Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge H. Hao Internet-Draft Y. Ma Intended status: Standards Track W. Cao Expires: May 15, 2012 J. Yu ZTE Corporation November 12, 2011 ICCP extension for the MSP application draft-hao-pwe3-iccp-extension-for-msp-01 Abstract This document presents some extensions on the Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol(ICCP) to support the application of multiplex section protection(MSP) that is described in the G.841. Linear multiplex section protection(MSP) is used to protect the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) network. In the case of inter-chassis linear MSP, it needs a mechanism to synchronize the state and configuration data between the two chassis. The ICCP is appropriate for that.

Expires May 15, 2012 [Page 2] Internet-Draft ICCP extension for the MSP application November 2011 1. Introduction In the past, the SDH network was used very popular. With the development of network, the network is transferring from SDH network to Packet Transport/Switch network.The SDH network element is replaced by packet transport/Switch network element, but the legacy Service Router or Base Station Controller with SDH interface would be reserved. Therefore, sometimes the SDH and Packet Transport/Switch equipments are co-existed in the mobile backhaul network at the same time, to achieve a smooth migration from SDH to Packet Transport/ Switch network that will be a long time. The figure 1 describes the co-existed network. The co-existed network needs a method to protect the SDH link. Linear multiplex section protection switching is popular used in the SDH network. It can be a dedicated or shared protection mechanism. It protects the multiplex section layer, and applies to point-to- point physical networks. One protection multiplex section can be used to protect the normal traffic from a number(N) of working multiplex sections. It can operate in a unidirectional or bidirectional manner, and it can carry extra traffic on the protection multiplex section in bidirectional operation. It is used widely in the SDH networks. MSP has been extended to support inter-chassis linear MSP. It means that the MSP can be used for point-to-multipoint physical networks. The two chassis form a inter-chassis protect group. They runs the protocol to protect the work link and protect link as a chassis running. So the state and configuration data need to be synchronized between the two chassises. As defined in the [I-D:ietf-pwe3-iccp], it specifies an inter-chassis communication protocol that enables Provider Edge (PE) device redundancy for Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) applications. The protocol runs within a set of two or more PEs, forming a redundancy group(RG), for the purpose of synchronizing data amongst the systems. In the ICCP draft, it specifies the ICCP's TLVs for the Pseudowire Redundancy application and the multi-chassis LACP(mLACP) application. Hao, et al.

It includes the SDH link and PW. The SDH network is a point-to-multipoint physical network.Figure 2 describes the multi-chassis MSP reference model. The node PE1 and PE2 form an inter-chassis linear multiplex section protection group A. The node CE established a multiplex section protection group B. The links between PE1 and CE, PE2 and CE are SDH links. The link PE1-CE is called work link and the link PE2-CE is called protect link. When the node PE1 finds the link to CE is failed, the node PE1 should transfer the state of link to the PE2 by the synchronize link (PE1 to PE2) for running the protocol of MSP. The node PE2 receives the link fault message, and then it will switch services to the protect link and notify the result to the group B by K value defined in G.841. After that, it send the result to the node PE1 to synchronize the state of group A by the synchronize link. When the node PE1 is configured the switch command,also transfer the command to the PE2 by the synchronize link for running the protocol of MSP. Therefore a mechanism is required to insure the synchronization between the members of the protect group A. 3.2. ICCP extension precondition ICCP is specified in the [I-D:ietf-pwe3-iccp]. It allows synchronization of state and configuration data between a set of two or more PEs forming a RG. ICCP provides reliable message transport and in-order delivery between nodes in a RG with secure authentication mechanisms built into the protocol. Furthermore, it provides a common set of procedures by which applications on one PE can connect to their counterparts on another PE, for purpose of inter-chassis communication in the context of a given RG. The Hao, et al. Expires May 15, 2012 [Page 5] Internet-Draft ICCP extension for the MSP application November 2011 prerequisite for establishing an application connection is to have an operational ICCP RG connection between the two endpoints. When an application has information to transfer over ICCP, it triggers the transmission of an Application Data message.For the moment, the draft has specified the ICCP's TLVs for the Pseudowire Redundancy application and the multi-chassis LACP(mLACP) application. The PEs in an RG offer multi-homed connectivity to either individual devices or entire networks. The generic multi-chassis redundancy model is depicted in the [I-D:ietf-pwe3-iccp]. When the access network is SDH network, it is just the applied field of inter-chassis linear MSP. But the ICCP draft does not specify ICCP's TLVs for the MSP application. As mentioned in the preceding part of this document, the ICCP is appropriate for the inter-chassis linear MSP. The ICCP just need to extend its TLVs for the MSP application. Then it will be achieved the synchronization between the members of the protect group. 4. ICCP TLV extensions for MSP The ICCP can achieve the synchronization of state and configuration data between the members of the inter-chassis linear MSP group by extending the TLVs.Now we will expatiate the detail of MSP application TLV's format. 4.1.

Otherwise, set to 0. - S Bit Set to 1 if request is for running state data. Otherwise, set to 0. - Request Type 14-bits specifying the request type, encoded as follows: 0x00 Request Data for specified protect group 0x01 Request Data for all groups in specified service(s) - ROID Defined in the [I-D:ietf-pwe3-iccp].Eight octets, uniquely identifying the protect group.

MSP Synchronization Data TLV The meaning of MSP Synchronization Data TLV is similar with the PW- RED Synchronization Data TLV defined in the [I-D:ietf-pwe3-iccp]. It is used in the RG Application Data message. A pair of these TLVs is used by a device to delimit a set of TLVs that are sent in response to a MSP Synchronization Request TLV. The delimiting TLVs signal the start and end of the synchronization data, and associate the response with its corresponding request via the Request Number field. The MSP Synchronization Data TLVs are also used for unsolicited advertisements of complete MSP configuration and operational state data. In this case, the Request Number field MUST be set to 0.
