1 Terminology: Segment Protection M Vinod Kumar Abhay Karandikar

Topology This port has FDB entry such that the two ESPs egress from the same port These two ports though have shared forwarding towards node 5, do not have shared forwarding for traffic from node 5

Infrastructure Traffic over this Link/LAN can be protected using backup resources comprising of: LAN 3-6, LAN 6-4 and node 6 6 Backup resources

Infrastructure Segment Primary Infrastructure Segment (resources shown in violet colour) 6 Protection Domain Backup Infrastructure Segment (resources shown in cream colour)

Infrastructure Segment Protection Primary Infrastructure Segment has its own fault monitoring mechanism 6 Infrastructure Segment Protection Domain Backup Infrastructure Segment has its own fault monitoring mechanism

ISP OAM The P-IS fault monitoring is independent of TESI fault-monitoring/OAM 6 The B-IS fault monitoring is independent of TESI fault-monitoring/OAM Infrastructure Segment Protection Domain

P-IS Fault and Protection Fault here will forward the traffic over backup infrastructure segment 6 Infrastructure Segment Protection Domain TESIs are pre-provisioned along the Backup Infrastructure Segment for sub-50ms protection switching

Data Path Fault If TESI is misconfigured on node 3 or 4 such that it does not flow over link 3-4, it is data-path fault; it is out-side the scope 6 TESI or Data-path mis- configuration is outside the scope of ISP Infrastructure Segment Protection (ISP) Domain

Example of Data-path Segments Examples of Data path segment- It is configuration that enables flow of TESI 6 Infrastructure Segment Protection (ISP) Domain

More Example of Unprotected IS Example of Infrastructure Segment that cannot protect the TESIs 6

Types of Segments There are two types of Segments 1.Infrastructure Segment – LANs and intervening bridge – Has its own Segment OAM 2.Data Path Segment – Forwarding information configured on the bridges – Has its own E2E OAM

Types of Segment Protection Therefore we have two types of segment protection Infrastructure Segment Protection (ISP) – Protection from failure of LANs and intervening bridges Data-path Segment Protection (DSP) – Protection from misconfiguration of TESI or Data- path

Some Points to be Noted Segment Protection is not a replacement for e2e TESI protection Primary reason- infrastructure failure in certain parts of the network – Some links/nodes/LANs are more prone to failure – SPS will be enabled for only these links/nodes/LANs
