Some calculations •

1GB quota = 7.5kbps in busy hour per user (10% of traffic in busy hour)

•

10GB = 75kbps in busy hour per user

•

200 users per NodeB – 15Mbps sustain throughput

•

7 NodeBs – Gigabit Ethernet needed (more than 100 Mbps)

•

75 NodeBs 10GE needed (more than 1 Gbps)

•

Busy eNodeBs can generate up to 40 Gbps

Specifics of the mobile operators transport network •

Network provider is also the customer of the network, therefore he needs to take care of all services: •IP Routing •Own O SLAs SLA (O&M, (O&M QoS Q S etc.) t ) •Multicast •Security Security •ATM and TDM services for 2G and legacy 3G

•

Layer 2 and Layer 3 services are necessary

•

This leads to optimized design where for example the CE and the PE functions may be combined 16

Contradicting Characteristics of RAN gg g Aggregation •

Scaling of services •Number of VPNs limited •Number of VLANs and MACs limited •Low number of Queues needed despite H-QoS

•

Scaling of ports •Low number of end devices on cellsite •Limited number of rings in aggregation and pre-aggregation

•

But, still needed •High bandwidth needed •Carrier grade architecture (reliability, redundancy etc.) •Hardened devices

All-IP RAN Design Conclusions •

The Access is usually native Ethernet with REP if possible

•

Aggregation is either native Ethernet or MPLS, whereby: y •The question mostly is, where the line between MPLS and Ethernet should be made •MPLS is more flexible and multiservice •Ethernet is more cost efficient

•

Any to any connectivity between NodeBs will be more Any-to-any important in LTE than now

•

Layer 2 or Layer 3 decision depends on operators preference and operational procedures 24

•

Supporting higher number of subscribers Increasing number of VLANs, MAC addresses per L2 domain

Resilient Ethernet Protocol A segment Protocol REP Segment

Edge Port

Link Failure

Blocked Open Alternate Port

•

A REP segment is a chain of ports connected to each other and configured with a segment ID.

•

One switch can have only two ports belonging to the same segment.

•

REP guarantees there is no connectivity between two edge ports on a segment. t

•

When all interfaces in the segment are UP, the alternate port is blocking

•

When a link Wh li k or switch it h ffailure il occurs on the segment, then blocked port goes forwarding

REP Benefits • Fast and predictable convergence – Convergence time: 50 to 250ms – Fast failure notification even in large rings with high number of node – Manual configuration g for predictable p failover behavior

•Co-existence with Spanning Tree – STP is deactivated on REP interfaces – Limit the scope of Spanning tree – Topology Changes Notification from REP to STP

• Optimal bandwidth utilization – VLAN Load L d balancing b l i

• Easy to configure and troubleshoot – Topology archiving for easy troubleshooting – Known fixed topology – Simple mechanism to setup the Alternate port (blocking) 45 Presentation_ID
