  1. Workshop Benchmarking Carrier Ethernet TechnologiesKrakow, PolandApril 30 2008 Keynote Speech: Gilles Thouénon (Orange Labs), Nicolas Le Sauze (Alcatel-Lucent France/Bell Labs) Dimitri Papadimitriou (Alcatel-Lucent Bell NV)

  2. Towards a Packet Transport Network • SDH and its optical layer is the most widespread transport technology • TDM, circuit based • Carriers extended "smoothly" their circuit networks with packet transport capabilities • 802.3, ESCON, FC… interfaces for link connection • SDH next gen for packet services to circuit network adaptation • bridges features for any-to-any connections • Carriers have a large panel of transport solutions • current solutions : IP/MPLS, bridged Ethernet • new trend : provide tunneling… …with PBB-TE, PVT, T-MPLS… • Connection Oriented wave to "carry" Carrier Ethernet services • Similarly to circuit (SDH) and packet (MPLS) technologies

  3. Introducing "Carrier Ethernet" • Terminology invented by the MEF to qualify Ethernet Services • E-Line (P2P EVC between 2 UNIs) • E-LAN (MP2MP EVC between >2 UNIs) • E-tree (P2MP EVC between root and spoke UNIs) • These services can be delivered over different types of networks (a.k.a "Transport network") • Native Ethernet based (802.1, 802.3) • Existing Packet transport networks (IP/MPLS) • Existing TDM transport networks (SDH-NG, OTN) • Misuse of language of "Carrier Ethernet" that drifted towards marketing connotations • People use to also include all technologies used to support Carrier Ethernet services • Carrier Ethernet certification program performed by Iometrix

  4. "Carrier Ethernet" Services and Transport IMS Legacy TDM services L3 VPN Flat IP connectivity Mobile Backhauling L2 VPN Residential Triple Play bundle services Wholesale Service layer Carrier Ethernet Services Ethernet VPN TDM: SDH-NG Packet: IP/MPLS, Eth Bridging + evolutions Transport network layer Physical layer (framing) WDM, 802.3 Scope under consideration: Packet based solutions Adaptation function Connection function

  5. Ethernet the granddaddy technology

  6. TIGER Consortium: Who are we? Fairly balance consortium • 1 major operator • 3 major equipment vendors • 2 SMEs involved in ICT business • 2 research institutes • 2 universities Orange – FT group

  7. TIGER Project Objectives • Propose solutions for a better coordination between IP and Ethernet technologies to address the Metro Ethernet growing market • Assess the benefits of the proposed solutions through Evaluation & Benchmarking studies with regard to existing technologies on the market

  8. TIGER Challenges Large number of proposals of Carrier Grade metro solutions on the market & in various standard bodies! Two major groups: Ethernet centric or IP/MPLS centric solutions PW/MPLS PVT/VLAN-XC Operators • Why do I need to change the legacy ? • Which one is the most adapted for my services? • How do i migrate towards the TIGER technology? MPLS Transport PBB-TE PBB Vendors • What should I develop? • What will be my differentiators ?

  9. Goals of the Workshop • Bring together Experts of the different Carrier Ethernet services and transport technologies • Ethernet-centric: SPB, GELS, PBB-TE, etc. • MPLS-centric: PW/MPLS, MPLS transport • Starting from • Discuss various alternatives and confront them functionally • Provide performance benchmarking results obtained for these technologies • Open the floor for Scientific & Technical debate

  10. Structure of the Workshop • Two tracks each divided into two sessions • Track 1: functional benchmarking • Two morning sessions (MI and MII) dedicated to functional benchmarking results per technology; • Track 2: performance benchmarking • The two afternoon sessions (Scientific and Technical Results AI and AII) dedicated to the performance benchmarking results per technology • - All sessions are organized 15/20 minutes presentation followed by 15 minutes of topical discussion - • After afternoon sessions, an open Scientific and Technical Debate (1 hour) will confront the scientific & technical results obtained by the workshop participants

  11. Acknowledgements • EURO-NF Conference Organizers to kindly host and offer accommodations to this workshop and to its meeting participants
