PreliminariesService Interfaces and Delivery • DS1 - 1.544 Mbps • DS3 - 45 Mbps • OC3 - 155 Mbps • OC12 - 622 Mbps • OC refers to optical 14
What is Broadband? 1.5 Megabits/second and greater
Broadband Services • Circuit switched (leased) T1,T3 • Frame Relay • Gigabit Ethernet • ATM
What is Frame Relay ? • Public metropolitan and wide-area data service • Employs a shared public Network backbone or can be deployed as a private network • Packet-Switched, Connection-oriented, • Low to high speed: 56/64 Kbps, • 1.536 Mbps (DS1); 45 Mbps (DS3) • The protocol data units at Layer 3 are known as packets, while the Layer 2 protocol data units are called frames 3
FRAME RELAY CHARACTERISTICS • Use: Connecting LANs over Wide Area • Uses Virtual Circuits, Cut- Through switching • Access Method- 56/64 kb/s to 1.544 Mb/s • Committed Service Agreements- • Committed Information Rate (CIR) • Committed Burst Rate (CBR) • Excess Burst Rate (EBR) • Packet size (User data usually 4 KB or less)
Port The Role Of Virtual Circuits (VCs) • Provide Connectivity Between Locations • Each VC is Assigned a Committed Information Rate (CIR) • VC can Burst Above CIR to Handle Data Bursts and Peak Traffic Loads PVC PVC UNI PVC FR Switch
Frame Relay Switching Time A Frame Relay node can start switching traffic out onto a new line as soon as it has read the first two bytes of addressing information at the beginning of the frame. Thus a frame of data can travel end to end, passing through several switches, and still arrive at its destination with only a few bytes delay. These delays are small enough that network latency under Frame Relay is not noticeably different from direct leased line connections.
Addressing • Data Link Connection Identifiers (DLCIs) • Numerical assignments identifying frame relay mapping addresses • Each VC has a unique DLCI (locally significant) • 10 bits are used for DLCIs for a maximum of 210 (1024) addresses per PVC (minimum of 1). DLCIs are provisioned in advance. • Customers are allowed to use 975 DLCI assignments 9

Bursting • The ability to exceed CIR • Allows users to send two times the CIR into the Frame Relay network each one second interval • Frames exceeding CIR are marked discard eligible (DE) • Data over two times CIR is discarded before entering network 14
FRAME RELAYPACKET ASSEMBLE/ DISASSEMBLE (FRAD) • Takes packets from other protocols and breaks them into pieces if necessary and then encapsulates the pieces. Reassembles at the other end.

Frame Relay Technology -Network Design Methodology • Collect Network Design Information • Traffic measurements for existing leased lines: point to point measurements - average peak rate, average rate, size of existing circuits • Traffic measurements for existing LANs: Avg. peak rate on LANs; estimate of % to travel over FR network. Calculate traffic for peak periods. • Applications and protocols: Identify delay sensitive applications and protocols and design VC/CIR appropriately 23
Network Design Slide 2 • Choose Network Topology • Star, mesh, or hybrid • Size Access Circuits • Chart out using topology, average peak rates, future traffic growth • Choose CIR for PVCs • Activate Network
Congestion Control Frame Relay • Frame Relay includes two one bit congestion control bits: • FECN -Forward Explicit Congestion Notification • BECN- Backward Explicit Congestion Notification • Use: Some vendors read the bits but do not act on them. Others use the bits to accumulate statistics on the network • Question: Why are they not used?

Frame Relay Service Agreements • Committed Information Rate (CIR) • Minimum Excess Burst Capacity • Average Round trip Latency • Maximum Round Trip Latency • Percentage of Successfully Delivered Frames • Total Downtime, Restoration Time
ATM Characteristics • Uses 53 Byte fixed length packets • Designed for very fast efficient switching • “Isochronous” transmission, statistical multiplexing • Used for data, voice, multimedia • Is a Switched Virtual Circuit service

Choice of ATM • Multimedia- Data, Voice, Image, Video • High overhead- 10%- • nullified possibly if bandwidth capacity not a limiting factor. Fiber not a problem, wireless a limit. • Good for WAN and networks with • classes of “quality of service” • Typical speeds: 155 Mb/s to 622 Mb/s

VOICE OVER ATM Before IP • Carrying Voice in Cells • voice digitally encoded at 64Kbps (8-bit samples at 8KHz) [Note design before VOIP] • need full cell's worth of samples before sending cell • example: 1000-byte cells implies 125ms per cell (too long) • smaller latency implies no need for echo cancellors • Settled on compromise of 48 bytes: (32+64)/2
SONET / ATMSlide 1 • SONET is a telecommunications transport protocol based upon frames • SONET multiplexes several low speed links onto one high speed optical link • Standards for ATM over SONET have been defined
SONET/ ATMSlide 2 • ATM can run over optical SONET but can also run over other framing/ transport mediums • SONET can transport ATM but it also possible for a corporation to lease an optical SONET link and transport a protocol other than ATM
Questions (Frame Relay): • Who corrects errors in a frame relay service? • Why is the CIR associated with throughput for frame relay? [i.e. throughput is information bits/sec] • Do carriers sell public frame relay networks or services? What is the difference? • The maximum allowable bursting rate is limited by what parameters?
Questions (ATM) • Which type of traffic is isochronous? • Video,data, images, LANs • Packetized voice uses which type of application service? • CBR,VBR,UBR,ABR
