June, 22-24 Alessandro D’Alessandro MPLS World Congress 2005 Paris, 17 February 2005 Contents OIF overview OIF World interoperability demo An example of local demo: Telecom Italia Lab experience in Torino Conclusions Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Overview Launched in April 1998 with the main objective to foster the development of low-cost and scalable internet using optical technologies The only industry group bringing together professionals from the data and optical communities Open forum: 130+ member companies • Carriers Component and systems vendors • Testing and software companies OIF Mission To foster the development and deployment of interoperable products and services for data switching and routing using optical networking technologies www.oiforum.com • Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Organization and main focus Architecture and Signaling Physical Layer User Group Carrier Interoperability OAM&P Physical and Link Layer Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Organization and main focus Architecture and Signaling Physical Layer User Group Carrier Interoperability OAM&P Physical and Link Layer Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Outputs Implementation agreements, using • • • Carrier & user group’s requirements Existing standards and specifications when available Newly developed solutions when necessary Interoperability demonstrations, to validate industry acceptance and maturity of implementation agreements Testing methods, to evaluate interoperability that will help in the accelerated development of interoperable products and networks Inputs to other standardization bodies and fora Contents OIF overview OIF World interoperability demo An example of local demo : Telecom Italia Lab experience in Turin Conclusions OIF World Interoperability Demo 2004 (I) Interop Area 1: Fast, automatic and dynamic end-to-end optical multi-vendor connection management Demo objectives • Dynamic resource allocation by a standardized control plane • Automatic provisioning by client equipment via UNI interface (Switched connections) or by management system (Soft permanent connections) • Automatic multi-domain provisioning via E-NNI interface Carrier perspectives and benefits • Enabling of advanced, customizable services • Enabling of multi-vendor interoperability • Simplification of node/network management • Effort and time reduction for end-to-end service provisioning OIF World Interoperability Demo 2004 (II) Interop Area 2: Efficient Ethernet transport over SONET/SDH (GFP, VCAT, LCAS) Demo objectives • Generic Framing Protocol: mapping Ethernet over SONET/SDH • Virtual Concatenation: flexible bandwidth allocation and diverse paths • Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme: hitless bandwidth modification Carrier perspective and benefits • Efficient use of existing SDH infrastructure for offering Ethernet data services • Possibility of advanced Ethernet connectivity • Packet data with SONET/SDH grade reliability and multiple QoS A distributed real time demo A distributed real time demo Supercomm 2004 Interop Demo Team Project organization Management Centralized organization Activities coordination Last minute-changes Marketing and PR Information Technology Distributed organization Distributed organization Pre-fixed check points Technical staff Distributed organization HW & SW issues Communication Tools Contents OIF overview OIF World interoperability demo An example of local demo : Telecom Italia Lab experience in Turin Conclusions Demonstration setup Mapping of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Ethernet/SDH Metro 10 Mbit/s SONET/SDH Ethernet/SDH Metro SONET/SDH Dynamic setup of backbone connection Router IP/ASON Backbone Router UNI 1.0 R2 SONET/SDH SONET/SDH 20 Mbit/s UNI 1.0 R2 SONET/SDH SONET/SDH E-NNI 1.0 Protection and recovery demonstration LCAS protection and recovery demonstration Contents OIF overview OIF World interoperability demo An example of local demo : Telecom Italia Lab experience in Turin Conclusions Significance of the Achievement First time ever in the industry to conduct world wide multi-carrier interoperability testing - Carrier’s close involvement and strong support is a key milestone towards deployment of automatically switched optical networks - Lays the foundation for future testing methodology and demo infrastructure Successful control plane and data plane integration and interworking - validates OIF’s Implementation Agreements and ITUs Standards - demonstrates that standardization clearly facilitates multi-vendor, world-wide interoperability Successful validation of multi vendor interoperability on Ethernet service adaptation (GFP, VCAT/LCAS) - Demonstrates the possibility to offer new services over legacy network in a cost-effective way Conclusions Large scale, world wide OIF interoperability testing is progressively validating the maturity of NG-SDH and IP over Optical technologies The strong presence of Carriers and Vendors in OIF ensures proper setting of requirements for next generation IP/optical networks with advanced control plane The valuable effort of Carriers and Vendors in OIF is accelerating the development of easy-to-deploy solutions Further cooperative effort is needed by all Standardization Bodies to make available completely standardized solutions http://www.oiforum.com/public/supercomm_2004.html
