L2 MPLS Transport
Two technologies for L2 transport over MPLS:

Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS)
Used for L2 point-to-point link over MPLS cloud
No MAC learning involved
Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS)

Used for multipoint L2 connections
Collection of pseudowires tied together by a Virtual Forwarding Interface (VFI)
MAC addresses learned on VFI
Traffic forwarding based on destination MAC addresses
H-VPLS, an extension of VPLS
Ethernet VPN is a new technology for NGN L2VPN Services (not

described in this breakout!)

MPLS Transport Profile

T-MPLS requirements feeding into IETF MPLS-TP enhancements:
MPLS-TP differs technologically from T-MPLS. ITU stopped work on T-MPLS.
Effort to address Pt-to-Pt ATM-like transport centric networks (like ATM PVCs)
Focused on connection-oriented (CO-PS) services
Data planebased on IETF MPLS, with restricted options
No ECMP, no PHP, no LSP merging
Control planestatic and/or dynamic
Static provisioning with NMS, with standardized common functions
Dynamic control plane based on GMPLS or IP/MPLS

Access Node Connectivity Models
The models considered are part of DSL Forum TR-101 section 2.5.1
Multiple VC DSL UNI
Trunk UNISingle VC DSL or Ethernet
Non-Trunk UNISingle VC DSL or Ethernet
In the Multiple VC DSL UNI model, the VC is used for both service prioritization
and service connectivity
In the Single VC DSL and Ethernet UNI models, these functions are distributed in
802.1p COS and 802.1Q VLANs
Choice of model will be dependent on Access Node and RG capability, number
and type of services offered and available bandwidth on local loop
VLAN Architectures

VFI VFI
Im just in a normal Im the second-

STP ring best root
Operation
Top PE sends pre-canned BPDUs (best root) into L2 access network
Access network runs normal MSTP, MSTP is terminated locally on the PE access ports
MSTP TCNs trigger VPLS MAC Flush + Withdraw
MST instances have per port local significance greatly improves scalability
Only subset of functionality needed for REP Access Gateway
Benefits
Seamless integration with any L2 access network or node running MSTP, full standard compliance
Inherent scalability and faster L2 convergence due to local Rapid STP behaviour
Ring Protection Protocols
Another Push Beyond Spanning Tree
A ring topology is a cheap method of achieving redundancy, suitable for

access networks
Spanning tree is geared toward loop avoidance in a general topology and
does not require configuration, but this comes at the cost of convergence
time
If a topology is known to be a ring at the outset, a loop avoidance protocol
can be designed and optimized to achieve rapid 50ms convergence (but
does require configuration and some hardware support)
G.8032 and Ciscos REP are such examples
What Is Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) ?
A new protocol designed to provide a solution for fast and predicable

Layer 2 convergence for Carrier Ethernet networks
Fast and predictable convergence
Convergence time: 50 to 250ms
Fast failure notification even in large rings
Limit the scope of Spanning Tree
STP is deactivated on REP interfaces
STP TCN sent away from the segment if segment fails
Allows VLAN load balancing for optimal bandwidth utilization
Cisco proprietary (future alignment and interworking with ITU-T G.8032)
REP
A Segment Protocol
REP guarantees there is no connectivity between two edge ports on a

segment
A REP segment is a chain of ports connected to each other and
configured with a segment ID
When all interfaces in the segment are UP, the alternate port is blocking
When a link or switch failure occurs on the segment, then blocked port
goes forwarding
REP Segment
Edge Port Link Open

Blocked Edge Port

G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP)
Objectives and Principles
Protection switching on Ethernet layer

Utilizes conventional Ethernet bridge domains as forwarding plane
Preventing any loops by blocking mechanism
Can protect against any single failure on the ring
Fast convergence (50 ms)
Support of administrative commands (e.g. to force a failure etc)
Relies on Ethernet OAM for fault detection and as its control channel, and
Y.1731 Ring-Automatic Protection Switching (R-APS) to signal a failure
upstream
Supports Closed and Open (like a REP Segment) Rings
Functionally Equivalent to REP (with open rings)

Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation
Inter Chassis Control Protocol
MC-LAG & ICCP enable a switch/router to use standard Ethernet Link

Dual-homed Device (DHD) operates as if it is connected to single virtual device
and runs IEEE std. 802.1AX-2008 (LACP)

IP Fast ReRoute
Theory & Terminology
Path: Outgoing interface and next hop

Backup: an outgoing interface/nhop which is used to replace another one that went
down. It can be:
another primary ECMP nhop
a secondary LFA routing path
LFA: Loop-Free Alternate
N is an LFA for Ss primary path to D via F if ND < NS + SD
Node-protecting LFA if: ND < NF + FD
Downstream LFA if: ND < SD
Computation of LFA occurs after calculating the primary path, therefore IGP FC
performance is not affected
Integrated with LDP
Because LFA is precomputed and installed in the FIB, it provides deterministic
protection(<50ms)
IP Fast ReRoute
Per-Prefix LFA Algorithm
D1
C
S F
D2
For IGP route D1, Ss primary path is link SF.

S checks for each neighbor N (<>F) whether ND1 < NS + SD1 (Eq1)
does the path from the neighbor to D1 avoid me?
If so, it is a loop-free alternate (LFA) to my primary path to D1
C is an LFA for D1, E is an LFA for D2

Problem Statement
Scale - Interconnect 100k Access nodes through an MPLS domain
Resilience - < 50msec convergence as often as possible
Simplicity - Operation of big MPLS networks is often considered difficult

Solution
Layer of hierarchy to scale

RFC 3107-based hierarchical LSPs over IGP
IGP/LDP inter-area summarization
ABRs are BGP speakers (next-hop-self)
ABRs are Route Reflectors.
Further RR hierarchy can be used to avoid full mesh iBGP connectivity
among ABRs
BGPs applicability to scale PEs reachability with was made possible by
two key innovations:
BGP Prefix Independent Convergence (BGP-PIC):
BGP additional-path

or a few summaries covering all the r2r subnets in the L1 region
Only the core ABRs addresses are propagated from L2 to L1
plus potentially a few summaries covering all the r2r subnets in other regions
Static Routes to Access Nodes are redistributed into L1
L1 routes are redistributed into BGP (with filters) on ABRs

On Satellite
Satellite receive Ethernet frame on its access port
Satellite add special nV-tag, optionally have ingress qos policing, then local xconnect packet to its fabric port
Put packet into fabric port egress queue, transmit packet out
On Host
Host receive the packet on its satellite fabric port
Check the nV tag, then map the frame to the corresponding satellite virtual access port
From there, process packet just as local port, apply potential L2/L3 features, qos, ACL, etc
Packet is forwarded out of local port, or satellite fabric port to same or different satellite
