MPLS-TP VALUE FOR UTILITIES NETWORKS

Strictly connection oriented Transport like protection Transport like OAM Transport like operation

Critical for low latency, low jitter and accurate timing

LABEL SWITCHING

A path from source to destination is determined and a “label” is applied to it

NEs Along the path, use the label to forward the traffic without any additional IP lookups

Value for Utilities:Deterministic performance = path is known and fixed

MPLS-TP OBJECTIVES “To enable MPLS to be deployed in a

transport network and operated in a similar manner to existing transport technologies (SDH/SONET/OTN)”

“To enable MPLS to support packet transport services with a similar degree of predictability, reliability, and OAM to that found in existing transport networks”

Defined jointly by IETF and ITU-T

(MPLS Transport Profile Framework)

MPLS-TP

MPLS TP is both a subset and an extension of IP/MPLS to meet transport requirements

Common – Packet forwarding

Added – Transport like OAM, protection, operation

Discarded – Features that hurt deterministic performance or that are not connection oriented

SUMMARY OF MPLS-TP ADVANTAGES

IP/MPLS

Data Plane Bidirectional LSPs No LSP merging, ECMP or PHP

Control Plane Optional NMS static control Separated from data plane

OAM In band OAM channel Proactive transport grade OAM

Protection and Resiliency Sub 50 msec protection switch

for any topology

14

ECI Proprietary 15

TELEPROTECTION EXAMPLECritical to keep the following attributes over the communication channel:Low latency Low jitter (latency variation) Same latency in both

directions Accurate timing

MPLS-TP deterministic Bi-directional paths keep latency and jitter low and symmetric

COMMON AGREEMENT ON IP/MPLS TRANSPORT GAPS

The need for:

DISAGREEMENT ON HOW TO BRIDGE THE GAPS

Guaranteed Deterministic Inherent support

Good enough Low risk Follow the rules

Bi-directional LSPs

Resource reservation

Guaranteed <50 ms switch over

WHAT CAN GO WRONG?

Failing to follow the strict design rules Changes in network topology Human error Inherent increase in security vulnerability

TAKING RISKS

Two reasons worth the risk: Fun, adrenalin Great savings (time, money)

MINIMIZING RISKS IS ALWAYS A GOOD HABIT

ECI Proprietary 19

RISKS MANAGEMENT

Is it worth the risk for mission critical networks?

What are the great benefits you gain?

Rule of Thumb - Don’t introduce unnecessary risks to mission critical networks

…especially when there is such a good alternative…

BEING A CONSERVATIVE IS NOT ALWAYS NEGATIVE

MURPHY’S LAWS

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that

will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong A falling object will always land where it can do the most damage.
