  4. What is a L1VPN? • A Layer 1 network abstraction that presents a secure, dedicated transport network to the end customer • An alternative to a dedicated physical Layer1 network • May co-exist with other L1VPN instances on the same physical carrier network • Provides end-customer with control & visibility over Layer 1 services between Customer Edges (CEs) • Comprised of a set of CEs & the VPN connections provided by the provider (between Provider Edges (PEs)) • Varied levels of network management control & visibility • Standards efforts in progress (IETF, ITU-T) • GMPLS playing a key role in signaling & routing • E.g., draft-ietf-l1vpn-*, ITU-T SG13

  5. L1VPN Example • Multiple dynamically reconfigurable L1VPNs can co-exist on single carrier network • Enables secure, self-configurable & viewable sub-network • Streamlines customization of dedicated customer virtual network Customer 1 Customer 2 CNM System 1 1 GMPLS 2 2 1

  6. L1VPN & Dynamic WoD Drivers • Basis for new service offerings for wholesale carriers • An alternative to leased point-to-point waves • Rapid reconfigurability of L1 services with minimal carrier intervention • Shifts onus of capacity planning away from carrier and into customer’s own hands • Facilitates internal carrier partitioning of common L1 network • Streamline carrier’s servicing of internal capacity requests • E.g., wholesale carrier providing IP organization with self-configurable L1 transport VPN • Dynamic real-time reconfigurability enables many applications • Dynamic load-sharing based on capacity-on-demand • One-time high bandwidth broadcast events • Timesharing of network capacity • Short-term capacity lease

  14. L1VPN Service Model OptionsDiscussion • Pre-established vs. On-demand PE-PE capacity • PE-PE cross-sectional capacity needs may evolve over time • On-demand link sizing encourages sharing of capacity across multiple customers • Shared vs. dedicated per-VPN switching • L1 switching function for each VPN can reside “on” or “off-net” • Off-net switching creates natural security partition

  15. L1VPN Service Model Options (contd.)Discussion • Management vs. Signaling based provisioning • Specifies how dynamic circuit configuration is accomplished • Signaling based model generally more broadly discussed • Overlay vs. Peering signaling model (CE-PE) • Signaling only vs. Signaling + Routing model (aka, Basic vs Enhanced Mode • Routing enables automated membership & TE link information exchange • Virtual Node vs. Virtual Link model • Differing abstraction levels of L1VPN capacity • Virtual Link is currently finding favor

  16. L1VPN Service Level Requirements Discussion • Accounting Reporting • Security of provider-customer communication • Data-, control-, and management planes • Data integrity, confidentiality, authentication, and access control • Class of Service (e.g., Availability Class) • Performance Reporting • Fault Reporting • Connectivity Reporting • Policy (e.g., path computation policy, CE-CE signaling pass-through, etc.)
