Bandwidth Requirements • IPTV • 2007 – 300 channels, 10% HD: 1.1-1.4 Gbits/s (MPEG-4/MPEG-2) • 2010 – 300 channels, 50% HD: 2.0-3.2 Gbits/s • VoD (2500 subscribers per node) • 2007 – 5% VoD penetration: 0.5-0.6 Gbits/s • 2010 – 30% VoD penetration: 5.0-8.0 Gbits/s (MPEG-4/MPEG-2) • Total bandwidth requirements – 6 nodes per ring • 2007 – 3.5-4.5 Gbits/s • 2010 – 32-51 Gbits/s
IEEE 802.3 HSSG Status • IEEE 802.3 HSSG • Agreed on PAR for 40GE and 100GE, July’07 • Identify bandwidth-hungry applications: data centers, internet exchanges, high-performance computing and video on demand • Parallel optics for 100GE (4x25G, 10x10G) discussed for dedicated fiber and limited distances applications. Serial options for MAN/WAN applications still under evaluation • Polarization multiplexing, Phase coding • Standard is still at least 4 years away
Alternative for Network Scalability • Add separate rings • Complex network operation – multiple networks, Traffic Engineering • No redundancy between rings • Limited statistical multiplexing • Upgrade to 40 Gbits/s • Disruptive and costly process • High equipment cost – optics, network processors, traffic management • Limited capacity
High-Capacity Packet Rings • High-capacity (HC) packet rings are achieved through advanced bonding techniques • Multiple 10G RPR instances are combined to create a single logical ring • 40G links can also be added to the bundle 100G MAC Layer nx10G PHY • Flow-aware hashing for load balancing and distributing packets over parallel physical links • Guarantees traffic integrity, by uniquely identifying and classifying each individual flow over the same physical link, avoiding re-ordering
HC Packet Rings – Traffic Distribution • No mis-ordering within a flow • Each flow is consistently delivered on the same channel • Packet ordering is maintained even if each channel is carried in different route with different length • Flexible combinations of fields used for hashing to provide load balancing in different applications Link Failure Transmitted packets over 4 channels 6 flows 2 1 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 2 1 4 3 2 2 1 1 3 2 1 4 3 4 4 2 1 3 2 1 4 3 After the failure packets are distributed over 3 channels 2 1 4 3

Customer B Example – Growth of Existing Services (1/3) • L2-VPN service to interconnect between enterprise's branches • VPLS over ring network • Can be infrastructure service to multiple end-user services Customer A Customer C Customer C Customer A Customer C Customer B Network Capacity Customer A – 3G Customer B – 3G Customer C – 4G Total net capacity : 10G Network Capacity Customer A – 3G Customer B – 4G Customer C – 4G Total net capacity : 11G Customer B Customer B Customer A Customer C
Customer B Customer B Customer B Customer B Example – Growth of Existing Services (2/3) Option 1 – Multi-ring configuration • Add additional ring instance – ringlet #2 • Disconnect all CustomerB locations from ringlet #1 • Re-provisioning Customer B service on ringlet #2 Customer A Customer C Customer C Customer A Customer C Customer A Customer C
Customer B Example – Growth of Existing Services (3/3) Option 2 – HC-RPR • Increase RPR ring capacity to 20G • Connect Customer B 4th location to the existing L2-VPN service Customer A Customer C Customer C Customer A Customer C Customer B Customer B Customer B Customer A Customer C
Multi-Phy HC Packet Rings • Description • Allow combination of RPRoSTM64 and RPRo10GE in the same HC-RPR group. • Motivation • Reduce cost while maintaining ring synchronization. • Clock distribution across the ring via SONET/SDH interface • Data and TDM traffic will run on top of both Ethernet and SONET/SDH interfaces – full flexibility • Implementation aspects • Eliminate miss-order by per flow hashing • Fine flow granularity to assure equal load sharing between RPR instances • Flow granularity: MAC ( S+D) + IP (S+D) + Port • No issue of equal load sharing between different Phy layers • OC192 payload rate (net rate): 9.51Gbps • 10GE tri-model average payload rate: 9.5Gpbs Equal net rates
Asymmetric Operation (AHC-RPR) and Management S5 • Best for incremental network growth • Install RPR blades and optics only as node capacity demand increases • At least one ring must be common to all stations • Each station is represented by HC (group) MAC and physical MAC • HC MAC is used for data forwarding and IP level • Physical MAC used for topology • Reference topology has group entity and per ring entities S4 S1 2x10G HC-RPR S2 S3

Summary • HC Packet Transport • Network scalability up to 100 Gbits/s for high bandwidth applications is required today • 100GE is at least 4 years away • Cost effective network migration path is required • In-service network scalability in 10G or 40G increments • Resiliency to fiber and equipment failures • Implemented with available low-cost optical components
