Overview
T
he ME60 Multi-Service Control Gateway (MSCG) series products are characterized as the
best BRAS in industry. The first MSCG was deployed in 2002, and 23,600 sets have been
deployed. The sophisticated ME60 series include 3 models for sale now: ME60-X3, ME60-X8
and ME60-X16, which have 3, 8 and 16 I/O slots respectively.
Huawei ME60 has been recognized for large capacity & huge concurrent subscribers,
outstanding reliability making nonstop services, and full services bearing solution.

Outstanding Reliability, Making Nonstop Services
Normally:
Master and slave BRAS build BRAS Pool
Slave BRAS SYN master BRAS subscriber session timely.
N:1/N+1
When Failure Happens:
Slave BRAS becomes Master BRAS
New Master BRAS take over all the subscriber traffc within 200ms
All the service is Non Stop
Huawei BRAS Pool meets BBC iPlayer like video high QOE commitment
Large Capaacity and Huge Concurrent Subscribers
400G hardware platform & 1st 40G BRAS.
The ME60-X series chassis is designed on the 400G hardware platform and 10G/20G/40G flexible plug-in cards
which provide the most fexibility to meet different requirements and reduce OPEX. And based on the self-developed
chipset and abundant experiences in BRAS area, the 1st 40G BRAS in industry was released. Persistent and long term
investment guarantee continuous evolution solution in ultra bandwidth era.
Largest concurrent subscribers.
256K subscribers per chassis and 32K subscribers per LPU can be managed in a ME60, the operation and management
are simplifed. Meanwhile, Users can access the network through Ethernet, xDSL, WiMAX or PON. In addition, granular
management is kept, and ME60 can provide multi-dimensionality management for subscribers, for example, security
control, accounting, subscriber and services identifcations, etc.

Unique BRAS Pool: full services hot backup among chassis, 200ms switchover.
By VRRP+, RBSP(Remote Backup Service Protocol), BFD for link, BFD for VRRP, bypass TE tunnel and so on, ME60
supports full services hot backup among chassis in 200ms switchover. It guarantees terminal users excellent online
experience and operator steadily growing revenue.
Fast subscribers dial-in speed.
The ME60 can access more than 500 subscribers per BSU and more than 1000 subscribers per chassis per
second. It is very important for BRAS to recover services. Take a BRAS with 100,000 subscribers for example, all
subscribers can dial-in in 100 seconds.
Full Service Bearing Solution
Elaborate operation capability.
The ME60 is the creator and leader of Multi-Service Control Gateway in industry. With the elaborate operation ability,
it can provide total full service bearing solution, making singlemetro and multi-play come true. Meanwhile, with the
RACS (resource and admission control system), the ME60 can provide elaborate operation solution to provision Video
on demand, QoS on demand, Dynamic Service selection, and so on.
The most complete H-QoS solution, including H-QoS, DS-TE and MPLS HQoS, ensuring
E2E QoS deployment.
Complying with the QoS scheduling model defined in DSL TR-059, the ME60 provides QoS scheduling by using a
traffic management (TM) chip. The ME60 can:
Provide 5-level QoS scheduling capability.
Support the QoS of the access network, thus avoiding network congestion.
Provide QoS scheduling for each terminal and session.
The policy is separated from behavior, so the QoS is configured flexibly and deployed conveniently. Moreover,
the TM is separated from the packet forwarding engine (PFE), so the QoS processing does not decrease the
forwarding speed.The ME60 provides QoS scheduling for the IP and MPLS networks. To meet the QoS demands
of IPTV and Metro Ethernet, the ME60 performs traffic classification and congestion management on multicast
flows and layer 2 information. Thus the quality of new services can be ensured.
FCC and RET solution improve customers experience.
i VSE i s short for i ntegrated Vi deo Val ue-added Servi ce Enhancement; Fast Channel Change (FCC) and
Retransmission (RET) are two function sub-modules of the iVSE module.
FCC is used to address the problem of slow switching between IPTV channels.
RET is used to address the problem of packet loss. Packet loss in IPTV services may cause problems such as
erratic display or even dark screens.
