2.3.1 Overview of Software Architecture

The software system is of a modular structure. The modules accomplish the corresponding functions and interoperate with each other. The software modules fall into three types: the board software that runs on a variety of functional boards, the NE software that runs on the system control and communication board, and the network management software that runs on the network management computer. The software system is of layered design. That is, each layer performs specific functions and serves its upper layer. Figure 2-4 shows the general architecture of software. All the modules except the network management system and the board software are NE software. Figure 2-4 General architecture of software
2.3.2 Communication Protocols and Interfaces

The communication interfaces on the equipment are mainly Qx interfaces. For the description of the protocol stacks and messages on the Qx interfaces, see ITU-T G.773, ITU-T Q.811, and ITU-T Q.812. A Qx interface mainly connects a mediation device (MD), Q adaptation (QA), or network element (NE) with an operations system (OS) through the local communication network (LCN). A QA interface is provided at the NE management layer, and an MD and OS are provided at the network management layer. As specified in the Recommendation, a Qx interface is developed in compliance with the Connectionless Network LayerService (CLNS1) based on TCP/IP.

2.3.3 Board Software

Board software runs on boards configured with CPUs and performs management, monitoring, and control functions for the boards. On the OptiX OSN 550, the software that controls all boards runs on the CXL board. The board software receives the commands issued by the NE software, and reports the board status to the NE software in the form of performance events and alarms. The specific functions include alarm management, performance management, configuration management, and communication management. The drive control over functional circuits of the board is software-specific. The ITU-T compliant functions are achieved under the control of the NE software.
2.3.4 NE Software
The NE software manages, monitors, and controls the running of boards in the NE. In addition, the NE software serves as the service unit for the communication between the NMS and boards. In this manner, the NMS can control and manage the NE. In compliance with ITU-T M.3010, the NE software belongs to the element management layer in the telecommunications management network (TMN), and provides NE functions, some coordination functions, and operations system functions at the network element layer. The data communication function (DCF) provides communication functions between the NE and other components (including mediation devices, NMS, and other NEs).
Real-time multi-task operating system The real-time multi-task operating system of the NE software is responsible for the management of public resources and supports applications. This system provides an application execution environment that is independent of the processor hardware, to separate applications from the processor.
Communication and control module The Communication and control module is the interface module between the NE software and the board software. According to the corresponding communication protocol, the communication and control module achieves the communication between the NE software and the board software. In this manner, the information can be exchanged and the equipment can be maintained. On one hand, the communication and control module issues the maintenance operation commands of the NE software to the boards. On the other hand, it reports the status, alarms, and performance events of the boards to the NE software.
Network side (NS) module The network side (NS) module is between the communication module and equipment management module. It converts the data format between the user operation side on the application layer and the NE equipment management layer, and provides security control for the NE layer. The NS module can be subdivided into three submodules in terms of function: Qx interface module, command line interface module, and security management module.
Equipment management module The equipment management module (AM) is the kernel of the NE software. It implements NE management, and includes the Manager and the Agent. The Manager sends network management operation commands and receives event information. The Agent responds to the network management operation commands sent by the Manager,
Issue 02 (2011-06-30)

performs operations to managed objects, and reports events according to the status change of the managed objects.
Communication module This module fulfills the message communication function (MCF) of the functional blocks of the transmission network equipment. Through the hardware interface provided by the SCB board, the communication module transmits the OAM&P information and exchanges management information between the NMS and NEs, and between NEs themselves. The communication module consists of network communication module, serial communication module, and ECC communication module.
Database management module The database management module is a principal component of the NE software. It consists of the data and the programs. The data, organized by database form, consists of the network database, alarm database, performance database, and equipment database. The program manages and accesses the data in the databases.
2.3.5 NMS Software

Like other optical transmission equipment, the OptiX OSN 550 is managed by the iManager series NMS. The NMS manages the optical transport network, and maintains all the OSN, SDH, Metro, and DWDM equipment on networks. The NMS, which complies with the ITU-T Recommendations, adopts a standard management information model and the object-oriented management technology. The NMS exchanges information with the NE software through the communication module to monitor and manage the network equipment. The NMS software runs on a workstation or PC. It manages the equipment and the transmission network. The NMS software provides the operation and maintenance function for the transmission equipment, and also provides the management capability for the transmission network. The NMS software has the following management functions:
Alarm management: collects, prompts, filters, browses, acknowledges, checks, clears, counts alarms in real time, inserts alarms, analyzes alarm correlation, and diagnoses faults. Performance management: sets performance monitoring; browses, analyses and prints performance data; forecasts medium- and long-term performance; resets the performance register. Configuration management: configures and manages the ports, clocks, services, trails, subnets, and time. Security management: NM user management; NE user management; NE login management; NE login lockout; NE setting lockout; and local craft terminal (LCT) access control. Maintenance management: performs loopbacks; resets boards; automatically shuts down lasers; detects fiber power; collects equipment data. In this manner, the maintenance personnel can locate and rectify equipment faults more quickly.

Fiber-Shared Virtual Path Protection

In the fiber-shared virtual path protection, one STM-16 or STM-4 optical path is logically divided into multiple lower order or higher order paths. The path-level rings can be configured with the protection schemes such as MSP, SNCP, and non-protection. As shown in Figure 3-1, an STM-4 path is logically divided into two. Two VC-4 channels are configured with MSP, and the other two VC-4 channels are divided into lower order channels and then configured with SNCP. This protection scheme is fiber-shared virtual path protection.
Any combination of MSP and SNCP is supported on a shared fiber. The virtual paths that share the fiber, however, cannot be of the MSP attribute at the same time, because an optical path can provide only one pair of K bytes.

EPL service EVPL Service EPLAN service EVPLAN service
EPL Service
The EPL technology accomplishes the point-to-point transparent transmission of the Ethernet services. As shown in Figure 3-2, the Ethernet services of different NEs are transmitted to the destination node through their segregated VCTRUNKs. In this manner, secure and reliable transmission is achieved. The Ethernet services are also protected by SDH self-healing ring (SHR).

3.6.2 Protection Support

The OptiX OSN 550 supports Ethernet protection schemes such as Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS), Spanning Tree Protocol(STP)/Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Link State Pass Through (LPT).
LCAS
LCAS provides an error tolerance mechanism, which provides services and restores a failed member. LCAS has the following functions:
When used with the concatenation technology, LCAS enables the configuration of system capacity, the increase and decrease in concatenated VCs, and the dynamic change in bearer bandwidth (services are not affected during the dynamic change). LCAS provides services and restores a failed member.
As shown in Figure 3-9, LCAS can dynamically add members to increase bandwidth, without interrupting services. LCAS can also dynamically delete members to reduce bandwidth.

STP/RSTP
The Ethernet boards support the STP/RSTP. After the STP and RSTP are started, the topology must be reconfigured to prevent broadcast storms. In addition, STP and RSTP can protect links through topology reconstruction.
LPT
LPT is a link-based protection scheme. When the active and standby ports between routers are on different links, LPT can be used to protect services. To be specific, when a working link becomes faulty, LPT shuts down the local port so that the opposite router learns that the working link has failed. Then, the services are switched from the active port to the standby port for transmission.
3.6.3 Maintenance
The OptiX OSN 550 supports a variety of Ethernet operation and maintenance functions.
ETH-OAM
ETH-OAM enhances the Ethernet Layer 2 maintenance to strongly support the service continuity verification, service deployment commissioning and network fault locating. With the continuous development of the Ethernet, especially when the network develops from LAN to WAN, operators pay more attention to equipment maintainability. Solutions to
Issue 02 (2011-06-30)
30
operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) in the transmission network are required urgently. Therefore, ETH-OAM is developed. As a protocol based on the MAC layer, ETH-OAM checks Ethernet links by transmitting OAM protocol packets. Compared with the transmission medium, this protocol is independent. The OAM packets are processed only at the MAC layer, having no impact at other layers in the Ethernet. Moreover, as a low-rate protocol, the ETH-OAM protocol occupies low bandwidth. Therefore, this protocol does not affect services carried on the link. Comparison between ETH-OAM and existing network on maintenance and fault locating:

The current port loopback function focuses on all packets at the port. Therefore, the loopback cannot be performed for a specific service selectively. ETH-OAM can detect hardware faults. ETH-OAM can detect and locate faults automatically.
Both ITU-T and IEEE have researches on ETH-OAM. Currently, Huawei Ethernet service processing boards realize the ETH-OAM function, which is subject to IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah. As shown in Figure 3-11, the combination of IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah provides a complete Ethernet OAM solution. Figure 3-11 Application of IEEE 802.1ag OAM and IEEE 802.3ah OAM

IEEE 802.1ag OAM focuses on the maintenance of end-to-end Ethernet links. Based on services, IEEE 802.1ag OAM realizes the end-to-end check by detecting each maintenance domain successively. That is, it performs segmental management on each network segment that is involved in the same service in the network. IEEE 802.3ah OAM focuses on the point-to-point Ethernet link maintenance between two pieces of directly-connected equipment in Ethernet in the first mile (EFM). IEEE 802.3ah OAM does not focus on the specific service. It maintains the Ethernet point-to-point link by performing OAM auto-discovery, link performance monitoring, fault check, remote loopback and self-loop check.

Test Frames
A test frame is a data packet that is used to test the connectivity on the SDH network carrying Ethernet services. The test frame is mainly used for deployment commissioning or fault locating of Ethernet services. Test frames can be used to test inter-NE Ethernet services and to locate faulty nodes in the case of errors. In addition, test frames can be used to query the information about the opposite NE, including NE ID, NE name, port ID, and VCTRUNK ID. In terms of service processing, a transport network can be an access network or a service network. For deployment commissioning or fault locating of Ethernet services, test frames can be used to test the connectivity of SDH links on the service network. The bandwidth occupied by test frames is too low to be considered. The sending mode and number of test frames can be set. As shown in Figure 3-12, when Ethernet services between Router 1 and Router 2 are unavailable, test frames can be sent between neighboring nodes to locate the fault. The testing process is as follows: 1. 2. 3.

The VCTRUNK port of the data board on NE1 sends test frames to the VCTRUNK port of the data board on NE2. Upon receiving test frames, NE2 sends response packets to NE1. NE1 counts the sent frames and received frames. Users determine the quality of the service network based on the counts. For bidirectional services, the service network is considered normal if the transmit end receives response packets. For unidirectional services, the service network is considered normal if the receive end receives test frames.

RMON
The remote monitor (RMON) function can be used to monitor the transport network data of different network segments. RMON provides the setting and query of statistics and control information at Ethernet ports. The information is used for the analysis of Ethernet performance. In addition, RMON notifies the NMS of the change in network performance through alarm and performance mechanisms. The notification enables the NMS to conveniently manage the network. As shown in Figure 3-13, there are five sites, and Site E needs to monitor the Ethernet service from Site A. Figure 3-13 Application networking of RMON
NE B NE A
There is an Ethernet service between Site A and Site E. The RMON function is used to monitor the service from Site A. By querying the RMON performance of Ethernet service boards on Site E, you can learn the alarm and performance information about the Ethernet boards on Site A (transmit end). The RMON function is achieved through the following modules:

Statistics group: records the current statistics of the real-time performance at Ethernet ports. History group: records the statistics of the Ethernet performance in a certain history period. History control group: specifies the method for obtaining the history data of each Ethernet port. Alarm group: provides alarm setting and enabling/disabling of monitoring status in statistical samples.

5.1 DCN

Operation and Maintenance
The OptiX OSN 550 supports three types of communication protocols and the transparent transmission of DCC overheads over the external clock ports for the DCN networking. When the OAM information of the OptiX OSN 550 needs to be transparently transmitted by the third-party equipment, or when the OptiX OSN 550 needs to transparently transmit the OAM information of the third-party equipment, the following modes can be adopted: HW ECC IP over DCC OSI over DCC
When the DCC bytes of the third-party equipment cannot transmit the OAM information of the OptiX OSN 550, the external clock port of the OptiX OSN 550 can be used instead. Table 5-1 lists the DCC allocation modes supported by the OptiX OSN 550.

ACAP
A channel configuration method, which uses two adjacent channels (a horizontal polarization wave and a vertical polarization wave) to transmit two signals. The process in which the standby cross-connect board automatically takes the place of the active one. If there are two cross-connect boards on the SDH equipment, which are in hot back-up relation of each other, the operation reliability is improved. When both the cross-connect boards are in position, the one inserted first is in the working status. Unplug the active board, the standby one will run in the working status automatically. When the active cross-connect board fails in self-test, the board is pulled out, the board power supply fails or the board hardware operation fails, the standby cross-connect board can automatically take the place of the active one. Network elements that provide access to all or some subset of the constituent signals contained within an STM-N signal. The constituent signals are added to (inserted), and/or dropped from (extracted) the STM-N signal as it passed through the ADM. See add/drop multiplexer The information structure which provides adaptation between the higher order path layer and the multiplex section layer. It consists of an information payload (the higher order VC) and a AU pointer which indicates the offset of the payload frame start relative to the multiplex section frame start.

alarm indication
A function that indicates the alarm status of an NE. On the cabinet of an NE, there are four indicators in different colors indicating the current alarm status of the NE. When the green indicator is on, the NE is powered on. When the red indicator is on, a critical alarm is generated. When the orange indicator is on, a major alarm is generated. When the yellow indicator is on, a minor alarm is generated. The ALM alarm indicator on the front panel of a board indicates the current status of the board. A code sent downstream in a digital network as an indication that an upstream failure has been detected and alarmed. It is associated with multiple transport layers. For the port that has already been configured but has no service, this function can be used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference. The alarm report condition of the NE port is related to the alarm inverse mode (not inverse, automatic recovery and manual recovery) setting of the NE and the alarm inversion status (Enable and Disable) setting of the port. When the alarm inversion mode of NE is set to no inversion, alarms of the port will be reported as usual no matter whatever the inversion status of the port is. When the alarm inversion mode of the NE is set to automatic recovery, and the alarm inversion state of the port is set to Enabled, then the alarm of the port will be suppressed. The alarm inversion status of the port will automatically recover to "not inverse" after the alarm ends. For the port that has already been configured but not actually loaded with services, this function can be used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference. When the alarm inverse mode of the NE is set as "not automatic recovery", if the alarm inversion status of the port is set as Enable, the alarm of the port will be reported. An alarm management method. Alarms that are set to be masked are not displayed on the NMS or the NMS does not monitor unimportant alarms. The significance of a change in system performance or events.

BIP
A method of error monitoring. With even parity an X-bit code is generated by equipment at the transmit end over a specified portion of the signal in such a manner that the first bit of the code provides even parity over the first bit of all X-bit sequences in the covered portion of the signal, the second bit provides even parity over the second bit of all X-bit sequences within the specified portion, and so on. Even parity is generated by setting the BIP-X bits so that there is an even number of 1s in each monitored partition of the signal. A monitored partition comprises all bits which are in the same bit position within the X-bit sequences in the covered portion of the signal. The covered portion includes the BIP-X.

An NE provides two types of registers, namely, 15-minute register and 24-hour register, to store performance parameters of a performance monitoring entity. The two types of registers stores performance data only in the specified monitoring period. A procedure used in checking for errors in data transmission. CRC error checking uses a complex calculation to generate a number based on the data transmitted. The sending device performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in the packet that it sends to the receiving device. The receiving device repeats the same calculation after transmission. If both devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the transmission was error free. The procedure is known as a redundancy check because each transmission includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values.

Field Programmable Gate Array A frame, starting with a header, is a string of bytes with a specified length. Frame length is represented by the sampling circle or the total number of bytes sampled during a circle. A header comprises one or a number of bytes with pre-specified values. In other words, a header is a code segment that reflects the distribution (diagram) of the elements pre-specified by the sending and receiving parties. A ratio, is expressed as a percentage, of the number of service frames not delivered divided by the total number of service frames during time interval T, where the number of service frames not delivered is the difference between the number of service frames arriving at the ingress ETH flow point and the number of service frames delivered at the egress ETH flow point in a point-to-point ETH connection. An operating condition of a clock, the output signal of which is strongly influenced by the oscillating element and not controlled by servo phase-locking techniques. In this mode the clock has never had a network reference input, or the clock has lost external reference and has no access to stored data, that could be acquired from a previously connected external reference. Free-run begins when the clock output no longer reflects the influence of a connected external reference, or transition from it. Free-run terminates when the clock output has achieved lock to an external reference.

A diversity scheme in which two or more microwave frequencies with a certain frequency interval are used to transmit/receive the same signal and selection is then performed between the two signals to ease the impact of fading. File Transfer Protocol A full-duplex, or sometimes double-duplex system, allows communication in both directions, and, unlike half-duplex, allows this to happen simultaneously. Land-line telephone networks are full-duplex, since they allow both callers to speak and be heard at the same time.

Link
In the topology view, a link is used to identify the physical or logical connection between two topological nodes. A link is used to connect signaling points (SPs) and signaling transfer points (STPs) and transmit signaling messages. A method of bundling a group of physical interfaces together as a logical interface to increase bandwidth and reliability. For related protocols and standards, refer to IEEE 802.3ad. An aggregation that allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a link aggregation group so that a MAC client can treat the link aggregation group as if it were a single link. LCAS in the virtual concatenation source and sink adaptation functions provides a control mechanism to hitless increase or decrease the capacity of a link to meet the bandwidth needs of the application. It also provides a means of removing member links that have experienced failure. The LCAS assumes that in cases of capacity initiation, increases or decreases, the construction or destruction of the end-to-end path is the responsibility of the network and element management systems. Logical Link Control See Loss Measurement When the switching condition is satisfied, this function disables the service from being switched from the working channel to the protection channel. When the service has been switched, the function enables the service to be restored from the protection channel to the working channel.

S1 byte A byte to transmit network synchronization status information. On an SDH network, each NE traces hop by hop to the same clock reference source through a specific clock synchronization path, realizing synchronization on the entire network. If a clock reference source traced by an NE is missing, this NE will trace another clock reference source of a lower level. To implement protection switching of clocks in the whole network, the NE must learn about clock quality information of the clock reference source it traces. Therefore, ITU-T defines S1 byte to transmit network synchronization status information. It uses the lower four bits of the multiplex section overhead S1 byte to indicate 16 types of synchronization quality grades. Auto protection switching of clocks in a synchronous network can be implemented using S1 byte and a proper switching protocol.

A measure that ensures that the services can be received at the receive end. Severely Errored Second Synchronous Equipment Timing Source Parameters of a system or operation that can be selected by the user. See Signal Fail A signal indicating that associated data has failed in the sense that a near-end defect condition (non-degrade defect) is active. See Small Form-Factor Pluggable Single-line High speed Digital Subscriber Line The Side Mode Suppression Ratio (SMSR) is the ratio of the largest peak of the total source spectrum to the second largest peak. Common signal cables cover the E1 cable, network cable, and other non-subscriber signal cable. SD is a signal indicating the associated data has degraded in the sense that a degraded defect (e.g., dDEG) condition is active. SF is a signal indicating the associated data has failed in the sense that a near-end defect condition (not being the degraded defect) is active. A network management protocol of TCP/IP. It enables remote users to view and modify the management information of a network element. This protocol ensures the transmission of management information between any two points. The polling mechanism is adopted to provide basic function sets. According to SNMP, agents, which can be hardware as well as software, can monitor the activities of various devices on the network and report these activities to the network console workstation. Control information about each device is maintained by a management information block. Angle-bars on which shelves and chassis may slide and be supported within a cabinet or shelf.

SNCP node
Set the SNC node on the protection sub-network to support sub-network connection protection that spans protection sub-networks. The SNCP node of the ring sub-network can support electric circuit dually feed and selectively receive a timeslot out of the ring, thus implementing sub-network connection protection. The SNCP node is generally set on the node on the line board with the path protection type of the dual fed and selectively received. See Subnetwork Connection Tunnel Protection See Simple Network Management Protocol Signal Noise Ratio A diversity scheme that enables two or more antennas separated by a specific distance to transmit/receive the same signal and selection is then performed between the two signals to ease the impact of fading. Currently, only receive SD is used. STP is a protocol that is used in the LAN to remove the loop. STP applies to the redundant network to block some undesirable redundant paths through certain algorithms and prune a loop network into a loop-free tree network.

subnet mask
The technique used by the IP protocol to determine which network segment packets are destined for. The subnet mask is a binary pattern that is stored in the client machine, server or router matches with the IP address. The only difference is that SNCP is of 1+1 protection and SNCMP is of N+1 protection. That is, several backup channels protect one active channel in SNCMP. A function, which allows a working subnetwork connection to be replaced by a protection subnetwork connection if the working subnetwork connection fails, or if its performance falls below a required level. SNCTP provides a VC-4 level channel protection. When the working channel is faulty, the services of the entire VC-4 path can be switched over to the protection channel. A part used to support and fix a cabinet on the antistatic floor. It is made of welded steel plates and is used to block up the cabinets to facilitate floor layout and cabling. Before the whole set of equipment is grounded, insulation plates must be installed under the supports, and insulating coverings must be added to the expansion bolts to achieve good insulation performance. An attribute set to determine whether an NE monitors the alarm. Under suppression status, NE will not monitor the corresponding alarm conditions and the alarm will not occur even when the alarm conditions are met. Switching Virtual Connection A priority of a board that is defined for protection switching. When several protected boards need to be switched, a switching priority should be set for each board. If the switching priorities of the boards are the same, services on the board that fails later cannot be switched. Services on the board with higher priority can preempt the switching resources of that with lower priority. It refers to the period of time between the start of detecting and the moment when the line is switched back to the original status after protection switching occurs in the MSP sub-network. A message that carries quality levels of timing signals on a synchronous timing link. Nodes on an SDH network and a synchronization network acquire upstream clock information through this message. Then the nodes can perform proper operations on their clocks, such as tracing, switching, or converting to holdoff, and forward the synchronization information to downstream nodes.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
A transmission scheme that follows ITU-T G.707, G.708, and G.709. It defines the transmission features of digital signals such as frame structure, multiplexing mode, transmission rate level, and interface code. SDH is an important part of ISDN and B-ISDN. It interleaves the bytes of low-speed signals to multiplex the signals to high-speed counterparts, and the line coding of scrambling is used only for signals. SDH is suitable for the fiber communication system with high speed and a large capacity since it uses synchronous multiplexing and flexible mapping structure. A clock providing timing services to connected network elements. This would include clocks conforming to Recommendations G.811, G.812 and G.813.

transparent transmission Tray Tributary loopback Tributary Protection Switch Tributary unit
A process during which the signaling protocol or data is not processed in the content but encapsulated in the format for the processing of the next phase. A component that can be installed in the cabinet for holding chassis or other devices. A fault can be located for each service path by performing loopback to each path of the tributary board. There are three kinds of loopback modes: no loopback, outloop, and inloop. A function that uses a standby tributary processing board to protect N tributary processing boards. An information structure which provides adaptation between the lower order path layer and the higher order path layer. It consists of an information payload (the lower order VC) and a TU pointer which indicates the offset of the payload frame start relative to the higher order VC frame start. One or more Tributary Units, occupying fixed, defined positions in a higher order VC-n payload is termed a Tributary Unit Group (TUG). TUGs are defined in such a way that mixed capacity payloads made up of different size Tributary Units can be constructed to increase flexibility of the transport network. Time To Live Tributary Unit See Tributary Unit Group A channel on the packet switching network that transmits service traffic between PEs. In VPN, a tunnel is an information transmission channel between two entities. The tunnel ensures secure and transparent transmission of VPN information. In most cases, a tunnel is an MPLS tunnel. A field in an IP packet (IP datagram) used for quality of service (QoS). The TOS field has 8 bits in length, which is divided into five subfields.
