Abstract

3

In this session we will start by reviewing the advantages of IP+Optical solutions

including a modeling exercise.

We follow by briefly reviewing optical consideration factors for IP+Optical design,

including G.709 framing, optical impairments management, and modulation schemes

optimization.

We will then discuss IP+Optical Architectures and how new ROADM functionalities

enable a more seamless integration of Routing and Transport capabilities which can

result in better optimization of network cost, flexibility and scalability to support

unknown needs.

We will cover Network integration architectures.

Last but not least, we will discuss how the Network Convergence System recently

launched can enable seamless integration that allows for optimal bandwidth usage

and cost savings.

From Incremental to Architectural Changes

11

Incremental Changes

– WDM Integration on Router Line Cards

– Virtual Transponder

– Proactive FRR

Architectural Changes

– IP started as one of many Services to be Transported

– Today IP is the main (the only in some cases…) Service to be Transported

Network Modelling allows us to look at today’s needs to determine which is the best approach to use

Consider a (fictitious) National Scale IP network using a mixture of channel types and approaches

– 10GE channels

– 100GE channels

– 10GE and 100GE channels

– Single hop and bypass channel routing

Examine ramifications on

– Channel count

– Link bundle sizes

– Total router fabric

– Largest individual router fabric

Network Modelling Summary

Single Hop Network Design (independent IP and Optical Networks) is the one which requires the Higher Number of Channels (10GE and 100GE) and the Biggest Fabric Capacity

Traffic Bypass Design (IP and Optical are one Network) allows to reduce the Number of Channels and requires Smaller Fabric Capacity

While this is somewhat a simple case (no multi-period modelling, no Regeneration optimization, no Sensitivity to different growth patterns), it clearly shows the advantages of Convergence

IP and Optical need to be both Flexible and Intelligent – Collaborate to the definition of Optimal solution based on given Constraints

23

Attenuation

EDFA’s can help overcome attenuation, applied per span, but add noise

…Hybrid Raman/EDFA amplification can overcome attenuation with minimal noise. FEC also helps.

Polarization Mode Dispersion

Generally have to live with it. Regenerate signal when required.

…Now compensated for in Digital Signal Processing via Coherent Detection

Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR)

Nothing can overcome losses in OSNR! Must regenerate!

…But advanced Forward Error Correction can lower OSNR requirements

Chromatic Dispersion

DCU’s can help mitigate dispersion problems, applied per span, but add cost, latency, and loss

…Now compensated for in Digital Signal Processing via Coherent Detection

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. BRKSPG-2116 Cisco Public

Improve OSNR Performance with FEC

24

FEC extends reach and design flexibility, at “silicon cost”

G.709 standard improves OSNR tolerance by 6.2 dB (at 10–15 BER)

Offers intrinsic performance monitoring

(error statistics)

Higher gains (8.4dB) possible by enhanced

FEC (with same G.709 overhead) OSNR

OTN (G.709) Hierarchy and Frame Structures

32

OTN defined a fixed “hierarchy” of payloads

OTN started as a pure wrapper around WDM client signals to improve reach and manageability.

Recently it has developed into a complex multiplexing structure.

ODU-Flex allows flexible sub wavelength grooming.

Frame Payload (OPU)

ODU-0 1,238,954 kbps

OTU-1 2,488,320 kbps

OTU-2 9,995,276 kbps

OTU-3 40,150,519 kbps

Why OTN?

Legacy Client Services - Today

Predominantly 10G DWDM systems

SONET/SDH Client Systems 10G with no plans or need for additional capacity

Packet Services growing rapidly and stressing 10G DWDM systems

40G/100G DWDM Upgrades

Fixes the demand and fiber exhaust issues

More capacity per lambda

NEW ROADM TRENDS with NCS 2000

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. BRKSPG-2116 Cisco Public

ROADM Background

44

ROADM brought flexibility to DWDM networks.

Any wavelength. Anywhere.

But it was a static flexibility.

Moves and changes required a truck roll.

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. BRKSPG-2116 Cisco Public

ROADM Background

45

Colored Add/Drop

Fixed port frequency assignment

One unique frequency per port

Directional Add/Drop

Physical add/drop port is tied to a

ROADM “degree”

Due to these restrictions, a change in direction or frequency of an optical circuit required a

physical change (move interface to different port) at the endpoints.

… because ROADM ports were colored and directional.

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. BRKSPG-2116 Cisco Public

ROADM Advances

46

Colorless Add/Drop

No port-frequency assignment

Any frequency, any port

Omni-Directional Add/Drop

Add/Drop ports can be routed to/from

any ROADM degree

Colorless and Omni-directional add/drop bring touchless

flexibility, and hence programmability, to ROADM networks.

With Colorless plus Omni-Directional, the frequency and direction of the signal can be changed,

without requiring a change of ROADM add/drop port.

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. BRKSPG-2116 Cisco Public

ROADM Advances

47

Directional Add/Drop

ROADMs are by definition

Contentionless

With Contentionless, N instances of a given wavelength (where N = the number of line

degrees in the ROADM node) can be add/dropped from a single device, eliminating

any restrictions on dynamic wavelength provisioning.

Contentionless allows multiple

instances of the same frequency to

add/drop from one unit.

But…Colorless and Omni-directional introduce wavelength

contention at the add/drop stage. Need a Contentionless

architecture.

Different Modulation Techniques Accommodates different BW and Distance Needs

49

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. BRKSPG-2116 Cisco Public

Flexible Modulation Designs

Trunk interfaces with programmable modulation schemes will be available

Interface could support 50G BPSK, 100G QPSK, 200G 16-QAM, and 250G 16-QAM

Design algorithm will choose modulation schemes to minimize interface/regenerator count

Design algorithm also ensures that, e.g. 5 x 100G are never loaded on 2 x 250G

50G BPSK will only be used on paths bearing solely 10G demands (and hence will be sparingly used)

Use same models as single-rate QPSK, and contrast

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. BRKSPG-2116 Cisco Public

MacFlex Concept

NG-DWDM interface enables reach vs payload bandwidth trade off.

– Optimize modulation format for required network performance – BPSK

– QPSK

– 8QAM

– 16QAM

– 64QAM

– Available payload bandwidth per wavelength ranges widely.

LAG

– Inefficient and not granular enough

Adjust Mac layer with 5GBps granularity

Key Takeaways

Tunable optics and Colorless and allow changing wavelength with no physical re-cabling

Omni-directional allows changing direction with no physical re-cabling

Allow for any to any switching in the optical domain

Allow for dynamic re-routing in the optical domain

Flexible modulation, spectrum and mac flex allow for anywhere, any rate

Converge layers to increase link utilization

Use the C-band spectrum to it’s full capacity

• If rapid failure detection and recovery is needed it is

assumed that existing packet IP/ MPLS mechanisms

(e.g., BFD, IP-FRR, TE-FRR,LDP-FRR, mLDP-FRR,

fast convergence) will be used for protection and

recovery.

• IP+Optical Solutions can use Proactive Protection

• Protected services (Y-cable, PSM, FiberSwitch) could

be used for valuable traffic to provide rapid protection

at the optical layer.

• Restoration is Best Effort.

Restoration is Slower than Protection

Basis for nLight Control Plane

73

The solution to these problems are simple

If the client layer knows basic information from the server layer: SRLG, latency…

To-date, this information is invisible to the client layer We need to allow for information sharing between Client and Server

Information Flowing through nLight with GMPLS UNI

When signalling a circuit, a client may request

– server SRLG’s to be excluded or included

– the path to follow another Circuit-ID

– the path to be disjoint from another Circuit-ID

– an optimization upon shortest latency

– a bound on latency not to exceed

– an optimization upon lowest optical cost

– optical restoration

– optical re-optimization

75

Information Flowing through nLight

For each circuit it signals, a client may be informed of

– Circuit-ID – unique identifier in server context

– SRLG’s along the circuit

– Latency through the server network

– Path through the server network

Information continuously refreshed

A client may be informed of server

topology/resource

Policy Controlled by the Server Layer

nLight Control Plane Resolves the Inefficiencies

Efficient IP/MPLS FRR

– thanks to SRLG discovery

Enforcement of disjointess or same-path requirements

– thanks to SRLG/Circuit-ID disjointness

Efficient diagnostics

– latency discovery

Efficient operation

– multi-layer maintenance coordination

BB1 BB2 Premium: 30G

BE: 90G

3x 100G Worst-case stable:

120G on 300G

Avg IP util: 120/300= 47%%

BB1 BB2 Premium: 30G

BE: 90G

Worst-case transient:

120G on 200G. BE loss

Avg IP util: 120/200= 60%=

Worst-case stable:

120G on 100G: possible BE

loss= 60%

In a real SP network: 10-34% less interfaces (less router ports, less transponders, less wavelengths, less power, more scale)

What is Multi Layer Restoration (MLR) Concept?

87

Three Types:

MLR–O: Multilayer Restoration From Optical Failure

- allows the router to negotiate with the optical layer on which contraints

it cares about

MLR-P: Multilayer Restoration from Port Failure

- allows the router to change the port that originates the circuit

MLR-A: Multilayer Restoration from IP Aggregation Node Failure

- allows the router to change the destination node

Improving Link and System Utilization

Lambda Utilization

– In today’s model, the DWDM layer is the convergence layer

– DWDM is trending to the highest cost component of the network

– Increasing fill rates on lambdas will be a critical means of reducing cost

– Need to support both circuit and packet abstractions in the same lambda

Multiple functions per shelf increases slot fill rate

Hybrid line cards support carrying diverse service types on a single lambda

Hybrid Fabrics allowing fabric sharing for circuit and packet switching

nLight optimization allows increased utilization on links and eliminates need for multi-layer protection bandwidth

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. BRKSPG-2116 Cisco Public

Layer Convergence Concept

Eliminate a box per function in the network – Collapse OTN, DWDM and IP/MPLS into a single node

– Collapse peering, core, lean core and edge into a single node

Following functions available as line cards in NCS systems – Transponder, OTN Switching, IP/MPLS, Core, Edge, Peering

Optimize traffic flow with layer integration –

Any service anywhere lowers the barriers to new service adoption and turn up
