the June 1999 meeting

4 、 Recommendation X.85/Y.1321) was approved at March 2000

meeting,

2 、 High efficiency in the POS line card of router

3 、 Function equivalent to PPP/HDLC

4 、 Performance of Carrier concern

5 、 Compatibility with PPP/HDLC

6 、 Test equipment (share POS)

Why LAPS (X.85)

Note: PPP is widely deployed in networks around the world and has been

updated and extended over the last 14 years. These slices just emphases a

simple LAPS method of high-speed link (e.g. POS) and also provide

compatibility with PPP/HDLC.

Why LAPS (X.85)

When the PPP is used to be encapsulated via SAPI for the compatibility with RFC 2615, it is noted:

(1)Both FCS-32 and FCS-16 can be set by provisioning and is not negotiated. The 32-bit FCS must be used for all SDH rates. For STM-1c/VC-4 only, the 16-bit FCS may be used, although the 32-bit FCS is recommended.

(2)Regarding the path signal label (C2) of SDH, for compatibility with RFC 2615, the signal label value of (x43 + 1) scrambling is changed from 24 (18 hex) to 22 (16 hex). Additionally, the LAPS does also provide the signal label value 207 (CF hex) to indicate PPP without scrambling.

(3)The data link will be operated as RFC 2615 defines and the Address field is set to “11111111”, the padding field followed information field and the functions of Link Control Protocol and Network Control Protocol will be included.

Understand GFP

•HEC inherits from ITU-T Rec. I.432 ， Octet based spec.

• ATM is L2/L3 technologies, based on connection and fixed packet size (cell), IP as a ATM client is flexible rate for the IP over ATM applications in the most case; GFP is L1/L2 technologies, based on connectionless and variable packet size. For the L1-GFP, FE/GE as a GFP client is rigid rate for the Ethernet over SDH applications in the most case

• In terms of PDH(E1/T1/E3/E4), Jumbo Payload size of IPv6 can be greater to 64Kbits length due to GFP-PLI is 2-Octet definition (216bits=64Kbits=8Kbytes) ？ If PLI is changed to 3-octet or more, how to keep compatibility with existing GFP standard

• Flow control ？ Rate adaptation?

Understand GFP

Why Flow control? Why Rate adaptation?

(2)No difference is applied for the two time-slice (TS) if Ethernet data stream is mapped into VC overhead or/and VC payload during two different time-slice

Comparison of Measurement

LAPS & GFP

• Flow-control and rate adaptation are very useful for BW mismatch between Ethernet and SDH VC (or concatenation) and time-slice difference between VC overhead and VC payload

• Application of Both SDH and PDH(E1/T1/E3/E4) for LAPS, Both SDH and PDH(DS3) for GFP

• High efficiency

• LAPS is compatible with POS and PPP/HDLC

• LAPS Idle(Flag) has good performance for line-speed Ethernet over SDH/SONET applications

• X.86 was approved ten months earlier than that of GFP

(just like PVC)

Station B

What is MSR(2)

• Focus on Metro

• Sync. to async., TDM to packet, Physical transmission from SDH/SONET to MAC, High-order VC and Lower-order VC to tributary (packet)

• MSPP/MSTP from TDM based to packet based

• Push multi-service transport issue to LLC(L2)

Basic Consideration(1)

• Differentiated SLA, controllable and configurable service operation

• Static and dynamic resource management

• Both connection and connectionless

• Bridge and back-to-back connection between MSR/RPRs

• Lower cost and little maintenance

Basic Consideration(2)

differentiates RPR transport capabilities and provides multi-congeneric-service and multi-heterogeneous-service transport including Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, FR, G.702 PDH circuit -- Synchronous and asynchronous circuit transport, Video signal, voice-band signal, Digital channel etc.

Why MSR(1)

Differentiates RPR ring protection function and provides service (or tributary) based standby (protection) of 1+1, 1:1, and 1:N models within 50 ms.

Why MSR(2)

Reassembly a single packet based multicast and broadcast of RPR to form service (stream) multicast and broadcast capabilities, and provide Service (or tributary) based multicast and broadcast.

Why MSR(3)

Adding bandwidth management function for each service (tributary) and provides service bandwidth management with either symmetry or asymmetry.

Why MSR(4)

Adding bandwidth merging function for congeneric-service (congeneric-tributary) and provides tributary merging with either symmetry or asymmetry.

Why MSR(5)

Adding the simple security filtering function for each tributary service and provides line-rate filtering to monitor and manage service security.

Why MSR(6)

Adding the performance management function for each tributary service and provides tributary performance monitoring in 15-minute and 24-hour.

Why MSR(7)

•QoS Guarantee

•Customers separation

•Addresses separation

•Topologies separation

Why MSR(8)

Topology supported

•Two fiber ring

•Link

•Broadcast topology
