1 Scope
This document defines the interworking solution between 9500 MPR based microwave transport networks and IP/MPLS aggregation networks with the use of Ethernet VLLs (Epipes).

2 Audience
This document is intended for product and solution managers, and R&D personnel of WTPG and IPD. It is not intended for general distribution.

3 Introduction
This document is applicable to transport networks where the customer is asking: to gather traffic from peripheral locations to central locations to have microwave based access to have IP/MPLS based aggregation
Customer peripheral stations MW transport IP/MPLS transport Customer central locations

MW

IP/MPLS

There is a suitable number of hand-off sites between the microwave backhauling and the IP/MPLS fiber backhauling (i.e. between the L2/Static MPLS domain and the dynamic MPLS domain). In the hand-off point(s) a Gigabit Ethernet connection is typically used to connect the microwave equipment with the IP/MPLS equipment. Microwave network topology is typically a daisychain layout in the access network (see Figure 1). For the purpose of this solution, the topology of the MW network is not vital to the operation of the interworking function at the hand-off site.

Handoff point

The different native services (TDM, ATM/IMA, Ethernet) are mapped in the hand-off point into Ethernet.

Two interworking models will be introduced in a phased approach: Interworking model 1 => Epipes In the hand-off point the native services will be mapped as: o ATM => into an MPLS PW o TDM => into a MEF-8 PW o Ethernet => as native Ethernet The IPD network will then use Epipes to (re-)encapsulate everything into PtP Ethernet connections

4 General Deployment Parameters


4.1 Physical Connectivity
4.1.1 9500 MPR
The MPR is a microwave radio link made of an Indoor Unit (IDU) and an Outdoor Unit (ODU). The IDU is providing different customer interfaces: PDH E1 through the PDH plug-in, ATM/IMA/E1 through the ASAP board, Ethernet through the Core board.

4.1.2 IPD Products


4.1.2.1 7450 ESS The 7450 supports several variants of GigE MDAs with different number of ports. The IOM3/MDA-XP variants also support SyncE. In most cases, GigE links will be at the handoff point, but there is the possibility of using FE. In addition, 10GigE is possible in the uplink. Some applicable MDA types are listed in Appendix A. 4.1.2.2 7705 SAR A likely candidate for handoff sites is the 7705 SAR because of the evolution path for this product to support ATM PW switching (Phase 2). The 7705 supports an 8-port Ethernet Card. Includes 2 GigE SFP ports, 6 10/100 FE RJ45 ports and Synchronous Ethernet. Each port can be used for access or network ports. 4.1.2.3 7750 SR The 7750 supports several variants of GigE MDAs with different number of ports. The IOM3/MDA-XP variants also support SyncE. The 7750 supports multiple technologies of MDAs, whether it is directly connected to the MW network or is in the MTSO. The relevant MDA types are listed in Appendix B.

4.2 Encapsulation
4.2.1 9500 MPR
MPR is accepting the following native services types: E1, ATM/IMA/E1, Ethernet. In the hand-off point the different services are encapsulated as follows:

E1 service o Protocol stack is E1/MEF-8/VLAN/Ethernet. o There is a one-to-one correspondence between o E1 <=> ECID(=PW_label) <=> VLAN_ID. o ACR without RTP is used in conjunction with 7750. Ethernet frames going from MPR to 7x50/7705 have o unique MAC SA equal to the MPR MAC address in the hand-off point. o MAC DA is configurable per PW

ATM service o Protocol stack is ATM/PW/MPLS Tunnel/VLAN/Ethernet. o A single and provisionable MPLS Tunnel label is used; in a network with N hand-off points, there will be N different tunnel labels. Typical values for N are from 1 to 40. o Each tunnel can carry hundreds of ATM PWs. o Tunnel header in the direction MPR => 7x50: Tunnel_label is configurable (range:32 to 287, automatically derived by MPR from PW_label and MPR-internal VLAN_ID); Tunnel_exp bits are copied frame-by-frame from PW_exp bits. o The hashing function that maps ATM PW_label and VLAN_ID to Tunnel label allows to use up to 512 different ATM PW_label and VLAN_ID values into the same tunnel label. o o Tunnel header in the direction 7x50 => MPR: the info embedded in the Tunnel tag (label and exp) are not used by the MPR. o With reference to RFC4717: N-to-1 mode with N=1 is the encapsulation method; the mapping can be either VC<=>PW or VP<=> PW; the former being the typical behaviour, because of QoS management with NodeBs generating 1 VP with multiple VCs at different ATM service category levels. o Cell concatenation possible and provisionable (N ATM cells per MPLS packet; 1N28).

o PW header in the direction MPR => 7x50: the PW label is provisionable per PW and a unique value is used for both directions; the PW_exp represents CoS derived from original ATM SC. o PW header in the direction 7x50 => MPR: the PW_label is used by MPR to reconstruct MPR-internal VLAN identifiers; the PW_exp is used to determine MPR-internal CoS info (used in the Core switch). o A VLAN tag is present, with a single and provisionable VLAN identifier. o In the direction MPR => 7x50 the VLAN p-bits are copied frame by frame- from the PW exp bits; this allows a Carrier Ethernet transport equipment (e.g. the 7450) to use specific Ethernet QoS mechanisms for traffic forwarding (e.g 7450 opening an Epipe with its own PW exp bits, and mapping there the received p bits info) o In the direction 7x50 => MPR is not using received p bits; the MPR is remarking the VLAN p bits frame by frame in order to declare each frame green=in-profile. Ethernet frames going from MPR to 7x50/7705 have o unique MAC SA equal to the MPR MAC address in the hand-off point. This behavior has a direct impact on the service configuration in the IP/MPLS aggregation network. o MAC DA is configurable per PW Ethernet service o MPR can be configured for the Eth service either in bridge mode in accordance to 802.1d or in VLAN mode in accordance with 802.1q Different cases can be envisaged: MPR in bridge mode and customer delivering only tagged frames => 7450 can open one tagged Epipe per VLAN. MPR in bridge mode and customer delivering both tagged and untagged frames => 7450 will open an Epipe in per VLAN and supports null VLAN ID (0) and default service (*) for untagged frames and tagged frames with no explicit service definition. 7705 SAR also supports these service capabilities. MPR in VLAN mode => both tagged and untagged customer traffic can be accepted by the MPR. Here the MPR will tag customer untagged frames with provisionable VLAN_ID.

o Ethernet frames going from MPR to 7x50/7705: the GW MPR will not change any field in the L2 Ethernet layer (MAC SA, MAC DA, VLAN if present). This is different from TDM and ATM hand-off behavior.

4.2.2 IPD Products


The solutions in this document always make use of Epipe services in the IP/MPLS aggregation network. An Epipe service is a layer 2 point-to-point service where the customer data is encapsulated and transported across a service providers IP/MPLS network. An Epipe service is completely transparent to the subscribers data and protocols. The 7450 ESS Epipe service does not perform any MAC learning. IPD products encapsulate data based on the port type and service configuration. Ports can be configured either as access or network ports. 7450 Ethernet capable ports can use Null, dot1Q, or QinQ type. Epipe services are initiated against a specific port/VLAN and can be tagged and/or untagged. A service may also be defined for the null VLAN ID 0 on a given physical port. Also, a default service can be used for all tagged/untagged frames with no explicitly defined service. The default SAP is designated by the port ID and :*. Please see 5 for more details on encapsulation formats for each solution.

4.3 Scalability
4.3.1 IPD Products
Depending on the platform and chassis sizes that are deployed in the IPD segment of the network, the scalability numbers will be different. Network architecture dictates what ultimately becomes a scaling issue. For example, typical limiting parameters on the MTSO 7750s are: Network Interfaces T-LDP sessions BFD sessions OSPF adjacencies Ports per LAG group SR1 IP interfaces For example, prior to release 8.0 of the 7750, up to 240 distributed MW clusters (=handoff points) can be accommodated. As of R8.0, the limit will be close to 1000. Even prior to R8, this is foreseen to be more than sufficient to support MW access aggregation interworking. Scalability of a given solution will be detailed in 5. Alcatel-Lucent IPD and WTPG Interworking Solutions Over Ethernet VLLs Internal use only - Copyright 2009 Alcatel-Lucent. All rights reserved.

4.4 Traffic Management


4.4.1 9500 MPR
Within the uW MPR clusters each type of service/traffic is treated accordingly to its nature to guarantee customer expectations on E2E native quality. This is obtained applying various techniques to properly manage the different types of traffic; here below a summary will be given, for a full description pls refer to the 9500MPR Intranet documentation. Ethernet customer traffic is classified and managed according to 802.1p bits or to DSCP bits. ATM customer traffic is classified and managed according to the original ATM CoS (CBR, UBR+, UBR, ). Cell concatenation is optionally used to optimize radio bandwidth usage. TDM customer traffic is recognized and always assigned to the highest priorities scheduler queues to minimize latency.

4.4.2 IPD Products


IPD products support the classification of traffic based on ToS fields in the encapsulation (eg. P-bit, DSCP, and EXP). When using Epipes within the IP/MPLS network, the p-bit of ingress traffic is the only means of classifying traffic. In the solutions presented in this document, the assumption is that traffic arriving from the MW cluster is tagged with an appropriate p-bit value to differentiate CoS.

5.1 ATM Interworking


5.1.1 Description
The 9500 MPR ASAP card can terminate ATM-IMA links from a WCDMA Node B. The ATM cells are then transported to the GW MPR which performs the encapsulation as described in 4.2. At the hand-off point, the 7xxx initiates an Ethernet VLL service (Epipe) which will be used the transport the ATM payload to the the MTSO. The 7750s in the MTSO must terminate the Epipe and exit the chassis and reenter to terminate the Apipe frames constructed by the GW MPR. With dualchassis 7750s in the MTSO, it is possible to configure redundant PW services that are protected end-to-end (see .Figure 2)

5.1.2 Physical Connectivity


Hand-off point A single GigE port from the 9500 MPR can be connected to a single 7xxx GigE port at the hand-off point. The 7xxx port must be configured as an access type in order to initiate the Epipe services. 7750 SRs A GigE port is required for the network ingress of the Epipe service. The termination of this service is done on another GigE port (or LAG group of ports) which loopback to the same chassis to network ingress of the static Apipe service. The 7750 supports single or multi-chassis APS connectivity to the RNC. Typically this is an ATM STM1/OC3 concatenated interface, but higher rates are also supported if needed.

5.1.3 Scalability
IPD Network With no other services configured on the same network, the 7750 SRs can support up-to a maximum of 992 static MPLS tunnels. Prior to release 8.0 of the 7750, up to 240 distributed MW clusters (=handoff points) can be accommodated (240 is related to the maximum number of 7750 network interfaces every uW cluster is seen as a Network adjacency taking up 1 network IP interface) As of R8.0, the limit will be close to 1000. This is foreseen to be more than sufficient to support MW access aggregation interworking. There may be other important scalability considerations that need to be made. These are often dependent on the backhaul network architecture, and would have to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

5.1.4 Requirements
Unless otherwise noted here, the products used in the solution already support the technologies to perform the aggregation functions described in this solution. For example, it is implied that the PE router in the IP/MPLS aggregation network support Epipe services. Features to be implemented:

5.2 TDM Interworking


5.2.1 Description
In the hand-off point the protocol stack is a standard MEF-8, with different VLAN identifiers associated to different E1 signals. The number of VLAN_ID per hand-off point has a wide range, with typical values between 10 and 300.

5.2.2 Physical Connectivity


Hand-off point A single GigE port from the 9500 MPR can be connected to a single 7xxx GigE port at the hand-off point. The 7xxx port must be configured as an access type in order to initiate the Epipe services. 7750 SRs A minimum of one GigE port and one CES port are required on each 7750 SR. The 7750 can terminate MEF8 over Epipe without having to exit the chassis (as in the ATM case above). The 7750 supports single or multi-chassis APS connectivity to the controller over a channelized OC3/STM1 or OC12/STM4 interface. If the controller requires native TDM links, then a MUX/DEMUX would have to be deployed between the controller and the 7750 SRs.

5.2.3 Scalability
IPD Network Consider that at least theoretically- there is a limit on the number of E1s due to the connection in the BSC/RNC central location between the 7750 and the BSC/RNC. This limit is related to 4 x STM1 output ports of each CES MDA (Circuit Emulation Media Dependent Adapter). Example with SR12: there are 20 available slots for MDAs; assuming that 10 of them are used as CES MDA to terminate MEF-8 services, this is introducing a limit of 10 (MDA) x 4 (STM-1 ports) x 63 (E1per STM-1) = 2520 E1. This is not seen as a real restriction.

5.2.4 Requirements
There are no additional product requirements for supporting this solution.

5.3 Ethernet Interworking


5.3.1 Description
Ethernet traffic is natively bridged in the GW MPR. When multiple technologies are being aggregated from the MW network over the IP/MPLS network, it is preferable to use Epipe service from the handoff point to transport the Ethernet frames. This allows all the technologies (TDM, ATM, and Ethernet) to use a single GigE access port on the 7xxx in the hand-off. (NOTE: in future releases it may become possible to have hybrid ports on the 7xxx products. Hybrid ports can support both access and network traffic on a single physical interface)

5.3.2 Physical Connectivity


Hand-off point A single GigE port from the 9500 MPR can be connected to a single 7xxx GigE port at the hand-off point. The 7xxx port must be configured as an access type in order to initiate the Epipe services. Alternatively, Ethernet bridging overlay can be used in the IP/MPLS domain. This solution requires the configuration of a network port on the 7xxx in the hand-off point.

5.3.3 Scalability
There are no additional scalability concerns for this solution.

5.3.4 Requirements
There are no additional product requirements for supporting this solution.

F.1 ATM Interworking Solution


This section describes ATM interworking topology used to validate the AlcatelLucent 7750 SR with the 9500 MPR ATM services as depicted in Figure 5 . Different topologies are possible for the Mobile Backhaul solution using ATM PW, but we believe this one would be the most complex to achieve since it offer the most amount of protection via PW redundancy, MC-LAG and MC-APS. Testing was performed in the IPD Mobile Solutions Lab, located in Ottawa Canada, during the July of 2009 time period. Note: 7670 ESE ATM Switches are used to emulate the Cell Site and Switching Centre equipment in the following figure.

F.1.2 Failure Scenarios Validation


Test conditions are: Network Synchronization as per Model A in section F.4 Network interfaces on 7750 SR1 and SR2 facing 9500 MPR (i.e. LAG 20:1000 in diagram above) are manually configured to use the same mac addresses. Static arp is provisioned for the mac address of the closest 9500 MPR (Node F in diagram above). This mac address must have the multiclass bit enabled. Access interfaces on 7450 SR5 attached to 9500 MPR is a LAG (i.e. Port is configure Ethernet no autonegotiate in the diagram above) ATM traffic (MPLS), TDM (MEF8) and ETH traffic were on same physical port to the MPR 9500 In this solution ATM traffic is carried via A-Pipe terminate on a MCAPS STM1 pair on the 7750 SR1/SR2 and the other side terminate on the MPR9500 E1 IMA ports (6 ports in the IMA group). o A-Pipe 3: 60 cell/s on VC 1/37 transmitted in bidirectional Alcatel-Lucent IPD and WTPG Interworking Solutions Over Ethernet VLLs Internal use only - Copyright 2009 Alcatel-Lucent.

In this solution ETH traffic is carried via E-Pipe terminating on 7750 SR1 and the other side terminates on SR5. Ethernet traffic travel over microwave link and is deliver to ETH port on MPR-C. E-Pipe 890: IXIA generate 100Mbits/sec of random packets of 64-1500 bytes on Vlan 3002. E-Pipe 891: IXIA generate 100Mbits/sec of random packets of 64-1500 bytes on Vlan 3003. The SAP to SAP connection converts Vlan 3003 to Vlan 3002 to be delivered to the ETH port on the MPR9500. RSVP-TE and TLDP was used for signaling in the dynamic portion of the network with OSPF (E-pipes). MPLS static LSP label and static Pseudowire label are used for the A-Pipe data to the 9500 MPR via this Ethernet Pseudowire.
