17、T Rec. Y.1411 (02/2003) Introduction There is a need to focus on required functions of network interworking between ATM networks and MPLS networks specifically the user plane interworking mechanisms and procedures. One of the key aspects of network interworking is to provide network support for ATM

18、services during the evolution of networks. ITU-T Rec. Y.1411 (02/2003) 1 ITU-T Recommendation Y.1411 ATM-MPLS network interworking Cell mode user plane interworking 1 Scope This Recommendation focuses on required functions for network interworking between ATM and MPLS, specifically the user plane in

19、terworking mechanisms and procedures for cell mode transport. In particular it specifies a list of requirements, interworking scenarios and interworking encapsulation format and semantics for ATM-MPLS cell mode network interworking. This Recommendation enables transport of ATM Permanent Virtual Conn

20、ections (PVC) or Switched Virtual Connections (SVC) over an MPLS network. The encapsulation allows ATM Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) or Virtual Path Connections (VPCs) to be carried within MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs). The scope includes support of all AAL types as well as OAM and RM cells,

21、 and the ability to encapsulate one or multiple ATM cells in a single MPLS Frame. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below.

The one-to-one mode specifies an encapsulation method that maps one ATM VCC or one ATM

26、 VPC to one interworking LSP. For VCCs, the VPI/VCI is not included. For VPCs, the VPI is not included. Cells from one VCC or one VPC may be concatenated. The N-to-one mode specifies an encapsulation method that maps one or more ATM VCCs (or one or more ATM VPCs) to one interworking LSP. For both VC

27、Cs and VPCs, the VPI/VCI is always included. Cells from one or more VCCs (or one or more VPCs) may be concatenated. This Recommendation defines only the encapsulation of ATM cells that use the NNI format 15. The encapsulation of ATM cells that use the UNI format which includes the GFC field is for f

28、urther study. 6 General requirements 6.1 User plane requirements For transparent transfer of ATM-related services in the transfer (user) plane, the following items are required: a) the ability to multiplex multiple ATM connections (i.e., VPCs and/or VCCs) into interworking LSPs; b) support for the t

29、raffic contracts and the QoS commitments made to the ATM connections; c) the ability to transparently carry all AAL types; d) the ability to transparently carry all OAM cells, including the support for proper operation of OAM PM cells; e) transport of Resource Management (RM) cells; ITU-T Rec. Y.141

30、1 (02/2003) 5 f) transport of Cell Loss Priority (CLP) indication and Payload Type Indication (PTI) information from the ATM cell header; g) the ability to encapsulate an ATM single cell or concatenated ATM cells into one MPLS frame; h) maintaining sequence integrity for all VCCs and VPCs between th

31、e IWFs; i) support of ATM point-to-point and ATM point-to-multipoint connection; j) support of unidirectional ATM connection; k) support of bidirectional point-to-point ATM connections with symmetric or asymmetric bandwidth.

34、or one or more bidirectional connections per interworking LSP. Mechanisms are to be defined; c) operation in one-to-one or N-to-one mode; d) maximum number of concatenated cells for a given interworking LSP between IWFs; e) indication of cell encapsulation modes as either single or concatenated; f)

35、presence of common interworking indicators field; g) support of the connection types Switched Virtual Connection (SVC) and Soft Permanent Virtual Connection (SPVC); 6 ITU-T Rec. Y.1411 (02/2003) h) support of ATM point-to-point and ATM point-to-multipoint connections; i) support of bidirectional ATM

36、 point-to-point connections with symmetric or asymmetric bandwidth; j) the transparent transport of ATM signalling protocols (e.g., DSS2, B-ISUP, ATM-F UNI, ATM-F PNNI, ATM-F AINI), ATM routing protocols (e.g., ATM-F PNNI) and ATM management protocols (e.g., ATM-F ILMI), which control the ATM connec

37、tions across the MPLS, network; k) the ability to control the MPLS interworking LSPs via ATM control protocols by the IWFs for ATM SVCs and ATM Soft-PVCs; l) the control of MPLS Transport LSPs or interworking LSPs via MPLS control protocols by the IWFs; m) a mechanism to associate the two transport

38、LSPs, one for each direction, to act as a logical ATM port to ATM signalling and routing, capable of carrying ATM connections between two IWFs. 6.3 Management plane aspects ATM OAM cells carry performance, defect, and protection switching information for VCCs and VPCs on an end-to-end and per segmen

39、t basis to support the ATM management plane 3, 4 and 5. OAM functionality in MPLS networks and OAM mechanism for MPLS networks can be found in ITU-T Recs Y.1710 6 and Y.1711 7. For transparent transfer of ATM-related services in the management plane, the interworking function should support transpar

40、ent transfer or mapping of performance, defect, and protection switching information between MPLS OAM flows and ATM OAM cells. As a minimum, the interworking function shall transfer ATM OAM information through the MPLS core network by encapsulating OAM cells in MPLS packets. The encapsulation mechan

41、ism supports the ordered delivery of OAM cells in respect to cell flow of that connection. Where end-to-end OAM is required, the interworking function may have to correlate the MPLS OAM information with the ATM OAM. This aspect of OAM interworking with MPLS is outside the scope of this Recommendatio

44、TM Transfer Capabilities (ATC) 8, 9 and Quality of Service (QoS) classes 10 are defined. A combination of an ATC and an associated QoS class is intended to support an ATM layer service model. When a transport LSP is used to carry multiple ATM connections with different combinations of ATC and QoS cl

45、asses, the transport LSP shall be capable of providing the required QoS for all ATM connections. In a MPLS network that does not support QoS differentiation on a per packet basis, the LSP shall meet the most stringent QoS requirements of the ATM connections transported by the LSP. 6.4.1 Use of Diffe

46、rentiated Services for ATM-MPLS interworking If the MPLS network supports Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Behaviour Aggregates defined in 16, MPLS packets can be treated with different priorities on a Per Hop Behaviour (PHB). In this case, two different types of LSPs are defined 11, which can bot

47、h be used for the transport LSP: Label-Only-Inferred-PSC LSPs (L-LSP); EXP-Inferred-PSC LSPs (E-LSP). If a L-LSP is used as a transport LSP, the PHB scheduling class (PSC) 17 of each packet is inferred from the label without any other information (e.g., regardless of the EXP field value). In that ca

48、se, the LSP shall meet the most stringent QoS requirements of the ATM connections transported by the LSP. If an E-LSP is used as a transport LSP, the EXP field of the transport label is used to determine the PHB to be applied to each packet, i.e., different packets in one LSP may receive a different

49、 QoS. The 3-bit EXP field of the transport label can represent eight different combinations of Per Hop Behaviour (PHB) and drop precedence levels. The mapping of the PHB to EXP fields is either explicitly signalled at label set-up or relies on a pre-configured mapping. The mapping between ATM QoS classes and MPLS PHB is for further study. 8 ITU-T Rec.
