What Is Liquid OTN?

Traditional OTN technologies are mainly used on backbone and metro networks to carry services at a rate higher than 1 Gbit/s. After OTN devices are deployed on metro or access networks, the following challenges emerge: inelastic pipes (ODU0 at minimum), small number of connections, and inflexible bandwidth adjustment.

With the optical service unit flexible container (OSUflex), Liquid OTN optimizes the multiplexing and mapping paths, so that the OSUflex can be directly mapped to the higher-order pipes to satisfy different service bandwidth requirements.

  • OSUflex over ODUflex: coexistence and interworking with existing OTN or DWDM networks
  • OSUflex over ODUCn: new Liquid OTN networks

 


With the Liquid OTN technology, an OPUk payload in an existing OTN system is divided into physically isolated communication pipes with a fixed frame length. The OPUk/flex payload area is divided into multiple payload blocks (PBs). The following figure uses OPU4 as an example.

  • When multiple channels of OSUflex signals are mapped and multiplexed into OPUk/flex payloads, a 12-bit tributary port number (TPN) needs to be added based on each channel of OSUflex signals to identify the mapping between each channel of OSUflex signals and tributaries.
  • A TPN must be unique at the server layer to ensure that the receive end can correctly distinguish tributary port numbers. The TPN function is similar to the MSI function of OTN, and is a preferred manner. To be specific, a TPN is added based on the OSUflex frame to exactly form a PB.

Comparison Between MS-OTN and Liquid OTN



Summary

Liquid OTN has the following key capabilities:
  • Ubiquitous all-optical connectivity: Liquid OTN introduces OSUflex containers to support flexible bandwidth definition. Furthermore, network hard slices can achieve a fine granularity of 2 Mbit/s, bringing 500 times more connections.
  • Hitless bandwidth adjustment: Supports hitless bandwidth adjustment from 2 Mbit/s to 100 Gbit/s, ensuring zero service interruption and full use of network resources. e connections.
  • Ultra-low transmission latency: Significantly reduces the network transmission layers, provides differentiated latency levels, and reduces per-site latency by 70% to reach the microsecond level, adapting to different latency-sensitive scenarios.

Ethernet switching - The working mechanism of a layer 3 switch

In the current live network environment, we can always see that it is the core switch like Huawei CE6800 switch that processing the data forwarding. You might be curious about that, isn't the switch forwarding Layer 2 data packets? Why are switches used at the core layer to forward data packets? Can the switch also handle IP packets? In this chapter, we will give you a detailed introduction to the working mechanism of the three-layer exchange.

As mentioned above, switches can be divided into layer 2 switches such as Huawei S1700 S2700 series and layer 3 switches, and Layer 3 switches can also forward IP packets based on the routing table, the same as routers. Is the working mechanism the same as that of routers? Obviously, the answer is no. Before comparing the forwarding process of the two in detail, let's briefly introduce the forwarding process of the three-layer switch, so that everyone can understand the forwarding process of the data packet in the layer 3 switches in more detail. For the forwarding of Layer 2 packets in the same network segment, the processing mechanism of the Layer 3 switch is the same as that of the Layer 2 switch, which is based on the destination MAC address. We will skip that part in this chapter. We are mainly concerned about the layer 3 IP packet forwarding across the network segment.

Brief architecture of the layer 3 switch

Figure 1: Brief architecture of the layer 3 switch

ASIC: Charge in layer 2 and layer 3 forwarding functions, including the MAC address table for layer 3 forwarding and the layer 3 forwarding table for IP forwarding;

CPU: Used for forwarding control. It mainly maintains software entries (including software routing tables, software ARP tables, etc.), and configures the ASIC's hardware layer 3 forwarding table according to the forwarding information of the software entries. Of course, the CPU itself can also complete the software three-layer forwarding.

Brief architecture of the layer 3 switch

Figure 2PC A and PC B communicate across network segments

Assuming that PC A wants to communicate with PC B that is not on the same network segment, we will introduce the entire communication process in detail as follows:

  1. PC A realizes that PC B is not in the same network segment as itself, and it will send an ARP request message to request the MAC address of the gateway, that is, the MAC address of the switch.

  2. After receiving the ARP request, the switch responds with an ARP reply message to PC A. At the same time, it will also record the MAC address and IP address of PC A in the ARP table.

  3. PC A encapsulates the data packet (source IP: PC A, destination IP: PCB, source MAC: PC A, destination MAC: switch) and sends it to the switch.

  4. After the switch receives the modified message, it looks up the source MAC of the message and the VLAN where the port is located to update the MAC address table and then looks up the MAC table according to the destination MAC and VLAN number for forwarding (this is a layer 2 forwarding mechanism). But the switch discovers that the destination MAC is the MAC table of its own Layer 3 interface, and the switch realizes that this packet is either sent to itself or needs to be forwarded at Layer 3. Therefore, the switch searches for the three-layer table entry of the switching chip according to the destination IP. Since notable entry has been created before, the search fails. Then, the switch sends the message to the CPU for processing.

  5. The CPU searches the routing table according to the destination IP of the message, finds the matching item (if there is no match, the message will be discarded), and continues to look up the software ARP table, but the corresponding entry is not found.

  6. The switch sends ARP request packets on all interfaces of the VLAN corresponding to the destination IP, requesting the MAC address of the destination IP.

  7. PC B responds to the ARP reply message after receiving the request. After the switch learns the MAC, it will also record the corresponding data and send the message from PC A to PC B to complete the transfer from PC A to PC B. Communication.

From PC B to PC A, since the forwarding entry has been established on the switch, subsequent messages will not be sent to the CPU, and the table lookup and forwarding process will be completed directly on the forwarding chip.

It can be known from the above process that ASIC plays an extremely important role in the forwarding process of the layer 3 switches. It can realize fast forwarding after establishing the layer 3 forwarding entry after the first communication process, thereby eliminating the need for continuous lookup of the routing table. The mechanism not only speeds up the forwarding process but also saves the occupation of system CPU resources. This is also a huge difference compared to router layer three forwardings.

Back to the question at the beginning of this chapter, why the core device of the network is often the core switch because the destination IP address of the devices in the same network to exchange data with each other is very limited, when the establishment of the layer 3 forwarding table is completed, the core switch Data will be forwarded very efficiently. For data accessing the Internet, routers will have better processing capabilities than Layer 3 switches due to the vastly different destination addresses.

XG (S) – PON | Motivation and Evolution

With the emergence of new applications and services that require more bandwidth, there is a need for the passive network to be able to support these services and deliver the necessary bandwidth. GPON passive networks have become a bottleneck for these services. Given the facts, we will have the rise of the next generation of GPON technology, XG(S)-PON (10G GPON).


Services


What’s XG (S) – PON?


XG (S) – PON is an enhanced next-generation PON technology that evolves from existing GPON technology standards. Some of the main features of this technology:

 

  • Higher bandwidth, capable of providing Internet access speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s. 4 times more than its predecessor GPON technology

  • Longest logical distance ≥ 60 km

  • Line Encryption on direction Downstream/Upstream

  • Split rate of up to 1:256


Differences between GPON, XG-PON and XGS-PON


difference


Evolution from GPON to XG(S)- PON


The wavelength of XG(S)-PON and GPON do not overlap. Therefore, they can share the same ODN network through Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM).


image


If the OLT does not support XG(S)-PON, you will need to add a new OLT that does. This is a disadvantage, as it will have additional cost when purchasing a new OLT, and you will have to discard the GPON OLT when your network is fully XG(S)-PON. A second disadvantage is the cost of purchasing a WDM1r multiplexer, and the space it will take up on your DC. Huawei has a great migration solution using XG(S) – PON Combo


What’s XG (S) – PON Combo?


On the same PON port, we can have two passive technologies, being GPON + XGPON or GPON + XGS-PON. In addition, we have an optical module combo that integrates the GPON optical module, XG(S)-PON optical module, and WDM multiplexer to share ODN resources without adding an external WDM multiplexer.

Evolution Process


1. Add a board XG (S) – PON Combo

2. Migrate optical fiber from GPON port to XG port (S) – PON Combo

3. Add an ONU/ONT XG (S) – PON or change an existing ONU/ONT GPON
