  3. Overview • Optical Transmission • Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) • Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) • Generic Framing Procedure (GFP)

  4. Optical Transmission Transmitted data waveform Waveform after 1000 km

  5. Fiber Attenuation • Telecommunications industry uses two windows: 1310 & 1550 nm • 1550 window is preferred for long-haul applications • Less attenuation • Wider window • Optical amplifiers 1550 window 1310 window l

  6. Dispersion • Dispersion causes the pulse to spread as it travels along the fiber • Chromatic dispersion • Light propagation in material varies with the wavelength • Degradation scales as (data-rate)2 (Figure from http://lw.pennnet.com/)

  7. Dispersion • Modal dispersion • Only for fiber that carry multiple light rays (modes) • Different modes travel at different speeds • Multimodal fiber used only for short distances

  16. Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer • Add-drop one l • Each l is associated with a fixed add/drop port • Used to implement ring topologies MUX DEMUX

  17. Overview • Optical Transmission • Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) • Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) • Generic Framing Procedure (GFP)

  18. SONET • Encode bit streams into optical signals propagated over optical fiber • Uses Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) for carrying many signals of different capacities • A bit-way implementation providing end-to-end transport of bit streams • All clocks in the network are locked to a common master clock • Multiplexing done by byte interleaving

  19. Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) • First two bytes of each frame contain a special bit pattern that allows to determine where the frame starts • Receiver looks for the special bit pattern every 810 bytes • Size of frame = 9x90 = 810 bytes Data (payload) overhead 9 rows Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) 90 columns SONET STS-1 Frame

  20. Encoding • Overhead bytes are encoded using Non-Return to Zero • high signal  1; low signal  0 • To avoid long sequences of 0’s or 1’s the payload is XOR-ed with a special 127-bit patter with many transitions from 1 to 0 • Duration of a frame is 125 µsec (51.84 Mbps for STS-1)

  21. SONET Overhead Processing • Three layers of overhead • Path overhead (POH): end-to-end transport • Line overhead (LOH): mux-to-mux transport • Section overhead (SOH): adjacent network element Section Section Section Section Intermediate Multiplexer (ADM or DCS) DEMUX Regenerator Regenerator MUX Line Line Path

  22. STS-1 Frame Format • Two-dimensional: 9*80 = 810 bytes • Time Frame: 125 µsec • Rate: 810*8 bit/125 µsec = 51.84 Mbps • For STS-3 only the number of columns changes (3*80 = 270) 90 Bytes Or “Columns” 9 Rows Small Rectangle =1 Byte

  23. Section Overhead (SOH) Path Overhead (POH): Floating; can begin anywhere Line Overhead (LOH) STS-1 Headers 90 Bytes Or “Columns” 9 Rows

  27. STS-N Frame Format 90xN Bytes Or “Columns” N Individual STS-1 Frames Examples STS-1 51.84 Mbps STS-3 155.520 Mbps STS-12 622.080 Mbps STS-48 2.48832 Gbps STS-192 9.95323 Gbps • Composite Frames: • Byte Interleaved STS-1’s • Clock Rate = Nx51.84 Mbps • 9 colns overhead Multiple frame streams, w/ independent payload pointers Note: header columns also interleaved

  28. STS-N: Generic Frame Format STS-N STS-1

  29. STS-Nc Frame Format 90xN Bytes Or “Columns” Transport Overhead: SOH+LOH • Concatenated mode: • Same header structure and data rates as STS-N • Not all header bytes used • First H1, H2 Point To POH • Single Payload In Rest Of SPE Current IP over SONET technologies use concatenated mode: OC-3c (155 Mbps) to OC-192c (10 Gbps) rates a.k.a “super-rate” payloads

  30. Practical SONET Architecture ADM – Add-Drop Multiplexer DCS – Digital Crossconnect

  31. Protection Technique Classification • Restoration techniques can protect the network against: • Link failures • Fiber-cables cuts and line devices failures (amplifers) • Equipment failures • OXCs, ADMs, electro-optical interface. • Protection can be implemented • In the optical channel sublayer (path protection) • In the optical multiplex sublayer (line protection) • Different protection techniques are used for • Ring networks • Mesh networks

  32. 1+1 Protection • Traffic is sent over two parallel paths, and the destination selects a better one • In case of failure, the destination switch onto the other path • Pros: simple for implementation and fast restoration • Cons: waste of bandwidth

  33. 1:1 Protection • During normal operation, no traffic or low priority traffic is sent across the backup path • In case failure both the source and destination switch onto the protection path • Pros: better network utilization • Cons: required signaling overhead, slower restoration

  34. 1:1 Ring Protection • Each channel on one ring is protected by one channel on the other ring • When faults  loop around ADM ADM ADM ADM ADM ADM ADM ADM

  35. Protection in Ring Network (Unidirectional Path Switched Ring) (Bidirectional Line Switched Ring) 1:1 Line Protection Used for interoffice rings 1+1 Path Protection Used in access rings for traffic aggregation into central office 1:1 Span and Line Protection Used in metropolitan or long- haul rings

  36. Protection in Mesh Networks • Network planning and survivability design • Disjoint path idea: service working route and its backup route are topologically diverse. • Lightpaths of a logical topology can withstand physical link failures. Working Path Backup Path

  37. Normal Operation Path Switching: restoration is handled by the source and the destination. Line Switching: restoration is handled by the nodes adjacent to the failure. Span Protection: if additional fiber is available. Line Switching: restoration is handled by the nodes adjacent to the failure. Line Protection. Path Protection / Line Protection

  38. Shared Protection • Backup fibers are used for protection of multiple links • Assume independent failure and handle single failure. • The capacity reserved for protection is greatly reduced. Normal Operation 1:N Protection In Case of Failure

  39. Overview • Optical Transmission • Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) • Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) • Generic Framing Procedure (GFP)

  40. Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) • GFP provides a generic mechanism to adapt traffic from higher-layer client signals over an octet synchronous transport network (e.g., SONET)

  41. Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) • Frame-mapped • Need to know the client protocol • Associate a length to each higher level frame • Efficient: eliminate the need for byte stuffing or for block encoding (e.g., 8B/10B) • Transparent • No need to know the client protocol • Less efficient; can transmit signal even when the client is idle
