consumption of ELS-1000S is between 25 and 30W and exceeds that assumed during the development of R1.2, Series 3 and Series 4. Due to the power consumption and thermal dissipation, an ELS-1000S tributary is normally equipped with an empty slot immediately to the right. Any relaxation of this rule should only be applied following discussion of the specific application with Engineering. The overall configuration (for example whether MSP is used or not), the customer requirements and the environmental characteristics of the application (for example the ambient temperature range and whether or not the customer has installed fans or air-conditioning in the equipment room) must be taken in to account.

2.8.3
Equipping Rules for UC & EX Family

Equipping Rules for UC & EX family are listed in Table 2-9.The usage of ELS-1000S cards is not limited by power consumption, as UC & EX family products do not have centralised power supplies. Instead, there are separate PSUs for each tributary card. UC & EX family products can be fitted with internal fans as a configuration option. A fan must be used if an ELS-1000S card is used where the slot immediately to the right is occupied. EX comprises two fan slots. If the ELS-1000S card is fitted in trib slots 1-2 (with no vacant slot immediately to the right) then the left hand fan must be fitted. If the ELS1000S card is fitted in trib slots 3-7 (with no vacant slot immediately to the right) then the right hand fan must be fitted. Even if the configuration does not require fans to be fitted, the customer may optionally choose to install fans to increase the temperature range of the equipment or provide protection against accidental overheating of the environment.

3.1 Traditional Ethernet Private Line Operation
Ethernet Private Line (EPL) applications are common for interconnecting Local Area Networks (LAN), Ethernet Metro Networks as well as Wide Area Networks (WAN). The intention is to transfer data traffic from any Point of Presence (POP) to lesser numbers of concentration centres.

Figure 3-1 shows a network providing the EPL service. The SDH transport network connects Ethernet ports on each side of the network. Each of the private lines (1) to (3) is completely separated, which means there is a port per customer on each side of the network. The ports are connected via separate SDH transport container groups. On the network side of an EPL product, each Ethernet flow is mapped into an appropriate SDH transport container, a single container (VC-12/VC-3/VC-4) a group of virtual concatenated containers (VC-12-nv, VC-3-nv-and VC-4-nv). The transport container designates the Flow Point. On the Ethernet side the Ethernet flow is mapped to an Ethernet port. The complete Ethernet frame is transmitted, including the MAC header.
3.2
Multiple Ethernet Private Line

Consider an EPL scenario as shown in Figure 3-2 with tens of interfaces at the customer premises. For each port a single VC (or VC group) has to be allocated. The high numbers of customer interfaces require also tens of interfaces at the transport equipment connected to the core switch and the core switch itself. As traffic has been shaped before entering the SDH network each of the tunnels may carry only a fractional part of the physical Ethernet bandwidth. This leads to inefficient use of interfaces in both the transport devices and the core switch resulting in a higher than necessary network cost.

Optimisation of the Network

The fixed network structure shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 occurs during the initial introduction of Ethernet services on a standard SDH network. The basic network infrastructure is unchanged because only new add-on cards are equipped to carry the extra data types. The network is still based on SDH and does not use any typical aspects of Ethernet Data traffic behaviour, e.g. statistical multiplexing or multipoint connectivity. For optimisation, a number of different steps of Ethernet traffic aggregation can be introduced. These reduce the numbers of Ethernet ports in the network giving reduced network expenditure (CAPEX) as well as reduced operating costs (OPEX) and more efficient usage of the SDH transport capacity.
3.4
Ethernet Aggregation (SDH into Ethernet)

In this application, the aggregated signal appears on an Ethernet port (where Ethernet port means the external GigE or FastE ports). This is referred to as an Ethernet Aggregation function. When both private lines (2) and (3) are terminated on the same equipment at the same location, e.g. at the core switch, it makes sense to aggregate the traffic and hand-off to the core switch on a common Ethernet interface. The capital expenditure benefits increase as the number of lines being aggregated increases, with a saving in port count on the core switch, and a saving in per port/per link costs on the SDH side. Additional network connectivity can be added simply via remote network management activities without the need for Core site visits and new wiring. Figure 3-3 indicates the network solution. All the customer flows are still transported via single VCs (or VC-groups) and each packet channel ends at the core switch location to be aggregated into a single link. The packet channels 2 and 3 are now aggregated into a single Ethernet link carrying multiple private lines using the ELS1000S Card. On the aggregating Ethernet link the virtual lines are differentiated using a VLAN tag or a statically allocated MAC address

The Core router is configured to use sub-interfaces, which adds VLAN tags that the ELS-1000S card can recognise.

SDH Aggregation (SDH or Ethernet into SDH)

In this application, the aggregated stream is mapped to an Ethernet port (means external GigE or FastE ports) as well as to a SDH port (means VC-group). This referred to as an Ethernet (node 4) or SDH (node 1,2,3) aggregation dependent on the node type. The next step to optimise the network is to aggregate the private lines (3) and (4) between the customer site and the core switch to reduce number and size of used VCGs as early as possible. Such an aggregation point can also aggregate preaggregated signals (1), (2) delivered by Node2 as well as (5), (6) delivered by Node1. The ELS-1000S card is able to aggregate any mixture of Ethernet and SDH aggregation and when the external Ethernet ports of an ELS-1000S card are not used the term 'Blind Card' is used as shown in Figure 3-4. Aggregation at a SDH link means carrying several customer flows by using only one large VC-group instead of using many separated smaller VC-groups to the far end of the network. This type of aggregation provides the following additional benefits: !" Improved utilisation of transport bandwidth. Ethernet virtual private line services are sold at bandwidths far below the physical line rate of the Ethernet links. In the same way that an ELS-1000S card has a maximum number of external Ethernet ports, there is also a restriction on the number of SDH Virtual Concatenation Groups (VCGs), which can be supported. By using SDH link aggregation, this restriction is avoided and a large number of channels (or VPCs) can be configured in the network.
!"
Whether or not pre-aggregated flows like (1)(2) and (5)(6) are forwarded with/without decomposition has to be configured in any transfer ELS-1000S card for each flow. As shown in Figure 3-4 the pre-aggregated flow (1) (2) is forwarded as one input to the next stage. Flow (5) (6) has been terminated and distributed in two different directions.

SDH Link Aggregation with Remote Ethernet Port

Figure 3-5 shows another scenario of SDH link aggregation. In this scenario it assumes that the Ethernet flow (7) does not exist, so the last aggregation stage is not necessary. In such applications, a standard Fast Ethernet or a Gigabit Ethernet mapper card can carry out the connectivity to the Core Switch. The last ELS-1000S card (Node3) sends the Ethernet flows to the mapper card, which forwards them transparently via the Ethernet port to the Core Switch. The GigE card acts as a remote Ethernet interface. Based on the extent of the utilisation of the SDH network and the number and locations where customer Ethernet ports are available, the network could be configured in two different ways: !" Have only one aggregation point at the Core Switch location and use a lot of SDH capacity between customer Ethernet ports and the head end. Have more distributed ELS-1000S card cards in the network, reducing the SDH capacity requirements close to where the Ethernet flows originate, by aggregating the flows at the earliest opportunity.

Burst Compensation
The trend to offer Ethernet equipment with interfaces based on Gigabit Ethernet physical layer specification independently of the real port bandwidth applications with partially filled GigE flows should be considered. As an example the customer, port has been set to a CIR of maybe 20 Mbit/s but the physical layer is based on the Gigabit Ethernet specification. A burst can appear (2)(3) with Gigabit Ethernet speed and has to be stored in ELS-1000S Card. The ELS-1000S card maps the single Ethernet flows (2), (3) as configured into two VCGs, which consists of some low order VCs (5 x VC-12 and 3 x VC-12). If traffic bursts for a sustained period above the CIR, the ELS-1000S card limits the rate, enabling efficient adjusting of used SDH bandwidth according to the application demand. Additionally in some applications, it may be useful to have a Fast Ethernet interface instead of a partially filled Gigabit interface. The ELS-1000S card may be used to convert partially filled GigE pipes (4) into a cheaper and more appropriate FastE pipe (4) as well as vice versa.

Cascading of ELS-1000S Cards

In applications, where the demand for Ethernet or SDH interfaces is larger than that supported by one ELS-1000S Card, its possible to cascade two or more ELS-1000S Cards to reach a higher number of interfaces. This is achieved in two different ways as shown in Figure 3-7 below.

As shown in Figure 3-7 (left part) cascading can be achieved via an external GigE/FastE port if both ELS-1000S Cards are available in the same location. N x FastE interfaces could be aggregated on ELS-1000S Card-1. The aggregation output is available at the GigE port and is connected to the GigE port of ELS-1000S Card-2. It aggregates all its own FastE ports as well as the pre-aggregated flow from ELS1000S Card-1. The final aggregation flow is inserted into an appropriate VCG and transferred to the SDH network. Similarly as shown in Figure 3-7 (right part) cascading can be achieved by connecting both ELS-1000S Cards via the SDH switch. In such applications locations for ELS1000S Card-1 and ELS-1000S Card-2 could be different, because connectivity can be achieved via the local SDH switch or via the SDH network. Note: the overall bandwidth of ELS-1000S Card-2 is lower than that in the classical cases, because each preaggregated packet has to pass through the card twice via the Backplane, once when entering the ELS-1000S Card-1 and a second time when leaving it. Note: The two cascaded ELS-1000S Cards still appear as two different instances in the management system.

SDH Transport Channel Cascade

In some applications, particularly in LO SDH networks the demand of virtual channels (particular on small VC-12 groups) may be larger than that supported by one ELS1000S Card. In this case its possible to cascade two or more ELS-1000S Cards to reach a higher number of virtual channels. This can be done by two different ways shown in both parts of the figure below.

Link Loss Forwarding (LLF)

Link loss can occur on the failure of the equipment or port attached to the ingress of the link (incoming Ethernet signal failure), failure of the cable/fibre forming the link, or failure of an NTE or element within the link. At the egress point, the link loss earlier in the path can be indicated to a destination device in a variety of ways, including laser shutdown of optical ports. The key benefit of LLF is that when an Ethernet link fails, the link loss can be detected very quickly (ideally in the order of milliseconds) by the destination device attached to the egress of the link, causing some protection action to occur in the destination device (such as switchover to a protection path). Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) provides rapid protection by processing alternative routes in the connected data equipment. This is enabled by setting the appropriate parameters in the software, through the LCT/LCTS.
Figure 3-9: Link Loss Forwarding
In the example above, any of the following can occur: !" Failure of the Ethernet connection between Equipment A and SDH Multiplexer B Failure of the SDH paths between Multiplexer B and Multiplexer C Failure of the Ethernet connection between SDH Multiplexer C and Equipment D.
!" !"
LLF uses consequential actions for faults detected at Multiplexer B or C, so that a failure between Equipment A and Multiplexer C will cause the Ethernet connection to Equipment D to appear to have failed, and hence cause a switchover in equipment D to an alternative route.
Marconi
Page 48
3.9.1
Failure of the SDH Path

This is detected at the terminating Ethernet card as SDH Link Fail. This results in a consequent action at the Ethernet port, which is to turn off the Ethernet transmit for electrical ports, or to switch off the laser output for optical ports.
3.9.2
Failure of the Line Card Ingress Ethernet Connection

This can arise: !" !" !" As a result of a failure of the input Ethernet connection As a result of failure of a connected EPE module Due to a consequential action performed by the EPE module because of failure of the client port Ethernet connection.
LLF occurs in two stages: 1 Loss of input is detected at the source Ethernet card ingress port. The resulting consequential action is to send GFP Client Signal Fail (CSF) frames over the SDH connection. The terminating Ethernet card detects the CSF defect. This results in a consequent action at the Ethernet port, which is to turn off the Ethernet transmit for electrical ports, or to switch off the laser output for optical ports.
Figure 3-10 shows this procedure diagrammatically. The initial error is detected (red) and the resulting actions are shown (blue). The Ethernet transmit or laser output is switched off in the sink, and the system initiates procedures to find a new path to the destination.

User Manual Protection
Chapter 4: Protection
4.1 Introduction
In general all well known standardised SDH protection mechanisms are used for protecting Ethernet flows in SDH lines dependant on them being in VC groups. For example, SNCP can be used to double each VC (or VC group) between source and destination.
4.2
LCAS Based Protection

It is possible to establish a virtual concatenated group of VCs via LCAS protocol in order to maintain the data connection (at a lower bit rate) between the end points in case of a fault. This scheme is based on the assumption that VCs of the virtual concatenated VC group use diverse routes between the source and the destination. If one of these routes fails, LCAS reduces the total link capacity down to a value defined by the remaining working paths. After repair of the failure(s) LCAS increases the link capacity progressively back to the total bandwidth. During the loss of capacity overall throughput is reduced, but the connection is maintained and thus the service is still available.

Table 5-1: Guidance on Network Configuration

Summary L2C Discard At ETA-100 When Interworking with ELS-1000s Description ETA-100 and EPL-100 have limited buffering capabilities for traffic in direction SDHEthernet when the egress Ethernet interface works in 100 Mbit/s full duplex mode. When interworking between ELS-1000S and ETA-100/EPL-100, traffic sent from ELS-1000S to ETA-100/EPL-100 may be lost in the ETA-100/EPL-100 when the traffic rate is above 100 Mbit/s. In order to avoid the problem the VCG rate should be less than the rate of a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface. Note: Even if an upstream device shapes the traffic according to the egress rate of 100 Mbit/s, the ELS-1000S might slightly change the traffic characteristic so that traffic might be lost in the ETA-100/EPL-100.

Summary L2C Sum of Service Level Agreement (SLA) CIR's vs Interface Rate Description The Service Level Agreement (SLA) rate CIR and PIR are defined as net data rate for Ethernet frames. The Ethernet frame Includes Destination Address, Source Address, MAC Client Length/Type, MAC Client data (Payload), PAD, and Frame Check Sequence (FCS). Does NOT include Ethernet preamble, start of frame delimiter, and inter packet gap, Includes VLAN tags on the ingress interface. Does NOT include VLAN tags, which are added on the egress interface. The ELS1000 will restrict the Service Level Agreement (SLA) setting of both, CIR and PIR to a value Below the interface rate R: 1.Sum of CIRs of all Service Level Agreement (SLA) related to i/f <= R 2.PIR <= R The calculations 1 and 2 do not take any overhead in to account, therefore, those calculations perform a check for the best case, which holds for very long frames (infinitely long) and, thus, Perform an upper bound on the CIR or PIR, which can be carried. Using the above calculations 1 and 2 it is possible that the Measured throughput is below the CIR or PIR. Example: FE interface with R=100 Mbit/s, CIR=100 Mbit/s, PIR=100 Mbit/s, frame length L=64 byte. The maximum possible throughput on the FE interface is R*64/(64+20)=76.19 Mbit/s. Therefore, CIR or PIR can never be achieved. In order to achieve CIR and PIR even for 64 byte frames it is necessary. To require in this example that CIR <= 76.19 Mbit/s and PIR <= 76.19 Mbit/s. However, such a check is not performed by the ELS1000S.

Summary Packet loss with 96,5% load on FE interfaces Description Under certain circumstances (see below), 4 additional internal overhead bytes are added to each frame on an Ethernet interface. Therefore, the maximum possible throughput on an Ethernet interface may be limited below the maximum theoretical net throughput. For 64 byte frames, the maximum theoretical net throughput of Ethernet frames (Including FCS, excluding preamble, excluding start of frame delimiter, excluding interframe gap) is 76.1 Mbit/s on Fast Ethernet and 761 Mbit/s on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Due to the additional 4 byte, the throughput decreases to 72.7 Mbit/s on Fast Ethernet and to 727 Mbit/s on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, which is 94.1% of the maximum theoretical net throughput. The efficiency of 94.1% described above for 64 bytes is the worst case. For large Ethernet frames, the efficiency is higher, e.g. 99.7% for 1518 byte frames. For typical Internet traffic with an average frame size of 370 byte, an efficiency of 98.9% can be expected. The problem is present if one of the following circumstances is true: 1) When VPCI variant "VLAN Single" or "Destination MAC" is used on the Ethernet interface 2) When VPCI variant "No Segregator" is used on the Ethernet interface and If a cross connection is established to another VPCI of type "VLAN Single".

Summary Egress Throughput Performance Problem Description The ELS-1000S is not able to operate concurrently at line speed on all interfaces because the sum of all interface rates is higher than the maximum throughput. The ELS-1000S is defined for a maximum possible aggregate throughput of 2.5 Gbit/s. The maximum bit rates, which can ingress the card, is around 3 Gbit/s (2*GbE, 4*FE, 4*STM-4). Furthermore, the maximum possible throughput depends on the frame size and may be below 2.5 Gbit/s for certain frame sizes. Note 1: The worst-case throughput can be observed for a frame size of 65 byte. However, it is very unlikely that a frame size of 65 byte is observed concurrently on all interfaces over a period. A typical frame size distribution for Internet traffic has an average frame size of about 370 byte leading to better results. Note 2: Please note that for a typical system configuration with aggregation from SDH to Ethernet the maximum effective peak rates are: SDH => Ethernet: 600 Mbit/s plus Ethernet => SDH: 600 Mbit/s. Therefore, PIR_eff_sum= 1.2 Gbit/s <= B (max). This is sufficient also for the worst-case frame length.

Workaround Do not enable all interfaces AND/OR 2. Restrict the effective peak information rate (PIR) such that the sum of the effective peak information rates PIR_eff_sum on all interfaces does not exceed the maximum possible aggregate throughput of B (max) The throughput B (max) that needs to be taken into account depends on the average frame size Please note that this workaround does not limit the peak information rate for a single interface or a single flow. The workaround limits the sum of the peak information rates, which can be effective. If e.g. 5 flows with PIR (flow)=100Mbit/s are established on interface Eth1 with PIR (interface)=100Mbit/s, this would lead to PIR_eff_sum=100 Mbit/s. not 500Mbit/s.

Summary Ethernet Cards: Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Shapers, Bit Rates and Utilisation Description The committed information rate (CIR) and peak information rate (PIR) configured at the Service Level Agreement (SLA) of the ELS-1000S are defined as net data rate. The net data rate takes into account the Ethernet frame from MAC destination address to (including) the Frame Check Sequence (FCS). CIR and PIR do NOT take into account Ethernet preamble, start of frame delimiter (SFD) and Interpacket Gap (IPG), all overheads accounting for 20 byte per Ethernet frame. This usage of information rate is different compared to Marconi mapper cards, which interpret information rate as gross data rates. In this case, the rate is enforced against the Ethernet packet including preamble, SFD, and IGP. Because the CIR on ELS-1000S is a net data rate, it is not possible to guarantee a CIR with the value of the gross data rate on an Ethernet interfaces. In the worst case, for 64 byte Ethernet frames, the maximum possible net data rate is about 76.2% of the gross data rate. Example: For Fast Ethernet interfaces with a gross data rate R=100M bit/s the worstcase net rate will be achieved for 64 byte frames with r_64=76.19 Mbit/s. For 1600 byte frames the maximum possible net data rate is r_1600=98.76 Mbit/s which is very close to the gross data rate of 100 Mbit/s

Chapter 6: ELS-1000S Card Installation

6.1 Introduction
As the ELS-1000S card installation procedures are similar for individual equipment, only SMA1/4C Sub rack is used in this chapter to illustrate the installation procedures. For further information on individual SMA, products refer to the dedicated equipment manual available from Marconi.
CAUTION!
Personnel working on the equipment must wear a static protection wrist-strap connected to the rack-framework earth-protection point. Other relevant antistatic precautions are also to be observed at all times during commissioning work.
6.1.1
Optical Safety
The optical source devices (SFPs), which are used in this equipment, are classified under laser radiation safety standards IEC/EN 60825-1. The use of these optical devices within the equipment, however, involves drive, power monitoring and control circuitry to limit the power available from these devices, the design and setting up of the equipment ensures that the product meets the class 1 limits. The corresponding hazard level is HL1. No attempt should be made to adjust or tamper with the laser or its control circuitry as this may result in class 1-emission limits being exceeded. A safety interlock/shutdown mechanism is provided, which limits the emission duration of the transmitted output power to a maximum of 4.6 seconds in the event of a fibre breakage.

A Access Link ITU defines the ethernet link between the provider edge and the customer edge as access link. MEF uses the term user network interface UNI.
B Bridge E Egress I Ingress R Router S Switch Switch in general way is a device that switches packet, typically at ethernet like MTU sizes. A switch on layer 2 is typically a bridge. A switch on layer 3 a router A layer 3 switch can operate as a router. Not every router, however is a layer 3 switch The traffic entering the transport network is called ingress traffic The traffic exiting the transport network is called egress traffic. A bridge is a layer 2 switch
T Trunked Transport A customers LAN is trunked through a network when a VLAN tag is used to identify the virtual packet channel on an aggregating access link. ITU defines the provider network internal link, that connects access links as the trunk link. Note, that the layer 2 switching world a trunk link is a link between bridges carrying multiple LANs or VLANs. In a typical scenario a data world trunk link would become a transport world access link. A customers LAN is tunnelled through a network when a dedicated (stacked) VLAN tag or an MPLS label is used to identify the virtual packet channel.
