  1. Strategiesfor Survivable Telecommunication Networks Dr. Meir Herzberg AVP Network-Planning Tools, Optical Networks December 2003

  2. Outline • Introduction • Network Architectures • Classification and strategies • Mesh Survivable networks • Ring Survivable networks • Future trends and concluding remarks

  3. Motivation • Higher bit rate of transmission systems (2.5, 10, 40 Gb/s, due to economy of scale advantages) • Evolvement of the DWDM technology • Fiber-optic infrastructure expensive ($50 per meter length, bill of land) and vulnerable • Introduction of real-time services (time critical) • Competition –available new alternatives • The establishment of re-configurable networks following the development of advanced NEs, e.g. DCSs / ODCSs and ADMs / OADMs • Selfhealing networks (W.Grover – Uni. of Alberta)

  4. Issues of concern • Assignment of redundant resources in the network (well before network failures) • Following network re-arrangement events • During provisioning • Recovery mechanisms immediately after failures occur • Protocols • Outage times • Equipment dependent

  5. Addressing Survivability • At the network infrastructure layer • Improved network capabilities • Closer to the underlying physical layer • Service differentiation • At the service layer • More service oriented • Own re-routing capabilities • Complementary service aspects • Telephony experience

  11. Classification ofSurvivable Networks ITU-T Restoration Protection Reconfigurable Network (rerouting protocol) Self-healing Network (on-demand protocol) Protection Switching - Dedicated, - Distributed (1+1, 1:1, 1:N) Resources - Shared, Mechanism - Distributed - Shared, - Centralized

  12. Survivable Networks – Strategies and Policies Resource Redundancy Recovery View Surveillance Mechanism Policy Network Segment (fiber, MS line, node) Distributed/Surveillance Mode Distributed with Centralized pre-planning Path Level (end-to-end) Centralized Management System Shared Restoration Semi- Dedicated Dedicated Protection

  13. Survivability – Tradeoff Resources Allocated Policy A Policy B Policy C Recovery Time msecs Secs 10XSecs

  14. Survivable Planning Phases • Selecting a suitable network architecture – geography, fiber infrastructure and traffic aspects • Establishing a suitable survivable network policy • Pre-planning of working and redundancy resources • During failure - alarming, real-time surveillance • Following failure - service outage, resource management • After failure is fixed -’revert to normal’ (not always)

  15. Outline • Introduction • Network Architecture • Classification and strategies • Mesh Survivable networks • Ring Survivable networks • Future trends, concluding remarks

  16. Network segment Line Recovery End to end Path Recovery Recovery View - Line vs Path

  17. Recovery View - Line vs Path Loop Haul Line Recovery may be associated with Loop Hauls * Usually less efficient in resource utilization (loop hauls) * Simple updates (total usage) * Potentially faster as recovery activities (single node-pair considerations compared to many origin-destination node-pairs considerations in Path Recovery)

  18. Working trail (shortest path) Protection trail (longer) Redundancy – Shared vs Dedicated • Dedicated protection resources - very demanding. Total protection resources can even be more then total working resources • Shared restoration may save dedundant resources Question - how much can be saved?

  19. Redundant Shared Resources • Saving following shared resources is network dependent. The higher the network connectivity the more diverse routes are available and the less redundant resources required • We can prove that the lower bound of shared resources is derived by the simple relationship 1 Network Connectivity - 1 Shared Resources Working Resources >= Average number of physical fibers per site can be explained

  21. Redundant Resources Dedicated, Semi-dedicated and Fully Shared • Dedicated - both routes and their associated resources are pre-calculated and assigned • Semi-dedicated – restoration routes are dedicated, failure independent, resources are shared and be used differently for different failure scenarios (named also “Fast Mesh”) • Fully Shared - both restoration routes and shared resources are failure dependent

  22. 2+3 2+3 C 2+3 3 2 3 3 A B 2 2 2 C,A B Working Paths (disjoint) B C,A Protecting/Restoration Paths Redundancy - Dedicated vs Semi dedicated The Semi-dedicated approach, developed first for ATM networks for restoration of Virtual Paths (VPs) can also be applied to other networks.

  23. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Mechanism - Distributed vs Centralised • Centralized mode has a global view of the network • Requires a demending Data Communication Network (DCN) between the NMS and the NEs • Reaching highest utilization of network resources • Distributed mode leads to faster recovery times but may face “Trap Situations” • Distributed mode leads to faster recovery times B A Two Capacity Units are Required to be Restored between A-B

  24. Outline • Introduction • Network Architecture • Classification and strategies • Mesh Survivable networks • Ring Survivable networks • Future trends, concluding remarks

  25. Main Ring Types • UPSR (unidirectional path-switched ring) • Both main and protection trails consume resources along the ring • Dedicated redundancy resources - Time Slot Assignment (TSA) • BPSR (bi-directional path-switched ring - Syncom) • Protection trails consume resources along the ring, complies with SNCP for inter-ring trails • Dedicated redundancy resources - TSA • BLSR (bi-directional line-switched ring) or MS-Spring (MS shared protection ring) • Reuse of time slots along the ring • Shared redundancy resources - Time Slot Interchange (TSI)

  26. BPSR vs UPSR • For protected trails, there is no difference as both uses resources along the entire rin • For unprotected trails BPSR is usually superior • Superiority is achieved by the use of OD shortest paths • Unprotect traffic between adjacent sites consume resources only from a single secion of the ring

  27. W P TSI F F W P B B D C D C Ring Survivable Networks BLSR (Mspring) vs BPSR Unprotected Trail Protected Trail

  28. MS-Spring vs BPSR • For unprotected trails, there is no difference as both have the same routing flexibility. • For protected trails MS-Spring is usually superior • Superiority is achieved by the use of shared resources through TSI mode of operation • Restoration time in MS-Spring is fast, despite using shared redundant resources, as routing decisions are simple • There are two types of MS-Spring: 2, 4 fibers (2F), (4F) • 4F-MS-Spring has twice the capacity of 2F-MS-Spring and uses double ADMs at ring sites (less then double the cost, extra redundancy)

  29. Outline • Introduction • Network Architecture • Classification and strategies • Mesh Survivable networks • Ring Survivable networks • Future Trends, concluding remarks

  30. Summary • Using Multi-Service Provisiong Platforms (MSPPs) following the development of compound NEs • Employing Multi-Technology Network Management (MTNM) systems • Tied relationship between NE capabilities and Network Architecture • Creating multi-service networks (Survivable Networks) • Offering a set of survivability policies • Network planning and network operation aspects
