4、 ii ITU-T Rec. J.213 (11/2006) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, oper

5、ating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, p

6、roduce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In

7、this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. i

8、nteroperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not sugges

9、t that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the eviden

10、ce, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may

11、 be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

22、 Recommendation J.125 (2004), Link privacy for cable modem implementations. 3 Definitions This Recommendation defines the following terms and uses those defined in ITU-T J.122. 3.1 bridged network: A set of IEEE 802 LANs interconnected by IEEE 802.1D MAC bridges. 3.2 compliant CM: A CM that implemen

23、ts this DOCSIS L2VPN Recommendation. 3.3 DOCSIS L2PDU: A Packet PDU of a DOCSIS MAC Frame, i.e., the L2PDU following a MAC Header with FC_TYPE=00. This definition means that a MAC Management message with FC_TYPE=11 is not considered to be a DOCSIS L2PDU, even though the form of a MAC Management Mess

24、age Header is the same form as an L2PDU. 3.4 DOCSIS MAC frame: The unit of transmission on the DOCSIS cable RF interface, consisting of a MAC Header and a (possibly null) Data PDU. The FC_TYPE field of MAC Header identifies the Data PDU as either a Packet PDU (FC_TYPE=00), or a MAC-specific PDU (FC_

25、TYPE=11). 3.5 flooding: An operation of an L2 bridge in which it replicates an L2PDU addressed to a group MAC or unlearned individual MAC address to all Bridge Ports other than the L2PDUs ingress port. 3.6 group MAC (GMAC) address: An IEEE 6-byte MAC address with the first transmitted bit (the group

26、 bit) set to “1“, indicating that the address refers to a group of MAC hosts. In the canonical representation of MAC addresses used for Ethernet transmission, the group bit is the least significant bit of the first byte. The all-1s broadcast MAC address is considered to be a GMAC address. 2 ITU-T Re

27、c. J.213 (11/2006) 3.7 individual MAC address: An IEEE 6-byte MAC address with the first transmitted bit (the group bit) set to “0“, indicating that the address refers to a single MAC host. For the Ethernet MAC addresses of DOCSIS, the group bit is the least significant bit of the first byte of the

28、MAC address. 3.8 L2 forwarder: A network element that forwards layer-2 packets from one L2 interface to another L2 interface. A layer-2 forwarder may operate in point-to-point or multipoint forwarding mode, i.e., forwarding between only two interfaces without learning; or multipoint, forwarding unic

29、ast-destined packets only to the interface from which a MAC address was learned. 3.9 L2 interface: A physical interface port or virtual circuit on which an L2PDU is transmitted. Physical L2 interface ports include an Ethernet NSI at a CMTS or the CMCI port at a CM. Virtual circuit L2 interfaces incl

30、ude a CMTS network system interface (NSI) pseudowire (PW) and a CMTS single-CM BPI security association. An L2 interface may or may not have an ifIndex assigned to it. 3.10 L2 virtual private network (L2VPN): A set of LANs and the L2 forwarders between them that enable hosts attached to the LANs to

31、communicate with layer-2 protocol data units (L2PDUs). A single L2VPN forwards L2PDUs based only on the destination MAC (DMAC) address of the L2PDU, transparent to any IP or other layer-3 address. A cable operator administrative domain supports multiple L2VPNs, one for each subscriber enterprise to

32、which transparent LAN service is offered. 3.11 L2VPN identifier: An octet string that uniquely identifies an L2VPN within a cable operator administrative domain, corresponding to a single subscriber enterprise. 3.12 L3 forwarder: A network element that forwards a layer-3 PDU from an ingress interfac

33、e to one or more egress interfaces. Also called a “router“. 3.13 L2 protocol data unit (L2PDU): A sequence of bytes consisting of a destination MAC address (DMAC), source MAC address (SMAC), (optional) tag header(s), EtherType/Length, L2 payload, and CRC. 3.14 learning: An operation of a layer-2 bri

34、dge by which it associates the source MAC (SMAC) address of an incoming L2PDU with the bridge port from which it arrived. 3.15 multipoint L2 forwarding: Operation of an L2 forwarder among multiple L2 networks that forwards individual MAC destined packets only to the interface from which a source MAC

35、 address was learned and that floods group MAC destined packets to all interfaces. 3.16 non-compliant CM: A CM that does not implement this DOCSIS L2VPN Recommendation. 3.17 point-to-point L2 forwarding: Operation of an L2 forwarder between only two L2 networks with no source MAC address learning. 3

36、.18 security association (SA): An association between the CMTS and a set of CMs in a MAC domain that enables encrypted communication between the CMTS and the CM set. A single CM SA is one with a single CM, and enables a private point-to-point L2 Network connection between the CMTS and the CPE LAN of

37、 that CM. A security association descriptor (SA-Descriptor) is a multiple-part message element defined in the DOCSIS baseline privacy ITU-T J.125 that includes a security association ID (SAID). 3.19 security association ID (SAID): A 14-bit identifier that appears in a BPI extended header (BPI-EH) of

38、 a DOCSIS PDU packet to identify the key used to encrypt the packet. 3.20 tag header: A 16-bit tag protocol ID (0x8100) followed by a 16-bit tag control field. The tag control field consists of a 3-bit User Priority field, a 1-bit Canonical Format Indicator, and a 12-bit VLAN ID IEEE 802.1Q. ITU-T R

39、ec. J.213 (11/2006) 3 3.21 transparent LAN service (TLS): A service offering of a cable operator that implements a private L2VPN among the CPE networks of the CMs of a single subscriber enterprise. 3.22 virtual LAN (VLAN): A subset of the LANs of an IEEE 802.1 bridged network to which a VLAN identif

40、ier (VLAN ID) is assigned. An L2VPN may consist of several VLANs, each with different VLAN IDs, and even of VLANs on different IEEE 802.1 bridged networks with the same VLAN ID. 3.23 virtual LAN identifier (VLAN ID): An IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID is a 12-bit number that identifies a VLAN within an IEEE 802

41、.1 bridged network. An IEEE 802.1ah stacked VLAN ID consists of an outer service 12-bit VLAN ID and an inner customer 12-bit VLAN ID. 3.24 provisioning L2VPN: An L2VPN for the pre-registration traffic of DHCP, TOD, and TFTP that provisions eCMs and eSAFE hosts. May be combined with a management L2VP

42、N. 3.25 management L2VPN: An L2VPN for the post-registration SNMP traffic to eCM or eSAFE devices. May be combined with a provisioning L2VPN. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: BPI Baseline Privacy Interface BSoD Business Services over DOC

45、 4 ITU-T Rec. J.213 (11/2006) 5 Conventions 5.1 Requirements Throughout this Recommendation, the words that are used to define the significance of particular requirements are capitalized. These words are: MUST This word means that the item is an absolute requirement of this Recommendation. MUST NOT

46、This phrase means that the item is an absolute prohibition of this Recommendation. SHOULD This word means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this item, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before choosing a different cour

47、se. SHOULD NOT This phrase means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances when the listed behaviour is acceptable or even useful, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before implementing any behaviour described with this label. MAY This

48、word means that this item is truly optional. One vendor may choose to include the item because a particular marketplace requires it or because it enhances the product, for example; another vendor may omit the same item. Some normative statements require a CM or CMTS to silently ignore a condition wh

49、ich may be defined in future Recommendations. A requirement to silently ignore a condition means that the CM or CMTS: MAY increment a vendor-specific statistic; MUST NOT generate a log message; and MUST otherwise ignore the condition and continue operation as if the condition did not occur. 5.2 Conformance A DOCSIS CMTS that claims to implement the DOCSIS L2VPN feature MUST implement the normative provisions of this Recommendation. A DOCSIS CM that claims conformance for DOCSIS L2VPN feature MUST implement the normative requirements of this Recommen
