 The network topology, the geometrical layout of SDH network nodes and transmission
lines, reflects the physical connection of the network. The network topology is important
in the sense that it determines the performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness of an SDH
network.

 The chain network is simple and economical at the initial application stage of SDH
equipment. For a chain network, it’s more difficult and more expensive to protect the
traffic, compared with a ring network. The chain network is used in cases where the traffic
is unimportant or where the traffic load is small so that we don’t have to care about the
traffic protection.

 In the star network, the hub node selects routes and passes through the traffic signals for
all the other nodes. As a result, the hub node is able to manage the bandwidth resources
thoroughly and flexibly. On the other hand, there is the possibility of a potential bottleneck
of bandwidth resources. Besides, the equipment failure of the hub node may result in the
breakdown of the entire network.

 A tree structure can be considered as the combination of chain and star structures. It is
suitable for broadcast service. However, due to the bottleneck problem and the optical
power budget limit, it is not suitable for bidirectional traffic.

 The ring network is the most widely used network for SDH transmission networks.
 In such a structure, any traffic between two adjacent nodes can be directly add/drop
between them. For traffic between two non-adjacent nodes, we have to configure the
add/drop traffic at the source node and the sink node. And the pass-through traffic in
between those two nodes must be created as well.
 The ring network is highly survivable. The most obvious advantage of a ring network is its
high survivability that is essential to modern optical networks with large capacity. Thus, the
ring network enjoys very broad applications in SDH networks.

 Mesh networks are such communications networks in which many nodes are
interconnected with each other via direct routes. In such topological structure, if direct
routes are used in the interconnection of all the nodes, this structure is considered as an
ideal mesh topology. In a non-ideal mesh topological structure, the service connection
between nodes that are not connected directly is established through route selection and
transiting via other nodes.
 In a mesh network, no bottle neck problem exists. Since more than one route can be
selected between any nodes, when any equipment fails, services can still be transmitted
smoothly through other routes. Thus, the reliability of service transmission is increased.
However, such networks are more complicated, costly and difficult to manage. Mesh
networks are very suitable for those regions with large traffic.

 Tangent ring networks / Intersectant ring networks/ Not protection chain.

 In selecting a topological structure, many factors should be considered. For example, the
network should be highly survivable, easy to configure, suitable to add new services, and
simple to mange. In a practical communications network, different layers adopt different
topological structures.

 The concept of sub-network is introduced in Huawei OptiX series equipment and network
management systems in order to facilitate network topology management, security
management, tributary interface expansion, and traffic management.
 In practical applications, it simplifies the topology structure of complicated networks and
thus enables hierarchical management.

 Modern society is getting more and more dependent on communications with the
development of science and technologies, and so higher requirements to network security
are being brought forward. Thus the concept of survivable network comes into being. The
following will deal with the concepts of survivable network.

 Please pay attention to that the network can only restore services here. It cannot repair the
failure in the network, which cannot do without human intervention.
 So there should have protection channels to carry over the services in the working
channels. The first requirement for survivability of network is there should have protection
routes or standby routes.
 A survivability also need something else. Nodes in the network must have the intelligence
to check out the failure occurred and inform corresponding units of doing relative
protection operation. And the nodes also should have powerful cross-connect capability to
implement the protection operation.
 For the survivable network, the protection object can be the physical or electronic.

 Unidirectional traffic and bidirectional traffic are named regarding the traffic flow
directions in the ring. A unidirectional ring means that traffic travel in just one direction,
e.g. clockwise or counter-clockwise. While in a bidirectional ring, traffic signals go in two
directions, one opposite to another.
 Protection modes can be divided into two kinds: 1+1 and 1:N. In 1+1 protection mode,
every working system is protected by a dedicated protection system. But in 1:N protection
mode, N systems share one protection system; and when the system is in normal operation,
the protection system can also transmit extra traffic. Thus a higher efficiency can be
obtained than that of 1+1 system.
 For multiplex section protection ring, traffic protection is based on multiplex section.
Switching or not is determined by signal qualities of the multiplex section between each
span of nodes.

 OptiX SDH Networking and Self-Healing Protection P-21

 The network has two channels (two pairs of fibers): working (active) channel and
protection (standby) channel.
 When the network is normal (i.e. no failure on working channel), working channel is used
to transport the traffics.
 When the working channel is failed, use the protection channel.
 Linear Multiplex Section (MS) protection is one of multiplex section protections. Linear
multiplex section protection switching can be a dedicated or shared protection mechanism.
It protects the multiplex section layer, and applies to point-to-point physical networks. One
protection multiplex section can be used to protect the normal traffic from a number (N) of
working multiplex sections. It cannot protect against node failures. It can operate in a
unidirectional or bidirectional manner, and it can carry extra traffic on the protection
multiplex section in bidirectional operation.

 Source node: concurrent sending

 Sink node: selective receiving

 Out of 1+1 linear multiplex section protections, some modes require APS protocol during
the switching process, some don’t require. For 1  1 unidirectional switching, the signal
selection is based on the local conditions and requests. Therefore each end operates
independently of the other end, and bytes K1 and K2 are not needed to coordinate switch
action.

 OptiX SDH Networking and Self-Healing Protection P-24

 When the network has no failure, N working channels can transmit the normal traffic while
the protection channel transmits extra (unimportant) traffic or it transmits no traffic.
 Suppose the fiber from NE A to NE B of the working channel 1 is broken. NE B detects
R_LOS alarm and sends a request to NE A to switch the services on the failed channel to
the protection channel.
 Upon receiving the request, NE A bridges the service on the failed channel to the
protection channel.
 NE B get the information from NE A and switch to select the service from the protection
channel.
 NE A switches to select the service from the protection channel. This step completes the
switching of the service on the faulty channel to the protection channel for both directions.

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

 OptiX SDH Networking and Self-Healing Protection P-25

 When the working channel 1 repaired, the _RLOS alarm disappears. NE B sets the K1 byte
to “Wait-To-Restore (WTR)” state. If WTR state lasts for a special time (10 minutes by
default), it switches to select the signal from the working channel and sends “No Request”
signal to the NE A using K1 byte.
 NE A releases the bridge and replies with the same indication on K1 byte. The selector at
the NE A is also released.
 Receiving this K1 byte causes the NE B to release the bridge. This step completes the
protection recovery.

 In 1+1 protection mode, every working system is protected by a dedicated protection

system. But in 1:N protection mode, N systems share one protection system; and when the
system is in normal operation, the protection system can also transmit extra traffic. Thus a
higher efficiency can be obtained than that of 1+1 system, but a more complicated APS
protocol is needed. This protection mode mainly protects the normal traffic in case optical
cable of the working multiplex section is cut off or multiplex section performance degrades.

 In OSN networking application, there is no PP ring. But when we need to create a

protection sub-net when using the NMS T2000.
 The protection switching principle of two-fiber bidirectional path protection ring is
basically the same as that of unidirectional path protection ring, except that in two-fiber
bidirectional path protection ring, the route of receiving signals is consistent with that of
sending signals
 Two-fiber unidirectional MS dedicated protection ring is composed of two fibers. Working
channels and protection channels are carried over different optical fibers. Of course, fiber
P1 can be used to carry extra traffic when not used for protection. The two-fiber
unidirectional Multiplex Section dedicated protection ring is seldom used in actual
applications since it has no advantages over either the two-fiber unidirectional path
protection ring or two-fiber bidirectional multiplex section shared protection.

 On each fiber, half the channels are defined as working channels and half are defined as
protection channels. The normal traffic carried on working channels in one fiber are
protected by the protection channels in another fiber traveling in the opposite direction
around the ring. This permits the bidirectional transport of normal traffic. Only one set of
overhead channels is used on each fiber.

 For example, a STM-16 system shall assign #1--- #8VC4 as the working channels, #9---#16
as the protection channels. One fiber of #9---#16 are to protect #1---#8 of another fiber.

 For two-fiber bidirectional multiplex section protection rings, as their traffic have uniform
routes and are sent bidirectional, time slots in the ring can be shared by all nodes, so the
total capacity is closely related to the traffic distribution mode and quantity of nodes on
the ring.

 When a node determines that a switch is required, it sources the appropriate bridge
request in the K-bytes in both directions, i.e. the short path and long path.
 The destination node is the node that is adjacent to the source node across the failed span.
When a node that is not the destination nodes receives a higher priority bridge request, it
enters the appropriate pass-through state. In this way, the switching nodes can maintain
direct K-byte communication on the long path. Note that in the case of a bidirectional
failure such as a cable cut, the destination node would have detected the failure itself and
sourced a bridge request in the opposite direction around the ring.
 When the destination node receives the bridge request, it performs the bridge and bridges
the channels that were entering the failed span onto the protection channels in the
opposite direction. In addition, for signal fail-ring switches, the node also performs the
switch to protection channels.

 APS requests are also initiated based on multiplex section and equipment performance
criteria detected by the NE. All the working and protection channels are monitored
regardless of the failure or degradation conditions (i.e. after a switch has been completed,
all appropriate performance monitoring is continued). The NE initiates the following bridge
requests automatically: Signal Failure (SF), Signal Degrade (SD), Reverse Request (RR), and
Wait to Restore (WTR). The bridge requests are transmitted from NE to NE (not from NMS
to NE).

 The APS controller is responsible for generating and terminating the APS information
carried in the K1K2 bytes and implementing the APS algorithm. With the switching state of
each NE, the APS controller status is also changed.

 For two-fiber bidirectional multiplex section protection rings, as their traffic have uniform
routes and are sent bidirectional, time slots in the ring can be shared by all nodes, so the
total capacity is closely related to the traffic distribution mode and quantity of nodes on
the ring. The network capacity for two-fiber bidirectional multiplex section ring is
½*M*STM-N (M is the number of nodes on the ring, STM-N is the STM level). If we count
the protection channels as well, the maximum traffic load that a two-fiber bidirectional MS
shared protection ring can carry is M*STM-N. Nevertheless, half of the traffic would not be
protected in case of fiber failures.

 OptiX SDH Networking and Self-Healing Protection P-38

 Four-fiber MS shared protection rings require four fibers for each span of the ring.
Working and protection channels are carried over different fibers: two multiplex sections
transmitting in opposite directions carry the working channels while two multiplex sections,
also transmitting in opposite directions, carry the protection channels. This permits the
bidirectional transport of normal traffic. The multiplex section overhead is dedicated to
either working or protection channels since working and protection channels are not
transported over the same fibers.

 As network structures are becoming more and more complicated, the sub-network
connection protection (SNCP) is the only traffic protection mode that can be adapted to
various network topological structures with a fast switching time.
 The protection mechanism of SNCP is similar to the PP ring. But for SNCP, the protection
function will be completed in the cross-connect unit not PDH unit.

 OptiX SDH Networking and Self-Healing Protection P-47

 As shown in the figure , SNCP uses the 1+1 protection mode. Traffics are simultaneously
sent on both the working and protection sub-network connection. When the working sub-
network connection fails, or when its performance deteriorates to a certain level, at the
receiving end of the sub-network connection, the signal from the protection sub-network
connection is selected according to the preference selection rule. Switching usually takes
the unidirectional switching mode, thus it needs no APS protocol.

 The protection mechanism of SNCP ring is concurrent sending in the transmitting end and
selective receiving in the receiving end.
 Here is a ring chain combination network with 5 nodes. The ring network is SNCP ring.
 Suppose that there have E1 services from node A to the end node of the chain. The
services will concurrently sent to both working SNC and protection SNC. After passing
through subnetwork1 and subnetwork2 separately, they both reach node C. there is a
selector in node C, the SNC termination node. Normally, node C will receive the service
from the working SNC, then pass through to the line unit in the chain.
