SDH analysis: Wonderful transport feature
but…
• Advantage • Weak point
• Rich OAM overhead • Bandwidth Utilization for Eth services
• Multi Protection Mechanism with • Grooming inefficiency ( TDM interface)
switching time ≤ 50ms • Lack of statistical multiplexing (TDM Kernel)
• GUI NMS easy for OAM • Bandwidth limitation (Max 10G)
• Synchronous structure
• Service Guarantee

Global Internet users Networked devices Annual IP Traffic

and connections
Annual global IP traffic will pass the zettabyte threshold by the mid of 2017, and will reach
2.3 ZB=2.3*1012 GB per year by 2020.

Overview of RPR & MPLS-TP

Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) MPLS-Transport Profile (MPLS-TP)

• IEEE began the RPR standards (IEEE • MPLS-TP is designed for use as a network
layer technology in transport networks.
802.17) development project in December Started by the transport network experts
2000 and has undergone several of the ITU-T, specifically SG15, as T-MPLS.
amendments since its initial standard was Since 2008 the work is progressed in a
completed in June 2004.
• RPR is a option to resolve the inherent
cooperation between ITU-T and
inefficiency of SDH rings by using statistical IETF.
multiplexing
• MPLS-TP is new designed Packet Transport
• RPR over SDH or Ethernet Network technology. Same level transport
feature like SDH with inherent high
• Improvement solution for SDH to catch IP
efficiently for Ethernet traffic
trends
• Revolutionary transport solution for IP era

MPLS-TP
• Support 10GE/40GE/100GE
• Single box support Multi-10GE/40GE/100GE

MPLS-TP Supports Flexible Topology
• RPR only suitable for small network or used as
aggregation only
• Need other equipment(e.g. OC-LAN) to collect traffic
from Access equipment
• RPR+OCLAN cannot provide end to end service
monitor, difficult for maintenance
RPR
Ring only
• MPLS-TP support flexible topology and very easy to
networking a big network for whole city. By add a
national aggregation MPLS-TP layer we can even
connect whole country’s MPLS-TP into one network
• One-stop solution cover access, aggregation and core
• End to end service monitor, easy for maintenance
