Management Interfaces
An IP-10C system can be configured to use 1 or 2 Ethernet management ports. Interfaces Eth2 and Eth3 are the only interfaces that can be assigned as management ports. Management Interfaces Configured Number Management Interfaces of Management Ports
1 2 0 Eth3 Eth3, Eth2 None
Management interfaces are connected to the switch (bridge) and are configured to learning mode. Management frames should always be assigned maximum priority in order to ensure that network management remains available in a loaded network. In order to achieve this, the IP-10C automatically assigns to all management frames (frames incoming from the management interfaces) a p-bit value of 7, which is the highest priority by default. Management interfaces can be configured to have one of the following capacities: 64kbps, 128kbps, 256kbps, 512kbps, 1024kbps, 2048kbps (default). Capacity is limited by the port ingress rate limit.

Ethernet Header Compression

IP-10C offers several Ethernet header compression methods, which enable operators to significantly improve Ethernet throughout over the radio link without affecting user traffic: No Header Compression (Layer 1 Header Suppression) Removes the IFG and Preamble fields. This mechanism operates automatically even if no header compression is selected by the user. MAC Header Compression (Legacy Mode) Operates at Layer 2, compressing the MAC SA and the MAC DA. The user can enable or disable MAC header compression. Multi-Layer Header Compression (Enhanced Compression) Users can configure the depth of Enhanced Compression, up to Layer 4. Enhanced Compression requires software version C6.9. Enhanced Compression also requires a license. Header Compression

Legacy MAC header compression improves effective throughput over the radio link by up to 45% or more without affecting user traffic. Legacy MAC header compression compresses the MAC SA and the MAC DA fields (12 bytes). Layer 1 header suppression is also active, replacing the IFG and Preamble fields (20 bytes) with a GFP header. Legacy MAC header compression does not require a license, and can be enabled and disabled by the user. By default, legacy MAC header compression is disabled.

Multi-Layer (Enhanced) Header Compression
This feature requires:

Enhanced Header Compression license
Related topics:
Licensing Multi-Layer (Enhanced) header compression identifies traffic flows and replaces the header fields with a "flow ID". This is done using a sophisticated algorithm that learns unique flows by looking for repeating frame headers in the traffic stream over the radio link and compressing them. The principle underlying this feature is that packet headers in todays networks use a long protocol stack that contains a significant amount of redundant information. In Enhanced Compression mode, the user can determine the depth to which the compression mechanism operates, from Layer 2 to Layer 4. Operators must balance the depth of compression against the number of flows in order to ensure maximum efficiency. Up to 256 concurrent flows are supported. Up to 68 bytes of the L2-4 header can be compressed. In addition Layer 1 header suppression is also performed, replacing the IFG and Preamble fields (20 bytes) with a GFP header. Multi layer header compression can be used to compress the following types of header stacks: Ethernet MAC untagged IPv4 TCP UDP IPv6 TCP UDP MPLS Ethernet MAC + VLAN IPv4 TCP UDP IPv6 TCP UDP MPLS Ethernet MAC with QinQ IPv4 TCP UDP IPv6 TCP

A configuration mismatch may occur if the remote IP-10C unit is configured to Legacy compression mode. In this scenario, both sides of the link will use Legacy compression mode and an alarm will be raised to indicate that there is a configuration mismatch.

Enhanced Header Compression Counters In order to help operators optimize Multi-Layer (Enhanced) header compression, IP-10C provides counters when Enhanced Compression is enabled. These counters include real-time information, such as the number of currently active flows and the number of flows by specific flow type. This information can be used by operators to monitor network usage and capacity, and optimize the Multi-Layer compression settings. By monitoring the effectiveness of the compression settings, the operator can adjust these settings to ensure that the network achieves the highest possible effective throughput.

Benefits of IP-10Cs Top-of-the-Line Low Latency IP-10Cs ability to meet the stringent latency requirements for LTE systems provides the key to expanded broadband wireless services: Longer radio chains Larger radio rings Shorter recovery times More capacity Easing of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) limitations
5.1.3.2
Frame Cut-Through Support Frames assigned to high priority queues can pre-empt frames already in transmission over the radio from other queues. Transmission of the preempted frames is resumed after the cut-through with no capacity loss or retransmission required. This feature provides services that are sensitive to delay and delay variation, such as VoIP and Pseudowires, with true transparency to lower priority services. Notes: Frame Cut-Through is not supported in the current software release, but is planned for future release. Contact your Ceragon representative for up-to-date information on availability.

Adaptive Coding Modulation (ACM) Related topics:

ACM with Adaptive Transmit Power Quality of Service (Traffic Manager)
FibeAir IP-10C employs full-range dynamic ACM. IP-10Cs ACM mechanism copes with 90 dB per second fading in order to ensure high transmission quality. IP-10Cs ACM mechanism is designed to work with IP-10Cs QoS mechanism to ensure that high priority voice and data packets are never dropped, thus maintaining even the most stringent service level agreements (SLAs). The hitless and errorless functionality of IP-10Cs ACM has another major advantage in that it ensures that TCP/IP sessions do not time-out. Without ACM, even interruptions as short as 50 milliseconds can lead to timeout of TCP/IP sessions, which are followed by a drastic throughout decrease while these sessions recover. 5.2.1.1 Eight Working Points IP-10C implements ACM with eight available working points, as follows: ACM Working Points (Profiles) Working Point (Profile)

Product Description
5.2.1.2
Hitless and Errorless Step-by Step Adjustments ACM works as follows. Assuming a system configured for 128 QAM with ~170 Mbps capacity over a 28 MHz channel, when the receive signal Bit Error Ratio (BER) level reaches a predetermined threshold, the system preemptively switches to 64 QAM and the throughput is stepped down to ~140 Mbps. This is an errorless, virtually instantaneous switch. The system continues to operate at 64 QAM until the fading condition either intensifies or disappears. If the fade intensifies, another switch takes the system down to 32 QAM. If, on the other hand, the weather condition improves, the modulation is switched back to the next higher step (e.g., 128 QAM) and so on, step by step .The switching continues automatically and as quickly as needed, and can reach all the way down to QPSK during extreme conditions. Adaptive Coding and Modulation
5.2.1.3
ACM Radio Scripts An ACM radio script is constructed of a set of profiles. Each profile is defined by a modulation order (QAM) and coding rate, and defines the profiles capacity (bps). When an ACM script is activated, the system automatically chooses which profile to use according to the channel fading conditions. The ACM TX profile can be different from the ACM RX profile. The ACM TX profile is determined by remote RX MSE performance. The RX end is the one that initiates an ACM profile upgrade or downgrade. When MSE improves above a predefined threshold, RX generates a request to the remote TX to upgrade its profile. If MSE degrades below a predefined threshold, RX generates a request to the remote TX to downgrade its profile. ACM profiles are decreased or increased in an errorless operation, without affecting Ethernet traffic. ACM scripts can be activated in one of two modes: Fixed Mode. In this mode, the user can select the specific profile from all available profiles in the script. The selected profile is the only profile that will be valid, and the ACM engine will be forced to be OFF. This mode can be chosen without an ACM license.
Page 43 of 131
FibeAir IP-10C
Product Description
Adaptive Mode. In this mode, the ACM engine is running, which means that the radio adapts its profile according to the channel fading conditions. Adaptive mode requires an ACM license.
5.2.1.4
Configurable Maximum and Minimum ACM Profile The user can define both a maximum and a minimum profile. For example, if the user selects a maximum profile of 5, the system will not climb above the profile 5, even if channel fading conditions allow it. If the user selects a minimum profile of 3 (32 QAM), the system will not climb below 32 QAM. If the channels SNR degrades below the 32 QAM threshold, the radio will lose carrier synchronization, and will report loss of frame.
5.2.1.5
ACM Benefits The advantages of IP-10Cs dynamic ACM include: Maximized spectrum usage Increased capacity over a given bandwidth Eight modulation/coding work points (~3 db system gain for each point change) Hitless and errorless modulation/coding changes, based on signal quality Adaptive Radio Tx Power per modulation for maximal system gain per working point An integrated QoS mechanism that enables intelligent congestion management to ensure that high priority traffic is not affected during link fading
5.2.1.6
ACM and Built-In QoS IP-10Cs ACM mechanism is designed to work with IP-10Cs QoS mechanism to ensure that high priority voice and data packets are never dropped, thus maintaining even the most stringent SLAs. Since QoS provides priority support for different classes of service, according to a wide range of criteria, you can configure IP-10C to discard only low priority packets as conditions deteriorate. If you want to rely on an external switchs QoS, ACM can work with them via the flow control mechanism supported in the radio.

ACM with Adaptive Transmit Power This feature requires:

ACM script ACM enabled prior to enabling ACM with Adaptive Transmit Power
When planning ACM-based radio links, the radio planner attempts to apply the lowest transmit power that will perform satisfactorily at the highest level of modulation. During fade conditions requiring a modulation drop, most radio systems cannot increase transmit power to compensate for the signal degradation, resulting in a deeper reduction in capacity. IP-10C is capable of adjusting power on the fly, and optimizing the available capacity at every modulation point, as illustrated in the figure below. This figure shows how operators that want to use ACM to benefit from high levels of modulation (e.g., 256 QAM) must settle for low system gain, in this case, 18 dB, for all the other modulations as well. With FibeAir IP-10C, operators can automatically adjust power levels, achieving the extra 4 dB system gain that is required to maintain optimal throughput levels under all conditions. The following figure contrasts the transmit output power achieved by using ACM with Adaptive Power to the transmit output power at a fixed power level, over an 18-23 GHz link. IP-10C ACM with Adaptive Power Contrasted to Other ACM Implementations
For this feature to be used effectively, it is essential for the operator not to breach any regulator-imposed EIRP limitations. For example, if used, the operator must license the system for the maximum possible EIRP.
Page 45 of 131
FibeAir IP-10C
Product Description
The Adaptive Transmit Power feature, together with ACM, can work in one out of two scenarios: Increase capacity (increase throughput of existing link) With the option to use Adaptive TX Power. Increase availability (new link) Adaptive TX Power is not applicable. The first scenario is for operators that have existing links in a low class (modulation order), and want to use ACM in order to carry additional Ethernet traffic without occupying more spectrum bandwidth. The second scenario is for operators who plan a new link for a specific availability and capacity, but want to take advantage of the ACM capability to achieve lower capacity even in higher fades. In the first scenario the operator must plan the link according to a low class channel mask. When radio path conditions allow, the link will increase the modulation. This modulation increase may require lowering the output power (see figure below), in order to decrease the non-linearity of the transmitter for the higher constellations and in order for the transmitted spectrum to stay within the licensed low class channel mask. The following figure demonstrates the differences between a low class mask (e.g., class 2) and a high class mask (e.g., class 5). Channel Mask Comparison

ATPC Override Timer

ATPC is a closed-loop mechanism by which each radio changes the transmitted signal power according to the indication received across the link, in order to achieve a desired RSL on the other side of the link. Without ATPC, if loss of frame occurs the system automatically increases its transmit power to the configured maximum. This may cause a higher level of interference with other systems until the failure is corrected. In order to minimize this interference, some regulators require a timer mechanism which will be manually overridden when the failure is fixed. The underlying principle is that the system should start a timer from the moment maximum power has been reached. If the timer expires, ATPC is overridden and the system transmits at a pre-determined power level until the user manually re-establishes ATPC and the system works normally again. The user can configure the following parameters: Override timeout (0 to disable the feature): The amount of time the timer counts from the moment the system transmits at the maximum configured power. Override transmission power: The power that will be transmitted if ATPC is overridden because of timeout. The user can also display the current countdown value. When the system enters into the override state, ATPC is automatically disabled and the system transmits at the pre-determined override power. An alarm is raised in this situation. The only way to go back to normal operation is to manually cancel the override. When doing so, users should be sure that the problem has been corrected; otherwise, ATPC may be overridden again.

Using Smart Pipe mode, only a single Ethernet interface is enabled for user traffic and IP-10C acts as a point-to-point Ethernet microwave radio. In Smart Pipe mode, the GbE combo port is used for Ethernet traffic. All traffic entering the IP-10C is sent directly to the radio, and all traffic from the radio is sent directly to the Ethernet interface. In Smart Pipe mode, the non-combo GbE ports can either be configured as management interfaces or they are shut down. 3

Automatic State Propagation ("GigE Tx mute override") enables propagation of radio failures back to the line, to improve the recovery performance of resiliency protocols (such as xSTP). The feature enables the user to configure which criteria will force the GbE port (or ports in case of a remote fault) to be muted or shutdown, in order to allow the network to find alternative paths.

The unit will only become manageable again when the port is un-muted or enabled.

Standard QoS
QoS enables users to configure classification and scheduling to ensure that packets are forwarded and discarded according to their priority. Since it is common to set QoS and rate limiting settings identically in several ports, the QoS configuration can be copied from one port to another. This saves considerable time and prevents configuration mistakes. The following diagram illustrates the QoS flow:

5.4.3.1
Standard QoS Classifier Using IP-10Cs standard QoS functionality, the system examines the incoming traffic and assigns the desired priority according to the marking of the packets (based on the user port/L2/L3 marking in the packet). In case of congestion in the ingress port, low priority packets are discarded first. The standard QoS classifier is made up of four classification criteria hierarchies: MAC DA (Destination Address) Overwrite Classification and marking is performed for incoming frames carrying a MAC DA that appears in the Static MAC table, according to the following options: Disable No MAC DA classification or VLAN P-Bit overwrite (marking). Queue Decision Only classification to queue. No marking. VLAN P-Bit Overwrite Only VLAN P-Bits overwrite (marking). Classification according to a lower criterion. Queue Decision and VLAN P-Bit Overwrite Both classification and VLAN P-Bits overwrite. VLAN ID Overwrite If the first criteria is not fulfilled (either because it is disabled, or because the ingress frame does not carry any MAC DA that appears in the S MAC table), classification and/or marking (VLAN P-Bit overwrite, assuming the frame egress is tagged) is decided according to the VLAN ID to Queue table according to the following options: Disable No VLAN ID classification or VLAN P-Bit overwrite (marking). Queue Decision Only classification to queue. No marking. VLAN P-Bit Overwrite Only VLAN P-Bit overwrite (marking). Classification is according to the lower criteria (P-Bits or port priority). In this case, P-Bits are assigned as follows (if egress frame is tagged): Frames classified to 1st queue are given p-bits=0 Frames classified to 2nd queue are given p-bits=2 Frames classified to 3rd queue are given p-bits=4 Frames classified to 4th queue are given p-bits=6

Product Description
Queue Decision and VLAN P-Bit Overwrite Both classification and VLAN P-Bit overwrite. Initial Classification is according to the following configuration: VLAN P-Bit Classification is according to VLAN P-Bit. And the queue is assigned according to the VLAN P-Bit to Queue table. IP TOS Classification is according to IP TOS (IP precedence, or IP diffserv). The queue is assigned according to the IP P-Bit to Queue table. VLAN P-Bit over IP TOS Classification according to VLAN P-Bit, if the ingress frame carries a VLAN. For untagged packets with an IP header, classification is according to IP TOS. IP TOS over VLAN P-Bit Classification is according to IP TOS, if the ingress frame has an IP header. If the ingress frame without an IP header carries a VLAN, classification is according to VLAN P-Bit. Port (Default) If any of the above criteria are not fulfilled, the default classification is assigned to the ingress frame according to the port priority. Default Classification. Default priority for frames incoming at the port.
5.4.3.2
Standard QoS Policers IP-10Cs standard QoS provides up to five policers to perform ingress rate limiting. The policers are based on a color blind leaky bucket scheme, and can be applied per port or CoS. For each policer, users can define up to five class maps. Each class map includes the following parameters: Committed Information Rate (CIR) IP-10C supports CIR granularity of 64kbps up to 1 Mbps of CIR, 1 Mbps from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps of CIR. Packets within the CIR defined for the service are marked Green and passed through the QoS module. Committed Burst Size (CBS) IP-10C supports CBS up to a maximum of 128 kbytes. The default value is 12 kbytes. Packets within the CBS defined for the service are marked Green and passed through the QoS module. Committed Information Rate (CIR) IP-10C supports the following granularity for CIR: 64Kbps <= CIR <= 960Kbps, in steps of 64Kbps. 1000Kbps <= CIR <= 100,000Kbps in steps of 1000Kbps. 100,000Kbps < CIR <= 1,000,000Kbps in steps of 10,000Kbps. Committed Burst Size (CBS) IP-10C supports the following granularity for CBS: For 64Kbps <= CIR <= 960Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 273,404 Bytes. For 1000Kbps <= CIR <= 100,000Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 132,585 Bytes. For 100,000Kbps < CIR <= 1,000,000Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 4,192,668 Bytes.

Queue Management, Scheduling, and Shaping IP-10Cs standard QoS has four priority queues. The queue controller distributes frames to the queues according to the classifier. The fourth queue is the highest priority queue, and the first queue is the lowest priority queue. The scheduler determines how frames are output from the queues. IP-10Cs standard QoS supports the following scheduling schemes: Strict Priority for all queues. Strict Priority for the fourth queue, and Weighted Round Robin (WRR) for the remaining queues. Strict Priority for the fourth and third queues, and WRR for second and first queues. WRR for all queues. In a WRR scheduling scheme, a weight is assigned to each queue, so that frames egress from the queues according to their assigned weight, in order to avoid starvation of lower priority queues. In addition, frames egress in a mixed manner, in order to avoid bursts of frames from the same queue. Each queues weight can be configured. A queue's weight is used by the scheduler when the specific queue is part of a WRR scheduling scheme. Queue-Weight can be configured in the range of 1-32. The default queue weights are 8,4,2,1. The shaper determines the scheduler rate (egress rate limit). The shaper can be enabled and disabled by the user. By default, the shaper is disabled. The shaper rate is set with the following granularity: For 64Kbps <= Rate <= 960Kbps, in steps of 64Kbps. For 1000Kbps <= Rate <= 100,000Kbps in steps of 1000Kbps. For 100,000Kbps < Rate <= 1,000,000Kbps in steps of 10,000Kbps.

Enhanced QoS license
Related topics:
Synchronization Using Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) Optimized Transport Licensing
Enhanced QoS provides an enhanced and expanded feature set. The tools provided by enhanced QoS apply to egress traffic on the radio port, which is where bottlenecks generally occur. Enhanced QoS can be enabled and disabled by the user. Enhanced QoS capabilities include: Enhanced classification criteria Eight priority queues with configurable buffer length An enhanced scheduler based on Strict Priority, Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ), or a hybrid approach that combines Strict Priority and WFQ Shaper per priority queue WRED support, along with Tail-Drop, for congestion management Configurable P-bit and CFI/DEI re-marker A PTP Optimized Transport dedicated channel for time synchronization protocols Enhanced counters
These and other IP-10C enhanced QoS features enable operators to provide differentiated services with strict SLA while maximizing network resource utilization. Enhanced QoS requires a license, and can be enabled and disabled by the user. The main benefits of enhanced QoS are: Improved available link capacity utilization: Enhanced and configurable queue buffer size (4 Mb total) WRED for best utilization of the link when TCP/IP sessions are transported, providing up to 25% more capacity. Enhanced service differentiation: 8 CoS queues (as opposed to 4 queues in standard QoS) Additional classification criteria MPLS EXP bits and UDP ports Shaping per CoS queue Sync. Optimized transport - best performance for 1588 packets Monitoring, Assurance and Diagnostics capabilities: Per queue counters Transmitted and dropped traffic

Product Description
The following figure illustrates the basic building blocks and traffic flow of enhanced QoS. IP-10C Enhanced QoS
The initial step in the enhanced QoS traffic flow is the classifier, which provides granular service classification based on a number of user-defined criteria. The classifier marks the Service ID, CoS, and color of the frames. If a frames VLAN ID matches a Service ID that is mapped to a policer, the frame is sent to the policer. Untagged frames or frames whose VLAN ID does not match a defined Service ID are sent directly to a queue, based on the frames CoS and color. The next step is queue management. Queue management determines which packets enter which of the eight available queues. Queue management also includes congestion management, which can be implemented by Tail-Drop or WRED. Frames are sent out of the queues according to scheduling and shaping, IP10Cs enhanced QoS module provides a unique hierarchical scheduling model that includes four priorities, with WFQ within each priority and shaping per queue. This model enables operators to define flexible and highly granular QoS schemes for any mix of services. Finally, the enhanced QoS module re-marks the P-bits and CFI/DEI bits of the most outer VLAN according to the CoS and color decision in the classifier. This step is also known as the modifier.

Product Description
5.4.4.1
Enhanced QoS Classifier The classifier is a basic element of each QoS mechanism. Each frame is assigned a Class of Service (CoS) and color, based on MEF 10.2 recommendations. The user can define several criteria by which frames are classified. Classifier Traffic Flow
Each frame is assigned a CoS and Color
CoS is a 3-bit value from 0-7 that is used for classification to priority queues. Color is a 1-bit value (Green or Yellow) used for policing. Green represents CIR, and Yellow represents EIR. Classification to CoS and Color can be based on the following criteria First hierarchy Based on destination MAC address or source/destination UDP ports. The first classification hierarchy is used to identify and give priority to network protocols. Layer2 protocols such as xSTP and Slow protocols can be classified based on their pre-defined destination MAC address. Higher layer protocols such as NTP can be identified based on UDP ports. Second hierarchy Based on VLAN ID. The second hierarchy is used to classify frames based on network services. Each service is assigned to a different VLAN. Frames can be also prioritized based on their in-band management VLAN ID. To prevent loss of management to the remote sites, classification by In-Band management must be configured before activating the enhanced QoS feature. Especially at the first activation after upgrade, the In-Band management VLAN ID should be assigned CoS 7 and Green color.
Note:
Third hierarchy Based on Priority bits. Options are VLAN 802.1p p-bits, IP DSCP/TOS, and/or MPLS experimental bits.
Classification is performed in the order of cardinality listed above. The classifier checks the first hierarchy, the second hierarchy, and the third hierarchy, until a match is found.

FibeAir IP-10C
Product Description
Each frame is assigned a Service ID
Classification to Services is based on VLAN ID. A Service ID is used for policing and for classification to CoS. Each policer is monitored by statistics counters.
Each CoS is mapped to one of the 8 available priority queues
All the classification criteria are divided into three hierarchies according to their cardinality, from the most specific to the most general.
Each queue is assigned a priority
Priorities vary from the highest (fourth) to the lowest (first). The scheduling mechanism treats these priorities as strict. WFQ scheduling is performed between queues of the same priority. For detailed information about scheduling, refer to Scheduling and Shaping on page 64. 5.4.4.2 Queue Management Queue management is the process by which packets are assigned to priority queues. Queue management also includes congestion management. IP-10C provides the tail-drop method of congestion management, and enhanced QoS also offers Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED). Enhanced QoS supports eight queues with configurable buffer size. The user can specify the buffer size of each queue independently. The total amount of memory dedicated to these queue buffers is 4Mb, and the size of each queue can be set to 0.5, 1, 2, or 4Mb. The default buffer size is 0.5Mb for each queue. The following considerations should be taken into account in determining the proper buffer size: Latency considerations If low latency is required (users would rather drop frames in the queue than increase latency) small buffer sizes are preferable. Note: The actual, effective buffer size of the queue can be less than 0.5Mb based on the configuration of the WRED tail drop curve.
Throughput immunity to fast bursts When traffic is characterized by fast bursts, it is recommended to increase the buffer sizes of the priority queues to prevent packet loss. Of course, this comes at the cost of a possible increase in latency.
User can configure burst size as a tradeoff between latency and immunity to bursts, according the application requirements. One of the key features of IP-10Cs enhanced QoS is the use of WRED to manage congestion scenarios. WRED provides several advantages over the standard tail-drop congestion management method. WRED enables differentiation between higher and lower priority traffic based on CoS. Moreover, WRED can increase capacity utilization by eliminating the phenomenon of global synchronization. Global synchronization occurs when TCP flows sharing bottleneck conditions receive loss indications at around the same time. This can result in periods during which link bandwidth utilization drops significantly as a consequence of a simultaneous falling to a slow start

Product Description
of all the TCP flows. The following figure demonstrates the behavior of two TCP flows over time without WRED. Synchronized Packet Loss
WRED eliminates the occurrence of traffic congestion peaks by restraining the transmission rate of the TCP flows. Each queue occupancy level is monitored by the WRED mechanism and randomly selected frames are dropped before the queue becomes overcrowded. Each TCP flow recognizes a frame loss and restrains its transmission rate (basically by reducing the window size). Since the frames are dropped randomly, statistically each time another flow has to restrain its transmission rate as a result of frame loss (before the real congestion occurs). In this way, the overall aggregated load on the radio link remains stable while the transmission rate of each individual flow continues to fluctuate similarly. The following figure demonstrates the transmission rate of two TCP flows and the aggregated load over time when WRED is enabled. Random Packet Loss with Increased Capacity Utilization Using WRED
Each one of the eight priority queues can be given a different weight. For each queue, the user defines the WRED profile curve. This curve describes the probability of randomly dropping frames as a function of queue occupancy. Basically, as the queue occupancy grows, the probability of dropping each incoming frame increases as well. As a consequence, statistically more TCP flows will be restrained before traffic congestion occurs.
Page 63 of 131
FibeAir IP-10C
Product Description
The WRED profile curve can be adjusted for each one of the priority queues. Yellow and Green frames can also be assigned different weights. Usually, Green frames (committed rate) are preferred over Yellow frames (excessive rate), as shown in the curve below. WRED Profile Curve
Note:
WRED can also be set to a tail drop curve. A tail drop curve is useful for reducing the effective queue size, such as when low latency must be guaranteed. In order to set the tail drop curve to its maximum level, the drop percentage must be set to zero.
5.4.4.3
Scheduling and Shaping Scheduling and shaping determine how traffic is sent on to the radio from the queues. Scheduling determines the priority among the queues, and shaping determines the traffic profile for each queue. IP-10Cs enhanced QoS module provides a unique hierarchical scheduling model that includes four priorities, with Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) within each priority, and shaping per port and per queue. This model enables operators to define flexible and highly granular QoS schemes for any mix of services. Shaping The egress shaper is used to shape the traffic profile sent to the radio. In enhanced QoS mode, there is an egress shaper for each priority queue. The user can configure CIR, CBS, and line compensation. Note: The user can configure the shaper to count in L2 by setting line compensation to zero. The user can also punish short frame senders for the overhead they cause in the network by increasing the line compensation to a value above 20 bytes.

Product Description
Scheduling IP-10Cs enhanced QoS mechanism provides Strict Priority and Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ) for scheduling. Users can configure a combination of both methods to achieve the optimal results for their unique network requirements. Each priority queue has a configurable strict priority from 1 to 4 (4=High;1=Low). WFQ weights are used to partition bandwidth between queues of the same priority. Queue Priority Configuration Example
For each queue, the user configures the following parameters: Priority (1 to 4) The priority value is strictly applied. This means the queue with higher priority will egress before a queue with lower priority, regardless of WFQ weights. WFQ weight (1 to 15) Defines the ratio between the bandwidth given to queues of the same priority. For example if queue 6 and queue 7 are assigned WFQ weights of 4 and 8, respectively (using the notations of the above figure), then under congestion conditions queue 7 will be allowed to transmit twice as much bandwidth as queue 6. Note: In order to be able to egress frames, each queue must also have enough credits in its shaper.

Product Description
Scheduling Examples This section provides several use cases in which Strict Priority and WFQ are combined to produce a desired scheduling configuration. These are simply two examples of the many ways in which IP-10Cs flexible scheduling mechanism can be configured to achieve a combination of Strict Priority scheduling for the highest priority traffic flows and weighted scheduling for other traffic flows that may be less delay sensitive. Example 1 shows a hybrid setup in which the three highest-priority queues are served according to Strict Priority, and the remaining queues are served according to WFQ. In this example, higher-priority queues are served first. Only after the three highest-priority queues are empty is traffic from the remaining five queues served, according to WFQ and their respective weight. Example 1 Hybrid Scheduling Queue

The CFI/DEI (color) field is modified according to the classifier and policer decision. The color is first determined by a classifier and may be later overwritten by a policer. Green color is represented by a CFI/DEI value of 0, and Yellow color is represented by a CFI/DEI value of 1.

Synchronization Overview
Synchronization is an essential part of any mobile backhaul solution and is sometimes required by other applications as well. Two unique synchronization issues must be addressed for mobile networks: Frequency Lock: Applicable to GSM and UMTS-FDD networks. Limits channel interference between carrier frequency bands. Typical performance target: frequency accuracy of < 50 ppb. Sync is the traditional technique used, with traceability to a PRS master clock carried over PDH/SDH networks, or using GPS. Phase Lock with Latency Correction: Applicable to CDMA, CDMA-2000, UMTS-TDD, and WiMAX networks. Limits coding time division overlap. Typical performance target: frequency accuracy of < 20 - 50 ppb, phase difference of < 1-3 ms. GPS is the traditional technique used.
5.5.1.1
Precision Timing-Protocol (PTP) PTP synchronization refers to the distribution of frequency, phase, and absolute time information across an asynchronous packet switched network. PTP can use a variety of protocols to achieve timing distribution, including: IEEE-1588 NTP RTP Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) Synchronization

Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) SyncE is standardized in ITU-T G.8261 and refers to a method whereby the clock is delivered on the physical layer. The method is based on SDH/TDM timing, with similar performance, and does not change the basic Ethernet standards. The SyncE technique supports synchronized Ethernet outputs as the timing source to an all-IP BTS/NodeB. This method offers the same synchronization quality provided over E1 interfaces to legacy BTS/NodeB. Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE)

Related topics:
Enhanced QoS IP-10C supports the PTP synchronization protocol (IEEE-1588). IP-10Cs PTP Optimized Transport guarantees ultra-low PDV (<0.035 ms), and provides unique support for ACM and narrow channels. Frame delay variation of <0.035 ms per hop for PTP control frames is supported, even when ACM is enabled, and even when operating with narrow radio channels. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) optimized transport feature is essential for timing synchronization protocols such as IEEE 1588. The PTP optimized transport channel is a Constant Bit Rate Channel that is dedicated to the Precision Time protocol with a constant latency that is unaffected by ACM profile changes and by congestion conditions that may occur on the payload traffic path. Ceragon's unique PTP Optimized Transport mechanism ensures that PTP control frames (IEEE-1588, NTP, etc.) are transported with maximum reliability and minimum delay variation, to provide the best possible timing accuracy (frequency and phase) meeting the stringent requirement of emerging 4G technologies. PTP control frames are identified using the advanced integrated QoS classifier. Upon enabling this feature, a special low PDV channel is created. This channel has 2 Mb bandwidth and carries all the frames mapped to the eighth Enhanced QoS priority queue. Once enabling the feature, the user must make sure to classify all PTP frames to the eighth queue. In this mode, all frames from the eight queue will bypass the shaper and scheduler and will be sent directly to the dedicated low PDV channel.

In-Band Management
FibeAir IP-10C can optionally be managed In-Band, via its radio and Ethernet interfaces. This method of management eliminates the need for a dedicated interface and network. In-band management uses a dedicated management VLAN, which is user-configurable. With In-Band management, the remote IP-10C is managed by specific frames that are sent as part of the traffic. These frames are identified as management frames by a special VLAN ID configured by the user. This VLAN ID must be used only for management. It is not possible to configure more than a single VLAN ID for management. Note: It is strongly recommended to classify the management VLAN ID to the highest queue, in order to ensure the ability to manage remote units even under congestion scenarios.
The local unit is the gateway for In-Band management. The remote unit is managed via its traffic ports (the radio port, for example), so that no management ports are needed.
6.5.1
In-Band Management Isolation

This feature is designed for operators that provide Ethernet leased lines to third party users. The third party user connects its equipment to the Ethernet interface of the IP-10C, while all the other network interfaces, particularly the radios, are managed by the carrier of carriers user. In that case, management frames that are sent throughout the network to manage the carrier of carrier equipment must not egress the line interfaces that are used by the third party customer, since these frames will, in effect, spam the third party user network. The following figure describes the management blocking scenario. In-Band Management Isolation

System Security Features

To guarantee proper performance and availability of a network as well as the data integrity of the traffic, it is imperative to protect it from all potential threats, both internal (misuse by operators and administrators) and external (attacks originating outside the network). System security is based on making attacks difficult (in the sense that the effort required to carry them out is not worth the possible gain) by putting technical and operational barriers in every layer along the way, from the access outside the network, through the authentication process, up to every data link in the network.

Ceragons Layered Security Concept

In most cases, no single layer protection provides a complete solution to threats. The layered security concept is presented in the following figure. Each layer presents the security features and the threats addressed by it. Unless stated otherwise, requirements refer to both network elements and the NMS. Security Solution Architecture Concept

Defenses in Management Communication Channels

Since network equipment can be managed from any location, it is necessary to protect the communication channels contents end to end. These defenses are based on existing and proven cryptographic techniques and libraries, thus providing standard secure means to manage the network, with minimal impact on usability. They provide defense at any point (including public networks and radio aggregation networks) of communications. While these features are implemented in Ceragon equipment, it is the responsibility of the operator to have the proper capabilities in any external devices used to manage the network. In addition, inside Ceragon networking equipment it is possible to control physical channels used for management. This can greatly help deal with all sorts of DoS attacks. Operators can use secure channels instead or in addition to the existing management channels: SNMPv3 for all SNMP-based protocols for both NEs and NMS HTTPS for access to the NEs web server SSH-2 for all CLI access SFTP for all software and configuration download between NMS and NEs All protocols run with secure settings using strong encryption techniques. Unencrypted modes are not allowed, and algorithms used must meet modern and client standards. Users are allowed to disable all insecure channels. In the network elements, the bandwidth of physical channels transporting management communications is limited to the appropriate magnitude, in particular, channels carrying management frames to the CPU. Attack types addressed Tempering with management flows Management traffic analysis Unauthorized software installation Attacks on protocols (by providing secrecy and integrity to messages) Traffic interfaces eavesdropping (by making it harder to change configuration) DoS through flooding

Defenses in User and System Authentication Procedures

User Identification IP-10C supports the following user identification features: Configurable inactivity time-out for closing management channels Password strength is enforced; passwords must comply with the following rules: Be at least 8 characters long Include both numbers and letters (or spaces, symbols, etc.) Include both uppercase and lowercase letters When calculating the number of character classes, upper-case letters used as the first character and digits used as the last character of a password are not counted A password cannot be repeated within the past 5 password changes Password aging: users can be prompted do change passwords after a configurable amount of time Users may be suspended after a configurable number of unsuccessful login attempts Users can be configured to expire at a certain date Mandatory change of password at first time login can be enabled and disabled upon user configuration. It is enabled by default.
6.7.3.2
Remote Authentication Certificate-based strong standard encryption techniques are used for remote authentication. Users may choose to use this feature or not for all secure communication channels. Since different operators may have different certificate-based authentication policies (for example, issuing its own certificates vs. using an external CA or allowing the NMS system to be a CA), NEs and NMS software provide the tools required for operators to enforce their policy and create certificates according to their established processes. Server authentication capabilities are provided.
6.7.3.3
Authorization Users are assigned to user groups. Each group has separate and well-defined authorization to access resources. Security configuration can only be performed by the group with the highest permission level. In the NMS, it is possible to customize groups and group permissions.
6.7.3.4
Centralized Management RADIUS protocol is supported in the NMS (RADIUS client). RADIUS server is the responsibility of the operator. The use of RADIUS is optional.

Secure Communication Channels

IP-10C supports a variety of standard encryption protocols and algorithms, as described in the following sections.
6.7.4.1
SSH (Secured Shell) SHHv1 and SSHv2 are supported. SSH protocol can be used as a secured alternative to Telnet. SSH protocol will always be operational. Admin users can choose whether to disable Telnet protocol, which is enabled by default. Server authentication is based on IP-10Cs public key. Key exchange algorithm is RSA. Supported Encryptions: aes128-cbc, 3des-cbc, blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, arcfour128, arcfour256, arcfour, aes192-cbc, aes256-cbc, aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr. MAC (Message Authentication Code): SHA-1-96 (MAC length = 96 bits, key length = 160 bit). Supported MAC: hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, hmacripemd160, hmac-sha1-96, hmac-md5-96' The server authenticates the user based on user name and password. The number of failed authentication attempts is not limited. The server timeout for authentication is 10 minutes. This value cannot be changed.
6.7.4.2
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) Administrators can configure secure access via HTTPS protocol.

6.7.4.3
SFTP (Secure FTP) SFTP can be used for the following operations: Configuration upload and download, Uploading unit information Uploading a public key Downloading certificate files Downloading software
Users with admin privileges can enforce secure FTP by disabling standard FTP. 6.7.4.4 Creation of Certificate Signing Request (CSR) File In order to create a digital certificate for the NE, a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file should be created by the NE. The CSR contains information that will be included in the NE's certificate such as the organization name, common name (domain name), locality, and country. It also contains the public key that will be included in the certificate. Certificate authority (CA) will use the CSR to create the desired certificate for the NE. While creating the CSR file, the user will be asked to input the following parameters that should be known to the operator who applies the command: Common name The identify name of the element in the network (e.g., the IP address). The common name can be a network IP or the FQDN of the element. Organization The legal name of the organization. Organizational Unit - The division of the organization handling the certificate. City/Locality - The city where the organization is located. State/County/Region - The state/region where the organization is located. Country - The two-letter ISO code for the country where the organization is location. Email address - An email address used to contact the organization. 6.7.4.5 SNMP IP-10C supports SNMP v1, V2c or v3. The default community string in NMS and the SNMP agent in the embedded SW are disabled. Users are allowed to set community strings for access to IDUs. SNMPv3 connections are authenticated with a single user ID and password. Admin users can configure this user ID and password. IP-10C supports the following MIBs: RFC-1213 (MIB II) RMON MIB Ceragon (proprietary) MIB.

Product Description
6.7.4.6
Server authentication (SSL / SLLv3) All protocols making use of SSL (such as HTTPS) use SLLv3 and support X.509 certificates-based server authentication. Users with type of administrator or above can perform the following server authentication operations for certificates handling: Generate server key pairs (private + public) Export public key (as a file to a user-specified address) Install third-party certificates The Admin user is responsible for obtaining a valid certificate. Load a server RSA key pair that was generated externally for use by protocols making use of SSL. Non-SSL protocols using asymmetric encryption, such as SSH and SFTP, can make use of public-key based authentication. Users can load trusted public keys for this purpose.
6.7.4.7
Encryption Encryption algorithms for secure management protocols include: Symmetric key algorithms: 128-bit AES Asymmetric key algorithms: 1024-bit RSA
6.7.4.8
SSH The CLI interface supports SSH-2 Users of type of administrator or above can enable or disable SSH.
6.7.5
Security Log
The security log is an internal system file which records all changes performed to any security feature, as well as all security related events. Note: The Security log can only be accessed via the CLI. The security log file has the following attributes: The file is of a cyclic nature (fixed size, newest events overwrite oldest). The log can only be read by users with "admin" or above privilege. The log can be viewed using the following command: /management/mng-services/log-srv/security log/view-security log The contents of the log file are cryptographically protected and digitally signed. In the event of an attempt to modify the file, an alarm will be raised. Users may not overwrite, delete, or modify the log file. The security log records: Changes in security configuration Carrying out security configuration copy to mate Management channels time-out Password aging time Number of unsuccessful login attempts for user suspension

Installation Requirements
The IP-10C shall be installed in accordance with the national code and requirements of the country in which the IP-10C is being installed. The IP-10C is intended for installation in a Restricted Access Area. The IP-10C shall be installed within 140 feet (42.67 meters) from the building. Otherwise, Ethernet and other SELV connections will turn to TNV. A 2-Pole circuit breaker, a branch circuit protector, suitably certified in accordance with applicable national code and regulations, rated maximum 20A, shall be installed for full power disconnection in a building installation. The units earthing screw terminal shall be permanently connected to protective earth in a building installation in accordance with applicable national code and regulations by a service person. Any outdoor antenna cable shield shall be permanently connected to protective earth in a building installation.
In Norway and Sweden:
Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective earthing and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system has therefore to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11). Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet utstyr og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forrsake brannfare. For unng dette skal det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres en galvanisk isolator mellom utstyret og kabel- TV nettet. Translation to Swedish: Utrustning som r kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vgguttag och/eller via annan utrustning och samtidigt r kopplad till kabelTV nt kan i vissa fall medfra risk fr brand. Fr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av utrustningen till kabel-TV nt galvanisk isolator finnas mellan utrustningen och kabel-TV ntet.
