Basic Concepts of ASON

The basic concepts related to the ASON are the three planes, label switched path (LSP) and rerouting. As shown in Figure 1, the ASON has three planes: the control plane, the transport plane, and the management plane. Figure 1 Three planes of the ASON

ASON
ASON is a new generation optical network that has the following features: Customers launch a service request dynamically. Routes are selected automatically. Signaling controls the creation and removal of connections. Network connections are automatically and dynamically completed. Switching and transmission are integrated into one system.

Control Plane
The control plane consists of a group of communication entities. It is responsible for the calling control and connection control, including automatic setting up, releasing, monitoring, and maintaining connections. The control plane automatically restores the failed connections through signaling exchange.

Transport Plane
The traditional WDM network is the transport plane. It transmits optical signals, configures crossconnection and protection switching for optical signals, and guarantees the reliability of all optical signals.

Management Plane
The management plane is a complement to the control plane. It maintains the transport plane, the control plane and the whole system. It can configure end to end service. Its functions include performance management, fault management, configuration management and security management.

LSP
Label switched path (LSP) is the path ASON services pass through. In an ASON, to create ASON services is to create LSPs. On U2000, LSP is also called ASON Trail.

WDM ASON Trail


WDM ASON Trail is classified into WDM ASON OCh Trail and WDM ASON ODUk (k = 0, 1, 2, 3) Trail. See Figure 2. NOTE: OptiX OSN 8800 series support WDM ASON ODU0 Trail. The WDM ASON OCh trail can be created when there are sufficient OCh TE link resources. The WDM ASON ODUk trail can be created when there are sufficient TE link resources where the payload type is ODUk. Figure 2 WDM ASON Trail

Rerouting
Rerouting is a means of resuming services. When an LSP is disconnected, the source node queries and finds the best route to resume services. Then, the initial node creates an LSP to transmit the service. After creating an LSP, the source node deletes the original LSP. CAUTION: After a revertive service reroutes, the original LSP is not deleted. NOTE: For more information on service restoration, refer to ASON Network Protection and Restoration.

Rerouting Lockout
In some cases, rerouting is not required after failure in LSP. Then you need to set rerouting lockout.

Rerouting Policy
Diamond, gold and silver services all support the following four rerouting polices: Use existing trails whenever possible During rerouting, the route of the new LSP overlaps the original route whenever possible. This policy helps save network resources. When bandwidth resources are insufficient, the service is more likely to reroute successfully.

Do not use existing trails whenever possible During rerouting, the route of the new LSP is separated from the original route whenever possible. This policy is applicable to a network with sufficient link resources. No rerouting constraint During rerouting, the no rerouting constraint is computed for the new LSP. Whether the new or old route resources are utilized again is not considered. This policy chooses a route with the minimum cost as the new route after rerouting according to network conditions. Use simulated section restoration During rerouting, the services must reuse the original routes without involving faulty spans. Endto-end rerouting is enabled only when rerouting on the faulty spans fails, and thus service route can be controlled and managed more easily.

Crankback Mechanism
The crankback mechanism during rerouting, optimization, and creation of the wavelength/sub-wavelength LSP is supported. It takes a certain time to spread network routing information. When rerouting is performed, the source node may use the outdated network status information to calculate the trail. Therefore, the selected route may be unavailable, resulting in a rerouting failure. The ASON software supports the crankback rerouting mechanism. When setting up connections according to the calculated trail, the ASON software informs the source node of the information related to the faulty network nodes or links if the connection setup process is baffled due to insufficient network resources or network faults. In this case, the source node recalculates a trail that meets the constraint conditions but does not traverse the obstacle node and then establishes the connections for the calculated trail. This effectively restores a service by means of rerouting.

SLA
The ASON network can provide services of different QoS to different clients. The service level agreement (SLA) is used to classify services according to the service protection, as listed in Table 1. The rerouting time is related to the device type, interrupted service, network resource and setting. The data are listed as follows only for reference.

Diamond WDM ASON Trail


Diamond WDM ASON trails have the best protection ability. When there are enough resources in the network, diamond WDM ASON trails provide a permanent 1+1 protection. The diamond WDM ASON trails are classified into ODU0, ODU1 trail, ODU2 trail and ODU3 trail. Diamond services are applicable to voice and data services, VIP private line, such as banking, security and aviation. A diamond service is a service with 1+1 protection from the source node to the sink node. It is also called a 1+1 service. For a diamond service, there are two different LSPs available between the source node and the sink node. The two LSPs should be as separate as possible. One is the working LSP and the other is the protection LSP. The same service is transmitted to the working LSP and the protection LSP at the same time. If the working LSP is normal, the sink node receives the service from the working LSP; otherwise, from the protection LSP.

Figure 1 shows a diamond service. Figure 1 Diamond Services

There are three types of diamond services. Permanent 1+1 diamond service: rerouting is triggered once an LSP fails. Rerouting 1+1 diamond service: rerouting is triggered only when both LSPs fail. Non-rerouting diamond service: rerouting is never triggered.

Table 1 lists the attributes of the permanent 1+1 diamond service. Table 2 lists the attributes of the rerouting 1+1 diamond service. Table 3 lists the attributes of the non-rerouting 1+1 diamond service.

During creation, diamond services generate the services that have the traditional WDM 1+1 protection attribute at the same time. Different ASON trails support different protection schemes. For WDM ASON OCh trail: supports intra-board 1+1 protection. (The protection schemes are OTU intra-board dual-feed and OTU+OLP/DCP dual-feed.) For WDM ASON ODUk trail: supports ODUk SNCP If the resources are sufficient, two LSPs are always available for a permanent 1+1 diamond service. One is the active LSP and the other is the standby LSP. If the resources are not sufficient, one LSP can still be reserved for

Silver WDM ASON Trail


Silver WDM ASON trail, including WDM ASON OCh trails, ODU0 trails, ODU1 trails, ODU2 trails and ODU3 trails, the revertive time is several seconds. The silver level service is suitable for those data or internet services that have low real-time requirement. Silver services are also called rerouting services. When an LSP failure, the ASON triggers rerouting to restore the service. If there are not enough resources, service may be interrupted. As shown in Figure 1, A-B-G-H-I is a silver service trail. If the fiber between B and G is cut, the ASON triggers rerouting from A to create an LSP that does not pass the cut fiber. Hence, services are protected. Figure 1 A silver service

ASON Protocol
Huawei OptiX GCP applies the link management protocol (LMP) as the link management protocol, OSPFTE as the routing protocol, and RSVP-TE as the signaling protocol. The following sections describe the functions of these protocols in an ASON network.

LMP
The LMP performs the following functions in an ASON network. Creating and maintaining the control channels between adjacent nodes. The following is the procedure of creating control channels. See Figure 1. When two adjacent ASON NEs start up, the LMP uses the OTN overheads or the DCC channels of the OSC to transmit messages. Node 1 transmits messages to Node 2, which performs the check to the received messages. If the messages pass the check, Node 2 returns messages to Node 1. If the messages do not pass the check, Node 2 returns a message to Node 1, indicating that the messages fail to pass the check. In this way, Node 2 waits for another check. Hence, a control channel between the two adjacent nodes is created. After the control channel is created, the two nodes store the information about the control channel and identify the control channel according to the ID.

Figure 1 Creating control channels

Verifying component links and TE links. The following is the procedure of verifying TE Links. After the control channels are configured, an attribute consistency check is performed to the TE links to see if the information is identical at both ends of dynamically discovered or manually configured TE links. If the check succeeds, the OSPF protocol is used to flood the information of the TE links to the entire network.

As shown in Figure 2, Node 1 transmits messages and the content to be checked to Node 2, which checks if it has the same information and returns the check result to Node 1.

Figure 2 Verifying TE links

OSPF-TE
The control plane of Huawei OptiX GCP applies the OSPF-TE, which is an extended protocol for OSPF, and performs the following functions. Creates neighbor relations. Creates and maintains control links. Floods and collects the information about the control links on the control plane. According to the information, the protocol then generates the information about the routes that are required for forwarding messages on the control plane. Floods and collects the information about the TE links on the transport plane. The protocol then generates the information about the network service topologies for service trail computation.

RSVP-TE
The RSVP-TE is a protocol for resource reservation. It is a type of signaling. In terms of traffic engineering, the RSVP is extended to RSVP-TE. The RSVP-TE mainly supports the following functions: LSP creation LSP deletion LSP attribute modification LSP rerouting LSP trail optimization

Protocol Encryption
An external entity may modify the OSPF-TE protocol packets of the network, counterfeit a node of this network and transmit packets, or receive the packets transmitted by nodes in the network and repeat the attack. To prevent these network insecurities, the ASON provides the function to encrypt protocols. In an ASON domain, the RSVP and OSPF-TE protocols are encrypted for authentication. The RSVP authentication is configured for nodes and the OSPF-TE authentication for interconnected interfaces (slots and optical interfaces). The authentication can be non-authentication, plain text authentication or MD5 authentication. Non-authentication: No authentication is required in this mode.

Plain text authentication: To verify the preset password. The authentication code must be a character string with no more than eight characters. MD5 authentication: To verify the information that is encrypted by the MD5 algorithm. The authentication code must be a character string with no more than 64 characters.

The check succeeds only when the authentication modes and passwords of adjacent nodes are the same. Parent topic: ASON Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
