High Capacity Path Networking IP router • Existing SONET/SDH networks are a BOTTLENECK for Broadband Transport • Most Access Rings are OC-3 and OC-12 UPSRs while most Backbone Rings are OC-48. Transport of rates higher than OC-48 using the existing SONET/SDH network will require significant and costly changes. Clearly upgrading the SONET/SDH network everytime broadband data interfaces are upgraded based increased IP traffic is not an appropriate solution. IP router IP router STS-12c/48c/...

Restoration on the backbone • SONET rings • Simple and do the job today • Inefficient and inflexible • Diversely routed working and protect • Next generation options • “Virtual rings” • Mesh with shared protect • Optical rings • Optical mesh
What are the restoration requirements? • Recovery from failures • Equipment failures • Cable cuts • Four 9’s? • Down 52 minutes per year. • Five 9’s? • Down 5 minutes per year. • Need to satisfy the users requirements: Service Level Agreement (SLA) • Service degradation varies by application • 911 calls, voice, video, ATM, Frame, IP • Do customers want to pay for 50ms recovery from a cut? • Wide area rings vs. Local area
Terminology • Protection • Uses pre-assigned capacity to ensure survivability • Restoration • Reroutes the affected traffic after failure occurrence by using available capacity • Survivability • Property of a network to be resilient to failures
Reactive / Proactive • Reactive • When an existing lightpath fails, a search is initiated to find a new lightpath which does not use the failed components. (After the failure happens) • It cannot guarantee successful recovery, • Longer restoration time • Proactive • Backup lightpaths are identified and resources are reserved along the backup lightpaths at the time of establishing the primary lightpath itself. • 100% restoration guarantee • Faster recovery
Link Based vs. Path Based • Link-based • Shorter restoration time • Less efficient. • Can only fix link failures • Path-based • longer restoration time • More efficient.
Dedicated vs. Multiplexed Backup • Dedicated backup • More robust • Less efficient. • Backup multiplexing • Less robust • More efficient.
Primary Backup MUX • Wavelength channel to be shared by a primary and one or more backup paths
Resilience in Optical Networks • Linear Systems • 1+1 protection • 1:1 protection • 1:N protection • Ring-based • UPSR: Uni-directional Path Switched Rings • BLSR: Bi-directional Line Switched Rings • Mesh-based • Optical mesh networks connected by optical cross-connects (OXCs) or optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs) • Link-based/path-based protection/restoration • Hybrid Mesh Rings • Physical: mesh • Logical: ring
Unidirectional WDM Path Protected Rings • 1+1 wavelength path selection • Signal bridged on both protection and working fiber. • Receiver chooses the better signal. • Failure: • Destination switches to the operational link. • Revertive /Non revertive switching • No signaling required.
Bidirectional Line switched Ring • Shares protection capacity among all the spans on the ring • Link failure • Working traffic from 1 fiber looped back onto opposite direction. • Signaling protocol required • Node failure • Line switching performed at both sides of the failed node.
BLSR - 4 Fiber • Fibers • 2 working • 2 protection • Protection fiber: no traffic unless failure. • Link Failure. • APS channel required to coordinate the switching at both ends of a failure.
Path Layer Mesh Protection • Protect Mesh as a single unit • Pre-computed routes • 1+1 path protection • Protection route per light path • Protection route per failure. • On the fly route computation. • Centralized route computation and coordination • Route computation and coordination at end nodes. • Distributed route computation at path ends. • Decompose into protection domains. • Pure rings • P cycles
Mesh Topologies • Fibers organized in protection cycles. • Computed offline • 4 fibers of each link is terminated by 4 2X2 protection switches • Before link failure, switches in normal position. • After failure, switches moved to protection state and traffic looped back into the protection cycles.
Protection Cycles (cont’d) • Criterion for protection cycles. • Recovery from a single link failure in any optical network with arbitrary topology and bi-directional fiber links • All protection fibers are used exactly once. • In any directed cycle both protection fibers in a pair are not used unless they are in a bridge
