Introduction • Multilayer network architecture is moving into IP-optimized two-layer architecture. ․They have same level of availability : 99.999% or 5.25 minutes of downtime per year. • Network availability is assured through a combination of equipment reliability and thevarious network survivability approaches.
Introduction (contd.) • Network equipment reliability is ensured via built-in redundancy. • Survivability is the ability of the network to transfer the interrupted services onto spare network capacity to circumvent a point of failure in the network. ․Failures can involve fiber cuts and node-related failure.
Importance of survivability in IP-over-WDM networks • We take an example to show the importance of survivability. ․The blocking probability can be formulated using the Erlang B loss formula : , Where W is the number of wavelengths per link. is the offered load in each node.
1 2 3 Importance of survivability in IP-over-WDM networks (contd.) - Default value : W=100 , =70 - blocking probability before failure = 0.137% increase to 140 Erlangs. - blocking probability after failure = = 51.17%
IP-OVER-WDM ARCHITECTURE (contd.) • GMPLS supports two basic network architectures : overlay and peer-to-peer. • The main difference between these two models is the IP routers can see the network`s internal topology or not.
IP-OVER-WDM ARCHITECTURE-- Overlay model • IP networks form the client layer where WDM networks behave as the physical transport network service provider. • There are two separate control planes : one in the core optical network and the other in the LSRs.
IP-OVER-WDM ARCHITECTURE-- Overlay model (contd.) • Two alternatives to interface between IP client and WDM server ․WDM network management system (NMS) - No direct interaction between IP control and WDM control ․ User to network interface (UNI) - IP control can directly talk to WDM control through optical UNI. - Internal network-to-network interface (INNI) - External network-to-network interface (ENNI)
IP-OVER-WDM ARCHITECTURE-- Peer to Peer model • The reachability information is shared between IP and WDM networks and a single routing protocol instances runs over both the IP and WDM networks. • The IP and WDM networks are integrated as a single network. • Tightly integration not practical in the near term
