Management Architecture
EMS-BGF
The EMS-BGF, BroadGate’s Element Management System, provides
full-feature BG-20, BG-30, and BG-64 support. The EMS-BGF supports two
modes: integrated and standalone. In integrated mode, the EMS-BGF functions
at the EML level in the TMN scheme, and is fully integrated with LightSoft
that provides complete NML functionality. It is designed as an open system in
compliance with the CORBA standard. In standalone mode, the EMS-BGF
provides full EML functions as well as numerous NML functions, including
network topology management, end-to-end (E2E) trail management, and so on.
This mode provides a very low-cost management solution for networks that
contain only BG-20, BG-30, and BG-64 NEs.

LightSoft Network Manager

LightSoft is a multidimensional Network Management System (NMS) that
manages the complete family of ECI Telecom EMSs. LightSoft enables
network operators to assume full control of network equipment.
The application is a unified NMS that provisions, monitors, and controls all
network layers, enabling users and operators to manage multiple technology
layers independently of the physical layer. The system offers on-demand
service provisioning, pinpoint bandwidth allocation, and dramatic reductions in
the equipment and operating costs that multiple management systems often
require. It does this by providing all facets of network management, netwide,
from a single platform.
Management features include configuration, fault detection, performance
management, administrative procedures, maintenance operations, and security
control. Within one integrated management system, LightSoft enables full
control of all NEs regardless of the manufacturer, and allows a complete view
of the network at a glance. With LightSoft, multiple operators can
simultaneously configure the network without any configuration conflicts.

BG-20E Platform Overview

To accommodate more add/drop capacity and functionality, a BG-20E platform
can be added to the BG-20B. The BG-20E platform is 243 mm deep, 440 mm
wide, and 88.9 mm high ,and has three extension slots for numerous types of
extension cards, such as the PE1_63, P345_3E, ESW_2G_8F_E, MPS_2G_8F,
SM_10E, and S1_4. In addition, the BG-20E platform houses a power-feeding
module that provides power feeding for all cards in the platform. Either a 220
VAC or -48 VDC power feed can be selected (the -48 VDC power feed
supports a dual-channel power supply). The fan unit used to cool the system is
located on the right side of the platform. The BG-20E platform is connected to
the BG-20B platform via a MiniBP, a passive component with a PCB and two
connectors. It is essentially an extension of the BG-20E backplane and is
included in the BG-20E platform package. The BG-20E supports live insertion,
allowing the installation of the platform on top of the BG-20B at any time
without affecting existing traffic in the BG-20B.

NOTE: Each card slot in the BG-20E has a capacity of up to 4

x VC-4s, and the total capacity of the BG-20E is 12 x VC-4s.

BG-20E Common Cards

The BG-20E has its own power-feeding modules. One type of power module
must be configured in the BG-20E unit in order for the platform to work, and
the unit is always shipped with one type of power module installed. Power
modules can be replaced in the field.

INF_20E
The INF_20E is a DC power-filter module that can be plugged into the
BG-20E platform. It performs the following functions:
 Dual DC power input and power supply for all modules in the BG-20E
 Input filtering function for the entire BG-20E platform
 Adjustable output voltage for fans in the BG-20E
 Indication of input power loss and detection of under-/over-voltage

Power Consumption
Management
BroadGate platforms support power consumption management to prevent
platform fault due to excessive power consumption caused by installing
additional cards.
The platform control card monitors the total power consumption of the cards
and components installed. If the user tries to assign an additional card that
exceeds the systems' maximum allowed power, the control displays a rejection
message that indicates the assignment is forbidden and blocks the assignment
request.
To avoid a system rejection message the user must consider the maximum
allowed power consumption of each platform before trying to assign additional
cards as follows:
 BG-20B - up to 70 W
 BG-30B (with INF-30B) - up to 130 W
 BG-30B (with INF-30BH) - up to 200 W
 BG-64 - up to 360 W

NOTE: When installing DMGE_4_L2, or DMGE_4_L1 cards

it is recommended to install them as follows:
 In BG-64 - slot I5
 In BG-30B - slot I1

In addition to the power consumption, the control cards monitor on-line the
ambient temperature of various cards by temperature sensors. The card controls
the fan units speed accordingly.
The fan units speed is configurable in two modes, via the EMS-BGF, as
follows:
 Auto - the fan speed is controlled by temperature with the following levels:
 Low - 27°C to 30°C
 Medium - 34°C to 37°C
 High - 41°C to 44°C (this level is available for the BG-64 only)
 Turbo - 48°C to 51°C
 Turbo - fans are always working in full speed (turbo)

Power Consumption
Management
BroadGate platforms support power consumption management to prevent
platform fault due to excessive power consumption caused by installing
additional cards.
The platform control card monitors the total power consumption of the cards
and components installed. If the user tries to assign an additional card that
exceeds the systems' maximum allowed power, the control displays a rejection
message that indicates the assignment is forbidden and blocks the assignment
request.
To avoid a system rejection message the user must consider the maximum
allowed power consumption of each platform before trying to assign additional
cards as follows:
 BG-20B - up to 70 W
 BG-30B (with INF-30B) - up to 130 W
 BG-30B (with INF-30BH) - up to 200 W
 BG-64 - up to 360 W

NOTE: When installing DMGE_4_L2, or DMGE_4_L1 cards

it is recommended to install them as follows:
 In BG-64 - slot I5
 In BG-30B - slot I1

Traffic Cable for PME1_63

The PME1_63 has a special 272-pin VHDCI female connector for connecting
to its 63 x E1 interfaces. A special cable offered by ECI Telecom is used to
make the connection.
The cable is constructed of three main parts:
 Double 136-pin VHDCI male connector with three pairs of 30AWG cable
tails
 Conversion cable-size box
 Three pairs of 26AWG cables

Figure 5-3: PME1_63 traffic cable

The three 30AWG cable pairs connect on one side to the double 136-pin
VHDCI connector and on the other side to the conversion box. The conversion
box connects between the three 30AWG cable pairs and three pairs of 26AWG
cables, making the wire-size conversion. The 26AWG cables are connected at
the other end to the customer's DDF. Each cable in a pair is bonded to the
other, shaping a figure-eight pattern.

Pluggable Interfaces
(SFPs/XFPs)
SFPs are a new variety of modular optical transceivers with a small footprint
and low power consumption. SFP transceivers operate at rates of up to 2.7
Gbps with either electrical or optical ports, including both colored and
noncolored interfaces (C/DWDM).
The SFP transceiver modules are used for the entire spectrum of interfaces,
including intraoffice, short and long ranges, and the interchangeable transceiver
components that are utilized throughout the product line. The standardized
modular design of the transceiver components facilitates network maintenance
and upgrades. Instead of replacing an entire circuit board containing a number
of soldered modules, a single module can be removed/replaced for repair or
upgrade, providing significant cost savings.
All transceivers provide power monitoring capabilities. The SFPs for STM-16
have the added capability of using low-cost colored interfaces (C/DWDM),
further reducing maintenance costs. Transceivers provide a significant
advantage for the SDH and data cards used in the BG-20 and BG-30 platforms.

Ethernet Layer 2 Switching

Cards
Ethernet Layer 2 cards are used to provide Layer 2 services with full VLAN
support to end users over SDH networks.
To support these services, Layer 2 cards installed in the platforms are
interconnected by SDH trails that serve as EoS links. Virtual Concatenation
(VCAT) with Generic Frame Procedure (GFP) encapsulation at VC-4, VC-3,
and VC-12 levels is used to provide the required bandwidth. The resulting
network appears as an Ethernet switch to the end users.
Ethernet Layer 2 cards use link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) to provide
dynamic bandwidth allocation on trails carrying the EoS links. The number of
SDH containers in the link is automatically decreased if one or more VCs fail,
and automatically increased when the fault is repaired.
BroadGate Product Line Layer 2 service cards provide optical or electrical
Ethernet interfaces and support VC-12/3/4 granularity on their EoS side. They
offer full interoperability with the data cards of the XDM Product Line and 3rd
party equipment.

MPLS and Ethernet Data Cards BroadGate Product Line Reference
Manual

The BroadGate Product Line includes the following Ethernet Layer 2 cards:
 BG-20B_L2
 ESW_2G_8F_E
The following sections provide a detailed description of the main functions.

Generic Framing Procedure

GFP, defined in ITU-T Rec. G.7041, is a protocol for mapping data packets
into a synchronous transport system like SDH. GFP requires a fixed amount of
overhead for encapsulation that is independent of the data packets. This allows
deterministic matching of bandwidth between the Ethernet flow and the
virtually concatenated SDH stream.
To cater for all mapping requirements, two mapping modes are defined for
GFP:
 Frame mapped - used for connections where efficiency and flexibility are
essential and reasonable latency can be tolerated
 Transparent mapped - facilitates the transport of block-coded client signals
(like Fiber Channel, ESCON, or FICON) that require very low
transmission latency
BroadGate Layer 2 service cards support the GFP-F (frame-based) mode.

Virtual concatenation
VCAT, defined in ITU-T Rec. G.707, is a technique used to give SDH
additional flexibility in transporting client signals requiring a bandwidth that
does not match the bandwidth granularity of SDH networks.
The approach used by VCAT is to combine the bandwidth available on an
arbitrary number of SDH containers (configured as a virtual concatenated
group - VCG) in a way that creates a single logical channel capable of carrying
a single byte-synchronous data stream.
With virtual concatenation, the individual containers are transported over the
SDH network independently and then recombined to restore the original
payload signal at the endpoint of the transmission path. Differential delay due
to the different path of each VC is compensated at the end of the path as part of
regrouping the VCs of a VCG.

6-4 ECI Telecom Ltd. Proprietary 426006-2714-013-A04

BroadGate Product Line Reference MPLS and Ethernet Data Cards
Manual

Virtual concatenation has the following benefits:

 Scalability - allows bandwidth to be selected in VC-4, VC-3, or VC-12
increments, as required, to match the desired payload data rate.
 Efficiency - the resulting signals are easily routed through the SDH
network, making more efficient use of available bandwidth on existing
networks.
 Compatibility - virtual concatenation requires only the end nodes to be
aware of the containers being virtually concatenated, making the signals
transparent to the core NEs.
The fine bandwidth management made possible by VCAT is particularly
effective for the efficient transport of data services that inherently comprise
variable bitrates. For example, consider the transport of a partially filled GbE
signal. Although the nominal bandwidth is 1 Gbps, often the instantaneous rate
is only 200 Mbps to 300 Mbps. Thus, continuous allocation to this GbE signal
of a bandwidth equal to the peak value (1 Gbps), as done in pure transport
applications, wastes on average 70% of the network bandwidth. With VCAT,
an optimal bandwidth close to the average bandwidth requirements is selected,
for example, a bandwidth of 300 Mbps. To handle the peak bandwidth
requirements, ingress buffers are used to shape the peak traffic to match the
provisioned bandwidth.

Link Capacity Assignment Scheme

LCAS, defined in ITU-T Rec. G.7042, enables dynamic changes in the amount
of bandwidth used for a virtual concatenation channel. Signaling messages are
exchanged within the SDH overhead in order to change the number of
members included in the VCG. The number of members can either be reduced
or increased, and the resulting bandwidth change is applied without loss of
data.
BroadGate Layer 2 cards support the dynamic bandwidth adjustment provided
by LCAS functionality. Dynamic bandwidth adjustment allows the increasing
or decreasing of the bandwidth of a VCG link. Typical scenarios where this
capability is used include:
 Automatic removal of failed members temporarily from an active VCG and
transferring traffic only via the remaining operational members. When the
failure condition is fixed, the Layer 2 card set adds the members back into
the group. This is also useful for traffic protection.
 Adjusting the link bandwidth to the bandwidth required by an application.
If the bandwidth allocation is only for the average amount of traffic and not
the full peak bandwidth, and the average bandwidth usage changes
overtime, the allocation can be modified to reflect this change.

MPLS and Ethernet Data Cards BroadGate Product Line Reference
Manual

Layer 2 Switching Capabilities

The BroadGate Layer 2 cards incorporate a Layer 2 Provider Bridge Ethernet
switch that supports VLANs and double tagging per IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1p.
QoS is controlled by four CoS, together with strict priority queuing and full
buffer allocation per QoS.
To provide prioritized/differentiated services, the client's traffic is policed and
classified as follows:
 The rate of the flow at the ingress is limited according to a configured
Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Committed Burst Size (CBS).
 Each packet is classified according to one of four CoS by marking it with a
configured 802.1Q and a user priority (802.1p).
Client's flows are policed to conform to the specific Service Level Agreement
(SLA). 128 policers are available on each module that can be allocated to each
of the module ports.
The Weighed Random Early Discard (WRED) technique used to smooth traffic
pattern under congestion conditions supports the policing procedure as follows:
 When traffic exceeds the module capabilities, it must discard packets. Any
TCP client detecting discarded packets will reduce its transmission rate to
half. After packets are no longer discarded, the rate will slowly be
increased as long as there is no packet loss.
 If the module would discard packets only during congestion conditions,
traffic volume would suffer from the sawtooth syndrome: after a series of
packets are discarded, all the clients would drop their rate to half, resulting
in partial utilization of the network. Together they will again increase the
rate until the network is congested again.
WRED prevents this behavior by discarding a small part of the packets before
its buffers are full. As a result, only a small number of TCP clients decrease
their rate and traffic utilization does not drop.
BroadGate Layer 2 cards support WRED, and its characteristics are separately
configurable for each of the four priority classes of the internal Ethernet switch.

FDB Quota Provisioning

Ethernet frames are forwarded according to their Destination MAC address and
VLAN ID. The forwarding information is stored in a filtering data base (FDB)
(routing table). The size of this database is limited; therefore, to free space for
new addresses, the entries are automatically removed after a configurable aging
time. If the address and VID of a packet do not match any entry in the table, the
packet is flooded (sent to all output ports).
A MAC address storm from a VPN may occupy all free resources of the
address table. In the absence of free resources, packets with new addresses are
not learned. This causes the addresses to be flooded and overload the egress
ports.
The FDB quota provisioning minimizes this effect by letting the operator to set
a limited amount of entries (MAC addresses) per VPN (S-VLAN) and block
any client port that exceeds the limit. Although in BroadGate Layer 2 cards
any client may exceed their quota, they, since FDB quota violation, reduce the
aging time to minimum to free the FDB from the new entries and block the
interfering client port to prevent it from continuing to overload the FDB.

Triggers for MSTP

MSTP prevents the creation of loops and enables the protection of Ethernet
traffic by the ring topologies used in SDH networks.
Link bandwidth reduction as a result of failures in VC members of a VCG may
in turn cause service degradation performance. In such cases the MSTP is
activated to change the network topology and overcome the failure. The
BroadGate Layer 2 cards have a set of link capacity-related parameters that are
used as triggers for MSTP:
 No members provisioned on the Tx direction
 No members provisioned on the Rx direction
 Partial Loss of Capacity (PLCr) on the receive side
 Partial Loss of Capacity (PLCt) on the transmit side
 Total Loss of Capacity (TLCr) on the receive side
 Total Loss of Capacity (TLTr) on the transmit side
 Link Fail Detection (LFD)
 Remote Defect Indication (RDI) on at least one member in the VCG (only
for VCAT mode)
The threshold values of the TLCr and PLCr can be set by the user.

Standard BPDU Frames

Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) are sent by every bridge in the network to
acknowledge the neighboring bridges of its port roles. This information serves
the system to figure out the roles all its ports play during activation of the
RSTP.
The BroadGate Layer 2 cards support standard BPDU frames, which enable
interoperability with other BroadGate data cards and modules, with XDM data
cards, as well as with 3rd party equipment.

Port-based VLANs
Client frames may enter the provider's network tagged or untagged. A client
that provides tagged frames attaches his CVLAN (Client VLAN ID) and
priority bits to the Ethernet frames. The provider uses this information to
identify the client and decide how to handle the traffic within his network.
In many cases the provider is not allowed to change the client tagging because
the client needs it to continue the traffic handling at the far end. To facilitate
traffic handling, the provider attaches his SVLAN (Service Provider VLAN)
containing VLAN ID (VID) and CoS bits at the ingress port, and removes them
at the egress.

Attach/Detach VLAN
BroadGate Layer 2 cards enable the provider to add a VLAN tag to incoming
untagged frames. This VLAN is named PVID and is maintained throughout the
network. The PVID enables the operator to identify different clients arriving
from different ports, even after being multiplexed in point-to-multipoint
(P2MP) configurations. The PVID is detached from the frames that are
outgoing from the same port which was configured to attach and detach PVID.

UNI on EoS Ports

The BroadGate Layer 2 cards enable serving client traffic arriving through EoS
ports as if they were received from ETY ports. This enables the provider to
give the client “port extension” services. For example, a client that is far from
the providers' BroadGate Layer 2 card location uses a BroadGate Layer 1 card
to map his Ethernet traffic over SDH, and reaches the provider via the SDH
network. This traffic is directed to a Layer 2 card EoS port. The traffic is
demapped and enters the card. It is then handled as regular traffic that enters
the card via a regular ETY port.

NNI on ETY Ports

BroadGate Layer 2 cards enable configuring the ETY port as NNI. Traffic in
such ports use QinQ where the S-VLAN of the BroadGate Layer 2 cards
network is maintained and transmitted towards the client equipment.

Additional Features
Additional supported features include:
 Autonegotiation - supported by ETY ports to select common transmission
parameters with the customer's equipment connected. The port capable of
transmission at various rates (10/100 Mbps or 10/100/1000 Mbps) and
mode (full duplex) exchanges data with the connected device. The two
devices then choose the best possible mode of operation that is shared by
both, where higher speed is preferred over lower speed.
 Store and Forwarding - mechanism used to check the integrity of the
frame at the ingress port. The frame's source and destination address and
CRC are checked. Only error-free frames are forwarded, and frames with
errors are dropped.
 Layer 2 Control Protocol Handling - Ethernet ports handle some specific
MAC addresses in a special way in order to provide predicted efficient
behavior of the network. As opposed to a standard service frame that is
transported untouched from side to side, these special frames should be
treated differently. For example, PAUSE frames have their meaning only
within the local link and therefore should be discarded immediately upon
reception. Other MAC addresses are configurable to be discarded or
forwarded transparently.

Access Control List

The Access Control List (ACL) is a list of permissions attached to an object.
The list specifies who or what is allowed to access the object and what
operations are allowed to be performed on the object. In a typical ACL, each
entry in the list specifies a subject and an operation. One of the most important
implementations is to protect routers from various risks, both accidental and
malicious. Infrastructure protection ACLs should be deployed at network
ingress points.

Access-Controlled Management
Intelligent management access controls are needed at the customer edge to
keep unauthorized users from accessing the provider’s network. Preventing
denial of service attacks involves deciding whether to accept, discard, or
monitor certain traffic.

Port Mirroring
Port mirroring helps the supervisor monitor the network. Port mirroring copies
traffic from a specific port to a target port, namely, copying the packets
entering or exiting a port, or entering a VLAN, to a local port for local
monitoring. This mechanism helps track network errors or abnormal packet
transmission without interrupting the flow of data. Moreover, the port
mirroring feature enables a basic "lawful interception" application for future
development.

Figure 6-2: Port mirroring description

C-VLAN Translation
This unique feature enables the merging of two different customer VLANs
from different locations. Due to the VLAN translation at the edge of the
provider network, two different VLANs that are located in different places can
be merged into one VLAN, or an external S-VLAN of another provider can be
mapped to an internal S-VLAN.
Only one C-VLAN translation per UNI port per VSI is supported.
C-VLAN translation is bidirectional.

C-VLAN Bundling
VLAN bundling carries the traffic of multiple VLANs. Multiple customer
C-VLANs can map through a single Ethernet service on the UNI. All-to-one
bundling is a special case whereby all customer VLANs map to a single
Ethernet service at the UNI.

Ingress/Egress C-VLAN Filtering

Ingress/Egress C-VLAN filtering is a means of filtering out undesired traffic on
a port. When VLAN filtering is enabled, packets are only accepted or
transmitted into a port if they match the VLAN configuration of that port.
Based on whether the port is on the ingress list of the VLAN associated with a
frame, the port determines whether the frame can be processed.

Layer 2 Card Services

BroadGate Layer 2 cards support the following services:
 Transparent LAN Service (TLS) - connects multiple ports belonging to
the same customers over shared SDH bandwidth, with user-defined grades
of service.
 Virtual Leased Line (VLL) - connects two external ports over shared
SDH bandwidth.
 Dedicated VLL - VLL service over SDH capacity dedicated only to a
single customer. Provides zero packet loss, virtually no delay, and zero
delay variation.
 Guaranteed VLL - VLL with zero frame loss rate and bounded delay and
delay variation.
 ISP connectivity - a single port configured as an ISP port connected to
multiple customer ports (up to a maximum of 4096).
 Ethernet Private Line (EPL) - support provisioning to provide EPL
services point-to-point (P2P) interconnection between two Ethernet UNI
over dedicated EoS trails.
Multiple types of services can be provisioned on one port, where each service
is policed independently at the ingress. This imposes a strict limit on the input
rate, separately for each service.
The customer may mark frames destined for different services based on port
802.1Q and 802.1p tag.

MPLS Service Cards

The MPLS family cards are the MPLS carrier class switch cards for the
BroadGate Product Line. They enable service providers to build a
cost-effective carrier class Ethernet network over new and existing SDH
networks, supporting any Ethernet-based application and service, including
business connectivity (VPLS), triple play (IPTV drop-and-continue multicast),
3G mobile services, and wholesale/CoC Ethernet leased line (LL) and
bandwidth services, all with carrier grade capability.
The MPLS cards offer up to 3.5 Gbps Ethernet and/or MPLS switching
capacity, and up to 2.5 Gbps EoS bandwidth.
The MPLS cards incorporate the following functions:
 Ethernet Provider Bridge (QinQ) switch – a standard base 802.1d/q/ad
bridge/switch.
 MPLS Layer 2 switch – a standard base IETF MPLS and ITU-T T-MPLS
switch supporting Ethernet PseudoWire (PW), Virtual Private LAN Service
(VPLS), and P2MP multicast trees.
 SDH mapper – supporting standard Ethernet, and MPLS mapping to
GFP/VCAT/LCAS with SDH VC-12/3/4 granularity.
 Ethernet ports – incorporating GbE ports and FE ports.
 Up to 8/64 EoS/MoT (WAN) ports - with standard GFP/VCAT/LCAS
mapping with SDH n x VC-12/3/4 (VCG) granularity.
Each MPLS card includes an Ethernet switch, an MPLS switch, and an SDH
mapper. A powerful Network Processor Unit (NPU) incorporated in each card
fulfills the functions of Ethernet and MPLS switches. The NPU is software
programmable, allowing the cards to work as an Ethernet Provider Bridge

SM_C37.94
The SM_C37.94 module provides two teleprotection interfaces per IEEE

between different vendors' teleprotection equipment and multiplexer devices,
using multimode optical fibers.
In general, teleprotection equipment is employed to control and protect
different system elements in electricity distribution lines.
Traditionally, the interface between teleprotection equipment and multiplexers
in high-voltage environments at electric utilities was copper-based. This media
transfers the critical information to the network operation center. These
high-speed, low-energy signal interfaces are vulnerable to intra-substation
electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI and RFI), signal ground
loops, and ground potential rise, which considerably reduce the reliability of
communications during electrical faults.
The optimal solution is based on optical fibers. Optical fibers do not have
ground paths and are immune to noise interference, which eliminates data
errors common to electrical connections.

BGW-E MRAN Expansion Platforms BroadGate Product Line Reference
Manual

BGW-E and BGW-20E platforms are 2U high density modular radio add-ons
for multiservice base units. They support the complete range of native and
hybrid TDM, PDH, SDH, and Ethernet services, over microwave, fiber, or
electrical media, with up to six radio directions. This is a versatile, scalable,
cost-effective add-on for existing BroadGate MSPP platforms. Integrating this
add-on platform into the network configuration is non-traffic-affecting.

Figure 8-1: BGW-20E expansion unit

Both the BGW-E/20E platforms share the following basic design.

 Three multiservice traffic slots for microwave radio, data, or TDM traffic,
depending on the card used:
 BroadGate MSPP I/O extension cards are used for data and TDM
traffic.
 An MW_2M base card in the traffic slot accommodates one or two
MIF_E or MIF_EX cards for transmitting radio signals.
Radio input is transmitted from a radio antenna via coaxial cable to the
Modem Intermediate Frequency (MIF) modules. The radio signal is
then demuxed into any combination of GbE and TDM signals and
routed through the backplane to the appropriate destination in the base
platform.
BGW-E/20E platforms work in the BroadGate MSPP base platforms
with the MW_2M base card.
 Redundant pathways for each interface type, providing a wide range of
configuration options with enhanced resilience.
 Up to two INF modules provide redundant power sources.
 An FCU with multiple fans provides redundant cooling capabilities.

 MPS_2G_8F, Layer 2 card supporting 2 x GbE combo ports,
8 x 10/100BaseT ports, and up to 64 EoS/MoT ports with total
bandwidth of 4 x VC-4.
 TP21_2, E1 2:1 I/O protection card for 21 ports.
 TP63_1, E1 1:1 I/O protection card for 63 ports.
 TPS1_1, high-rate (3 x E3, 4 x STM-1e) 1:1 I/O protection card for up
to 4 ports.
 Two slots for INF-WE power supply units supporting up to 480 W. There
are two units for system redundancy.
 One FCU-WE fan unit consisting of three separate fans to support cooling
system redundancy. Note that the unit is extractable in the BGW-20E and
fixed in the BG-20E.
The following figure depicts the layout of the basic BGW-E/20E platform.

BGW-E/20E Common Cards

The following modules in the BGW-E/20E provide the common functionality
for an MSPP system:
 INF_WE: provides DC power feeding with input filtering. A BGW-E/20E
platform is usually configured with two INF_WEs for redundancy
 FCU_W20E: provides cooling for the BGW-20E platform.
 FCU_WE: provides cooling for the BGW-E platform.

NOTE: The INF_WE is used in both the BGW-E and

BGW-20E. The fan units for these platforms are very similar
but have different markings on their front panel.

INF_WE
The INF_WE is a DC power-filter module that can be plugged into the BGW-E
or BGW-20E platforms. Two INF_WE modules are needed for power feeding
redundancy. The module performs the following functions:
 Single DC power input and power supply for all modules in the
BGW-E/20E
 Input filtering function for the entire BGW-E/20E platform
 Adjustable output voltage for fans in the BGW-E/20E
 Indication of input power loss and detection of under-/over-voltage
 Shutting down of the power supply when under-/over-voltage is detected

MIF Modules
MIF modules are inserted into MW_2M base cards used in BGW-E/20E
expansion platforms. They receive incoming signals from a radio antenna
connected to an ODU, and convert them to TDM or Ethernet traffic for
transmission through the rest of the network. (The radio signals are actually
collected by the radio antenna, converted to an IF by the ODU, and transmitted
through a coaxial cable to the MIF module.) Supported features include:
 Automatic Transmitter Power Control (ATPC)
 ACM for smooth flow control with no packet loss and intelligent
congestion management through profiling based on CoS and color
MIF modules can be configured in different protection options against link,
module, or MW_2M card failures. The switching mechanism is internal to the
BGW-E/20E platform through the internal XC or base platform control card
and does not require system or network intervention.

MIF_E
The MIF_E is a type of MIF module for the BGW-E/20E expansion platforms
inserted into MW_2M base cards.
MIF modules can be configured in protection mode to protect each other, as
follows:
 Two MIF modules installed in the same MW_2M (horizontally) protect
each other
 Two MIF modules installed in adjacent MW_2M cards (vertically) protect
each other.
The last option is possible only for MW_2M cards installed in the upper TS
slots in the BGW-E/20E.

MIF_EX
MIF_EX modules transmit the IF radio signal received on the incoming coaxial
cable from the ODU through a TNC connection. These modules provide
enhanced capacity through Cross-Polarization Interference Cancelation (XPIC)
functionality. MIF_EX modules are inserted into MW_2M base cards used in
BGW-E/20E expansion platforms.
Microwave radio energy spreads in waves, transmitting in both horizontal and
vertical directions. This physical phenomenon enables the transmission of RF
signals in both polarizations at the same time. The transmission provides two
communication channels over the same link, while doubling the channel
capacity.
Each polarization demodulator path receives a large signal of the opposite
polarization, causing cross-polarization interference. XPIC systems filter the
interference signal in order to successfully receive or decode the desired signal.
In this way two separate data streams can be transmitted over the same channel.

426006-2714-013-A04 ECI Telecom Ltd. Proprietary 8-11

BGW-E MRAN Expansion Platforms BroadGate Product Line Reference
Manual

Basically in XPIC, the receive path of one polarization receives the desired
signal with a cross-polarization (interfering) signal. A small amount of the
cross-polarization signal is injected into the receiver, which subtracts the
signals. This cancels the interfering signal, resulting in the desired polarization
signal. The same process is done in the second polarization path as well.
For normal operation in XIPIC mode, two MIF_EX modules must be installed
in adjacent slots of the same MW_2M base card: one handles the horizontal
signal and the other the vertical.

Figure 8-10: MIF_EX installation for XPIC

MIF_EX modules installed in MW_2M cards in BGW-E/20E platforms can be

configured in protection mode to protect each other only if they are installed in
two different MW_2M cards directly one above the other and are handling the
same signal type (vertical or horizontal).

RAP-4B
The RAP-4B is a power distribution and alarm panel for ECI Telecom
platforms installed in racks.

NOTE: The RAP-4B supports operation with BG, XDM

(100, 300, 900), and 9600 series platforms.

The RAP-4B performs the following main functions:

 Power distribution for up to four protected platforms installed on the
same rack. The nominal DC power voltage is 48 VDC or 60 VDC. Since
the supported platforms can use redundant power sources, the RAP-4B
supports connection to two separate DC power circuits.
Each DC power circuit of each platform is protected by a circuit breaker,
which also serves as a power on/off switch for the corresponding circuit.
The required circuit breakers are included in the installation parts kit
supplied with the platforms, and therefore their current rating is in
accordance with the order requirements. The CB rating installed in the
RAP-4B for feeding a single platform is max. 35 A. The total power that
can be provided by the RAP-4B is max. 4 x 1.1 kW (4.4 kW).

NOTE: The maximum power that can be supplied by the

RAP-4B to a single platform is not more than 1.1 kW.

The circuit breakers are installed during the RAP-4B installation. To

prevent accidentally changing a circuit breaker state, the circuit breakers
can be reached only after removing the RAP-4B front cover. The circuit
breaker state (ON/OFF) can be seen through translucent covers.
 Bay alarm indications: The RAP-4B includes three alarm indicators, one
for each alarm severity. When alarms of different severities are received
simultaneously, the different alarm indications light simultaneously.

NOTE: BG platforms support only two alarm indications,

Major and Minor.

A buzzer is activated whenever a Major or Critical alarm is present in an

XDM platform or a Major alarm in a BG or 9600 series platform connected
to the RAP-4B.
 Connection of alarms from up to four platforms, with max. four alarm
inputs and two alarm outputs.

RAP-BG
The RAP-BG is a DC power distribution panel for BG platforms installed in
racks. It distributes power for up to four 9300 platforms installed on the same
rack. The nominal DC power voltage is -48 VDC, -60 VDC, or 24 VDC. Since
9200 series platforms can use redundant power sources, the RAP-BG supports
connection to two separate DC power circuits.
Each DC power circuit of each platform is protected by a circuit breaker, which
also serves as a power ON/OFF switch for the corresponding circuit. The
required circuit breakers are included in the installation parts kit supplied with
the 9300 platforms, and therefore their current rating is in accordance with the
order requirements. The maximum current that can be supplied to a platform
fed from the RAP-BG is 16A.
The circuit breakers are installed during the RAP-BG installation. To prevent
accidental changing of a circuit breaker state, the circuit breakers can be
reached only after opening the front cover of the RAP-BG. The circuit breaker
state (ON or OFF) can be seen through translucent covers.
The following figure shows the front panel of the RAP-BG, and the table lists
the functions of the front panel components as indicated by the figure callouts.

xRAP-100
The xRAP-100 is a power distribution and alarm panel for BG platforms
installed in racks. The xRAP-100 performs the following main functions:
 Power distribution for up to four BG platforms: The nominal DC power
voltage is -48 VDC or -60 VDC. Since BG platforms can use redundant
power sources, the xRAP-100 supports connection to two separate DC
power circuits. The internal circuits of the xRAP-100 are powered
whenever at least one power source is connected. The presence of DC
power within the xRAP-100 is indicated by a POWER ON indicator.
Each DC power circuit of each platform is protected by a circuit breaker,
which also serves as a power ON/OFF switch for the corresponding circuit.
The required circuit breakers are included in the installation parts kit
supplied with the BG platforms, and therefore their current rating is in
accordance with the order requirements. The 5-pin high power connector
supplies power to one platform. The 3-pin connector supplies power to
three platforms.
The xRAP-100 is designed to support one high powered and three regular
platforms, or four regular platforms.
The circuit breakers are installed during the xRAP-100 installation. To
prevent accidental changing of a circuit breaker state, the circuit breakers
can be reached only after opening the front cover of the xRAP-100. The
circuit breaker state (ON or OFF) can be seen through translucent covers.
 Bay alarm indications: The xRAP-100 includes four alarm indicators, one
for each alarm severity. When alarms of different severities are received
simultaneously, the different alarm indications light simultaneously.
A buzzer is activated whenever a Major or Critical alarm is present in BG
platforms installed in the rack.
 Connection of alarms from up to four BG platforms, each one with a
maximum of four alarm inputs and two alarm outputs.
The following figure shows the front panel of the xRAP-100, and the table lists
the functions of the front panel components as indicated by the figure callouts.

Fiber Storage Tray

When optical modules are used, the BG can be supplied with an FST where a
length of surplus optical fiber is stored to enable hot module replacement
without disconnecting fibers from other modules in the platform. The FST can
hold up to 48 x 3 m 2-mm fibers.
The FST can be opened in two positions:
 Halfway (first click when pulling the tray out)
 Completely (to enable threading of the fibers in the tray)

Optical Distribution Frame

When there are a large number of optical fibers connected to a BG, additional
connection arrangements may be required.
ECI Telecom recommends using an ODF installed in the BG racks to terminate
the external fibers with the proper optical connectors.
The ODF provides a flexible and reliable solution for interfacing between
outside plant optical fiber cables and fiber optical terminal equipment. It is
designed to handle termination, splicing, and storage for excess length of
pigtails and patch cords.
The unit is 1U high, and can be installed in ETSI A and ETSI B racks, as well
as in 19” racks using its configurable rack-mounting brackets. An additional set
of brackets supplied with the installation kit enables installation in 7’ bay, 23”
racks. The ODF is available with 12 or 24 ports, and SC, FC, or LC connectors.

Accessories BroadGate Product Line Reference
Manual

All fiber connections are made on a swing-out tray that opens to the right at 90°
and houses the splicing trays, optical adapter panels, and the fiber support.
Left-side tray opening is available on request. The swing-out tray enables quick
and easy access to all internal parts for connection or maintenance activities.
The fiber connections are protected by a front cover, which latches to the
assembly and prevents unintended disconnection of fibers.

Figure 9-23: ODF front panel

Optical terminal fibers can enter the ODF from the right or left side and be
connected to the optical adapters from one side. Pigtails connect to the adapters
from the other side. Excess length of pigtails and patch cords is threaded on a
fiber support that maintains the minimum bend radius to prevent fiber breaks.
A durable and robust tube leads the external fibers cable to the swing-out tray
and protects them from breaks. The adapters are arranged on panels in groups
of four or two (depending on the total number of ports). A large space between
the adapters enables easy access to each individual fiber and quick
reconfiguration.

Optical Patch Panel

When a large number of equipment optical ports have to be connected to the
optical network and splicing to external fibers (as in the ODF) is not required,
ECI Telecom recommends the use of the OPP.
The OPP is designed for terminating and distributing optical fibers, and can
work as a cross connection and testing point between the optical network and
the equipment. It provides a quick and flexible solution for cable management.
The OPP is 1U high and can be installed in ETSI A, ETSI B, and 19” racks
using its configurable rack-mounting brackets. The OPP is available with 12 or
24 ports, and SC, LC, and FC connectors.
All connections are made on the internal connector panel, which
accommodates duplex connectors. This prevents unintended disconnection of
fibers and supports the connection reliability. The optical fibers are connected
to the connectors from both sides. The fibers enter the OPP from the left or
right side and are threaded on special supports that maintain the minimum bend
radius to prevent fiber breaks.

xDDF-21
The PME1_21 supports only balanced E1s directly from its connectors. For
unbalanced E1s, an external DDF with E1 balanced-to-unbalanced conversion
must be configured.
When unbalanced 75 Ω interfaces are required, the xDDF-21 patch panel
enables connection and conversion of these interfaces to the balanced 120 Ω
interfaces of the PME1_21.
The xDDF-21 is 1U high and can be installed in ETSI A and ETSI B racks, as
well as in 19” racks. It has a capacity of 21 E1 lines.
The following figure shows a general view of the patch panel. The channel
numbers of the various connectors are marked on the patch panel, and the
inside of the cover contains a label for cable identification (illustrated in the
following figure). The customer’s cables are connected to the connectors inside
the patch panel, while the cable leading from the PME1_21 connector is
connected to the SCSI connectors at the rear of the xDDF-21. A special split
cable is available to convert the output from the PME1_21 to SCSI connector
pairs at the back of the xDDF-21.
The xDDF-21 can be supplied with BT43, DIN1.6/5.6, or BNC connectors for
connecting to the customer’s traffic cables.

Ring Topology ............................................................................................... 10-2
Multi-Ring Topology ..................................................................................... 10-2
Mesh Topology .............................................................................................. 10-3

Overview
This chapter describes SDH network topologies. As the topology of networks is
determined by communication requirements, the actual topology of any
practical network is often a combination of several basic topologies.
Because of the flexible fine granularity of their cross-connect matrix, BG-20,
BG-30 and BG-64 platforms can support any network topology. They can also
easily adapt to changing network topologies as the customer’s needs evolve.

P2P Topology
A P2P topology is usually used to connect a terminal multiplexer (TM) to an
access node with an ADM.
The link requires two fibers. An additional set of fibers can be used for
protection, which can be implemented using SNCP or MSP 1+1.

SDH Topologies BroadGate Product Line Reference
Manual

Ring Topology
Ring topology is the basic topology for reliable SDH networks. The ring
provides two propagation directions, thus providing a redundant path for
recovery from the failure of any single segment.

Figure 10-2: Ring topology

Multi-Ring Topology
Multi-ring topology consists of several rings that interconnect at certain nodes,
with the main ring providing connectivity among the secondary rings.
Applications include metro and resilient backhaul networks.
When a secondary ring (for example, the top ring) joins the main ring at two

Mesh Topology
Mesh topology consists of nodes interconnected by many P2P links, providing
dense connectivity among the nodes.

NOTE: The border between multiring and mesh topologies is

often blurred. For example, the network shown in the
following figure could easily be redrawn as a complex set of
interconnected rings.

Overview
The BroadGate Product Line supports various high-reliability traffic protection
mechanisms, including SDH Path/Circuit Protection Schemes and MSP 1+1 at
the SDH level. For Ethernet traffic, LCAS-based protection is supported.
Collectively, these proven redundancy mechanisms ensure the complete
integrity of all traffic transfers.

Mechanisms Manual

SNCP
SNCP provides independent trail protection for individual subnetworks
connected to the BroadGate Product Line platforms. Combined with the
system’s drop-and-continue capability, SNCP is a powerful defense against
multifailure conditions in a mesh topology. By integrating SNCP into the
BroadGate Products, operators achieve superior traffic availability figures.
Therefore, SNCP is extremely important for leased lines or other traffic
requiring superior SLA availability.
Both SNCP/N and SNCP/I at any VC level (VC-4, VC-3, VC-12) are
supported. The SNCP mode can be configured through the
EMS-BGF/LCT-BGF per VC. Automatic SNCP switching is enabled, without
operator intervention or path redefinition. The BroadGate Product Line can
support path protection even when the MXC20, MCP30, or MCP64 fails or is
out. The result is exceptionally fast protection switching in less than 30 msec,
with typical switching taking only a few milliseconds. Protection switching is
performed via the cross-connect matrix in the MXC20, XIO30, or XIO64
cards.

MSP 1+1
The BroadGate Product Line provides unidirectional and bidirectional linear
multiple section protection (MSP 1+1). The MSP 1+1 scheme is designed to
protect single optical links, including fibers and SFP modules. This type of
protection is most suitable for appendage TM/star links for providing 4-fiber
protection in chain topologies.
The BG-20 can support the following MSP 1+1 groups of STM-1/4 interfaces:
 Any two STM-1 interfaces in the BG-20B and BG-20E platform (MXC-20,
SMD1/SMD1H, S1_4)
 Any two STM-4 interfaces in the BG-20B platform (MXC-20,
OMS4B/OMS4H)
The BG-30 and BG-64 enable both unidirectional and bidirectional automatic
MSP 1+1 switching, without operator intervention or path redefinition. The
BG-30/BG-64 can support unidirectional MSP 1+1 protection even when the
MCP30/MCP64 fails or is out. However, the MCP30/MCP64 is needed to
support bidirectional MSP 1+1 protection. MSP1+1 protection switching is
performed via the cross-connect matrix in the XIO30/XIO64 cards.
The BG-30 can support an MSP 1+1 group of two STM-1/4/16 interfaces, as
follows:
 Any two STM-1 interfaces of XIO30, SMD1B, S1_4, SMQ1&4
 Any two STM-4 interfaces of XIO30, SMS4, SMD4, SMQ1&4, S4_1
 Any two STM-16 interfaces of XIO30, SMS16

The BG-64 can support an MSP 1+1 group of any two STM-1/4/16/64
interfaces, as follows:
 Any two STM-1 interfaces of SMQ1&4;
 Any two STM-4 interfaces of SMQ1&4
 Any two STM-16 interfaces of SMS16
 Two STM-64 interfaces of XIO64
The following figure shows a 4-fiber star BroadGate Product Line with all links
protected. This ensures uninterrupted service even in the case of a double fault.
MSP switching within 50 msec is automatically performed.

Figure 11-1: MSP 1+1 protection modes

NOTE: More than two STM-n interfaces will be supported in

later versions.

MS-SPRing
In addition to SNCP protection that may also be implemented in mesh
topologies, BG supports MS-SPRing that provides bandwidth advantages for
selected ring-based traffic patterns.
Two-fiber MS-SPRing supports any 2.5 Gbps rings closed by BG via the
XIO30_16/XIO16_4 card or 10Gbps rings closed by BG via the XIO64 card, in
compliance with applicable ITU T standards. This is fully automatic and
performed in less than 50 msec.
MS-SPRing can support LO traffic arriving at the nodes in the same way it
does HO traffic. LO traffic support on MS-SPRing is unique to BG, as it is a
genuine MSPP.
In MS-SPRing modes, the STM-n signal is divided into working and protection
capacity per MS. In case of a failure in one MS of the ring, the protection
capacity loops back the affected traffic at both ends of the faulty MS. BG
supports the full squelching protocol to prevent traffic misconnections in cases
of failure at isolated nodes. Trails to be dropped at such nodes are muted to
prevent their being delivered to the wrong destination.

426006-2714-013-A04 ECI Telecom Ltd. Proprietary 11-3

BroadGate Product Line Protection BroadGate Product Line Reference
Mechanisms Manual

MS-SPRing is particularly beneficial in ring applications with uniform or

adjacent traffic patterns, as it offers significant capacity advantages compared
to other protection schemes.
The following figure shows a BG in a two-fiber MS-SPRing. In this
configuration, 2-fibers are connected between each site. Each fiber delivers
50% of the active and 50% of the shared protection traffic. For example, in an
STM-16 ring, eight VC-4s are active and eight VC-4s are reserved for shared
protection.
In the event of a fiber cut between sites A and D, traffic is transported through
sites B and C on the black portion of the counterclockwise fiber. The switch in
traffic is triggered by the APS protocol that transmits control signals over the
K1 and K2 bytes in the fiber from site D to site A.

Figure 11-2: Two-fiber protection

Extra traffic capability is also supported, enabling users to use the protecting
VC-4s to carry extra traffic that is dropped in case of a failure in the protected
VC-4s. Thus, the total capacity of the ring is used, provided there are no
network failures. The extra traffic is, of course, not protected.

Manual Mechanisms

Dual-Node Interconnection with MS-SPRing

When the working and protection fiber pairs travel in separate ducts, two rings
can be connected via a dual link over two different nodes. This enables the
network to overcome multiple failures like fiber cuts or node failures, thereby
improving traffic availability in the network.

Integration of LO SNCP and MS-SPRing

BG can simultaneously close MS-SPRing-protected metro-core rings and
SNCP-protected edge-access rings within the same NE. LO traffic can be
transported directly from multiple edge-access rings to the metro-core ring
transparently, without external XCs or mediation equipment. This reduces floor
space and costs, and improves site reliability.

Dual-Route Path Protection

The BroadGate Product Line platforms support highly efficient advanced rings
over meshes that provide inherent protection in the event of a traffic-affecting
circuitry or link failure. In this mode, the protection paradigm is a self-healing
path protection scheme.
Any level VC (VC-4, VC-3, VC-12) trail protection may be selected from any
two STM-n interfaces. Since the BroadGate Product Line platform functions as
a multi-ADM and DXC in mesh environments, any interface, port, and/or card
can be selected as working or protection. This flexibility enables the BroadGate
products to integrate with other network nodes, and provide E2E network path
protection regardless of network topology. This integrated path protection
capability enables operators to smoothly integrate the BroadGate Product Line
platforms into existing networks.

426006-2714-013-A04 ECI Telecom Ltd. Proprietary 11-5

BroadGate Product Line Protection BroadGate Product Line Reference
Mechanisms Manual

The path protection switching operates automatically via the cross-connect

matrix in the MXC20 card in BG-20, the XIO30 card in BG-30, or XIO64 in
BG-64 and does not require operator intervention or path recalculation. The
BG-20, BG-30, and BG-64 can support path protection even when the MXC20,
MCP30, or MCP64 fails or is out. The result is an exceptionally fast switch to
protection lower than 30 msec.

Figure 11-3: Path protection switching in a bidirectional self-healing ring

The dual-route path protection scheme is topology-independent. It can be used

in any complex network topology such as multi-ring or mesh. Protection is
performed at service endpoints. This ensures service protection regardless of
network topology or intermediate equipment. Route diversity protection
ensures seamless protection integration and interoperability of the BG-20,
BG-30, and BG-64 systems with any other SDH equipment.

Manual Mechanisms

Ethernet Service Protection

Ethernet service can be protected at the SDH level and also by the following
protection mechanisms:
 LCAS-based EoS channel protection: When a VCG is used to carry
Ethernet services, its members can be divided into several subgroups, each
using a different physical path. Thanks to LCAS and the Ethernet card’s
powerful differential delay compensation capability, when some paths fail,
invalid members can be removed through LCAS while the remaining
members continue to transmit services. When the invalid members return to
normal, bandwidth can be increased hitlessly.
LCAS-based protection supports service transmission via the operation and
protection channels simultaneously, thus increasing the bandwidth
utilization ratio.
 MSTP-based protection: All BG L2 cards (BG-20B_L2, BG-20B_L2M,
BG-20C, ME_2G_4F, MPS_2G_8F, ESW_2G_8F_E, DMFE_4_L2,
DMFX_4_L2, DMGE_2_L2) support RSTP (IEEE 802.1w) and Multiple
Spanning Tree instances – MSTP (IEEE 802.1s). The MSTP takes
advantage of P2P wiring and provides rapid convergence of the spanning
tree. Reconfiguration of the spanning tree can occur in less than one second
(in contrast to 50 seconds with the default settings in the 802.1D STP),
which is critical for networks carrying delay-sensitive traffic. MSTP, which
uses RSTP for rapid convergence, enables VLANs to be grouped into a
spanning tree instance, with each instance having a spanning tree topology
independent of other spanning tree instances. This architecture provides
multiple forwarding paths for data traffic, enables load balancing, and
reduces the number of spanning tree instances required to support a large
number of VLANs.
 Fast Reroute (FRR): All MPLS cards (including BG-20B_L2M, BG-20C,
ME_2G_4F, MPS_2G_8F, DMFE_4_L2, DMFX_4_L2, DMGE_2_L2)
support FRR protection. FRR is a local restoration network resiliency
mechanism for MPLS tunnel. In MPLS local protection each LSP passing
through a facility is protected by a backup path which originates at the node
immediately upstream to that facility. This node which redirects the traffic
onto the preset backup path, is called the point of local repair (PLR), and
the node where a backup LSP merges with the primary LSP is called Merge
Point (MP). This mechanism provides faster recovery because the decision
of recovery is strictly local. The recovery time can be sub-50 msec.

BroadGate Product Line Protection BroadGate Product Line Reference
Mechanisms Manual

 Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP per G.8032): is an enhanced protection

mechanism for Ethernet networks defined by ITU-T G.8032 standard. It
supports improved resiliency, manageability, and reliability of metro
Ethernet networks, offering switching to protection time in less than 50
msec. The standard has the ability to protect against both link and
equipment faults.
Each node in the ring protection network has two ring ports (East and
West) and a number of local ports. One link in the ring is designated as the
Ring Protection Link (RPL) and used only for redundancy. One node
connected to the RPL is selected as the RPL owner and is responsible to
block traffic on the RPL in normal operation (idle state) and unblock it
when a failure is detected (protection state).
When a failure is detected, the nodes adjacent to the failure block the failed
link and report this failure to the ring, using an R-APS Signal Failure (SF)
message. The message triggers the RPL owner to unblock the RPL, and all
nodes to perform FDB flushing. The ring is now in protection state.
When the failed link recovers, the nodes adjacent to the recovered link
transmit an R-APS No Request (NR) message, indicating they have no
local request. When the RPL owner receives the R-APS message, it starts a
wait to restore (WTR) timer. Once the WTR expires, the RPL owner blocks
the RPL and transmits an R-APS No Request, Root Blocked (NR, RB)
message. The nodes receiving the message perform a selective FDB flush
for the relevant port and unblock their previously blocked port. The ring
returns to normal operation (idle state).

Link Aggregation Support

Ethernet Link Aggregation (LAG) protection is based on standard Ethernet link
aggregation schemes (IEEE 802.3ad). LAG or trunking is a method of setting
multiple parallel physical links between two devices that are grouped together
to form a single logical link.
With LAG, we are able to increase the capacity and availability of the
communications channel between platforms using existing Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 GE interfaces. Two or more Ethernet interface
connections are combined to increase the bandwidth capability and to create
resilient and redundant links.
LAG provides the following benefits:
 Higher link protection
 Higher link capacity
 Links load balancing

11-8 ECI Telecom Ltd. Proprietary 426006-2714-013-A04

BroadGate Product Line Reference BroadGate Product Line Protection
Manual Mechanisms

Higher Link Protection: LAG prevents the failure of any single interface
from leading to a disruption of the communications between the interconnected
platforms. The loss of a link within an aggregation reduces the available
capacity but the connection is maintained and the data flow is not interrupted.
The BG PL supports up to seven logical links. Each single logical link is
composed up to four physical links (Ethernet LAN or EoS WAN ports). When
one (or more) physical link fails, the failed link capacity is removed until that
link recovers. The network continues to function correctly without the failed
link.
LAG is available for both Ethernet (LAN ports) and EoS (WAN ports). The
following figure illustrates the LAG approach. Two variations are displayed,
one for Ethernet ports and one for EoS WAN ports.

Figure 11-4: BG LAG examples

Link members are added and removed through the network management
system.
Higher Link Capacity: The performance is improved because the capacity of
an aggregated link is higher than each individual link alone. Standard LAN
technology provides data rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 10 GE.
LAG can fill the gaps of these available data rates when an intermediate
performance level is more appropriate. If a higher capacity than 1000 Mbps is
needed, the user can group several 1000 Mbps interface adapters together to
form a high speed connection.
Links Load Balancing: LAG also provides load balancing where the
processing and communications activity is distributed across several links in a
trunk so that no single link is overwhelmed. The BG PL supports the fixed
load-sharing algorithm of “MAC DA XOR MAC SA”. It is automatically
configured (the user does not need to configure the option of load-sharing
algorithm).
