Inter-operator - E-NNI

For inter-provider connecting points, the OS906G serves as a demarcation device at carrier-to-carrier on-net locations and provides External
Ethernet Network-to-Network interfaces (E-NNI) that separate two different service provider networks. In such a deployment scenario, the
OS906G enables Ethernet service delivery over multiple carrier transport networks with end-to-end visibility and control.
The OS906G series includes 4 basic models (noted in the ordering information section on the last page):
1. 19 1U device with internal AC/DC power supply and optional redundant and external AC/DC power supply
2. Full 19 1U device with dual pluggable & redundant AC or DC power supplies
3. Temperature-hardened (-40C to 65C) full 19 1U device with dual pluggable & redundant AC or DC power supplies (future HW option)
4. Temperature-hardened (-40C to 65C), SyncE and IEEE1588v2 (Master *, Slave, BC) supporting devices. Full 19 1U with dual pluggable &
redundant AC/DC power supply.
(*) Future Software release

VPN Services & Protection

Compliant to MEF Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC), the OS906G offers the following 3 types of VPN service:
1. Layer 1 Optical VPN a cross-connect mode without MAC address learning
2. Layer 2 VPN VLAN-based tunneling, Q-in-Q stacking, swapping, or mapping services
3. Layer 2.5 VPN a label-based MPLS VC for direct connection into MPLS domains or H-VPLS MTU-s
All the above VPN services can be fully protected using port redundancy, dual-homing, and/or ring topology with a recovery time less than 50 ms.
In addition to L2 VPN, the OS900 offers integrated IP router services to save on cost of an external router, and provides a single
demarcation platform for managed L2 VPN and IP services.

Advanced Traffic Management

The OS906G series enables a value-added network infrastructure, with end-to-end per flow QoS.
It supports full CoS and QoS (MEF 14 model) including classification of flows, rate limiting, shaping, WFQ scheduling, and strict priority
for lower delay/jitter and guaranteed throughput in real-time applications. In addition, it enables dynamic/adaptive buffer pools to
prevent bursty traffic starvation and ensure effectiveness of queuing resources.
For network convergence applications that have a clear boundary between the customers and the carriers networks, CoS layers
(802.1p, IP ToS, and MPLS EXP bits) can be mapped/marked to preserve priorities or mapped into predefined protection profiles
preconfigured by the provider.

Hierarchical QoS CoS-Aware Rate Limit

Defining premium SLAs is a key requirement for service differentiation.
The OS906G enables traffic management based on innovative CoS-aware rate limit to dynamically reuse bandwidth profiles. Dynamic
QoS allows sharing of defined rate limited flows controlled by an aggregate profile applied to a user network interface or an EVC.
In the new service offering, the consolidated real-time, high-priority and best effort data require different rates and marked Class
of Service (CoS). Dynamic QoS helps to share/borrow the bandwidth allocated for real-time or high priority applications at a time
when these services are not active. Such an offering contributes to a more efficient way of provisioning bandwidth at the access/
demarcation interfaces of the network without complex configuration settings at the aggregation layer.

End-to-end OAM - IEEE802.1ag , ITU-T Y.1731, IP-SLA & RFC2544, ITU-T Y.1564 Service turn-up (*)
The OS906G series incorporates connectivity, discovery, and fault management along with performance statistics of delay, jitter, and frame
loss for demarcation and intermediate points of service. OS906G series offers hardware-based SLA measurment tools with nanosecond
accuracy.
The OS906G demarcation series is a standard-compliant and interoperable OAM solution that enables:
1. End-to-end Connectivity Fault Management per IEEE802.1ag
2. End-to-end Performance Measurement per ITU Y.1731
3. IP SLA with HW-based time stamping (IP-VPN measurements)
4. RFC2544 Layer 2 and 3 testing at up to 1Gbps rate
5. MEF SOAM per MEF10.2
6. Y.1563 Service Availability Measurement based on SLM/SLR
7. Y.1564 service turn-up (*)

Per-service Performance Monitoring

The OS906G offers real-time and history reporting on various service performance metrics, including port/VPN-EVC utilization,
transmission errors, as well as QoS threshold exceptions.
Each service can be tracked for statistical information to help in baselining and troubleshooting traversing services. This capability
enables users to verify service guarantees and increase network reliability by validating network performance. Performance
monitoring uses pro-active monitoring to regulate traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner so as to enable
measurement of network performance and health.

End-to-end Service Provisioning and OAM

Pro-Vision is MRVs carrier-class service provisioning & management
platform that offers service providers a wide range of applications &
tools to fully manage and control large-scale MEF compliant Carrier
Ethernet based data, voice, and video services.
