2.3 Built-in WDM Technology

The OptiX OSN 3500 provides a two-channel optical add/drop multiplexing board
MR2A and an arbitrary bit rate wavelength conversion board LWX to realize built-in
WDM technology. There are two types of MR2 boards: the MR2A board and the
MR2C board. They are identical in function but installed in different slots. These
boards have the following characteristics:
„ The MR2 board adds/drops two adjacent standard wavelengths compliant with
ITU-T G.692 (DWDM), with signals transmitted transparently and operating
wavelength ranging from 1535.82 nm to 1560.61 nm.
„ The MR2 board serves as an OTM station adding/dropping two channels of
signals.
„ Two MR2 boards connected in serial can form an OTM station adding/dropping
four channels.
„ The MR2 board can work with the LWX to form an OADM station adding/dropping
two channels of signals.
„ The LWX board converts client-side signals into ITU-T G.692 (DWDM) compliant
standard wavelength signals and transmit the signals transparently.
„ The LWX board provides 3R function to client-side uplink/downlink signals (at the
rate of 10 Mbit/s–2.7 Gbit/s), performs clock recovery and monitors its rate.
„ Two types of LWX boards are available: one is single-fed single receiving, and the
other is dual-fed signal selection.
„ The dual-fed signal selection LWX board supports intra-board protection, realizing
optical channel protection with one board. The protection switching time is less
than 50ms.
„ The single-fed single receiving LWX board supports inter-board protection, that is,
1+1 inter-board hot backup protection. The protection switching time is less than
50ms.

2.7.2 Network Level Protection

The OptiX OSN 3500 is a multi add/drop multiplexer (MADM) system. It can process
up to 40 embedded control channels (ECCs). It supports some complicated network
topologies at STM-1/STM-4/STM-16/STM-64 level, such as chain, ring, hub, ring with
chain, tangent rings and intersection rings.
In terms of the network level protection, the OptiX OSN 3500 supports 4-fiber/2-fiber
multiplex section protection (MSP) ring, linear MSP, MS-shared optical path protection
and sub-network connection protection (SNCP). Table 2-9 shows the MS protection
ring types supported by the OptiX OSN 3500 and the maximum number of each type.

Note: Only supports one of the maximum number of MS rings protection listed above at a time.

2.7.3 Adjustable MS Bandwidth

In terms of MSP, the OptiX OSN 3500 supports bandwidth adjustment by VC-4, that is,
for an STM-64 ring, its MS bandwidth can change from one VC-4 to 32 VC-4s. And for
an STM-16 ring, its MS bandwidth can change from one VC-4 to eight VC-4s.
2.7.4 Upgrading MS Bandwidth

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

2-11
OptiX OSN 3500
Technical Manual - System Description 2 Functions

The OptiX OSN 3500 supports MS bandwidth upgrading which is non-service

affecting. For example, we can upgrade an STM-16 MSP ring to an STM-64 MSP ring.
2.7.5 Squelching Function in Multiplex Section
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the function of squelching misconnected VC-4 traffic.
Each protection time slot in a multiplex section protection ring is shared by the traffic
from different segments or occupied by extra traffic. With no extra traffic in the ring,
and under the situation that a certain node is isolated because of multiple points’
failure, the traffic from different segments of the same time slot may contend for the
same protection channel time slot. This brings misconnection of traffic. With extra
traffic in the ring, and even under the situation of a single node’s failure, the traffic from
the working channel may also contend for the time slot of protection channel carrying
extra traffic. This also brings misconnection.
To prevent misconnection, every node of the OptiX OSN 3500 has a detailed
connection table. Every node knows the source and sink point of each VC-12, VC-3,
or VC-4 (VC-12 or VC-3 connections must have the same source and sink). Such
information helps APS protocol to tell possible misconnections in advance. Traffic with
the potentiality of misconnection is discarded through inserting TU_AIS or AU_AIS.
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the squelching of misconnected VC-12, VC-3 and
VC-4 traffic in 2-fiber or 4-fiber MS ring protection. VC-12 or VC-3 connections must
have the same source and sink.

2.8 TCM
Tandem Connection Monitor (TCM) is a method monitoring bit errors. If a VC-4
passes through several networks, the bit errors of each section can be monitored
through TCM.
As shown in Figure 2-5, a VC-4 passes through three networks. Bit errors may exits in
any one of the three networks. Errors can be located very soon through the TCM
function.
The N2SLQ1, N2SLQ4 and N2SL16 boards support TCM at VC-4 level.

2.9 NM Information Interworking

2.9.1 Interworking at Physical Layer
1. NM Information Transparently Transmitted by a Third Party Equipment
The DCC consists of two parts. One is the D1–D3 bytes, providing DCC with the rate
of 192 kbit/s. The other is the D4–D12 bytes, providing DCC with the rate of 576 kbit/s.
Currently, only the D1–D3 bytes are used. The D4–D12 bytes are reserved for higher
management requirements.
When there is a third party equipment between the OptiX OSN 3500 systems, the
bytes D4–D12 will be used by the third party equipment to transmit the NM information,
as shown in Figure 2-6.

2.9.2 Interworking at Network Layer

1. IP Over DCC
The scheme of IP over DCC uses the network layer protocol for NM information
transmission. It is required that the gateway NE, external DCN and element
management system (EMS) all support IP, thus the network composed of the third
party equipment and that composed of equipment of Huawei (such as the OptiX OSN
3500) can form a DCN.
IP over DCC has two networking topologies as shown in Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9.

2. OSI over DCC(TP4)

Some network vendors have adopted the OSI protocol stacks for DCC
communication. OptiX OSN products support the scheme of OSI over DCC to
interwork NM information at the network layer.
OSI over DCC adopts standard OSI protocols (also called TP4) to transmit NM
information at network layer. Thus, the GNE, DCN and EMS should support TP4
protocol, so that the network composed of the third party equipment and the network
composed of Huawei equipment (such as the OptiX OSN 3500) form a DCN based on
standard TP4 protocol. Figure 2-10 shows the TP4 protocol stack supported by OptiX
OSN products. At the network layer, OptiX OSN products adopt IS-IS protocol for
interworking with OSI protocol of other vendors’ equipment.

Note:
The OSI protocols as stated in ITU-T G.784 and GR253 are 7-layer protocols. For
OptiX OSN products, only the lower four-layer protocols, namely those under the TP4
layer, are used. Since the services are forwarded at layer 3, OptiX OSN products can
interwork with other vendors’ equipment at the network layer.

For OSI over DCC, there are two networking modes.

„ One is the NM information of the OptiX OSN 3500 is transparently transmitted by
the third party equipment through OSI over DCC, as shown in Figure 2-11.
„ The other is the NM information of the third party equipment is transparently

6.1.2 Application
The OptiX OSN 3500 integrates the access of Ethernet services on the SDH
transmission platform, so it can transmit both the voice service and data service.

1. EPL Service
EPL implements the point-to-point transparent transmission of Ethernet services. As
shown in Figure 6-1, the Ethernet services of different NEs are transmitted to the
destination node through their respective VCTRUNKs. The Ethernet service is
provided with a perfect SDH self-healing ring (SHR) protection scheme, and its
reliable transmission is thus guaranteed.

2. EVPL Service with VLAN Capability

EVPL services are isolated through VLAN tags during bandwidth sharing. As shown in
Figure 6-2, flow classification is performed for the Ethernet service according to the
port and VLAN ID to distinguish different VLANs of Company A and B. Up to eight
IEEE802.1P-compliant priorities can be set according to the flow classification result.
For security purpose, the OptiX OSN 3500 isolates services of different users by
VLAN. In the figure below, VLAN 1 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 11
of Company B, VLAN 2 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 12 of Company
B, and VLAN 3 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 13 of Company B.
All services of Company A are converged to NE1 and output from the FE/GE interface
of the NE1, and then are sent to the Lanswitch for further processing.

3. EVPL Service with MPLS Capability

The OptiX OSN 3500 adopts the Martini modes to construct the multi-protocol label
switching (MPLS) Layer 2 VPN and provide EVPL service.
The EVPL service offers point-to-point connection and implements service
convergence for users. As shown in Figure 6-3, the system will search the Port +
VLAN ID table for the external label (Tunnel) and internal label (VC), and add them to
the accessed Ethernet frames. Data transfer in the network is based on the MPLS
label, which switched at the label switch path (LSP). Then, the data will be transmitted
to the NE4 equipment, which strips the MPLS label and transfers the data to the
corresponding port. The OptiX OSN 3500 integrates the function of P equipment and
PE equipment.

service, which can be transferred according to their destination media access control
(MAC) addresses.
As shown in Figure 6-4, respective LANs of Company A and B are connected to four
NEs. The Ethernet service between the NEs is not of a fixed point-to-point type. For
example, a user of Company A connecting to NE3 want to communicate with users of
Company A connecting to other three NEs. That is, the flow direction of services is not
definite. The Ethernet Layer 2 switching function provided by the OptiX OSN 3500 can
be employed to solve such a problem. For example, an Ethernet MAC address
transfer table will be formed in the system when the relevant settings are made to NE3.
The system can learn to periodically update the table. Then, the data of Company A
and B accessed at NE3 will be transmitted to their destinations over different
VCTRUNKs selected according to their MAC transfer table or over the same
VCTRUNK.
In this way, the system configuration is significantly simplified and the bandwidth utility
is improved. In addition, the corresponding maintenance and management becomes
convenient for the operator.

5. EVPLAN Service
The OptiX OSN 3500 adopts the Martini MPLS Layer 2 VPN encapsulation format to
support the Ethernet virtual private LAN (EVPLAN) service.
EVPLAN service implements the multipoint-to-multipoint connection of user sites.
Users regard the EVPLAN network as a big VLAN where the user service can be
converged. As shown in Figure 6-5, when the user’s Ethernet frame (the source
address is MAC H, and the destination address is MAC A, B or C) enters the PE
equipment, the system will search the Layer 2 transfer table for the internal label (VC
label). Then, the frame is transferred to the corresponding tunnel, where it is attached
the external label (tunnel label). Thus, different LSPs are set up according to different
addresses. The MPLS labels are switched at the LSP and then transferred to the
corresponding PE equipment, where the tunnel and VC labels are stripped. After that,
the Ethernet frame is transferred to the corresponding output port according to the

6.1.3 Protection
The Ethernet service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several
levels, including:
„ Protection of the spanning tree, LCAS and flow control
„ Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP

1. LCAS
LCAS provides an error tolerance mechanism, enhancing the reliability of virtual
concatenation. It has the following functions:
„ Configure the system capacity, add or reduce the number of VC involved in the
virtual concatenation and change the service bandwidth dynamically without
damaging the service.
„ Protect and recover failed members.
As shown in Figure 6-6, LCAS can add or delete members to increase or decrease
the bandwidth dynamically without affecting the service.

3. Flow Control
The Ethernet interface supports IEEE 802.3X flow control, minimizing the packet loss
caused by congestion. As shown in Figure 6-8, the node connecting with Ethernet in
duplex mode sends PAUSE frame to ask the receiving node to stop transmitting frame
signals within a pause-time (N seconds), so as to avoid frame loss.

6.2 RPR Features

This section introduces the RPR features of the OptiX OSN 3500 in terms of function,
application and protection.
6.2.1 Function
The EMR0 and EGR2 boards of the OptiX OSN 3500 supports resilient packet ring
(RPR) features defined by IEEE 802.17. RPR employs a dual-ring structure utilizing a
pair of unidirectional counter-rotating rings, as shown in Figure 6-9. Both the outer ring
and the inner ring bear data packets and control packets, featuring high bandwidth
utilization. The control packets on the inner ring carry control information for the data
packets on the outer ring, and the control packets on the outer ring carry control
information for the data packets on the inner ring. The two rings backup and protect for
each other.

3. Topology Discovery
The topology discovery function realizes the plug and play feature, for the function
provides reliable method to discover the network nodes and their variation. In this
case, the nodes of an RPR can be automatically added, deleted and switched.
There may be more than one EMR0 in equipment, so an NE may have more than one
RPR node. The plug and play feature allows adding or deleting nodes without
affecting the services on an RPR.
To increase or decrease the total bandwidth of an RPR, use the LCAS function. The
LCAS features adding and reducing bandwidth dynamically without affecting existing
services.

4. Spatial Reuse
The stripping of unicast frames at the destination station realizes spatial reuse on an
RPR. As shown in Figure 6-10, the bandwidth of a ring is 1.25 Gbit/s. Traffic 1
transferred from node 1 to node 4 is stripped from the ring at the destination node 4.
After the arrival of traffic 1 at node 4, traffic 2 can be transferred from node 4 to node 3,
by occupying the link capacity that would have been occupied by traffic 1 if it is not
stripped at node 4.

5. Fairness Algorithm
The outer ring and the inner ring of an RPR support independent weighted fairness
algorithm. The fairness algorithm assures access of the low-class B_EIR and C
services. The weight of the fairness algorithm is provisionable to decide the access
rate of a node. A node needs to set weights at the outer and the inner rings, and the
two weights decide the bandwidth of low-class services upon bandwidth contention.
As shown in Figure 6-11, the outer ring weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 are 1. Suppose the
available bandwidth on the outer ring for low-class services is 1.2 Gbit/s, the fairness
algorithm will allocate 400 Mbit/s for the low-class services from nodes 2, 3 and 4 to
node 1 respectively. Figure 6-12 shows a fairness algorithm with different weights: the
weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 on the outer ring are 1, 3 and 2 respectively. The fairness
algorithm allocates 200 Mbit/s for node 2, 600 Mbit/s for node 3 and 400 Mbit/s for
node 4.

6.2.2 Application
The EMR0 board supports the application of EVPL and EVPLAN services.

1. EVPL
The EVPL service supports traffic classification based on port or port + VLAN, and
encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the form of MPLS MartiniOE. Figure 6-13
illustrates the accessing, forwarding and stripping of a unidirectional EVPL service.
Node 2 inserts Tunnel and VC labels to the packet, sends it to the RPR. Node 3
forwards the packet and the destination node 4 strips it. Figure 6-14 illustrates the
EVPL service convergence, implementing traffic classification through port + VLAN,
so that services can be concentrated at the GE port of node 1.

2. EVPLAN
The EVPLAN service supports traffic classification based on port or port + VLAN, and
encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the form of MPLS VMAN. The EVPLAN
service is realized by creating virtual bridge (VB) in the board. Each board may have
up to 32 VBs, each of which has 16 logic ports. VB supports source MAC address
learning and static MAC route configuration. Figure 6-15 shows an example of
EVPLAN service. The VB of each node determines the forward port of packets
through address learning, rpr1 is the port to access packets to the RPR. For node 1, if
the destination address is A1, the packet is forwarded through port 1; if the destination
is A2, the packet is forwarded through port 2. If the destination is B1, B2 or C1, the
packet is forwarded through port rpr1 to the RPR, added a VMAN label 100. Node 2

6.2.3 Protection
The RPR service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several levels,
including:
„ Wrap and Steering
„ Spanning tree and LCAS
„ Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP

1. Wrap
If an equipment or facility failure is detected, the traffic is wrapped back to the opposite
direction at the stations adjacent to the failure, connecting the outer ring with the inner
ring. The protection switching time is less than 50ms. Though featuring fast protection
switching, wrap protection wastes bandwidth. As illustrated in Figure 6-16, traffic is
transferred from node 4 to node 1 through nodes 3 and 2. If there is a fiber cut
between node 2 and node 3, they will wrap the traffic and connect the two rings
together for protection.

2. Steering
For steering protection, a station shall not wrap a failed segment when a failure is
detected. Instead, the source node will send traffic to the destination through a route
avoiding the failed link. The protection switching time is less than 50ms. The steering
protection does not waste bandwidth, but it needs longer switching time and some
data before setting up a route may be lost. Figure 6-17 illustrates an example of
steering protection. Node 4 sends traffic to node 1 on the outer ring through nodes 3
and 2. If there is a fiber cut between node 2 and node 3, the topology discovery
function can help the traffic be transferred to node 1 over the inner ring through nodes
5 and 6.

3. Spanning Tree and LCAS

The EMR0 supports spanning tree protocol (STP) and rapid spanning tree protocol
(RSTP). When STP is started, modify the logic network topology to avoid potential
broadcast storm.
LCAS can add and reduce the bandwidth dynamically, as well as protect the
bandwidth.
For details about spanning tree and LCAS, refer to “6.1 Ethernet”.

6.3.2 Application
1. Supportable Services and Traffic Types
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and UBR services rather than
ABR services. CBR services apply to voice services, as well as video services and
circuit simulation services of a constant bit rate. These services require guaranteed
transmission bandwidth and latency. Rt-VBR services apply to audio and video
services of a variable bit rate. Nrt-VBR services are mainly used for data transmission.
UBR services are generally used for LAN simulation and file transmission. In terms of
the supported service and traffic types, the OptiX OSN 3500 meets IETF RFC2514,
ATM Forum TM 4.0 and ATM Forum UNI 3.1 recommendations, as shown in the Table
6-7.

Note: The OptiX OSN products do not support the number 8 traffic type, which is for ABR services.

2. Application of Band Exclusive ATM Services

When the bandwidth is not shared, ATM services at the source and sink NEs are only
processed at the ATM layer through the ATM service processing board. On
intermediate NEs, only SDH timeslot pass-through is performed, without ATM layer
processing. In this case, each ATM service has the whole VC-3/VC-4 channel to itself.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

6-21
OptiX OSN 3500
Technical Manual - System Description 6 Data Features

The ATM services are converged at the central node and then multiplexed to an
STM-1 or STM-4 optical port for output. As shown in the Figure 6-18, the 34 Mbit/s
ATM services of NE1 and NE3 each occupy a VC-3 bandwidth. The 155 Mbit/s ATM
service of NE2 occupies a VC-4 bandwidth alone. SDH timeslot pass-through is only
performed at NE3. After they reach the central site NE4, they are converged through
the ATM board and output through the 622 Mbit/s optical interface.

3. Application of Band-Shared ATM Services

In shared rings VR-Ring and VC-Ring, the ATM services share the same bandwidth
and are multiplexed statistically. The ATM services on each NE share the same VC
(VC-3, VC-4, or VC-xv) and are all processed on ATM layer. As shown in the Figure
6-19, NE1 accesses E3 ATM traffic through the tributary board and sends it to the ATM
board for ATM switching and protection (1+1/1:1) configuration. Then the traffic is
encapsulated into VC-4-xv and sent to the line through the cross-connect board. NE2
accesses STM-1 ATM traffic through the optical interface and then implements ATM
switching and protection configuration. The ATM traffic from NE1 is also dropped at
NE2 for ATM layer processing. Then the locally accessed traffic and that from NE1 are
encapsulated into the same VC-4-xv and sent to the next NE. The same goes at NE3
and NE4. A single VP/VC-Ring can have a maximum bandwidth of 300 Mbit/s.

6.3.3 Protection
The ATM service of the OptiX OSN equipment is protected on many layers, including:
„ Protection on the ATM layer
„ Protection on the optical transmission layer, such as MSP, and SNCP.

1. Protection on the ATM Layer

Compliant with ITU-T Recommendation I.630, protection on the ATM layer can be
classified into many types according to different classification method, as shown in the
Table 6-8. You can select the configuration as required, for example, 1+1 bidirectional
non-revertive protection”.
Table 6-8 Classification of ATM protection
Classification mode Types
Bridging function 1+1 protection/1:1 protection

Switching direction Unidirectional protection/Bidirectional protection

Connection level VPC protection/VCC protection

Protection domain Trail protection/Subnetwork connection protection

Revertiblility Revertive protection/Non-revertive protection

Protected object Single connection protection/Group connection protection

2. Protection on the Optical Transmission Layer

The ATM service is also protected by the self-healing network on the optical
transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP. You can set the hold-off time for ATM
protection switching. When network impairment occurs, the MSP or SNCP on lower
layers can be switched first, thus achieving the protection of working ATM service (in

this case, the protection switching on the ATM layer will not be activated).
6.4 SAN Features
The OptiX OSN 3500 provides a multi-service transparent transmission processing
board: MST4, to access and transmit transparently fiber channel (FC), fiber
connection (FICON), enterprise systems connection (ESCON) and digital video
broadcast – asynchronous serial interface (DVB-ASI) services. The MST4 supports

7.2 Intelligent Service Request

The optical network is evolving from an integrated network providing transmission
paths only to a service operation network. The intelligent feature provides users with
various high-quality bandwidth applications and services: lease and wholesale
bandwidth, bandwidth business, traffic engineering, SLA.
7.2.1 SLA Service
1. Classification Principle of SLA Service
The SLA service can be classified into multiple levels in terms of protection (diamond,
gold, silver, copper, iron, and so on). Charges for services at different levels are
different, thus demands of different users can be satisfied flexibly. Principle for
classifying services is as follows:
„ Diamond class service: Provided with 1+1 protection or alike, with the switching
time of 0–20ms.

2. SLA-Based Protection at Different Service Levels

With the SLA service provided, the OptiX OSN 3500 enables the operators to win
more customers in a differential market with better service and lower cost.
Table 7-1 Differential protection for service at different levels

Iron Pre-emptable

Service of diamond level is to meet demands of users such as banks, securities,

important government offices, and so on. Service of gold level is to satisfy the
demands for speech, multimedia and video. Service of silver level is applicable to
common data service transmission. Services of copper and iron levels are suitable for
applications such as family network access.
As shown in Figure 7-1, for the service of diamond level, a path ring (dotted line) is
pre-defined for an end-to-end protected service between a source node and a
destination node. The service is dual fed at the source node and selected at the
destination node according to the QoS. The bidirectional service is similar. In normal
conditions, the receiving end receives service from the upper dotted line side. When a

Technical Manual - System Description 7 Intelligent Features

failure occurs to the link or node, the service will be switched to the lower dotted line
side for receiving.
You can also select not to pre-define the path ring, but to calculate two end-to-end
paths (which are not intersecting) from the edge node of the optical network. In such a
case, the service is dual fed at the head end and selectively received at the tail end,
thus guaranteeing the service of diamond level.

The receive node

The source node sends the dual

traffic on rings

Figure 7-1 Networking protection for service of diamond level

For service of gold level, the logical virtual multiplex section (MS) ring must be
pre-defined. As shown in Figure 7-2, the bandwidth of Ring 1, Ring 2 and virtual ring
are specified as the user demands. They can be part of the maximum bandwidth of
the optical fiber. Half timeslots of the MS ring are used to protect another half timeslots.
To provide service with medium level with M:N protection, the edge node of the optical
network calculates which virtual MS ring that each link of the service trail belongs to.
By doing so, a rapid MSP switching can be guaranteed at any link or node failure on
the service path. As shown in Figure 7-2, all links of the end-to-end service path
belong to either Ring 1 or Ring 2. If one node fails, as shown in the figure, service on
Ring 2 can be switched to the protection path of the ring rapidly.
Protection path of the ring

Figure 7-2 Protection for service of gold level

For service of silver level, upon failure occurrence the path of the service is
re-calculated after the convergence of the topology. As the network convergence is
time-consuming, the service damaging or interruption time in re-routing is longer than
the switching time for the above two services.

Technical Manual - System Description 7 Intelligent Features

Compared with the two services described above, the advantage of the silver service
lies in that it does not need bandwidth reservation for recovery, thus much improving
the bandwidth availability. As shown in Figure 7-3, when the service link fails, a new
path will be found out to recover the service.
There are two modes for re-routing: revertive and non-revertive. If the service is
restored to the original path when the fault is removed, it is in revertive mode; if not, it
is in non-revertive mode.
Re-calculated path

Figure 7-3 Application of silver level

Provision of multiple-leveled services inherits merit of fast protection switching of the

SDH ring network on the one hand, and takes fully advantages of bandwidth
availability of the mesh network on the other hand.
7.2.2 Automatic End-to-End Service Configuration
The end-to-end service can be rapidly generated and protected by some simple
operations listed below through the NM.
„ Select source node.
„ Select destination node.
„ Select desired bandwidth.
„ Select service level.
„ Auto-establish service connection.
7.2.3 Mesh Networking
Compared with the ring network, the mesh network takes advantages of bandwidth
availability, network scalability, and survivability. This network topology is suitable for
the area with large and evenly distributed traffic. Mesh network achieves a higher
reliability because there are multiple routes available between two nodes. This
effectively protects the traffic against node congestion and node failure. The one
shown in Figure 7-3 is a mesh networking configuration.

This chapter describes the complete protection schemes, at the equipment level and
network level, provided by the OptiX OSN 3500. It covers:
„ Equipment level protection
„ Network level protection
8.1 Equipment Level Protection
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the following protection schemes at the equipment
level:
„ TPS protection for service processing boards
„ 1+1 hot backup for cross-connect unit and timing unit
„ 1+1 hot backup for the SCC unit
„ 1+1 protection for ATM boards
„ 1+1 hot backup for the power input unit
„ Protection for the wavelength conversion unit
„ 1:N protection for the +3.3 V board power supply
„ Intelligent fans
„ Abnormality-specific service protection
8.1.1 TPS Protection for Service Processing Boards
The OptiX OSN 3500 provides 1:N TPS protection for the PQ1, PQM, PL3, PD3,
SPQ4, SEP1 and EFS0 boards through electrical interface protection. That is, it
provides TPS protection for the E1, T1, E3, T3, E4, STM-1 and Ethernet services
„ E1 processing board PQ1 supports one 1:N (N≤8) TPS protection group.
„ E1/T1 processing board PQM supports one 1:N (N≤8) TPS protection group.
„ E3/T3 processing board PD3/PL3 supports two 1:N (N≤3) TPS protection groups.

„ Co-existence of the above three different TPS protection groups.
„ The signal failure time is less then 50ms in TPS switching
8.1.2 1+1 Hot Backup for Cross-Connect Unit and Timing Unit
The cross-connect unit and the timing unit are provided by the GXCS/EXCS/UXCS
boards. The GXCS/EXCS/UXCS boards employ 1+1 hot backup for protecting the
cross-connect unit and the timing unit at the same time. When the active
cross-connect and timing units are working normally, the standby ones are in standby
working mode, neither undertaking the service cross-connection function nor
providing timing to the system. They have the same cross-connect matrix setting and
clock configuration as the active units. When the standby units receive the information
indicating abnormal performance of the active units or a switching command sent by
the NM, they will immediately take over the job of the active units, setting themselves
into the active working mode and sending out a switchover alarm.
8.1.3 1+1 Hot Backup for the SCC Unit
The SCC unit of the OptiX OSN 3500 has 1+1 hot backup protection. The standby
SCC unit is in standby working mode when the active one is working normally.
8.1.4 1+1 Protection for ATM Boards
The ADL4, ADQ1, IDL4 and IDQ1 of the OptiX OSN 3500 support board level 1+1
protection. Their failure is detected by the cross-connect board. If any failure occurs,
the cross-connect board will initiate the switching, switching the services of the
working ATM board to the protection board. The switching time is less than 50ms. The
prerequisites for protection switching of the ATM board are as follows:
„ Any of the following alarms is raised in the SDH layer processing module of the
board, such as R_LOS, R_LOF, R_LOC, B1_OVER, B2_OVER, or B2_SD
(optional).
„ The LCD alarm is raised in the ATM layer processing module of the board.
„ Board hardware fails.
8.1.5 1+1 Hot Backup for the Power Input Unit
Through the two PIU boards, the OptiX OSN 3500 can access two –48 V DC working
power supplies that work in backup mode. If either of them goes faulty, the other will
operate to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
8.1.6 Protection for the Wavelength Conversion Unit
The arbitrary bit rate wavelength conversion unit LWX includes two types: one is
single-fed single receiving, and the other is dual-fed signal selection.
The dual-fed signal selection LWX supports intra-board protection, realizing optical
channel protection with one board. The protection switching time is less than 50ms.
The single-fed single receiving LWX supports inter-board protection, that is, 1+1
inter-board hot backup protection. The protection switching time is less than 50ms.
8.1.7 1:N Protection for the +3.3 V Board Power Supply
The OptiX OSN 3500 provides 1:N power backup for the +3.3 V power supplies of
other boards through the power backup unit on the AUX board. When the power

supply of a board becomes faulty, the backup power takes over to ensure normal
operation of that board.
8.1.8 Intelligent Fans
For heat dissipation, the OptiX OSN 3500 adopts three intelligent fans in the fan unit.
The power supplies for the fans serve as backup for each other.
The intelligent fans provide stepless speed regulation and failure detection. Once one
goes faulty, the other two operate at their full speeds. The running status of the fans
can be indicated by the corresponding indicators on the front panel of the fan unit.
8.1.9 Abnormality-Specific Service Protection
1. Power Failure in Software Loading Process
Application program and data have the check function. In the case the loading is
interrupted, the basic input/output system (BIOS) will not start the unfinished program
and data until they are successfully loaded.

2. Over-Voltage and Under-Voltage Protection

The power board is designed with a lightning protection component to effectively
reduce the damages that may be possibly caused by transient high-voltage such as
lightning. When the voltage is over low, this board will automatically reset the center
processing unit (CPU) and the software will re-initialize the chips. The software will
provide a mirror protection for important memories that may affect the services. In the
case the voltage is not stable, which causes the memory value to change, the values
can be recovered to normal. In addition, when the voltage is too low, the power system
will automatically cut off the active power to protect the system.

3. Board Temperature Check

Temperature detection circuit is provided on the boards that generate much heat.
When the ambient temperature is detected too high, an alarm is generated to remind
the maintenance personnel to clean the fans.

The OptiX OSN 3500 can implement the linear MSP and the MS ring protection.

1. Linear MSP
Linear MSP is mainly used in the chain network. The OptiX OSN 3500 supports 1+1
and 1:N (N≤14) protection schemes. In the 1:N protection mode, extra services are
supported to be transmitted on the protection system. In the linear MSP scheme, the
switching time is less than 50ms as specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.841 and
G783.

2. MS Ring Protection

time less than 50ms, as specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.841 and G783.
In line with ITU-T Recommendation G.841, the OptiX OSN 3500 supports four-fiber
MS shared protection ring, which provides ring switching and span switching in
addition to the similar functions of the two-fiber bidirectional MSP.
8.2.3 SNCP
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports SNCP as required by ITU-T Recommendation G.841
and G783. Even multiple service switching events occur at the same time, the
switching time can still be less than 50ms.
The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the end to end conversion of an unprotected trail to a
SNCP-protected trail, as shown in Figure 8-1.

As shown in Figure 8-2, in the fiber-shared virtual trail protection, STM-16, STM-4, or
even STM-1 optical paths are logically divided into low order and high order paths, and
combined with other links to form the path-level rings. The path-level rings can have
protection schemes path protection (PP), MSP, SNCP, and no protection (NP).
8.2.6 MS-Shared Optical Path Protection
In the MS-shared optical path protection, an optical interface can be configured with
multiple MSP groups, so that MS rings protection can share the same fiber and optical
interface. This function is conditioned on the optical board’s capability of processing
multiple sets of independent K bytes. SL64 and SL16 of the OptiX OSN 3500 support
a maximum of two shared optical paths.
