ALCATEL-LUCENT

7750 SERVICE ROUTER

MOBILE GATEWAY
RELEASE 6.0
The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router (SR) as a mobile gateway (MG) is a service-aware
platform optimized to deliver the next generation of mobile broadband services with excep-
tional performance and scalability. With inherent multi-function capabilities that complement
its comprehensive 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) mobile gateway feature set, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR dramatically simplifes operations and provides a smooth path to grow
and evolve the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) network.
OVERVIEW
The 7750 SR is the industry-leading IP/PLMS
service edge router. It has been designed
from inception to concurrently deliver
multiple services to massive numbers of
subscribers. With its FP network processing
silicon, the 7750 SRs internal architecture
is uniquely optimized for the rigorous
demands of LTE by providing independent
and concurrent packet processing in
three dimensions: control (instructions),
data (high-touch packet processing) and
advanced data processing (L4-L7 packet
inspection and analysis). This processing
capability allows very high volumes
of concurrent multimedia services (for
example, VoLTE, video or gaming), each
with its own unique processing demands,
to be delivered without compromise. The
7750 SR runs the industry-leading SR OS
and has end-to-end service-aware manage-
ment delivered by the Alcatel-Lucent 5620
Service Aware Manager (SAM).
As a mobile gateway, the 7750 SR
provides deployment fexibility and
service agility with concurrent support
for Serving GW (SGW), PDN GW (PGW)
and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN)
functions. MNOs can achieve network
simplifcation and operational effciency
by consolidating many essential IP
and mobile networking functions onto
the same platform. Examples include
advanced routing capabilities and support
for Wireless LAN (WLAN) gateways,
Broadband Network Gateways (BNGs)
and IP Security (IPSec) gateways.
With the advanced, purpose-built platform
that the 7750 SR provides, MNOs can
easily deliver scaled growth with no
service deterioration while also supporting
an evolutionary path to Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) and cloud-based
architectures.
BENEFITS
Increase revenue with an
IP-optimized approach
The adoption of IP is driving fatter more
consolidated networks like LTE which
changes the service requirements for
the operator. The era of LTE is unlocking
a new generation of high-touch, high-
volume advanced services (including
VoLTE, video, gaming, over-the-top (OTT)
services, Internet services and business
services), each with its own unique traffc
requirements. Each service brings the
potential for new revenue opportunities
but also requires a different and more
robust approach to packet processing.
The 7750 SR MG represents the new
imperative in packet processing for mobile
networks and is optimized for the delivery
of LTE services, empowering the MNO to
maximize revenue opportunities. With its
award-winning FP network processing
silicon, its three dimensional packet
processing capabilities, its advanced QoS
capabilities and other key features, the
7750 SR MG ensures that MNOs are able
to maximize LTE service revenues now
and well into the future.

Simplify the network and
reduce costs
Todays operational environment for the
MNO is challenging as many different IP
functions are required in the network
in addition to mobile GW functionality.
These functions can include: IP routing and
aggregation, Multi-Protocol Label switch-
ing (MPLS), Wi-Fi access, IP security, and
BNG. The 7750 SR helps MNOs to simplify
their operational model and reduce costs
by consolidating multiple functions on the
same platform. The 7750 SR delivers IP
routing, IP aggregation, and MPLS capabili-
ties concurrently with its mobile gateway
capabilities while also offering support for
IPSec, WLAN gateways and BNGs.
Flexibly and effciently grow
and evolve the network
With the SR OS and Alcatel-Lucent FP
silicon technology that scale 4G/LTE
services across massive number of IP
service packet fows, the 7750 SR enables
MNOs to support the massive growth of
subscribers, mobile devices and applica-
tions while supporting new user behaviors
and quality expectations. As networks
continue to grow and evolve, MNOs will
seek cost savings and operational benefts
from cloud architectures and the virtual-
ization of network functions through NFV.
The 7750 SR mobile gateway evolution is
compatible with Alcatel-Lucents migra-
tion to a virtualized evolved packet core
(vEPC) network.

FEATURES
Purpose-built silicon and
architecture
Alcatel-Lucent has a proven track record
as an innovator in network processor
silicon technology. At the heart of
the 7750 SR is the Alcatel-Lucent
award-winning FP network processing
silicon built specifcally for the rigorous
demands of high-touch, high-volume
packet processing (including fltering,
forwarding, QoS, accounting, charging and
reporting) for each individual IP packet
fow with uncompromising scalability and
performance.
Dedicated CPU for control
plane processing
The 7750 SR as a mobile gateway
provides dedicated and independent
processing of control plane packets sepa-
rate from data plane (user) packets. The
Alcatel-Lucent Control Plane Integrated
Services Adapter (CP-ISA) performs the
rigorous mobile gateway control plane
processing requirements, including
GPRS Tunneling Protocol-Control Plane
(GTP-C), Authentication, Authorization and
Accounting (AAA], Policy and Charging
Control (PCC) and Online Charging System
(OCS]. This dedicated control plane pro-
cessing dramatically increases scalability
and performance, to meet emerging LTE
service demands.
Dedicated CPU for advanced packet
processing and service intelligence
To further differentiate services, the
Alcatel-Lucent Application Assurance
Integrated Services Adapter (AA-ISA)
provides independent and concurrent
processing in the advanced data plane.
The processing capabilities include
L4-L7 in-line inspection and analysis,
and advanced packet processing of
specifc application-level IP traffc fows.
These capabilities, collectively known
as Application Assurance (AA), leverage
embedded subscriber, service and applica-
tion intelligence to provide deeper levels
of integrated service capabilities This
capability extends the 3GPP Application
Detection and Control (ADC) functionality
while integrating it on a single enforce-
ment point within the existing PCC
framework.
The AA-ISA extends the GGSN/PGW
metering and policy control capabilities to
include application-based rules. Compared
to dedicated network appliances, the
AA-ISA provides tighter management
integration, higher performance and
scalability, and consumes less energy.
Concurrent multi-functional IP
network capabilities
The 7750 SR is an industry leader in
service routing, and as a mobile gateway
it inherits many of these IP routing
capabilities, including Open Shortest Path
First (OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP), MPLS and Bidirectional Forwarding
Detection (BFD).
In addition, with Routed Virtual Private
LAN Service (R-VPLS) the 7750 SR can
terminate VPLS provider edge (PE) func-
tionality normally done in the backhaul
network onto the mobile gateway. The
7750 SR also provides support for WLAN,
and IPSec gateways plus BNGs, offering
further opportunities for consolidation and
operational savings.
Industry-leading availability
The 7750 SR as a mobile gateway offers
complete intra-shelf and inter-shelf
geo-redundancy, with full redundancy of
control/switching elements and line cards.
In addition, the SR OS supports numerous
features that minimize service disruption.
These features include non-stop routing,
non stop services, stateful failover, and In
Service Software Upgrade (ISSU). With its
comprehensive suite of high availability
features, the 7750 SR is the industrys
most reliable platform for offering non-
stop applications and services.
Advanced hierarchical QoS
With LTE and the services it can deliver,
it is critical that each individual IP packet
fow be given the proper QoS treatment
through the mobile gateway. The 7750 SR
sets the standard with its advanced and
highly fexible Hierarchical QoS (H-QoS)
implementation.
Hardware support for multi-tiered shaping
and policing hierarchies provides granular
QoS down to a per-subscriber, per-bearer
and per-application (IP packet fow)
basis. Because it is designed as a service
delivery platform, the 7750 SR provides
the tools to defne and deliver the most
stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
for high value, differentiated services.
Service-aware management
The 7750 SR is managed by the Alcatel-
Lucent 5620 SAM for assured, simplifed
and integrated operations across both
network and service management
domains. The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM
is designed to manage services and
provides service-level visibility into the
network for small- and large-scale service
deployments. Moreover, the management
offering streamlines network operations
and aids in the provisioning and manage-
ment of all connectivity and advanced
networking services.

NETWORK OVERVIEW
The 7750 SR MG can assume multiple
roles simultaneously within the 3GPP
mobile packet core including a GGSN, an
SGW, a PGW and an integrated Application
Detection and Control (ADC) function. These
roles in the context of the 3G and LTE
packet cores are shown in Figure 1.
As an SGW, the 7750 SR routes and
forwards user data packets while also
acting as the mobility anchor for the user
plane during inter-eNodeB handovers as
well as handovers between LTE and other
3GPP technologies. It supports the following
interfaces: S1-U, S11, S4, S12 and S5/S8.
As a PGW (and GGSN for 3G), the 7750 SR
provides connectivity for user equipment
(UE) to external packet data networks and is
the IP anchor point. The PDN GW performs
policy enforcement, packet fltering, charg-
ing support, lawful Interception and packet
screening for each packet fow. It supports
the following interfaces: S5/S8, Gn/Gp, S2a,
S2b, Rf, Ga, Gy and SGi.
The 7750 SR embeds the ADC function
within the mobile gateway with the AA-ISA
to provide 3GPP-defned ADC capabilities
for advanced packet processing and service
intelligence. This allows the mobile gateway
to implement both the Policy Charging
Enforcement Function (PCEF) and ADC under
a common Gx PCC rule set for policy control
and charging rules.
Depending on the network requirement,
the 7750 SR can assume all of these roles
simultaneously on the same platform.
