1. 1 Introduction http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2010/liaison-nfinn-split-horizon-vid-filtering-0710-v04.pdf http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2010/liaison-nfinn-split-horizon-vid-filtering-0710-v04.pdf describes in pages 19 and 20 the Optimal distribution of data: Non-802.1aq and Using VIDs for manually configured optimum data distribution The following slides expand the description in those two pages with Multi (e.g. 2) domain E-LAN example 1 root and 2 roots E-Tree examples Internal node configuration details for E-LAN and E-Tree cases, including Relay VIDs and switch configurations Egress filtering Egress and ingress VID translation, Per domain local VID values Per link local VID values (used in transport networks) Primary VID values in MEPs and MIPs v02 adds some E-Tree cases, corrections of some mistakes in v01, an evaluation of UP and Down MEP/MIP primary VID values and support of those multi-VID models in G.8021 v03 includes some corrections in the B1 and B2 node expansion figures on slides 5,17,20,26 v04 includes G.8021 functional models for nodes B1 to B5 for E-LAN, 2 nd type E-Tree, 3 rd type E-Tree and 4 th type E-Tree in slides 31 to 43; while developing those slides it was noticed that it is possible to enhance the egress filtering for the 2 nd, 3 rd and 4 th E-Tree cases; this is also reflected in slides 14-15, 17-18 and 20-21. In addition, interworking cases between nodes with split-horizon port group designs and nodes with multi-vid designs for E-LAN and 2 nd type E-Tree are illustrated in slides 45-46.

A requirement in transport networks.

7. 7 Security in transport networks In the previous E-LAN examples ingress VID Translation is not deployed at all input ports (e.g. not on P20 in slide 6, not on P20, P21, P23, P24, P25 on slide 4) With the Ingress Filtering parameter for the ports set to disabled those VLAN connections are not secured; frames arriving on other input ports of e.g. node B2 with a local VID value V, Ia or Ib can enter the E-LAN VLAN (see Red dashed lines) This security issue is resolved when ingress VID translation is deployed at every input port This prevents that frames with unexpected local VID values can access the port and intrude the VLANs B2 Ia V SVL Ia V Ib V Ia V V Ib P24; Ingress Filtering = Disabled P20; Ingress Filtering = Disabled P21; Ingress Filtering = Disabled Ib Ia Ib P25; Ingress Filtering = Disabled Ib V Ia V Ib V Ia Ib Ia Ib V V V Ia V P23; Ingress Filtering = Disabled

8. 8 VID Translation for E-LAN (2 domains) example When using different VID values on the links between nodes it is required to identify the ports which form a group and ports which are individual All individual ports must be associated with a relay VID (R-VID) value identifying Individual ports Ports which form a group must be associated with a R-VID value identifying that group Administration of individual ports and grouped ports is done via the Ingress VID Translation tables in each port (see next slide for example) For node B2 the following applies: Group 1: (P21,P23): R-VID: Ia Group 2: (P24,P25): R-VID: Ib Individual: P20: R-VID: V For node B5: Group 1: (P52,P54): R-VID: I Individual: P50,P55: R-VID: V B1 B2 B3 P21 P23 P32 P31 P13 P12 P10 P20 P30 C12 C2 C3 C52 C11 C51 P11 B4B5 P24 P25 P52 P54 P42 P45 P50 P40 C4 P55 VID: R VID: Q VID: P VID: M VID: L VID: K VID: A VID: B VID: C VID: D VID: E VID: F VID: G

10. 10 Port Group concept in transport networks The logical concept of a Port Group could be maintained in a transport network as a configuration element in the manually configured optimum data distribution for E-LAN connection management Each port in a node in such E-LAN is marked as either an Individual Port or as a port in a Port Group #i (i1) The ports in a Port Group will see their local VID values translated into a common relay VID value in the ingress VID translation process Relay VID values for the individual and the port group ports have a node local scope; each node can select those values independent of other nodes

11. 11 E-Tree

12. 12 E-Tree types There are four types of E-Tree Unidirectional P2MP E-Tree (outside scope of this document) Bidirectional RMP E-Tree with single root and individual leaves Bidirectional RMP E-Tree with multiple roots and individual leaves Bidirectional RMP E-Tree with multiple roots, individual leaves and one or more leaf groups The 4 th type requires the use of the largest set of relay VID values and local VID values Relay VIDs identify the frames source and potential set of destination ports: R, I, V G1 to V GN Local VIDs identify the frames source port: root, individual leaf, leaf group #i The 2 nd type requires the use of two relay VID values (R, I) and one local VID value per link Local VID identifies in the frames source port: root, individual leaf Ingress VID translation converts local VID value to appropriate relay VID value Egress VID translation converts both relay VID values to same local VID value The 3 rd type requires the use of two relay VID values (R, I) and one or two local VID values per link Local VID values can not be pruned to single value on the links between the root ports Next slides illustrate the 2 nd, 3 rd and 4 th E-Tree types and their configuration details from the viewpoint of a transport network

45. 45 E-LAN interworking example Nodes designed according to the split-horizon port group model are able to interwork with nodes designed according to the multi-vid model Nodes B1, B2, B4 could be using split-horizon port groups (SH) Nodes B3, B5 could be using multi-vid model (MV) Both node types deploy a common Local VID approach, which guarantees interworking between these two node types Note – Any other combination of SH and MV node types also interworks B1 SH B2 SH B3 MV P21 P23 P32 P31 P13 P12 P10 P20 P30 C12 C2 C3 C52 C11 C51 P11 B4 SH B5 MV P24 P25 P52 P54 P42 P45 P50 P40 C4 P55 VID: R VID: Q VID: P VID: M VID: L VID: K VID: A VID: B VID: C VID: D VID: E VID: F VID: G

47. 47 E-Tree, 3 rd and 4 th types interworking The 3 rd and 4 th type E-Tree cases can not be supported by means of split-horizon port groups. As such, there is no interworking requirement for multi-vid designs of those two E- Tree cases.
