The modules accomplish the corresponding functions and interoperate with each other. 3.3.2 Communication Protocols and Interfaces
The communication interfaces on the equipment are mainly Qx interfaces. For the description of the protocol stacks and messages on the Qx interfaces, see ITU-T G.773, ITU-T Q.811, and ITU-T Q.812. 3.3.3 Board Software

3.3.4 NE Software The NE software manages, monitors, and controls the running of boards in the NE. In addition, the NE software serves as the service unit for the communication between the NMS and boards. In this manner, the NMS can control and manage the NE. 3.3.5 NMS Software Like other optical transmission equipment, the OptiX OSN 550 is managed by the iManager series NMS.
3.3.1 Overview of Software Architecture

The software system is of a modular structure. The modules accomplish the corresponding functions and interoperate with each other. The software modules fall into three types: the board software that runs on a variety of functional boards, the NE software that runs on the system control and communication board, and the network management software that runs on the network management computer. The software system is of layered design. That is, each layer performs specific functions and serves its upper layer. Figure 3-3 shows the general structure of software. All the modules except the network management system and the board software are NE software. Figure 3-3 General architecture of software

3.3.2 Communication Protocols and Interfaces

The communication interfaces on the equipment are mainly Qx interfaces. For the description of the protocol stacks and messages on the Qx interfaces, see ITU-T G.773, ITU-T Q.811, and ITU-T Q.812.
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
21
A Qx interface mainly connects a mediation device (MD), Q adaptation (QA), or network element (NE) with an operations system (OS) through the local communication network (LCN). A QA interface is provided at the NE management layer, and an MD and OS are provided at the network management layer. As specified in the Recommendation, a Qx interface is developed in compliance with the Connectionless Network LayerService (CLNS1) based on T CP/IP. A Qx interface supports the remote access of NMS through a modem, and the IP layer uses the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) accordingly.
3.3.3 Board Software

This section describes the software architecture of the OptiX OSN 550.
3.3.4 NE Software
The NE software manages, monitors, and controls the running of boards in the NE. In addition, the NE software serves as the service unit for the communication between the NMS and boards. In this manner, the NMS can control and manage the NE. In compliance with ITU-T M.3010, the NE software belongs to the element management layer in the telecommunications management network (TMN), and provides NE functions, some coordination functions, and operations system functions at the network element layer. The data communication function (DCF) provides communication functions between the NE and other components (including mediation devices, NMS, and other NEs). Real-time multi-task operating system The real-time multi-task operating system of the NE software is responsible for the management of public resources and supports applications. This system provides an application execution environment that is independent of the processor hardware, to separate applications from the processor. Communication and control module The Communication and control module is the interface module between the NE software and the board software. According to the corresponding communication protocol, the communication and control module achieves the communication between the NE software and the board software. In this manner, the information can be exchanged and the equipment can be maintained. On one hand, the communication and control module issues the maintenance operation commands of the NE software to the boards. On the other hand, it reports the status, alarms, and performance events of the boards to the NE software. Network side (NS) module The network side (NS) module is between the communication module and equipment management module. It converts the data format between the user operation side on the application layer and the NE equipment management layer, and provides security control for the NE layer. The NS module can be subdivided into three submodules in terms of function: Qx interface module, command line interface module, and security management module. Equipment management module The equipment management module (AM) is the kernel of the NE software. It implements NE management, and includes the Manager and the Agent. The Manager sends network management operation commands and receives event information. The Agent responds to the network management operation commands sent by the Manager, performs operations to managed objects, and reports events according to the status change of the managed objects. Communication module
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
22
This module fulfills the message communication function (MCF) of the functional blocks of the transmission network equipment. Through the hardware interface provided by the SCB board, the communication module transmits the OAM&P information and exchanges management information between the NMS and NEs, and between NEs themselves. The communication module consists of network communication module, serial communication module, and ECC communication module. Database management module The database management module is a principal component of the NE software. It consists of the data and the programs. The data, organized by database form, consists of the network database, alarm database, performance database, and equipment database. The program manages and accesses the data in the databases.
3.3.5 NMS Software

Like other optical transmission equipment, the OptiX OSN 550 is managed by the iManager series NMS. The NMS manages the optical transport network, and maintains all the OSN, SDH, Metro, and DWDM equipment on networks. The NMS, which complies with the ITU-T Recommendations, adopts a standard management information model and the object-oriented management technology. The NMS exchanges information with the NE software through the communication module to monitor and manage the network equipment. The NMS software runs on a workstation or PC. It manages the equipment and the transmission network. The NMS software provides the operation and maintenance function for the transmission equipment, and also provides the management capability for the transmission network. The NMS software has the following management functions: Alarm management: collects, prompts, filters, browses, acknowledges, checks, clears, counts alarms in real time, inserts alarms, analyzes alarm correlation, and diagnoses faults. Performance management: sets performance monitoring; browses, analyses and prints performance data; forecasts medium- and long-term performance; resets the performance register. Configuration management: configures and manages the ports, clocks, services, trails, subnets, and time. Security management: NM user management; NE user management; NE login management; NE login lockout; NE setting lockout; and local craft terminal (LCT) access control. Maintenance management: performs loopbacks; resets boards; automatically shuts down lasers; detects fiber power; collects equipment data. In this manner, the maintenance personnel can locate and rectify equipment faults more quickly.

4.2 Service Support

This section describes Ethernet services, CES services, and ATM/IMA services in the packet domain. 4.2.1 Native Ethernet Services Based on the packet plane, Native Ethernet services are classified into six types. 4.2.2 ETH PWE3 Services In the topology, the E-Line services are point-to-point services. The E-Line services realize the point-to-point transmission of Ethernet services.
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)

4.2.3
CES Services
CES: By using the PWE3 technology, PWE3 packet headers are added to TDM traffic to create circuit emulation services (CES). PWE3 packet headers carry the frame format information, alarm information, signaling information, and synchronization and timing information of the TDM traffic. The encapsulated PW packets are transmitted over the MPLS tunnel on the PSN. After being decapsulated at the PW egress, the TDM circuit switched service traffic is re-created. On a packet switching network, the transmit and receive ends of a CES service maintain clock synchronization by means of adaptive clock recovery (ACR). 4.2.4 ATM/IMA Services This section provides the definition of ATM PWE3 and describes its purpose.
4.2.1 Native Ethernet Services

Based on the packet plane, Native Ethernet services are classified into six types.
Point-to-Point Transparently Transmitted E-Line Service

The point-to-point transparently transmitted E-Line services are the basic E-Line model. Point-to-point transmission does not involve service bandwidth sharing, service isolation, or service distinguishing; instead, Ethernet services are transparently transmitted between two service access points.
Service Model
Table 4-2 describes the point-to-point transparently transmitted E-Line service model. Table 4-2 Point-to-point transparently transmitted E-Line service model Service Model Model 1 Encapsulation Type Null (source) Null (sink) Service Direction UNI-UNI Traffic Flow PORT (source) PORT (sink) PORT (source) PORT (sink) Description The source port transparently transmits all the received Ethernet frames to the sink port. The source port processes the incoming Ethernet frames based on its TAG attribute, and then sends the processed Ethernet frames to the sink port. The sink port processes the Ethernet frames based on its TAG attribute, and then exports the processed Ethernet frames.
Model 2
802.1Q (source) 802.1Q (sink)
UNI-UNI
In service model 2, ports process the received Ethernet frames according to their TAG attributes. Therefore, service model 2 is not a real transparent transmission model and is not recommended.
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
25
Typical Application
Figure 4-1 shows the typical application of service model 1. Figure 4-1 Typical application of service model 1
NE 1 Port 1 Service 1 Servic e 2 Port 2 E-Line E-Line Port 4 Port 3 Transmission Network Port 4 Port 3 NE 2 E-Line E-Line Port 2 Port 1 Service 1 Servic e 2
In service model 1, Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2, which carry no VLAN ID or carry unknown VLAN IDs, are accessed to NE1 through port 1 and port 2 respectively. Port 1 and port 2 transparently transmit Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2 to port 3 and port 4, respectively. Port 3 and port 4 then transmit Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2 to NE2. Service processing on NE2 is the same as on NE1. In service model 2, Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2, which carry no VLAN ID or carry unknown VLAN IDs, are accessed to NE1 through port 1 and port 2 respectively. Port 1 and Port 2 process the incoming packets based on their TAG attributes. Then, Port 1 and Port 2 send Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2 to Port 3 and Port 4 respectively. Port 3 and Port 4 process the incoming packets based on their TAG attributes. Then, Port 3 and Port 4 send Ethernet service 1 and Ethernet service 2 to NE2. Service processing on NE2 is the same as on NE1.
VLAN-based E-Line Services

VLANs can be used to separate E-Line services. With the VLAN technology, multiple E-Line services can share one physical channel. These services are VLAN-based E-Line services.
Models of Services
Table 4-3 shows the models of VLAN-based E-Line services. Table 4-3 Models of VLAN-based E-Line services Type of Service VLAN-based E-Line services Encapsulation Mode of Port 802.1Q (source) 802.1Q (sink) Direction of Flow of Service Description of Service Service UNI-UNI The source port processes the incoming Ethernet frames based on its TAG attribute, and then sends the Ethernet frames with a specific VLAN NOTE ID to the sink port.

PORT +VLAN (source) PORT +VLAN (sink)
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)

Typical Applications
Figure 4-2 shows the typical application of VLAN-based E-Line services. Service 1 and Service 2 carry different VLAN IDs. Therefore, after the two Ethernet services are accessed to NE1 through Port 1 and Port 2 respectively, they can share the same transmission channel at Port 3. On NE1, Port 1 and Port 2 process the incoming packets based on their own TAG attributes. Then, Port 1 and Port 2 send Service 1 and Service 2 to Port 3. Port 3 processes all the outgoing packets based on its TAG attribute, and then sends Service 1 and Service 2 to NE2. Due to the different VLAN IDs, Service 1 and Service 2 can be transmitted through Port 3 at the same time. NE2 processes Service 1 and Service 2 in the same manner as NE1.

QinQ-Based E-Line Services

S-VLAN tags can be used to isolate E-Line services. Therefore, multiple E-Line services can share one physical channel. These services are QinQ-based E-Line services.

E-LAN Services Based on the 802.1d Bridge

In the case of E-LAN services, packets can be forwarded only based on the MAC address table. These E-LAN services are E-LAN services based on the 802.1d bridge.

Figure 4-7 shows the typical application of the model of service. The transmission network needs to carry the A services accessed from NE2 and NE3. The two A services are converged at the convergence node NE1. The services need not to be isolated. Therefore, an 802.1d bridge is used at NE1 to groom services.

E-LAN Services Based on 802.1q Bridge

E-LAN services can be separated by setting VLANs. In this case, a bridge is divided into multiple sub-switching domains. Therefore, the E-LAN services separated by setting VLANs are E-LAN services based on 802.1q bridge.

Since G and H services have a same C-VLAN tag, you need to add different S-VLAN tags to G and H services for service isolation.

4.2.2 ETH PWE3 Services

In the topology, the E-Line services are point-to-point services. The E-Line services realize the point-to-point transmission of Ethernet services. Figure 4-10 shows the networking diagram of the E-Line services carried by PWs. The branches of Company A and Company B are located in City 1 and City 2, and need to communicate with each other. The services of Company A and Company B need to be isolated from each other. In this case, you can configure the E-Line services that are carried by PWs and from the user side to the network side, to realize the communication between the branches of Company A or Company B. In addition, different services are carried by different PWs, therefore realizing the isolation of the services of Company A from the services of Company B. The services that are accessed from the user side are encapsulated and transmitted to the PWs. Then, the services are transmitted through the tunnel.
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)

The E-Line services of different companies are carried by different PWs and then to the same port on the network side. In this manner, the port resources on the network side are saved and the bandwidth utilization is increased. In the uplink direction of the user side, layered QoS configuration can be performed for data packets. Figure 4-10 E-Line services carried by PWs

4.2.3 CES Services

CES: By using the PWE3 technology, PWE3 packet headers are added to TDM traffic to create circuit emulation services (CES). PWE3 packet headers carry the frame format information, alarm information, signaling information, and synchronization and timing information of the TDM traffic. The encapsulated PW packets are transmitted over the MPLS tunnel on the PSN. After being decapsulated at the PW egress, the TDM circuit switched service traffic is re-created. On a packet switching network, the transmit and receive ends of a CES service maintain clock synchronization by means of adaptive clock recovery (ACR).
Emulation Mode
The OptiX NG-SDH series equipment supports two types of CES services: structure-aware TDM circuit emulation service over packet switched network (CESoPSN) CES and structure-agnostic TDM over packet (SAToP) CES. In the case of CESoPSN CES: The equipment senses the frame format, frame alignment mode, and timeslot information in the TDM circuit. The equipment processes the overheads and extracts the payloads in TDM frames. Then, the equipment loads timeslots to the packet payload in a certain sequence. As a result, the services in each timeslot are fixed and visible in packets. In the case of SAToP CES: The equipment does not sense any format in the TDM signal. Instead, it considers TDM signals as bit flows at a constant rate, and therefore the entire bandwidth of TDM signals is emulated.
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)

The overheads and payloads in TDM signals are transparently transmitted.
Service Type
CES services are classified into UNI-UNI CES services and UNI-UNI CES services by service implementation point. UNI-UNI CES services As shown in Figure 4-11, a single OptiX OSN NE completes access of TDM services. Figure 4-11 UNI-UNI CES services

4.2.4 ATM/IMA Services

This section provides the definition of ATM PWE3 and describes its purpose.
Definition
The ATM PWE3 technology emulates the basic behaviors and characteristics of ATM services on a packet switched network (PSN) by using the PWE3 mechanism, so that the emulated ATM services can be transmitted on a PSN.
Purpose
Aided by the ATM PWE3 technology, conventional ATM networks can be connected by a PSN. Specifically, ATM PWE3 allows transmitting conventional ATM services over a PSN by emulating the ATM services. The networking type of ATM PWE3 can be one-to-one or N-to-one depending on the encapsulation type of ATM PWE3 packets. It is obvious that ATM PWE3 helps to transmit ATM services over the PSN, without adding ATM equipment or changing the configuration of the ATM CE equipment.

4.3.1 MPLS APS

This section provides the definition of MPLS APS and describes its purpose.
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
38
Definition
MPLS APS is a function that protects MPLS tunnels based on the APS protocol. With this function, when the working tunnel is faulty, the service can be switched to the preconfigured protection tunnel. The MPLS APS function supported by the OptiX OSN 550 has the following features: The MPLS APS provides end-to-end protection for tunnels. The working tunnel and protection tunnel have the same ingress and egress nodes. The protection tunnel in the MPLS APS protection pair does not carry extra traffic. In MPLS APS, the MPLS OAM mechanism is used to detect faults in tunnels, and the ingress and egress nodes exchange APS protocol packets to achieve protection switching.
Purpose
MPLS APS improves reliability for service transmission in tunnels. As shown in Figure 4-15, when the MPLS OAM mechanism detects a fault in the working tunnel, the service is switched to the protection tunnel for transmission.

Definition
PW APS is a function that protects PWs based on the APS protocol. With this function, when the working PW is faulty, the service can be switched to the preconfigured protection PW. The PW APS function supported by the OptiX OSN 550 has the following features: The PW APS function provides end-to-end protection for PWs. The working PW and protection PW are carried in different tunnels but have the same local and remote PEs. The protection PW in the PW APS protection pair does not carry extra traffic.

In PW APS, the PW OAM mechanism is used to detect faults in PWs, and the PEs exchange APS protocol packets to achieve protection switching.
Purpose
PW APS improves reliability for service transmission in PWs. As shown in Figure 4-16, when the PW OAM mechanism detects a fault in the working PW, the service is switched to the protection PW for transmission. Figure 4-16 Application example of PW APS

4.3.3 LPT
This section provides the definition of LPT and describes its purpose.
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
41
Definition
Link State Pass Through (LPT) detects a fault that occurs at a service access node or on a service network, and then instructs the equipment at both ends of a service network to immediately start a backup network for communication. LPT ensures proper transmission of important data. As shown in Figure 4-17, LPT-enabled NE1 and NE2 will disconnect their access links from router A and router B if access link 1, access link 2, or the service network becomes faulty. As a result, router A and router B will immediately detect the link fault between them, and switch to backup networks for communication. Figure 4-17 Typical application of LPT

Purpose
With the LPT function enabled, access equipment will immediately detect link faults and switch to backup networks timely.
4.3.4 LAG
Link aggregation allows multiple links that are attached to the same equipment to be aggregated together to form a LAG so that the bandwidth increases and the reliability of the links is improved. The aggregated links can be considered as a single logical link. A LAG aggregates multiple physical links to form a logical link that is at a higher rate to transmit data. Link aggregation functions between adjacent equipment. Therefore, link aggregation is not related to the architecture of the entire network. Link aggregation is also called port aggregation because links correspond to ports one to one on an Ethernet network. As shown in Figure 4-18, the LAG provides the following functions: Increased bandwidth A LAG provides users with a cost-effective method for increasing the link bandwidth. Users obtain data links with higher bandwidths by combining multiple physical links into one logical link without upgrading the existing equipment. The bandwidth of the logical
Issue 01 (2011-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 42
link is equal to the sum of the bandwidths of the physical links. The aggregation module distributes the traffic to different links by using the load sharing algorithm, therefore providing the load sharing function for links. Increased availability The links in a LAG dynamically back up each other. When a link fails, the other links in the LAG quickly take over. The process in which link aggregation starts the backup link is associated only with the links in the same LAG, and the links not in the LAG are not involved. Figure 4-18 Link aggregation group

4.4 Maintenance
This section describes the maintenance functions and features including MPLS OAM, ETH-OAM, ATM OAM, and RMON in the packet domain. 4.4.1 MPLS OAM The MPLS OAM mechanism supported by the equipment includes tunnel OAM and PW OAM. Tunnel OAM operates at the tunnel layer, and PW OAM operates at the PW layer. Tunnel OAM and PW OAM both provide the complete fault detection and locating mechanism. 4.4.2 ETH-OAM ETH-OAM enhances Ethernet Layer 2 maintenance functions and it strongly supports service continuity verification, service deployment commissioning, and network fault locating. 4.4.3 ATM OAM This section provides the definition of ATM OAM and describes its purpose. 4.4.4 RMON
By using the remote monitoring (RMON), you can transmit network monitoring data between different network sections. 4.4.5 PRBS Certain boards provide the PRBS functional module, which is used for testing and maintaining the network. You can determine whether the working path on a tributary port, in the line direction, or in the cross-connect direction is normal, depending on whether bit errors are detected in a PRBS test. 4.4.6 CES Alarm Transmission

4.4.1 MPLS OAM

The MPLS OAM mechanism supported by the equipment includes tunnel OAM and PW OAM. Tunnel OAM operates at the tunnel layer, and PW OAM operates at the PW layer. Tunnel OAM and PW OAM both provide the complete fault detection and locating mechanism.
Tunnel OAM
Description The tunnel OAM mechanism helps to effectively detect, identify, and locate internal defects at the tunnel layer of an MPLS network. The equipment triggers the protection switching based on the OAM detection status. Therefore, quick fault detection and service protection can be achieved. Objectives and benefits As a key bearer technology for the scalable next generation network (NGN), MPLS provides multi-service capabilities with ensured QoS. In addition, MPLS introduces a unique network layer (tunnel), which may cause some faults. Therefore, an MPLS network must have the OAM capability. By providing a tunnel OAM mechanism independent of any upper layer or lower layer, the tunnel OAM supports the following features: Provides query-on-demand and consecutive detections so that at any moment you can learn whether the monitored LSP has defects. Detects, analyzes, and locates any defect that occurs, and notifies the NMS of the relevant information. Triggers a protection switching immediately after a defect or fault occurs on a link. Monitors the performance events indicating packet loss ratio, delay, and jitter in real time and reports them to the NMS.
PW OAM
Description The PW OAM mechanism helps to effectively detect, identify, and locate internal defects at the PW layer of a network. The equipment triggers the protection switching based on the OAM detection status. Therefore, quick fault detection and service protection can be achieved. Objectives and benefits The equipment performs PW encapsulation on service packets, and then transmits the service packets over tunnels. The network consists of two layers: tunnel and PW. Tunnels use tunnel OAM for maintenance and management, and PWs use PW OAM for maintenance and management. Currently, the equipment can detect the connectivity of a certain PW through ping packets, and then reports the result to the NMS.

ETH-OAM enhances Ethernet Layer 2 maintenance functions and it strongly supports service continuity verification, service deployment commissioning, and network fault locating.

Definition
With the continuous development of the Ethernet, especially when LANs evolve to WANs, operators pay more attention to equipment maintainability. Solutions to operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) in the transmission network are required urgently. Therefore, ETH-OAM is developed. ITU-T and IEEE have researches on ETH-OAM. Currently, Huawei Ethernet service processing boards have realized the ETH-OAM function, which complies with IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah. Wherein, IEEE 802.1ag define Ethernet service OAM standards, and IEEE 802.3ah defines Ethernet port OAM standards. As shown in Figure 4-19, the combination of IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah provides a complete Ethernet OAM solution. Figure 4-19 Application of IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah

Ethernet service OAM focuses on the maintenance of end-to-end Ethernet links. Based on services, Ethernet service OAM implements end-to-end detection in the unit of "maintenance domain" and performs segmental management on each network segment that is involved in the same service on a network. Ethernet port OAM focuses on the maintenance of point-to-point Ethernet link between two directly-connected devices in Ethernet in the first mile (EFM). Ethernet port OAM does not focus on a specific service. It maintains the point-to-point Ethernet link by performing OAM auto-discovery, link performance monitoring, fault check, remote loopback, and selfloop check.
Purpose
Based on the MAC layer, the ETH-OAM protocol performs OAM operations for the Ethernet by transmitting OAM packets. This protocol is irrelevant to the transmission medium. The OAM packets are processed only at the MAC layer, having no impact on the other layers of the Ethernet. In addition, as a low-rate protocol, the ETH-OAM protocol occupies low bandwidths. Therefore, this protocol does not affect services carried on links. A comparison of ETH-OAM and existing OAM and fault locating methods is provided as follows:

When a loopback is performed at a port, all packets on the port are looped back. Therefore, the loopback method cannot be used if only a specific service needs to be looped back. ETH-OAM can detect hardware faults. ETH-OAM can detect and locate faults automatically.
4.4.3 ATM OAM

This section provides the definition of ATM OAM and describes its purpose.
Definition
ATM OAM is used for detecting and locating ATM faults, and monitoring ATM performance. In this document, ATM OAM refers to OAM only at the ATM layer and implements various OAM functions by means of specific ATM OAM cells.
Purpose
ATM OAM provides segment-based ATM OAM between the CE and the PE and end-to-end-based ATM OAM between CEs. As shown in Figure 4-20, ATM OAM cells are transmitted and detected between the CE and the PE, or between the CEs to monitor the ATM link. Figure 4-20 Typical application of ATM OAM

4.4.4 RMON
By using the remote monitoring (RMON), you can transmit network monitoring data between different network sections. Currently, the management of the Ethernet performance for transmission products is relevantly simple. In the case of the management of Ethernet ports, the management of the performance data of the ports is required. What's more, as the network is becoming complex, a method for managing network sections is required. Thus, the RMON emerges and the RMON should have the following features:
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
46
All statistics data is saved at the agent and the out-of-service operation on the manager is supported. History data is saved for the fault diagnosis. Errors are detected and reported. Detailed data is provided. Multiple management stations are supported. Based on the preceding purposes, the RMON defines a serial of statistic formats and functions to realize the data exchange between the control stations and detection stations that complies with the RMON standards. To meet the requirements of different networks, the RMON provides flexible detection modes and control mechanism. What's more, the RMON provides error diagnosis, planning and information receiving of the performance events of the entire network.
4.4.5 PRBS
Certain boards provide the PRBS functional module, which is used for testing and maintaining the network. You can determine whether the working path on a tributary port, in the line direction, or in the cross-connect direction is normal, depending on whether bit errors are detected in a PRBS test. In the case of E1 services, T1 services or T3 services, the PRBS15 is transmitted. The PRBS function of the board is available in two types: lower-order PRBS function and higher-order PRBS function. Currently, the OptiX OSN equipment supports only the lower-order PRBS function. In the case of the lower-order PRBS function, the PRBS module is integrated with the tributary board. An NE that provides the PRBS function can be used as a simple instrument. You can determine whether a service path is faulty and can determine the location of the fault on fibers or relevant boards between the faulty NEs, depending on the bit errors detected on the NE. The PRBS function module can analyze the local NE and the entire network. Therefore, you can perform a test without using a real instrument during the deployment or fault locating.
4.4.6 CES Alarm Transmission

The OptiX OSN 550 uses the L/M and R fields in the control word to transparently transmit alarms. CES alarm transparent transmission involves transmitting local CES alarms to the remote end, and inserting corresponding alarms to notify the remote end of faults in the local end. Depending on the position where the alarm is generated, CES alarm transparent transmission can be between AC sides, and from the NNI side to the AC side.
CES Alarm Transparent Transmission Between AC Sides

Figure 4-21 shows the CES alarm transparent transmission can be between AC sides.

The service alarms on the AC side are transparently transmitted through the PSN as follows: When receiving TDM signals carrying AIS/RAI alarms from AC1 side, PE1 uses the L or M field in the control word to respectively transmit AIS and RAI alarms to PE2. Then, PE2 inserts AIS/RAI alarms into AC2 based on the received L or M field.
The SAToP encapsulation mode does not support the M field, and therefore cannot transparently transmit the RAI alarm.
The fault information on the AC link or port is transmitted through the PSN as follows: When detecting an AC link fault or E1 port fault in AC1, PE1 uses the L or M field in the control word to transmit the fault information to PE2. Then, PE2 inserts alarms into AC2 based on the received L or M fields.
CES Alarm Transparent Transmission from the NNI Side to the AC Side

4.5 Synchronization
This section describes synchronization features including synchronous Ethernet clock, and CES ACR in the packet domain. 4.5.1 Synchronous Ethernet Clock
The synchronous Ethernet clock is a technology that extracts the clock from the serial bit stream on the Ethernet line, and transmits data through the extracted clock to realize the transfer of clocks. 4.5.2 CES ACR
This section provides the definition of CES ACR and describes its purpose.
4.5.1 Synchronous Ethernet Clock

The synchronous Ethernet clock is a technology that extracts the clock from the serial bit stream on the Ethernet line, and transmits data through the extracted clock to realize the transfer of clocks.
Definition
The synchronous Ethernet clock is a technology of frequency synchronization over the physical layer. The system directly extracts the clock signal from the serial bit stream on the Ethernet line, and transmits the data to each board by using the clock signal to realize the transfer of clock information.
Purpose
As the network is increasingly based on the Ethernet transfer technology, the large-scale network at the carrier-class level requires the synchronous Ethernet to transmit the clock and introduces the networkwide synchronous timing transmission idea of the SDH system to the Ethernet design. Therefore, the clock signal can be transmitted from the core to the edge by using the Ethernet physical layer, to provide ensured timing for various real-time services.
4.5.2 CES ACR

This section provides the definition of CES ACR and describes its purpose.
Definition
CES ACR is a function that uses the adaptive clock recovery (ACR) technology to recover clock synchronization information carried by CES packets. In the standard CES ACR solution, the source end (Master) considers the local clock as the timestamp in the Real-time Transport Protocol (R TP) packet header and encapsulates it in the CES packet; the sink end (Slave) recovers the clock according to the timestamp in the packet. In this manner, signal impairment during the transmission is prevented. The OptiX OSN 550 adopts the enhanced timestamp clock solution. That is, clocks can be recovered based on SN in CES packets rather than timestamps in R packet headers. See TP Figure 4-23.

5.3 Protection Support

This section describes the protection schemes including SNCP and linear MSP in the TDM domain. 5.3.1 SNCP
The SNCP scheme, which requires one working subnet and one protection subnet, is to select one service from the dually transmitted services. 5.3.2 Ring MSP
Ring MSP uses the multiplex section overhead (MSOH) bytes K1 and K2 to implement automatic protection switching of services. 5.3.3 Linear MSP The linear MSP uses the K1 and K2 bytes in the multiplex section overhead to realize automatic protection switching. The OptiX OSN equipment supports 1+1 and 1:N linear MSP.
5.3.1 SNCP
The SNCP scheme, which requires one working subnet and one protection subnet, is to select one service from the dually transmitted services. The SNCP scheme, which requires one working subnet and one protection subnet, is to select one service from the dually transmitted services. If the working subnet fails to be connected or if its performance fails to meet certain requirements, the connection of the protection subnet takes over. Figure 5-1 shows the application of the SNCP.

5.3.2 Ring MSP

Ring MSP uses the multiplex section overhead (MSOH) bytes K1 and K2 to implement automatic protection switching of services.
Two-Fiber Unidirectional Ring MSP

On a two-fiber unidirectional ring MSP, one of the bidirectional STM-N lines is the working line, and the other is the protection line. As shown in Figure 5-2, the services on the two-fiber unidirectional ring MSP are on diverse routes. Before the protection switching, the signal flow of the services from NE A to NE C is NE ANE BNE C, and the signal flow of the services from NE C to NE A is NE CNE DNE A. In normal cases, services are transmitted on the working line. When a fiber cut occurs and the working line becomes unavailable, the services on the two ends of the faulty point are both switched from the working line of the faulty fiber to the protection line of the reverse directional fiber for transmission. Figure 5-2 shows the application of the two-fiber unidirectional ring MSP. After the protection switching, the signal flow of the services from NE A to NE C is NE ANE DNE CNE BNE C, and the signal flow of the services from NE C to NE A continues to be NE CNE DNE A.

Two-Fiber Bidirectional Ring MSP

On a two-fiber bidirectional ring MSP, the first half of VC-4s on each ST M-N line is allocated to the working channel, and the other half of VC-4s is allocated to the protection channel. As shown in Figure 5-3, the services on the two-fiber bidirectional ring MSP are on uniform routes. Before the protection switching, the signal flow of the services from NE A to NE C is NE ANE BNE C, and the signal flow of the services from NE C to NE A is NE CNE BNE A. In normal cases, services are transmitted on the working channel. The services transmitted on two fibers flow in inverse directions. When a fiber cut occurs and the working channel becomes unavailable, the services on the two ends of the faulty point are both switched from
the working channel of the faulty fiber to the protection channel of the reverse directional fiber for transmission. Figure 5-3 shows the application of the two-fiber bidirectional ring MSP. After the protection switching, the signal flow of the services from NE A to NE C is NE ANE DNE CNE BNE C, and the signal flow of the services from NE C to NE A is NE CNE BNE CNE DNE A.

5.3.3 Linear MSP

The linear MSP uses the K1 and K2 bytes in the multiplex section overhead to realize automatic protection switching. The OptiX OSN equipment supports 1+1 and 1:N linear MSP.
1+1 Linear MSP

The 1+1 linear MSP requires one working channel and one protection channel. At the source node, the service is dually fed to the working channel and protection channel. At the sink node, the service is received from the working channel. When the working channel becomes faulty,
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)

No extra traffic can be configured in the protection channel in a 1+1 linear MSP group.
1:N linear MSP

The 1:N linear MSP requires N working channels and one protection channel. Common services are transmitted on the working channels, and extra traffic is transmitted on the protection channel. When a working channel becomes faulty, the service on the channel is switched to the protection channel. Therefore, the extra traffic is interrupted. Figure 5-5 shows the application of the 1:N linear MSP.

Purpose
The LMSP scheme uses the MSOH bytes K1 and K2 to implement automatic protection switching once the working path fails, and therefore to protect services.
5.4 Maintenance
Certain boards provide the PRBS functional module, which is used for testing and maintaining the network. You can determine whether the working path on a tributary port, in the line direction, or in the cross-connect direction is normal, depending on whether bit errors are detected in a PRBS test. In the case of E1 services, T1 services or T3 services, the PRBS15 is transmitted. The PRBS function of the board is available in two types: lower-order PRBS function and higher-order PRBS function. Currently, the OptiX OSN equipment supports only the lower-order PRBS function. In the case of the lower-order PRBS function, the PRBS module is integrated with the tributary board. An NE that provides the PRBS function can be used as a simple instrument. You can determine whether a service path is faulty and can determine the location of the fault on fibers or relevant boards between the faulty NEs, depending on the bit errors detected on the NE. The PRBS function module can analyze the local NE and the entire network. Therefore, you can perform a test without using a real instrument during the deployment or fault locating.

5.5 Synchronization
Clock synchronization on the entire network helps to transmit services normally.
Definition
Clock: The electronic circuit in a computer that generates a steady stream of timing pulses.
Purpose
Clock synchronization ensures that all the digital devices on a communications network work at the same nominal frequency, and therefore minimizes the impacts of slips, burst bit errors, phase jumps, jitters, and wanders on digital communications systems. Clock synchronization also minimizes pointer justifications on SDH devices. Therefore, clock synchronization is the precondition and basis for the normal operation of a network.

7 Security Management
Security Management
7.1 Authentication Management

For security concerns, only an authenticated user can log in to an NE. NE login management: You can successfully log in to an NE only after entering the correct user name and password. NE user switching: One client allows only one user to operate the NE at a time. For this reason, if multiple NE users log in to an NE, the NE users need to be switched to ensure that the configuration data is unique. Forcibly logging other users out of the NE: To avoid errors owing to simultaneous configuration by multiple users, or to prevent other users from illegally logging in to the NE, one user can forcibly log a lower-level user out from the NE. NE login locking: After the locking function is enabled, a user whose level is lower than that of the current user is not allowed to log in to the NE. NE configuration locking: You can lock the function of configuring certain functional modules on an NE to prevent other users from configuring the modules. You can query users that are logged in to the NE.
7.2 Authorization Management

The authorization management allows different authorities for different users when they operate an NE. This effectively protects the NE against inappropriate operations. Management of NE users Five user authority levels are available in an ascending order: monitoring level, operation level, maintenance level, system level, and debugging level. Based on the network management system, NE users are classified into LCT NE users, EMS NE users, CMD NE users, and general NE users. You can create a user, assign an authority level for the user, and specify the user flag. You can change a user name, a password, an authority level, and a user flag. You can delete a user. Management of NE user groups:
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
65
By default, five user groups are available with authorities in an ascending order: monitor group, operator group, maintenance personnel group, administrator group, and super administrator group. You can change the group to which a user belongs.
7.3 Network Security Management

The security of transmitting data between the NMS and NEs, and in the network, is the precondition for the NMS to manage the NEs. Communication between the NMS and NEs can be implemented based on Access Control List (ACL), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), or Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) protocol.
ACL Protocol
The ACL rules are configured to filter the received IP packets. This controls the data traffic on the network and protects against malicious attacks. You can set basic ACL rules or advanced ACL rules, based on the required system security level. For an NE that requires a low security level, you can configure the basic ACL rules so that the NE checks only the source addresses of received IP packets. For an NE that requires a high security level, you can configure the advanced ACL rules. In this case, the NE checks the source addresses, sink addresses, source ports, sink ports, and protocol types of the received IP packets. If both the advanced and basic ACL rules are configured, the NE uses only the advanced ACL rules to check the received IP packets. In addition, the ACL rules support the following operations: Queries of the ACL rules Modification of the ACL rules Deletion of the ACL rules
SSL Protocol
The SSL protocol is used to protect the integrity and security of data.
RADIUS Protocol
RADIUS provides a complete network security solution. After the RADIUS server verifies that the user name and password of a user are valid, the server allows a certain authority for the user, and provides services to the user. The RADIUS server of the carrier manages all the user accounts and user attributes of the OptiX OSN 550. To log in to the OptiX OSN 550, you must apply for a user account to the carrier. When you try to log in to the OptiX OSN 550, the RADIUS server verifies the user name and password that you have entered. If the verification fails, a login error is reported. The OptiX OSN 550 supports the shielding function when being connected to the network port management device. That is, when being connected to the network port on an OptiX
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
66
OSN 550, the network port management device manages only the connected OptiX OSN 550, and cannot access the other devices that are connected to the OptiX OSN 550 through the ECCs. With this function, even if an OptiX OSN 550 NE in the insecure domain is accessed illegally, the NEs that are connected to the OptiX OSN 550 will not be illegally operated.
7.4 System Security Management

The system provides necessary security policies that are executed forcibly. Querying and setting the Warning Screen information of an NE Querying and setting the Warning Screen switch of an NE to determine whether to report an alarm after a user logs in to the NE Querying and setting the earliest expire time and the latest expire time of a password Checking whether a password is unique on an NE
7.5 Log Management

Log management involves system security log management and Syslog management.
System Security Log Management

The system security log of an NE records all operations and operation results on the NE. By querying the system security log, the administrator can trace and check operations of users. You can query the system security log of an NE. You can forward the system security log to the Syslog server.
Syslog Management
The Syslog service is used for the security management of NEs. Different information is transmitted to the Syslog server in a format compliant with the Syslog protocol so that the maintenance personnel can monitor NEs easily. The OptiX OSN 550 supports the following functions related to the Syslog protocol: Enabling and disabling the Syslog protocol. Setting the transmission mode of the Syslog protocol to UDP (by default) or T CP. Adding or deleting Syslog servers. Configuration of multiple Syslog servers and transmission of logs to multiple servers at the same time. Reporting relevant alarms when the Syslog server fails to communicate with NEs. Figure 7-1 illustrates the log transmission of the the Syslog protocol on a network. To ensure the security of system logs, at least two Syslog servers are required on a transmission network. NEs communicate with Syslog servers by running the IP protocol. NEs communicates with each other in many modes, such as ECC and IP over DCC.

A Syslog server is a work station or server that stores the system logs of all NEs on a network. Forwarding gateway NEs receive system logs from other NEs, and then forward these system logs to Syslog servers. For example, NE A and NE C in Figure 7-1.
When NEs communicate in IP mode, each NE can directly communicate with two different Syslog servers by running the IP protocol. Hence, you need to configure the IP addresses and port numbers of the Syslog servers on an NE. The NE transmits the system log to two Syslog servers by using the automatic routing function of the IP protocol. You need not configure any forwarding gateway NE. When NEs communicate in ECC mode, the NEs that are not directly connected to Syslog servers cannot communicate with Syslog servers. The logs of these NEs need to be transmitted to the gateway NEs that can communicate with Syslog servers directly. Then, the gateway NEs forward the logs to Syslog servers. Therefore, you need to configure forwarding gateway NEs. For example, you can configure NE A as the forwarding NE of NE D.

8.1 DCN
Item Purpose and Benefit
Operation and Maintenance
Reliable network management ensures proper running of a network, and therefore transmission of network management data becomes very critical. The data communication network (DCN) is a network management data communication channel, with which users can remotely manage and maintain NEs. Table 8-1 lists the DCN solutions that the OptiX OSN 550 supports. Table 8-1 DCN solutions that the OptiX OSN 550 supports Inband DCN NM information is transmitted on the service channels provided by managed equipment. Therefore, no other equipment and DCN are required. This reduces operating cost. Flexible networking: NM information is encapsulated into Ethernet frames and carries a fixed VLAN ID to get separated from the service data. The NM information is transmitted with services on service channels. Configurable VLAN priorities for inband DCN packets Outband DCN NM information is transmitted on non-service channels. High reliability: Outband DCN uses dedicated maintenance channels. Therefore, the NMC can construct a DCN network with managed equipment in various ways, such as E1 private lines and Ethernet; in addition, you can obtain NM information in time even when faults occur on service channels.

8.2 Equipment Maintenance

To ensure the proper running of a network, routine maintenance and troubleshooting for equipment are a must. The OptiX OSN 550 is of strong maintainability. Table 8-2 lists the maintenance functions that the OptiX OSN 550 supports. Table 8-2 Maintenance functions that the OptiX OSN 550 supports Applicati Function on Scenario Routine maintenan ce Alarm and performance management Description

Applicati Function on Scenario Remote maintenance PRBS
Description
If the equipment becomes faulty, the maintenance personnel can use a public telephone network to remotely maintain the OptiX OSN 550 systems. An NE enabled with the PRBS function can be used as a simple instrument that transmits and receives unframed services in order to analyze whether service paths are faulty. An NE enabled with the PRBS function can be used to analyze itself or the entire network. The PRBS function is a substitute for a test instrument during a deployment or fault localization. The system control, switching, and timing boards and service boards support warm and cold resets. Warm resets do not affect services. The system control, switching, and timing boards, service boards, fan boards, and power supply boards support hot swap. Pluggable optical modules can be hot-swapped. Service cables and auxiliary cables can be hot-swapped.
Warm/Cold resets Hot swap
8.3 Upgrade Methods

If the current version of the OptiX OSN 550 cannot meet customer requirements, upgrade the equipment to a higher version. The available upgrade methods are package loading, package diffusion, and hot patch loading. Table 8-3 lists the upgrade methods available for the OptiX OSN 550.
Issue 01 (2011-06-30)
72
Table 8-3 Upgrade methods available for the OptiX OSN 550 Upgrade Method Definition Package Loading With a software package description file, the software package functions as a logical package of the required software. This logical package can be uploaded to upgrade the entire NE. Package Diffusion With a software package description file, the software package functions as a logical package of the required software. The logical package is diffused and almost synchronously loaded to all NEs on a network. This upgrade method is more efficient. More than one NE needs to be upgraded. The system control board and other boards must support package loading. There is a CF card on the system control board. All the boards on an NE can be upgraded on a unified GUI. There is no need to care about which board to upgrade or which files to update. The software package is diffused. Network load and network bandwidth are both shared. Versions of V100R003C00 and later support this upgrade method. Hot Patch Loading During hot patch loading, new software codes substitute for running software codes, which do not interrupt services but rectify a software defect or implement a new requirement. These new software codes are codes in a hot patch. Services are not interrupted during the upgrade.
Application Scenario
One NE needs to be upgraded. The system control board and other boards must support package loading. There is a CF card on the system control board. All the boards on an NE can be upgraded on a unified GUI. There is no need to care about which board to upgrade or which files to update.
Characteristic
Services are not interrupted during the upgrade. Hot patches decrease the number of product versions, therefore avoiding frequent version upgrades. Hot patches can be loaded remotely. Version rollback is supported after a hot patch is loaded, reducing upgrade risks. Versions of V100R005C01 and later support this upgrade method.
Applicable Version
Versions of V100R003C00 and later support this upgrade method.

Alarm inversion
For the port that has already been configured but has no service, this function can be used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference. The alarm report condition of the NE port is related to the alarm inverse mode (not inverse, automatic recovery and manual recovery) setting of the NE and the alarm inversion status (Enable and Disable) setting of the port. When the alarm inversion mode of NE is set to no inversion, alarms of the port will be reported as usual no matter whatever the inversion status of the port is. When the alarm inversion mode of the NE is set to automatic recovery, and the alarm inversion state of the port is set to Enabled, then the alarm of the port will be suppressed. The alarm inversion status of the port will automatically recover to "not inverse" after the alarm ends. For the port that has already been configured but not actually loaded with services, this function can be used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference. When the alarm inverse mode of the NE is set as "not automatic recovery", if the alarm inversion status of the port is set as Enable, the alarm of the port will be reported.

bound path BPDU BPS bridge
A parallel path with several serial paths bundled together. It improves the data throughput capacity. See Bridge Protocol Data Unit Board Protection Switching A device that connects two or more networks and forwards packets among them. Bridges operate at the physical network level. Bridges differs from repeaters because bridges store and forward complete packets, while repeaters forward all electrical signals. Bridges differ from routers because bridges use physical addresses, while routers use IP addresses. The data messages that are exchanged across the switches within an extended LAN that uses a spanning tree protocol (STP) topology. BPDU packets contain information on ports, addresses, priorities and costs and ensure that the data ends up where it was intended to go. BPDU messages are exchanged across bridges to detect loops in a network topology. The loops are then removed by shutting down selected bridges interfaces and placing redundant switch ports in a backup, or blocked, state.

Committed Information Rate A combination of two transmission channels permitting transmission in both directions between two points. A function with which the E1/T1 data can be transmitted through ATM networks. At the transmission end, the interface module packs timeslot data into ATM cells. These ATM cells are sent to the reception end through the ATM network. At the reception end, the interface module re-assigns the data in these ATM cells to E1/T1 timeslots. The CES technology guarantees that the data in E1/T1 timeslots can be recovered to the original sequence at the reception end. Common and Internal Spanning Tree CoS is a rule for queuing.

Current Pe rformance Data
Performance data stored currently in a register. An NE provides two types of registers, namely, 15-minute register and 24-hour register, to store performance parameters of a performance monitoring entity. The two types of registers stores performance data only in the specified monitoring period. A procedure used in checking for errors in data transmission. CRC error checking uses a complex calculation to generate a number based on the data transmitted. The sending device performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in the packet that it sends to the receiving device. The receiving device repeats the same calculation after transmission. If both devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the transmission was error free. The procedure is known as a redundancy check because each transmission includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values.

De vice se t
A collection of multiple managed devices. By dividing managed devices into different device sets, users can manage the devices by using the U2000 in an easier way. If an operation authority over one device set is assigned to a user (user group), the authority over all the devices in the device set is assigned to the user (user group), thus making it unnecessary to set the operation authority over all the devices in a device set separately. It is recommended to configure device set by geographical region, network level, device type, or another criterion. A marker in the header of each IP packet that prompts network routers to apply differentiated grades of service to various packet streams. It is specified by the DiffServ policy proposed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). This allows Internet and other IP-based network service providers to offer different levels of service to customers. A service architecture that provides the end-to-end QoS function. It consists of a series of functional units implemented at the network nodes, including a small group of per-hop forwarding behaviors, packet classification functions, and traffic conditioning functions such as metering, marking, shaping and policing.

A class-based forwarding technology that classifies the packets with the same forwarding mode. Packets with the same FEC are processed similarly on an MPLS network. The division of FECs is flexible, and can be a combination of the source address, destination address, source port, destination port, protocol type, and VPN. Field Programmable Gate Array A frame, starting with a header, is a string of bytes with a specified length. Frame length is represented by the sampling circle or the total number of bytes sampled during a circle. A header comprises one or a number of bytes with pre-specified values. In other words, a header is a code segment that reflects the distribution (diagram) of the elements pre-specified by the sending and receiving parties. A measurement of the variations in the frame delay between a pair of service frames, where the service frames belong to the same CoS instance on a point to point ETH connection. A ratio, is expressed as a percentage, of the number of service frames not delivered divided by the total number of service frames during time interval T, where the number of service frames not delivered is the difference between the number of service frames arriving at the ingress ETH flow point and the number of service frames delivered at the egress ETH flow point in a point-to-point ETH connection. An operating condition of a clock, the output signal of which is strongly influenced by the oscillating element and not controlled by servo phase-locking techniques. In this mode the clock has never had a network reference input, or the clock has lost external reference and has no access to stored data, that could be acquired from a previously connected external reference. Free-run begins when the clock output no longer reflects the influence of a connected external reference, or transition from it. Free-run terminates when the clock output has achieved lock to an external reference. A diversity scheme in which two or more microwave frequencies with a certain frequency interval are used to transmit/receive the same signal and selection is then performed between the two signals to ease the impact of fading. File Transfer Protocol A full-duplex, or sometimes double-duplex system, allows communication in both directions, and, unlike half-duplex, allows this to happen simultaneously. Land-line telephone networks are full-duplex, since they allow both callers to speak and be heard at the same time. A good analogy for a full-duplex system would be a two-lane road with one lane for each direction.

Gateway IP
When an NE accesses a remote network management system or NE, a router can be used to enable the TCP/IP communication. In this case, the IP address of the router is the gateway IP. Only the gateway NE requires the IP address. The IP address itself cannot identify the uniqueness of an NE. The same IP addresses may exist in different TCP/IP networks. An NE may have multiple IP addresses, for example, one IP address of the network and one IP address of the Ethernet port. A network element that is used for communication between the NE application layer and the NM application layer.

Inte rnet Group Management Protocol Inverse Multiplexing over ATM IP IP address
One of the TCP/IP protocols for managing the membership of Internet Protocol multicast groups. It is used by IP hosts and adjacent multicast routers to establish and maintain multicast group memberships. A technique that involves inverse multiplexing and de-multiplexing of ATM cells in a cyclical fashion among links grouped to form a higher bandwidth logical link whose rate is approximately the sum of the link rates. Internet Protocol A 32-bit (4-byte) binary digit that uniquely identifies a host (computer) connected to the Internet for communication with other hosts in the Internet by transferring packets. An IP address is expressed in dotted decimal notation, consisting of decimal values of its 4 bytes, separated by periods (,), for example, 127.0.0.1. The first three bytes of an IP address identify the network to which the host is connected, and the last byte identifies the host itself.

In the topology view, a link is used to identify the physical or logical connection between two topological nodes. A link is used to connect signaling points (SPs) and signaling transfer points (STPs) and transmit signaling messages. A method of bundling a group of physical interfaces together as a logical interface to increase bandwidth and reliability. For related protocols and standards, refer to IEEE 802.3ad. An aggregation that allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a link aggregation group so that a MAC client can treat the link aggregation group as if it were a single link. LCAS in the virtual concatenation source and sink adaptation functions provides a control mechanism to hitless increase or decrease the capacity of a link to meet the bandwidth needs of the application. It also provides a means of removing member links that have experienced failure. The LCAS assumes that in cases of capacity initiation, increases or decreases, the construction or destruction of the end-to-end path is the responsibility of the network and element management systems.

Multiprotocol Label Switching
A technology that uses short tags of fixed length to encapsulate packets in different link layers, and provides connection-oriented switching for the network layer on the basis of IP routing and control protocols. It improves the cost performance and expandability of networks, and is beneficial to routing. A platform based on the SDH platform, capable of accessing, processing and transmitting TDM services, ATM services, and Ethernet services, and providing unified management of these services. A process of transmitting data packets from one source to many destinations. The destination address of the multicast packet uses Class D address, that is, the IP address ranges from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Each multicast address represents a multicast group rather than a host. A protocol that can be used in a loop network. Using an algorithm, the MSTP blocks redundant paths so that the loop network can be trimmed as a tree network. In this case, the proliferation and endless cycling of packets is avoided in the loop network. The protocol that introduces the mapping between VLANs and multiple spanning trees. This solves the problem that data cannot be normally forwarded in a VLAN because in STP/RSTP, only one spanning tree corresponds to all the VLANs.

S1 byte A byte to transmit network synchronization status information. On an SDH network, each NE traces hop by hop to the same clock reference source through a specific clock synchronization path, realizing synchronization on the entire network. If a clock reference source traced by an NE is missing, this NE will trace another clock reference source of a lower level. To implement protection switching of clocks in the whole network, the NE must learn about clock quality information of the clock reference source it traces. Therefore, ITU-T defines S1 byte to transmit network synchronization status information. It uses the lower four bits of the multiplex section overhead S1 byte to indicate 16 types of synchronization quality grades. Auto protection switching of clocks in a synchronous network can be implemented using S1 byte and a proper switching protocol.

SNCTP provides a VC-4 level channel protection. When the working channel is faulty, the services of the entire VC-4 path can be switched over to the protection channel. A part used to support and fix a cabinet on the antistatic floor. It is made of welded steel plates and is used to block up the cabinets to facilitate floor layout and cabling. Before the whole set of equipment is grounded, insulation plates must be installed under the supports, and insulating coverings must be added to the expansion bolts to achieve good insulation performance. An attribute set to determine whether an NE monitors the alarm. Under suppression status, NE will not monitor the corresponding alarm conditions and the alarm will not occur even when the alarm conditions are met. Switching Virtual Connection A priority of a board that is defined for protection switching. When several protected boards need to be switched, a switching priority should be set for each board. If the switching priorities of the boards are the same, services on the board that fails later cannot be switched. Services on the board with higher priority can preempt the switching resources of that with lower priority. It refers to the period of time between the start of detecting and the moment when the line is switched back to the original status after protection switching occurs in the MSP sub-network. A message that carries quality levels of timing signals on a synchronous timing link. Nodes on an SDH network and a synchronization network acquire upstream clock information through this message. Then the nodes can perform proper operations on their clocks, such as tracing, switching, or converting to holdoff, and forward the synchronization information to downstream nodes. A transmission scheme that follows ITU-T G.707, G.708, and G.709. It defines the transmission features of digital signals such as frame structure, multiplexing mode, transmission rate level, and interface code. SDH is an important part of ISDN and B-ISDN. It interleaves the bytes of low-speed signals to multiplex the signals to high-speed counterparts, and the line coding of scrambling is used only for signals. SDH is suitable for the fiber communication system with high speed and a large capacity since it uses synchronous multiplexing and flexible mapping structure. A clock providing timing services to connected network elements. This would include clocks conforming to Recommendations G.811, G.812 and G.813.

Tandem Connection Monitor TCM TCP/IP TDM TIM Timeslot Time Synchronization TM TMN ToS TPS Trail management function In the SDH transport hierarchy, the TCM is located between the AU/TU management layer and HP/LP layer. It uses the N1/N2 byte of POH overhead to monitor the quality of the transport channels on a transmission section (TCM section). See T andem Connection Monitor See T ransmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Time Division Multiplexing Trace Identifier Mismatch Continuously repeating interval of time or a time period in which two devices are able to interconnect. Also called the moment synchronization, time synchronization means that the synchronization of the absolute time, which requires that the starting time of the signals keeps consistent with the UTC time. Terminal Multiplexer Telecommunications Management Network See Type of Service See T ributary Protection Switch A network level management function of the network management system. This function enables you to configure end-to-end services, view graphic interface and visual routes of a trail, query detailed information of a trail, filter, search and locate a trail quickly, manage and maintain trails in a centralized manner, manage alarms and performance data by trail, and print a trail report. A transmitter and receiver housed together in a single unit and having some circuits in common, often for portable or mobile use. Common name for the suite of protocols developed to support the construction of worldwide internetworks.
Transceive r Transmission Control Protocol/Inte rnet Protocol transparent transmission Tray Tributary loopback Tributary Protection Switch
A process during which the signaling protocol or data is not processed in the content but encapsulated in the format for the processing of the next phase. A component that can be installed in the cabinet for holding chassis or other devices. A fault can be located for each service path by performing loopback to each path of the tributary board. There are three kinds of loopback modes: no loopback, outloop, and inloop. A function that uses a standby tributary processing board to protect N tributary processing boards.

Tributary unit
An information structure which provides adaptation between the lower order path layer and the higher order path layer. It consists of an information payload (the lower order VC) and a TU pointer which indicates the offset of the payload frame start relative to the higher order VC frame start. One or more Tributary Units, occupying fixed, defined positions in a higher order VC-n payload is termed a Tributary Unit Group (TUG). TUGs are defined in such a way that mixed capacity payloads made up of different size Tributary Units can be constructed to increase flexibility of the transport network. Time To Live Tributary Unit See T ributary Unit Group A channel on the packet switching network that transmits service traffic between PEs. In VPN, a tunnel is an information transmission channel between two entities. The tunnel ensures secure and transparent transmission of VPN information. In most cases, a tunnel is an MPLS tunnel. A field in an IP packet (IP datagram) used for quality of service (QoS). The TOS field has 8 bits in length, which is divided into five subfields.
