Delivering Carrier Ethernet Services

Jon Lundstrom

WSTA 2007

Objectives
> Network evolution drivers and new revenue opportunities
> What is 802.1ah (PBB) and 802.1Qay (PBB-TE) ? > How will new Ethernet OAM standards help carriers? > Networking Architecture Considerations > What about MPLS?

Market Drivers Dictate Requirements in Todays Era of Hyperconnectivity

Demands on the Network > 1 Trillion networked devices within 15 years > 10 devices per person by 2010 > IPTV, VOD, and more drive bandwidth demand of 60%+ per year over next 5 years > Millions of service instances per metro, all with varying bandwidth and QoS demands

Networking Requirements > Service scalability Tens of thousands of subscribers per metro/region > Network scalability - >10 Mbps services per subscriber

> Carrier Grade infrastructure Reliable, Secure, QoS aware


> Network efficiency Point to point, multicast/broadcast

> Multiple service traffic patterns per metro, requiring new thinking to be transported efficiently

> Simplified operational paradigm that converges systems and processes

One Network, All Services


Business Services Triple Play

Wireless Backhaul

>ELINE, ELAN, ETREE >Data transport and storage >Efficient multicast distribution

>Traffic engineering for low latency/ loss /jitter >Efficient broadcast distribution >PSTN 5 9s resiliency for Voice and Video >High bandwidth demands 100s of SD/HD channels

>Traffic engineering for low latency/ loss /jitter >Scalability to support 100s of channels of HD >PSTN 5 9s resiliency

One Converged network for all services

Metro Marketplace
2004-2007 Landscape The world is migrating to packet to address next-generation needs:
> > > > Lowest cost per bit transport (CAPEX/OPEX) Scalable and flexible services with SLAs Traffic engineering & resource reservation High level of resiliency

Everyone wants Ethernet to meet these needs:


> > > > Fact 1: Ethernet is the physical interface
Cant beat per port costs, bandwidth, simplicity

Fact 2: L2 Ethernet services taking over the metro:


corporate services, residential TV, wireless backhaul are all flavors of Ethernet P2P, A2A or PMP services

Fact 3: Ethernet over any media, Any service over Ethernet Fact 4: Legacy Ethernet does not meet all next-generation needs

There are several options to deliver Ethernet services. Which is the best way?

Network Architecture Considerations


What do you have now?
Existing Services?
Business services over TDM/FR/ATM Residential services (HSD, IPTV) over xDSL or PON

PBB/PBT can help by:


Migrate to Ethernet services before competitors do Cost effective Ethernet Transport of Residential services A PBB/PBT overlay can offload data traffic from SONET network, hence extending life of existing network for TDM growth New Ethernet services = new revenue Efficient multicast of video content Low latency required for 4G basestations that require 10/100/GE connectivity One network, all services Evolving the network with the operational model your operators know and love.
Less re-training Similar tool suite of OAM capabilities

Capacity crunched?
Scarce capacity due to data traffic growth

Where do you want to go?


New Services?
Business Ethernet, Storage, etc Residential Triple Play, HD Wholesale Wireless Backhaul

Converged infrastructure?

How will you get there?


Cap and Grow vs. Overlay Operational Evolution or Revolution? Processes/Re-training/Support?

What about MPLS?


PBB/PBT and MPLS are complimentary technologies
> Consistency is its own reward
MPLS operates on Ethernet and PBB / PBT is Ethernet . Network Interworking just works

> Extend the MPLS network with Ethernet simplicity and scalability
Reduce control plane requirements at the edge of the network where it has the most impact

> PBB/PBT edge becomes simple, low cost infrastructure for all layer 2/3 services Other Considerations > Does it make sense to deploy the complexity and cost of MPLS in a metro or regional network? > What skill set is required to engineer and operate an MPLS metro?
