ATTs Global Network

• The platforms we deploy domestically are also
  used internationally
• Customers get the same service from ATT all
  over the world

IP CONVERGENCE ADVANCED PACKET TECHNOLOGY
14
What is MPLS?

• Per the MPLS Forum
• Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
  Architecture is a key development in IP
  Technologies that will assist in adding a number
  of essential capabilities to todays IP networks

15
MPLS A Unifying Network Architecture

• Application Benefits
• Full mesh connectivity
• Multiple classes of SVCVoice, Video, data
• IP VPNs
• Automatic Disaster recovery
• Secure connection to the Internet

• Architecture Benefits
• Provider backbone technology
• Traffic Engineering
• Scalable, Hierarchical
• Layer 2 transport
• Reliability Security

16
What is Class of Service (CoS)?

• CoS is the ability to prioritize one type of
  traffic over another and to have some level of
  assurance that the traffic and service
  requirements can be satisfied.
• CoS does not create bandwidth it allows a
  customer and a carrier to more efficiently manage
  bandwidth according to application demands.
• Key CoS parameters to be managed /controlled are
  bandwidth, delay, jitter and packet loss

17
Why Quality of Service is a concern
VoIP ERP Multimedia VPN WWW
Low Latency Required Low Bandwidth
Latency Tolerant Bursty Bandwidth
Non-Uniform Network Traffic demands Traffic
Management
18
Why is CoS needed?

• Application demands
• Important applications such as Voice over IP,
  video-conferencing, and mission critical ERP
  (SAP) have strict delay and guarantee
  requirements to perform properly.
• The Network is being used increasingly for
  delivery of mission-critical information that
  cannot tolerate unpredictable losses.
• Solution
• The enterprise network must be designed with the
  ability to differentiate traffic and enable
  different service levels for different users and
  applications.

19
How can we achieve Quality of Service?
By applying several traffic mgmt techniques in
the customer site router and the carrier network
a quality solution is created.

• Classification
• Classification of packets into different lists is
  done in the customer router based on customer
  requirements
• Marking
• Controls the amount of traffic accepted for each
  class
• Policing
• Discards the excess traffic

• Traffic Shaping
• Queues the access traffic
• Fair Queuing
• Provides minimum bandwidth guarantee to each
  class. One queue used for each class
• Congestion mechanism
• In case of congestion, traffic of the lowest
  priority class is discarded first

20
CoS via IP Packet Marking

• Markings set
• CE classifies traffic per packet via marking
• IP Precedence bits or Dif Serv Code Points
• Marking interpreted
• Separate queuing per class
• Per class resource scheduling, e.g.,
• Priority queuing (LLQ)
• Bandwidth scheduling (CBWFQ)

Private Network Transport (PNT) MPLS on an IP
Network
PNT offers any-to-any Private connectivity and
Class of SVC over an IP Network without VPN
equipment
Data Packet - two labels
The outer label (first-level) is the forwarding
transport across core
The inner label (second-level) identifies the
customer VPN
23
VOIP Design Principles

• Common Architecture for all real time svcs
• Maximize usage on a single set of shared
  resources
• Accommodate multiple access technologies
• SIP as common internal signaling protocol
• Open standards for all internal interfaces
• Provide security to protect ATT and client
  assets
• Build capacity to track demand
