35. Service Assured Networking - Operational Core Network
Operational network traditionally based on SDH/SONET
Carrier Ethernet is ideal for replacing SDH/SONET for operational applications, offering various advantages over IP/MPLS:
Simplified architecture and management
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Increased security
Lower latency
Assured QoS using CE tools
Ongoing performance monitoring
Teleprotection
RTU
Carrier Ethernet
NMS
Substation
PBX
The operational network is traditionally based on SDH/SONET. Typical applications include SCADA, Teleprotection & Automation
L3 (IP/MPLS) is often promoted as a relevant technology for the operational network but its fundamentals make it optimal for IT/Enterprise network applications such as VoIP, IP video, internet connectivity, billing etc and not for mission critical operational needs
A Carrier Ethernet Layer 2 network is ideal for replacing over time the SDH/SONET for the operational applications, as it offers:
Simplified architecture and management
Increased security
Lower latency
Assured QoS using carrier Ethernet tools
Ongoing performance monitoring
IP is usually discussed in the context of the user information interface, but in some cases, it can be used as a transport network. The IP suite does not define lower layers, and thus must run over Ethernet, OTN, SDH/SONET (PoS – Packet over SDH/SONET), etc. Similarly, IP does not provide standard OAM or APS mechanisms, rather leveraging its native routing protocols. However, these are not always rapid enough to meet stringent availability requirements. IP has a strong security component called IPsec, which can provide authentication, integrity, and confidentiality mechanisms, but at a relatively high operational cost.
MPLS was originally devised as a method to accelerate IP forwarding, and to enable provisioning of QoS and VPN services for IP traffic. Being part of the IP suite, MPLS does not define lower layers, relying (like IP) on Ethernet, OTN, PoS, etc. MPLS did not originally have the OAM or APS mechanisms needed for a transport network, but these have been recently developed as part of the MPLS transport profile, known as MPLS-TP. MPLS was designed as a core network technology, and thus, like SDH/SONET and OTN, has very few security mechanisms. Although MPLS-TP enables MPLS to extend beyond the core, to date there has been little work on MPLS security.
Ethernet, as described earlier in this paper, was originally a LAN technology but has developed into a carrier-grade network with OAM and APS features. While Ethernet defines a native physical layer from 10 Mbps up to 100 Gbps, Ethernet frames can also be transported over other physical layers (e.g., OTN) and over MPLS via pseudowires. Ethernet has several security-specific features, including the widely implemented IEEE 802.1X and emerging MACsec (see Chapter 5: Security for further information).
Best evolutional, resilient & secured solution for the operational Network

36. is a unified, carrier-class management platform composed of three major management elements:
Element Management Level (FCAPS)
Performance Monitoring Portal
Network Service Manager
EMS: based on zoom application : intuitive GUI application for easy management of the network elements (RAD products)
NMS: enabling network wide visibility of the inventory, element discovery, fault management and automated tasks such as backup and restore, version upgrades and configuration management.
PM: a management element that enables monitoring of Ethernet network characteristics (delay, jitter, packet loss..) in order to monitor and avoid SLA violations
SMS: an easy point and click service establishment across networks

50. Hardware OAM vs. Software OAM
Feature
Software OAM
Hardware OAM
Benefits of Hardware-Powered OAM
OAM agility X √
OAM rate only limited by line speed
Multi-flow monitoring
Monitor multiple concurrent flows simultaneously (large number of MEPs)
Fast detection of connectivity failure
Fast failure restoration <50msec
Measurements of real frames as well as synthetic frames
Detects loss of even a single frame
Accurate measurement of delay and delay variation
Provides accurate FD/FDV measurements (nano second resolution)
Loopback at line rate
Allow line rate loopback for all MTU sizes, plus PRBS support
We have spoken quite a bit about OAM, but it is important to note that OAM implementations vary with most of the switches, routers and demarcation devices implementing S/W-based OAM where OAM messages are typically forwarded to the CPU for processing. More powerful platforms such as RAD’s ETX demarcation device and EXFO’s verifier implement ultra-fast H/W powered OAM processing that provides the following benefits:
• Scalable, flow-level monitoring, where hundreds of OAM sessions can be monitored concurrently
• Immediate detection of loss of continuity (LOC), ensuring under 50 ms protection switching
• Highly accurate frame loss measurements with live traffic testing
• Loopback testing at line rate.
