OptiX OSN 3500
2.3 Built-in WDM Technology

The OptiX OSN 3500 provides a two-channel optical add/drop multiplexing board MR2 and
an arbitrary bit rate wavelength conversion board LWX to implement built-in WDM function.
There are two types of MR2 boards: the MR2A board and the MR2C board. They are
identical in function but are installed in different slots. These boards have the following
characteristics.
z The MR2 board adds/drops two adjacent standard wavelengths compliant with ITU-T
G.692 (DWDM), with signals transmitted transparently and operating wavelength
ranging from 1535.82 nm to 1560.61 nm.
z The MR2 board serves as an OTM station adding/dropping two channels of signals.
z Two MR2 boards connected in serial can form an OTM station adding/dropping four
channels.
z The MR2 board can work with the LWX to form an OADM station adding/dropping two
channels of signals.
z The LWX board converts client-side signals into standard wavelength signals as stated in
ITU-T G.692 (DWDM) and transmit the signals transparently.
z The LWX board provides 3R function to client-side uplink/downlink signals (at the rate
of 34 Mbit/s–2.7 Gbit/s), performs clock recovery and monitors its rate.
z Two types of LWX boards are available: single-fed single receiving and dual-fed signal
selection.
z The dual-fed signal selection LWX board supports intra-board protection, enabling
optical channel protection with one board. The protection switching time is less than
50ms.
z The single-fed single receiving LWX board supports inter-board protection, that is, 1+1
inter-board hot backup protection. The protection switching time is less than 50ms.
2.4 Remote Pumping Amplifier System

The transmitting distance of optical signals is increased by using the optical pumping
amplifier system in the OptiX OSN products.
The optical pumping amplifier system consists of BA optical amplifier board, ROP board and
FIB filter isolating board. Figure 2-5 shows the typical optical pumping amplifier system.

OptiX OSN 3500
2.5 Intelligent Power Adjustment

The OptiX OSN 3500 provides the function of intelligent power adjustment (IPA). The IPA
function is to shut down the pump laser when the receiving side of the line board detects no
input of signals. Therefore, the damage to eyes by too much laser power is avoided.
In a transmission system, the optical signals in optical paths may be lost because of a fiber cut,
equipment degrade or connector disconnection. To prevent the damage to human bodies,
especially eyes, the system provides the IPA function. When the optical signals in the one or
several optical trunk sections of the main optical path are lost, the system detects the signal
loss and shuts down the uplink optical amplifier. Several seconds later, the laser of the
downlink optical amplifier is also shut down. When the optical signals recover, the optical
amplifier resumes working.
2.6 External Clock Output Shutdown Function

The OptiX OSN 3500 provides the function of external clock output shutdown. Users can use
the T2000 to issue a command to the cross-connect board to shut down or recover the two
external T4 external clock outputs. Moreover, the current configuration status of the SCC can
also be queried.
When the function is performed, no external clock signals are output. In addition, the software
cannot automatically recover the clock output unless the T2000 issues a command to disable
the function.
By default, the external clock output shutdown function is not enabled. In other words,
external clock signals are output by default.
2.7 Extended Subrack

The extended subrack of the OptiX OSN 3500 can access 504 E1/T1 services and 24 E3/T3
service .
OptiX OSN 3500 provide E1/T1 services with 1:N (N≤8) TPS protection and E3/T3 service
with 1:N (N≤3).
Each OptiX OSN 3500 can support only one extended subrack. The extended subrack
configuration is shown in Table 2-5.

The intelligent features help the OptiX OSN 3500 to:
z Support automatic end-to-end service configuration.
z Support service level agreement (SLA).

OptiX OSN 3500
z Support mesh networking and protection.

z Provide traffic engineering control to guarantee load-balance traffic network wide and
improve the bandwidth availability.
z Provide distributed mesh network protection including real-time rerouting and
pre-configuration.
z Support span protection and end-to-end service protection, improving the scalability of
the network.
2.12 Resilient Packet Ring

The resilient packet ring (RPR) is suitable for ring topology and is able to restore services
from a broken fibre and link failure. Its major features are:
z Providing the topology automatic discovery function to reflect the network status in real
time
z Supporting fair algorithm by configurable weight and supporting five service levels
z Supporting a maximum of 255 nodes in the ring network and supporting stripping at the
destination node
z Solving fairness and congestion control problems
z Providing RPR protection
2.13 Board Version Replacement

The board version replacement function replaces an old version board with a new version
board. After the replacement, the configuration and service status of the new version board are
consistent with those of the old version board.
This function provides a flexible board replacement scheme, and thus lowers the equipment
cost and the maintenance cost.
Currently for OptiX OSN 3500, the board version replacement function is supported by the
N1SL64, N2SLQ16, N2PQ1, N2EFS0, N4EFS0, N2EGS2 and N2EFS4 boards.
For detailed replacement relations of boards that support this function, refer to the OptiX OSN
3500&2500&1500 Troubleshooting.
When using the board version replacement function, note the following two points:
z If an N2 version line board is used to replace an N1 version line board, AU-3 services
and TCM function cannot be configured on the N2 version line board.
z The line board to be replaced cannot have optical-path-shared MSP configured.
2.14 TCM
Tandem Connection Monitor (TCM) is a method monitoring bit errors. If a VC-4 passes
through several networks, the bit errors of each section can be monitored through TCM.
The N2SL1, N2SLQ1, N2SL4, N2SLD4, N2SLO1, N2SLQ4, N2SLQ16, N2SL16, N2SL16A
and N2SL64 boards support TCM at VC-4 level.

OptiX OSN 3500
2.15 E13 Function

The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the E13 function. The E13 function helps multiplex E1 (1)
signals into E3 (16) signals or de-multiplex E3 signals to E1 signals. There are two modes for
the E13 function: Transmux and Transmux Server.
z The remote NE transmits the E1/E3 services in VC-12/VC-3 granularities to the central
NE by the SDH line.
z The central NE disassembles the received services into E1 signals.
− For E1 services, the central NE directly de-multiplexes VC-12 signals to E1 signals.
− For E3 services, the central NE first de-multiplexes VC-3 signals into E3 signals. The
E13 function is then performed to de-multiplex E3 signals into E1 signals.
z The central NE first grooms E1 signals and then aggregates these E1 signals to form E3
signals by using the E13 function. The E3 signals are then output.
− If the aggregated E3 signals are output to the local application equipment, the mode is
the Transmux mode.
− If the aggregated E3 signals are output to other transmission equipment through the
SDH line, this mode is the Transmux Server mode.
2.16 Network Management Information Interworking

2.16.1 Interworking at Physical Layer
NM Information Transparently Transmitted by Third Party Equipment
The DCC consists of two parts:
z D1–D3 bytes, forming a 192 kbit/s channel.
z D4–D12 bytes, forming a 576 kbit/s channel.
z Currently, only the D1–D3 bytes are used. The D4–D12 bytes are reserved for higher
management requirements.
When there is a piece of third party equipment between the OptiX OSN 3500 systems, the
bytes D4–D12 will be used by the third party equipment to transmit the NM information, as
shown in Figure 2-8.

OSI over DCC (TP4)

OSI over DCC adopts standard OSI protocols (also called TP4) to transmit NM information at
network layer.
For OSI over DCC, there are two networking modes. They are explained below:
z The NM information of the OptiX OSN 3500 is transparently transmitted by the third
party equipment through OSI over DCC, as shown in Figure 2-12.

OptiX OSN 3500
5 Software Product Description
5.1 Overview
The software system of the OptiX OSN 3500 is of a modular structure, as shown in Figure 5-1.
The software modules fall into three types: the board software, the NE software and the NM
software. The three types of software respectively run on various boards, the SCC board and
the NM computer for corresponding functions.

5.2 Intelligent Software

The intelligent software is included in the NE software. The intelligent software requires
special license, and it can be enabled or disabled independently.
The intelligent software is represented in a control plane which is layered over the
transmission plane. The control plane interacts with the transmission plane to realise
auto-configuration of service and provide service protection based on user levels. Figure 5-2
shows the relationship between the intelligent control plane and transmission plane.

module module module module
The transmission plane manages service configuration of the OptiX OSN 3500 and provides
SDH-based protection for services. The control plane serves as one client of the transmission
plane. Through the interface adaptation mechanism, the resource agents of the control plane
and the transmission plane interact with each other to get the state of resource allocation and
implement function provisioning of the NE.
5.3 NE Software
The NE software manages, monitors and controls the operation of the boards of an NE.
Through the NE software, the communication unit between the NM system and boards, the
NM system controls and manages NEs. According to ITU-T M.3010, the NE software
belongs to the NE management layer in the telecommunication management network,
implementing the functions including NE functions, some of coordination functions and
operating system functions of the network element layer. The data communication function
implements the communication between the NE and other equipment (including coordinated
equipment, NM system, and other NEs).
z Real-time multi-task operating system
The function of the real-time multi-task operating system of the OptiX OSN 3500 NE
software is to manage public resources and provide support for the executive program. It
provides an executive environment unrelated to processor hardware by segregating the
application from the processor.
z Network side (NS) module
The NS module exits 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. It
can be divided into three sub-modules functionally:
− Qx interface module
− Command line interface module

OptiX OSN 3500
5 Software Product Description
− Security management module

z Equipment administration module (AM)
The equipment AM is the kernel of the NE software for NE management. It includes Manager
and Agent. Administrator can send network management operation commands and receive
events. Agent can respond to the network management operation commands sent by the
network administrator, implement operations to the managed object and submit events
according to status change of the managed object.
The equipment AM includes configuration management module, performance management
module, alarm management module and MSP switching management module.
z Communication module
This module fulfills the message communication function (MCF) of the functional blocks of
the transmission network equipment.
Through the hardware interface provided by the GSCC board, the communication module
transmits the OAM&P information and exchanges management information between the NM
system and NEs, and between NEs themselves. It consists of network communication module,
serial communication module and ECC communication module.
z Database management module
This module is an organic component of the NE software, composed of database and
management system. Database comprises several sub databases, including network database,
alarm database, performance database and equipment database. The management system
manages and accesses the data in the database.
5.4 Board Software

The board software runs on each board, managing, monitoring and controlling the operation
of the board. It receives the command issued from the NE software and reports the board
status to the NE software through performance events and alarm.
The specific functions include:
z Alarm management
z Performance management
z Configuration management
z Communication management
It directly controls the functional circuits in corresponding boards and implements ITU-T
compliant specific functions of the NE.
The board software can be classified into the following types:
z Line software or tributary software
z Cross-connect software
z Clock software
z Orderwire software.

OptiX OSN 3500
5.5 NM System
The NM system implements a unified management over the optical transmission network by
the OptiX iManager T2000, and maintains all ION, SDH, Metro, DWDM NE equipment in
the network. In compliance with ITU-T Recommendation, it is a network management system
integrating standard management information model and object-oriented management
technology. It exchanges information with NE software through the communication module to
monitor and manage the network equipment.
The NM software runs on a workstation or PC, managing the equipment and the transmission
network to help to operate, maintain and manage the transmission equipment. The
management functions of the NM software include:
z Alarm management: collect, prompt, filter, browse, acknowledge, check, clear, and
statistics in real time; fulfill alarm insertion, alarm correlation analysis and fault
diagnosis.
z Performance management: set performance monitoring; browse, analyze and print
performance data; forecast medium-term and long-term performance; and reset
performance register.
z Configuration management: configure and manage interfaces, clocks, services, trails,
subnets and time.
z Security management: NM user management, NE user management, NE login
management, NE login lockout, NE setting lockout and local craft terminal (LCT) access
control of the equipment.
z Maintenance management: provide loopback, board resetting, automatic laser shutdown
(ALS) and optical fiber power detection, and collect equipment data to help the
maintenance personnel in troubleshooting.

6.1.2 Application
The OptiX OSN 3500 integrates the access of Ethernet services on the SDH transmission
platform, so it can transmit both the voice service and data service.
EPL Service
z EPL service based on port
EPL implements the point-to-point transparent transmission of Ethernet services. As shown in
Figure 6-1, the Ethernet services of different NEs are transmitted to the destination node
through their respective VCTRUNKs. The Ethernet service is provided with a perfect SDH
self-healing ring (SHR) protection scheme, and its reliable transmission is thus guaranteed.

EVPL services are isolated through VLAN tags during bandwidth sharing. As shown in
Figure 6-2, flow classification is performed for the Ethernet service according to the port and
VLAN ID to distinguish different VLANs of Companies A and B. Up to two priorities can be
set according to the flow classification result. For security purpose, the OptiX OSN 3500
isolates services of different users by VLAN. In the figure below,
− VLAN 1 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 11 of Company B
− VLAN 2 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 12 of Company B,
− VLAN 3 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 13 of Company B
All services of Company A are converged to NE1 and are output from the FE/GE interface of
the NE1, and then are sent to the Lanswitch for further processing.

EVPL Service
The OptiX OSN 3500 adopts the Martini modes to construct the multi-protocol label
switching (MPLS) Layer 2 VPN and provide EVPL service.
The EVPL service offers point-to-point connection and implements service convergence for
users.
As shown in Figure 6-3, the system searches for the Port + VLAN ID table for the external
label (Tunnel) and internal label (VC), and add them to the accessed Ethernet frames. Data
transfer in the network is based on the MPLS label, which is switched at the label switch path
(LSP). Then, the data will be transmitted to the NE4 equipment, which strips the MPLS label
and transfers the data to the corresponding port. The OptiX OSN 3500 integrates the function
of P equipment and PE equipment.

OptiX OSN 3500
EPLAN Service
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports Layer 2 switching of Ethernet data by the EPLAN service,
which is transferred according to their destination media access control (MAC) addresses.
As shown in Figure 6-4, LANs of Company A and B are connected to four NEs. The Ethernet
service between the NEs is not of a fixed point-to-point type. For example, a user of Company
A connecting to NE3 want to communicate with users of Company A connecting to three
other NEs. That is, the flow direction of services is not definite. The Ethernet Layer 2
switching function provided by the OptiX OSN 3500 can be employed to solve such a
problem. For example, an Ethernet MAC address transfer table is formed in the system when
the relevant settings are made to NE3. The system can learn to periodically update the table.
Then, the data of Company A and B accessed at NE3 is transmitted to their destinations over
different VCTRUNKs selected according to their MAC transfer table or over the same
VCTRUNK.
In this way, the system configuration is significantly simplified and the bandwidth utility is
improved. The corresponding maintenance and management becomes convenient for the
operator.

EVPLAN Service
The OptiX OSN 3500 adopts the Martini MPLS Layer 2 VPN encapsulation format to support
the Ethernet virtual private LAN (EVPLAN) service.
EVPLAN service implements the multipoint-to-multipoint connection of user sites. Users
regard the EVPLAN network as a big VLAN where the user service is converged. As shown
in Figure 6-5, when the user’s Ethernet frame (the source address is MAC H, and the
destination address is MAC A, B or C) enters the PE equipment, the system searches for the
Layer 2 transfer table for the internal label (VC label). Then, the frame is transferred to the
corresponding tunnel, where it is attached the external label (tunnel label). Thus, different
LSPs are set up according to different addresses. The MPLS labels are switched at the LSP
and then transferred to the corresponding PE equipment, where the tunnel and VC labels are

OptiX OSN 3500
stripped. Subsequently, the Ethernet frame is transferred to the corresponding output port
according to the Layer 2 MAC transfer table.

6.1.3 Protection
The Ethernet service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several levels,
including:
z Protection of LCAS
z Protection of STP/RSTP
z TPS protection
z Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP,SNCP and SNCMP
z LPT protection
LCAS
LCAS provides an error tolerance mechanism, enhancing the reliability of virtual
concatenation. It has the following functions:
z Configures the system capacity, adds or reduces the number of VC involved in the virtual
concatenation and changes the service bandwidth dynamically without damaging the
service.
z Protects and recovers failed members.
As shown in Figure 6-6, LCAS adds or deletes members to increase or decrease the
bandwidth dynamically without affecting the service.

STP/RSTP
The Ethernet boards support spanning tree protocol (STP) and rapid spanning tree protocol
(RSTP). The RSTP protects the link by restructuring the topology. When the RSTP is started,
it can modify the logic network topology to avoid broadcast storms.
TPS protection
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports two 1;1 TPS protections for the N1EFS0 or N4EFS0 boards.
MSP,SNCP and SNCMP

Ethernet service is protected by MSP, SNCP or SNCMP in optical transmission layer.
LPT Protection
LPT function is on basis of line protection. When the active ports and the standby ports
between routers in network belong to different links, protection can be thus realized through
LPT function. When the active link goes faulty, the local ports are shut down and the router of
the opposite end detects the link abnormality. The traffic is switched from the active port to
the backup one and is thus protected.
6.2 RPR Features

This section introduces the RPR features of the OptiX OSN 3500 in terms of function,
application and protection.
6.2.1 Function
The EMR0 and EGR2 boards of the OptiX OSN 3500 supports resilient packet ring (RPR)
features defined by IEEE 802.17. RPR employs a dual-ring structure utilizing a pair of
unidirectional counter-rotating rings, as shown in Figure 6-8. Both the outer ring and the inner
ring bear data packets and control packets, featuring high bandwidth utilization. The control
packets on the inner ring carry control information for the data packets on the outer ring, and
the control packets on the outer ring carry control information for the data packets on the
inner ring. The two rings backup and protect for each other.

OptiX OSN 3500
Topology Discovery
The topology discovery function realizes the plug and play feature, for the function provides
reliable method to discover the network nodes and their variation. In this case, the nodes of an
RPR can be automatically added, deleted or switched.
To increase or decrease the total bandwidth of an RPR, use the LCAS function. The LCAS
features adding and reducing bandwidth dynamically without affecting existing services.
Spatial Reuse
The stripping of unicast frames at the destination station realizes spatial reuse on an RPR. As
shown in Figure 6-9, the bandwidth of a ring is 1.25 Gbit/s. Traffic 1 transferred from node 1
to node 4 is stripped from the ring at the destination node 4. After the arrival of traffic 1 at
node 4, traffic 2 can be transferred from node 4 to node 3, by occupying the link capacity that
may have been occupied by traffic 1 if it is not stripped at node 4.

Fairness Algorithm
The outer ring and the inner ring of an RPR support independent weighted fairness algorithm.
The fairness algorithm assures access of the low-class B_EIR and C services. The weight of
the fairness algorithm is provisionable to decide the access rate of a node. A node needs to set
weights at the outer and the inner rings, and the two weights decide the bandwidth of
low-class services upon bandwidth contention. As shown in Figure 6-10, the outer ring
weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 are 1. Suppose the available bandwidth on the outer ring for
low-class services is 1.2 Gbit/s, the fairness algorithm will allocate 400 Mbit/s for the
low-class services from nodes 2, 3 and 4 to node 1 respectively. Table 6-11 shows a fairness
algorithm with different weights: the weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 on the outer ring are 1, 3 and
2 respectively. The fairness algorithm allocates 200 Mbit/s for node 2, 600 Mbit/s for node 3
and 400 Mbit/s for node 4.

6.2.2 Application
The EMR0 board supports the application of EVPL and EVPLAN services.
EVPL
The EVPL service supports traffic classification based on port or port + VLAN, and
encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the form of MPLS MartinioE. Figure 6-12 illustrates
the accessing, forwarding and stripping of a unidirectional EVPL service. Node 2 inserts
Tunnel and VC labels to the packet, sends it to the RPR. Node 3 forwards the packet and the
destination node 4 strips it. Figure 6-13 illustrates the EVPL service convergence,

OptiX OSN 3500
implementing traffic classification through port + VLAN, so that the services can be
concentrated at the GE port of node 1.

EVPLAN
The EVPLAN service supports traffic classification based on port or port + VLAN, and
encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the form of stack VLAN. The EVPLAN service is
realized by creating virtual bridge (VB) in the board. VB supports source MAC address
learning and static MAC route configuration. Figure 6-14 shows an example of EVPLAN
service. The VB of each node determines the forward port of packets through address learning

OptiX OSN 3500
and rpr1 is the port to access packets to the RPR. For node 1, if the destination address is A1,
the packet is forwarded through port 1; if the destination is A2, the packet is forwarded
through port 2. If the destination is B1, B2 or C1, the packet is forwarded through port rpr1 to
the RPR, added a stack VLAN label 100. Node 2 forwards packets in the similar manner.

6.2.3 Protection
The RPR service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several levels,
including:
z Wrapping, Steering and Wrapping + Steering
z LCAS
z RSTP
z Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP
Wrapping
If an equipment or facility failure is detected, the traffic is wrapped back to the opposite
direction at the stations adjacent to the failure, connecting the outer ring with the inner ring.
The protection switching time is less than 50ms. Though featuring fast protection switching,
wrap protection wastes bandwidth.
As illustrated in Figure 6-15, traffic is transferred from node 4 to node 1 through nodes 3 and
2. If there is a fiber cut between node 2 and node 3, they will wrap the traffic and connect the
two rings together for protection.

Steering
For steering protection, a station shall not wrap a failed segment when a failure is detected.
Instead, the source node will send traffic to the destination through a route avoiding the failed
link. When there are not more than 16 nodes on the ring, the protection switching time is less
than 50ms. The steering protection does not waste bandwidth, but it needs longer switching
time when the networking is in large scale and some data before setting up a route may be lost
when networking is in large scale.
Figure 6-16 illustrates an example of steering protection. Node 4 sends traffic to node 1 on the
outer ring through nodes 3 and 2. If there is a fiber cut between node 2 and node 3, the
topology discovery function helps the traffic be transferred to node 1 over the inner ring
through nodes 5 and 6.

Wrapping+Steering
The protection method of wrapping+steering switches the services first in the way of
wrapping upon a failure on the ring, to ensure the switching speed and minimum packet loss.
After the topology discovery protocol updates the topology after the failure, steering method
works to ensure that the services are sent to the destination node through the best path in the
new topology, which minimizes the waste of bandwidth.
Figure 6-17 shows an example of wrapping+steering protection. Before a failure occurs in the
ring, the service from node 4 to node 1 passes through node 3 and node 2 and reaches node 1
along the outer ring. When a fiber cut is detected between node 2 and node 3, wrapping
method takes effect. The service is looped back at nodes 2 and 3. After the topology discovery
protocol updates the topology, steering method triggers a switching. The service passes
through nodes 5 and 6 and reaches node 1 along the inner ring based on the new topology.

LCAS
LCAS adds and reduces the bandwidth dynamically, and protects the bandwidth.
For details about LCAS, refer to "6.1.3 Protection".
RSTP
The RPR boards support rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP). The RSTP protects the link by
restructuring the topology. When the RSTP is started, it can modify the logic network
topology to avoid broadcast storms.

MSP
Ethernet service is protected by MSP in optical transmission layer.
6.3 ATM Features

Supportable Services and Traffic Types
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and UBR services rather than ABR
services. CBR services apply to voice services, as well as video services and circuit
simulation services of a constant bit rate. These services require guaranteed transmission
bandwidth and latency. Rt-VBR services apply to audio and video services of a variable bit
rate. Nrt-VBR services are mainly used for data transmission. UBR services are used for LAN
simulation and file transmission. In terms of the supported service and traffic types, the OptiX
OSN 3500 meets IETF RFC2514, ATM Forum TM 4.0 and ATM Forum UNI 3.1
recommendations, as shown in the Table 6-9.

Application of Band Exclusive ATM Services

When the bandwidth is not shared, ATM services at the source and sink NEs are processed
only at the ATM layer through the ATM service processing board. On intermediate NEs, only
SDH timeslot pass-through is performed, without ATM layer processing. In this case, each
ATM service has the whole VC-3/VC-4 channel to itself. The ATM services are converged at
the central node and then multiplexed to an STM-1 or STM-4 optical port for output. As

OptiX OSN 3500
shown in the Figure 6-18, the 34 Mbit/s ATM services of NE1 and NE3 each occupy a VC-3
bandwidth. The 155 Mbit/s ATM service of NE2 occupies a VC-4 bandwidth alone. SDH
timeslot pass-through is performed at NE3 only. After they reach the central site NE4, they are
converged through the ATM board and output through the 622 Mbit/s optical interfaces.

Application of Band-Shared ATM Services

In shared rings VR-Ring and VC-Ring, the ATM services share the same bandwidth and are
multiplexed statistically. The ATM services on each NE share the same VC (VC-3, VC-4, or
VC-xv) and are all processed on the ATM layer. As shown in the Figure 6-19, NE1 accesses
E3 ATM traffic through the tributary board and sends it to the ATM board for ATM switching
and protection (1+1 or 1:1) configuration. Then the traffic is encapsulated into VC-4-xv and is
sent to the line through the cross-connect board. NE2 accesses STM-1 ATM traffic through
the optical interface and then implements ATM switching and protection configuration. The
ATM traffic from NE1 is also dropped at NE2 for ATM layer processing. Then the locally
accessed traffic and that from NE1 are encapsulated into the same VC-4-xv and are sent to the
next NE. The same goes at NE3 and NE4. A single VP/VC-Ring can have a maximum
bandwidth of 300 Mbit/s.

IMA Services
The inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA) technology is applied to de-multiplex an ATM
integrated cell flow into several low-rate links. At the far end, the low-rate links are
multiplexed to restore the integrated cell flow. Hence, several low-rate links are flexibly
multiplexed.
The IMA technology is applicable when ATM cells are transmitted on E1 or other rate
interfaces. The IMA technology is applied only to provide a channel but not process service
types and ATM cells. The signals of ATM layer or higher layer are transparently transmitted.
Two boards with IMA features are available for the OptiX OSN 3500. They are the IDL4 and
the IDQ1 boards.

6.3.3 Protection
The ATM service of the OptiX OSN equipment is protected on many layers, including:
z Protection on the ATM layer
z Protection on the optical transmission layer, such as MSP
z 1+1 board level protection of IMA boards
Protection on the ATM Layer

Compliant with ITU-T Recommendation I.630, protection on the ATM layer can be classified
into many types according to different classification method, as shown in the Table 6-10.
Select the configuration as required, for example, 1+1 bidirectional non-revertive protection".
Table 6-10 Classification of ATM protection

Classification Mode Types
Bridging function 1+1 protection/1:1 protection

Protection domain Trail protection/Subnetwork connection protection
Revertiblility Revertive protection/Non-revertive protection
Protected object Single connection protection/Group connection protection

OptiX OSN 3500
Protection on the Optical Transmission Layer

The ATM service is also protected by the self-healing network on the optical transmission
layer, such as MSP. You can set the hold-off time for ATM protection switching. When a
network damage occurs, the MSP on lower layers is switched first, and thus achieving the
protection of working ATM service (in this case, the protection switching on the ATM layer is
not activated).
1+1Board Level Protection of IMA boards

The IDL4 and IDQ1 support the 1+1 board level protection. When configure 1+1 board level
protection, the IDL4 and IDQ1 must be inserted in the paired the slots.

7 Intelligent Features Product Description
7.1 Topology Auto-Discovery

7.1.1 Control Link Auto-Discovery
After the fibers in an ASON network are connected correctly, each ASON NE discovers
control links automatically through OSPF and floods its own control links to the whole
network. Each NE then gets the network-wide control links, that is, the network-wide control
topology. Then, each NE can calculate the route to any of the other NEs in the network.
As shown in Figure 7-1, after the fibers in the whole network are connected, ASON NEs
discover the network-wide control topology.

:User equipment
7.1.2 TE Link Auto-Discovery

After an ASON NE creates a control channel between neighbor NEs through LMP, TE link
verification can be started. Each ASON NE floods its own TE links to the whole network
through OSPF-TE. Each NE then gets the network-wide TE links, that is, the network-wide
resource topology.
ASON software can detect resource topology change in real time, including the deletion and
addition of links, as well as the link parameters change, and then reports the change to T2000,
which performs real-time refresh.
As shown in Figure 7-2, if one TE link is cut, the NM updates the resource topology displayed
on the NM in real time.

7.2 End-to-End Service Configuration

The ASON supports both SDH permanent connections and end-to-end ASON services. To
configure an ASON service, you only need to specify its source node, sink node, bandwidth
requirement, and protection level. Service routing and cross-connection at intermediate nodes
are all automatically completed by the network. You can also set explicit node, excluded node,
explicit link and excluded link to constrain the service routing.
Compared with service configuration of SDH networks, it fully utilizes the routing and
signaling functions of the ASON NEs and thus it is convenient to configure services.
Take the configuration of a 155 Mbit/s ASON service between A and I in Figure 7-3 for
example. The network automatically finds the A-D-E-I route and configures cross-connection
at nodes A, D, E and I. Although there is more than one route from A to I, the network will
calculate the best route according to the configured algorithm. Here we suppose A-D-E-I is
the best route.
The service is created as follows:
z Choose the bandwidth granularity.
z Choose the service protection level.
z Choose the source node.
z Choose the sink node.
z Create the service.

7.3 Mesh Networking Protection and Restoration

The ASON provides mesh networking protection to enhance service survivability and
network security. As a main networking mode of ASON, mesh features high flexibility and
scalability. Different from traditional SDH networking modes, mesh networking does not
need 50% bandwidth reserved so it can save bandwidth resources to satisfy the increasingly
large bandwidth demands. This networking mode also provides more than one route for each
service so it can best utilize the network resources with higher security.
As shown in Figure 7-4, when the C-G link failed, to restore the service, the network will
calculate another route from D to H and create a new LSP to transmit the service.

7.4.1 Diamond Services

A diamond service is a service with 1+1 protection from the source node to the sink node. It is
also called 1+1 service. For a diamond service, there are two different LSPs available between
the source node and the sink node. One is the working LSP and the other is the protection LSP.
The same service is transmitted to the working LSP and the protection LSP at the same time.
If the working LSP is normal, the sink node receives the service from the working LSP;
otherwise, from the protection LSP.
Figure 7-5 shows a diamond service.

7.4.2 Gold Services

A gold service needs only one LSP. This LSP must use multiplex section working links. When
a fiber on the path of a gold service is cut, the ASON triggers MSP switching to protect the
service at first. If the multiplex section protection fails, the ASON will trigger rerouting to
restore the service.
As shown in Figure 7-6, a gold service can be configured from A to I.

7.4.3 Silver Service

Silver services are also called rerouting services. Upon an LSP failure, periodical rerouting is
performed until the rerouting succeeds. If there are not enough resources, it may fail to apply
for a proper protection route, which then leads to service interruption.
As shown in Figure 7-7, A-B-G-H-I is a silver service trail. If the fiber between B and G is cut,
the ASON triggers rerouting from A to create a new LSP that does not pass the cut fiber.
Hence, services are protected.

7.4.6 Tunnel Services

The ASON supports tunnel services. Tunnel services are mainly used to carry VC12 or VC3
services. Tunnel services are also called as ASON server trails.
The configuration of a tunnel service is different from that of the above-mentioned service
types. Its cross-connection from the tributary board to the line board can only be configured
manually. As shown in Figure 7-8, there is an ASON server trail between NE1 and NE2 which
can be a gold ASON server trail, silver ASON server trail or copper ASON server trail.
During service creation, the ASON automatically chooses the line boards of NE1 and NE2
and the timeslots of the line boards.
After creating tunnel services, you must manually create and delete the lower order
cross-connection from the tributary board to the line board. During rerouting or optimization
of the tunnel services, however, the cross-connections at the source and sink nodes
automatically switch to the new ports.

7.5 Service Association

Service association is to associate two ASON services that have different routes. During the
rerouting or optimization of either service, the rerouting service will avoid the route of the
associated service.

OptiX OSN 3500
As shown in Figure 7-9, D-E-I and A-B-G-H are two associated LSPs. When the fiber
between B and G is cut, the rerouting of the A-B-G-H LSP will avoid the D-E-I LSP.

7.6 Service Optimization

After the topology change several times, the ASON may have less satisfactory routes and thus
need service optimization. Service optimization means to create a new LSP, switch the
optimized service to the new LSP, and delete the original LSP so as to change and optimize
the service without disrupting the service.

OptiX OSN 3500
LSP optimization has the following features.

z Only manual optimization is supported.
z The optimization does not change the protection level of the optimized service.
z During optimization, rerouting, degrade/upgrade, or deleting operations are not allowed.
z During creation, rerouting, degrading/upgrading, starting or deleting operations,
optimization is not allowed.
z The following service types support optimization: diamond, gold, silver, copper and
tunnel services.
7.7 Equilibrium of Network Traffic

The ASON calculates a best route according to CSPF algorithm. If there are many services
between two nodes, there may be several services sharing a same route. The traffic
equilibrium function is used to avoid this situation. As shown in Figure 7-10, there are many
silver services between R2 and R4. To make the network more safe and reliable, the ASON
allocates them to different route averagely as possible such as A-D-E-I, A-B-C-F-I and
A-B-G-H-I.

7.8 The Shared Risk Link Group

Fibers in the same optical cable have the same risks, that is, when the cable is cut, all fibers
are cut. So an ASON service should not be rerouted to another link that has the same risk.
Set the SRLG attribute correctly for the links of the same risks to make sure the two LSPs of a
diamond service are not in the same cable and to enhance the possibility of successful
rerouting at the first time. You can change the SRLG attribute.

OptiX OSN 3500
7.9 ASON Trail Group

The ASON supports amalgamation of ASON and LCAS.
7.9.1 LCAS
LCAS is Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme.
With LCAS enabled, the bandwidth of VCTRUNK can be adjusted dynamically without
affecting services. As shown in Figure 7-11, VCTRUNK1 is bound with four VC4s, with two
transmitted over path 1 and two over path 2. If the VC4 in path 1 fails, the two VC4s in path 2
will transmit all Ethernet service without affecting the service of VCTRUNK1. You can add
VC4 on either path if necessary.
Figure 7-11 LCAS (different path)
Path 1
VCTRUNK1
Router A Router B
NE1 Path 2 NE2
If these VC4s are transmitted over a path, adding/deleting VC4 will not affect the service. As
shown in Figure 7-12, VCTRUNK1 is bound with four VC4s. If the first VC4 fails, the
Ethernet service remains unaffected.
Figure 7-12 LCAS (same path)
VCTRUNK1
Router A NE1 NE2 Router B
7.9.2 ASON Trail Group

An ASON trail group associates all member trails for the same LCAS service within one LSP
group. These member trails then can be added, deleted or modified. To provide virtual
services with the error tolerance ability, these member trails must be as separate as possible.
Each ASON trail group is identified by an ID. The ASON NE allocates an ID to each ASON
trail group. The member trails within an ASON trail share the same source and sink. The trails
must also be as separated as possible.

OptiX OSN 3500
7.10 Service Migration

7.10.1 Service Migration between ASON Trails and Permanent
Connections
Currently, Huawei's ASON supports:
z Migration between diamond services and permanent SNCP connections.
z Migration between gold services and permanent connections.
z Migration between silver services and permanent connections.
z Migration between copper services and permanent connections.

SNCMP
The subnetwork connection multipath protection (SNCMP) is an N+1 (which means multiple
protection paths protect a working path, Nñ3) protection scheme. The SNCMP is different
from the SNCP in that the SNCP is a 1+1 protection scheme.
The SNCMP provides multiple protection paths for a service. In this case, the service
protection is implemented by a mechanism of multiple fed at the source and selective
receiving at the sink. The SNCMP is supplementary to the SNCP. While the SNCP protects
services only in a line-to-line manner, the SNCMP protects services whose source and sink
can both be in the line direction or in the tributary direction.
Figure 8-2 illustrates the principle of multipath protection. The source broadcasts services to
multiple paths, and the sink determines which service to receive according to the service
priority and then the service quality. When services are correctly received on both the working
and protection paths, the sink selects the service from the working path.

8.2.4 DNI
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the dual node interconnection (DNI) protection, which is line
with the ITU-T G.842.
DNI is a protection scheme, which requires two interconnected nodes. This protection scheme
enhances the reliability of inter-ring services. This scheme can be applied to protect the

OptiX OSN 3500
services between two rings, which are formed by equipment from different vendors and takes
different protection schemes. This scheme can also provide protection when fiber is cut or any
node goes faulty.
DNI is applied to provide protection for services in the listed rings.

As shown in Figure 8-7, in the fiber-shared virtual trail protection, STM-16, STM-4, or even
STM-1 optical paths are logically divided into low order and high order paths, and combined
with other links to form the path-level rings. The path-level rings can have the working
schemes, such as MSP, SNCP, and non protection.
8.2.6 MS Shared Protection Ring

In the MS shared protection ring, an optical interface can be configured with multiple MSP
groups, so that MS rings protection can share the same fiber and optical interface. This
function depends on the capability of the optical board to process multiple sets of independent
K bytes. SL64, SF16 and SL16 of the OptiX OSN 3500 support a maximum of two shared
optical paths.

z External clock source
z Line clock source
z Tributary clock source
z Internal clock source
9.1.1 External Clock Source

The OptiX OSN 3500 supports two external clock source inputs.
z Two 75-ohm external clock inputs (2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz)
z Two 120-ohm external clock inputs (2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz)
9.1.2 Link Clock Source

The OptiX OSN 3500 can trace line clock source.
9.1.3 Tributary Clock Source

(corresponding to the first physical port) or the second port (corresponding to the ninth
physical port) on the T2000 of PQ1 or PQM.
(corresponding to the first physical port) or the second port (corresponding to the fourth
physical port) on the T2000 of PD3.
(corresponding to the first physical port) on the T2000 of PL3.
9.1.4 Internal Clock Source

When external clock source, line clock source and tributary clock source fail, internal clock
source provides clock for the OptiX OSN 3500.
9.2 Clock Working Mode

There are three working modes available for the OptiX OSN 3500:
z Locked mode
z Hold-over mode
z Free-run mode
9.2.1 Locked Mode

Under locked mode, the OptiX OSN 3500 traces one clock source of all lines, tributaries and
external clock sources.

OptiX OSN 3500
9.2.2 Hold-over Mode

If all clock sources are lost, the OptiX OSN 3500 utilises the frequency information stored
before the loss as its clock source to operate. The frequency information complies with the
related phase standard defined in G.813.
9.2.3 Free-Run Mode

The OptiX OSN 3500 works under the inherent frequency of its internal crystal oscillator
whose frequency stability is not worse than ±4.6 ppm.
9.3 Clock Outputs

The OptiX OSN 3500 supports clock outputs as follows:
z Line clock outputs
z Tributary clock outputs
z External clock outputs
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports external clock outputs as follows:
z Two 75-ohm external clock outputs (2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz)
z Two 120-ohm external clock outputs (2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz)
z For tributary clock outputs, the OptiX OSN 3500 supports tributary retiming function that improves
the quality of output tributary clock.
z For external clock outputs, only two 75-ohm or two 120-ohm clocks but never both can be applied.
9.4 Clock Protection

The OptiX OSN 3500 provides synchronization status message (SSM) function for
synchronous clocks. The configuration of standard SSM and extended SSM are supported to
switch clocks for protection.
The clock of the OptiX OSN 3500 can be configured as:
z Synchronization status message (SSM) disabled
Clock sources are selected and switched as per priority list:
z Standard SSM enabled
z Extended SSM enabled
9.4.1 Clock Configuration with SSM Disabled

The OptiX OSN 3500 selects and switches the clock source according to the priority table.
The clock source of highest priority is the trace source. The priority table can be configured
manually. Figure 9-1 shows the clock configuration and the priority table when SSM is
disabled.

9.4.2 Clock Configuration with Standard SSM Enabled

Standard SSM allows the OptiX OSN 3500 to choose the clock source of the highest quality
and priority to prevent the occurrence of clock mutual tracing. See Figure 9-2. Standard SSM
is loaded in the lower four-digit bits (bit5 – bit 8) of the S1 byte in SDH section overhead.

9.4.3 Clock Configuration with Extended SSM Enabled

However, standard SSM cannot avoid the clock mutual tracing completely. See Figure 9-3.
Huawei puts forward the concept of clock source ID, which is defined using the higher
four-digit bits (bit1–bit4) of the S1 byte and transmitted with SSM. The SSM with clock ID is
called extended SSM. When a node receives the S1 byte, it checks the clock source ID to

OptiX OSN 3500
judge whether it is originated from this station. If so, the clock source is unavailable, thus the
clock mutual tracing can be avoided. See Figure 9-3.

Node 1 finds that the ID sent from Node 4 is

not trace it to avoid the clock mutual tracing.
Clock tracing
A clock ID can be allocated by NM or set manually. In an SDH ring network, the clock ID is
usually set manually to effectively prevent the occurrence of mutual tracing. The clock ID is
necessary only in key points. Set the clock ID following the principles below.
z Allocate a clock ID for every external BITS.
z Allocate a clock ID for the internal clock source of every node with external BITS.
z Allocate a clock ID for the internal clock source of the junction node of a ring and chain
or two rings.
z For a junction node, if the clock tracing level includes ring clock source, allocate a clock
ID for this clock source.
