Access Layer PCs, Printers, etc. High Density 10/100 L2 Ethernet switching Aggregation Layer Consolidation point Mixture 10/100 & Gigabit L2/L3 Ethernet switching Core Nucleus, Servers, Metro High Density Gigabit L3 Routing Traditional Design Floor 1…………..Floor x Design Issues At layer 2 these extra links need to be blocked to prevent network loops. This is usually implemented using a protocol called spanning tree (802.1d) Spanning tree protocol prevents these loops by deciding the best links to use and blocking all the rest. Basically you’re paying for stuff you can’t use ! Building Campus
Two-Tier Infrastructure design Edge High density 10/100 Ethernet ports for user connections and Gigabit Ethernet for riser connections. Access security controls and QoS mapping. Core High Density Gigabit Ethernet for riser connections. ATM, SONET and Optical connections for MAN/WAN access and L4-7 Applications switching for Data Center integration.
S-MLT Link Aggregation • Split Multi-Link Trunking • A Fresh approach to the spanning tree problem • Description • Edge switches normally dual-homed for resilience. • Current network rules mean that one connection must be blocked. • Split MLT makes two core switches act as one. • Now both Links are active and appear as one. • Advantages • Fail-over reduced to <1sec • No wasted - You can use what you pay for!
Metro Bandwidth Challenge • New multimedia applications require more bandwidth • Multi channel Gigabit metro solution is the answer, but… • Normally this would require • Multiple expensive leased fiber runs for resilience or • Expensive and complex DWDM equipment to reduce fibers • Challenge is to provide High bandwidth services, while…. • Keeping leased fiber costs to a minimum • Without wasting fibers (dead sparing) • Maintaining reliability (Application state)
16 Gigs On a Single Fiber 3 Part Metro Optical Solution • Colored GBICs in Switches • Standard interface • 8 ‘flavors’ Long reach (90km) • Optical MUX • Fiber Saver • Distributed 10 Gig Solution • Optical Add/Drop MUX • Splits Wavelength in two • Doubles the bandwidth One fiber Out 8 Gigs in Breakout one, pass the rest
OADM OADM OADM OMUX OMUX CWDM Metro Design Gigabit channel bonded together with MLT for high bandwidth and faster fail-over Switch Switch Switch 1 Gigabit East and 1 Gigabit West deliver resiliency Simple plug and play operation reduces deployment costs ‘RED’ channel used for additional IST link to increase bandwidth and redundancy in a distributed POP environment. 8600 8600
