  • CLE and COE 2 implementations of Ethernet
  • COE Attributes
  • COE Applications

3
Connectionless Ethernet (CLE)
4
Connectionless Ethernet (CLE) Challenges
  • Ethernet switches forward frames to correct port
    based on destination MAC address (DA)
  • If destination MAC address unknown, switches
    broadcast frames to all ports (called flooding)
  • Flooding creates additional BW requirements on
    all links
  • Amount of flooding is not predictable
  • DA becomes known by learning
  • DA becomes unknown when the bridges age out MAC
    table entries in their memory 5 minutes
  • Table entry will not age out if frames keep
    comingbut no one can control this

Flooding plays havoc with QoS and resource
reservation

7
Connection-oriented Ethernet (COE)
  • Provides explicit definition of Ethernet paths
  • Disables Ethernet MAC address learning flooding
  • Ethernet paths could be
  • End to end (EVC)
  • Individual network segments
  • Resource reservation and admission control per
    EVC per CoS
  • Per-connection (EVC/Path) traffic management and
    traffic engineering

COE addresses the CLE challenges
8
COE Supported Network Topologies / MEF Service
Types
Linear
Mesh (E-Line or E-Tree)
Ring (E-Line or E-Tree)
Hub Spoke (E-Tree or Service Multiplexed EVPL)
E-Line
COE supports many topologies to support popular
Ethernet services
9
EMS/NMS Plays Critical Role for COE
  • COE does not use bridging control protocols
  • NMS used to provision VLAN cross connects and
    tunnels
  • COE relies on EMS/NMS for
  • Setup working/protect traffic engineered EVCs or
    network segments
  • Setup bandwidth profiles (CIR/EIR) with BW
    reservation
  • CIR is really guaranteed like with SONET/SDH
  • Other OAM function such as Fault Management

COE places more emphasis on the importance of the
NMS
10
COE The best of both worlds
  • SONET / SDH
  • Deterministic and precision QoS
  • Bandwidth reserved per STS / STM
  • 99.999 Availability
  • Highest Security (L1 service)
  • Connectionless Ethernet
  • Layer 2 Aggregation
  • Statistical Multiplexing
  • Flexible Bandwidth Granularity
  • Cost Effectiveness
  • Connection-Oriented Ethernet
  • Layer 2 Aggregation and Statistical Multiplexing
  • Deterministic and precision QoS
  • Bandwidth reserved per connection
  • Flexible Bandwidth Granularity
  • 99.999 Availability
  • Cost effectiveness
  • Highest Security

COE makes Carrier Ethernet more like a Layer 1
service but with all the benefits of Layer 2
Ethernet

Why COE ?
  • Makes Ethernet more like SONET which has
    dominated the metro network
  • Network operations procedures similar to SONET
  • Smooth transition for SONET-trained operations
    personnel
  • Easily scales to meet large scale metro
    connectivity and aggregation requirements
  • Ideally suited for
  • EoX Aggregation for handoff to service edge
    networks
  • Mobile Backhaul Networks
  • High Performance EVPL and EPL services

COE focus today Service Delivery and
Infrastructure in the Metro

  • MEF 6, MEF 10.2

COE Attributes
  • Deterministic QoS
  • Low Delay, Delay Variation, Loss
  • Y.1731, 802.1ag, MEF 10.2
  • Bandwidth Resource Reservation
  • High Scalability
  • Millions of EVCs
  • Layer 2 Aggregation
  • Statistical Multiplexing
  • Full Service Management

  • G.8031
  • 802.3ad Link Aggregation
  • Security
  • Bridging disabled - no vulnerabilities
  • L2 DOS attacks mitigated
  • MAC DOS attacks mitigated

COE is a high performance implementation of
Carrier Ethernet
16
COE Security Comparable to SONET
  • Management VLANs isolated from Subscriber traffic
  • similar to DCN isolation from subscriber traffic
    in SONET networks
  • With COE, MAC Address Learning / Flooding is
    disabled
  • MAC Address spoofing cannot occur
  • MAC table overflow DOS attacks cannot occur
  • With COE, vulnerable Layer 2 Control Protocols
    (L2CPs) like STP are disabled
  • Protocol-based vulnerabilities (DOS attacks) are
    mitigated
  • With COE, bridging is disabled so additional
    ports cannot be bridged to the point-to-point
    service
  • Traffic snooping cannot occur

COE provides security comparable Layer 1
(EoSONET) but without any of SONET bandwidth
utilization issues

COE Attributes for Network Survivability
  • IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Groups (LAG)
  • For local (link level) diversity and protection
  • If any fiber or port in LAG fails, other LAG
    members share the load
  • Can implement 11 protection with working/protect
    LAG members
  • ITU-T G.8031 Linear Path Protection
  • for EVC path diversity and sub-50ms path
    protection
  • Similar to SONET 11 UPSR path protection
  • Simple Provisioning Setup Working path and
    Protect path
  • Independent of Network Topology
  • Rings, Meshes, Multiple Rings and Linear
    Topologies

COE achieves high availability via multiple
levels of protection
19
COE Provides Dedicated Protection Switching

  • Dedicated protection resources
  • lt 50ms protection switching time
