It describes the encapsulation format. Source Recommendation ITU-T Y.1418 was approved on 29 February 2008 by ITU-T Study Group 13 (2005

ITU-T Y.1418 (02/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field

9、 of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizin

10、g 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, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered b

11、y 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 this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate b

12、oth 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. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when

13、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 suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

ITU-T Y.1418 (02/2008) 1 Recommendation ITU-T Y.1418 Pseudowire layer network 1 Scope This Recommendation describes a layer network that facilitates the transport of arbitrary client services over arbitrary server networks. A

21、n example of client services include ATM, frame relay, low-rate TDM, and Ethernet. An example of server layers include MPLS, Ethernet, IP, and PDH/SDH/OTN using the generic framing procedure (GFP). The layer network is called the pseudowire (PW) layer and is suitable for both single and multi-segmen

This Recommendation is not intended to redefine the behaviour of the protocols specified in the normatively referenced IETF RFCs. In the event of discrepancies be

23、tween protocols in this Recommendation and the normative RFCs, the IETF RFC is the authoritative source. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

When either the

36、client network, or server network, or both, are connectionless networks, similar diagrams with the necessary changes apply. In addition, when discussing the encapsulation of a client protocol data unit (PDU) into a server packet in this Recommendation, the pre-pending of server-layer headers will be

37、 consistently mentioned. It is recognized that certain server layer encapsulations additionally involve appending of trailers. 6 Multi-segment pseudowires 6.1 Reference architecture for multi-segment transport using pseudowires Initial work on client-server interworking focused on client information

38、 being carried over a single-server network. However, there are many scenarios where it is desirable to traverse multiple concatenated server networks, and in order to facilitate this interworking, the pseudowire (PW) layer network is introduced. Figure 6-1 depicts the general topology for multi-seg

39、ment pseudowires, depicting the native service, transport segments, the multi-segment path, the terminating and stitching IWFs. The native service is the client of the PW layer network. Note that pseudowire is an implementation of common adaptation layer (CAL) as described in ITU-T Y.1401. Figure 6-

40、1 Multi-segment interworking topology In this Recommendation, for the multi-segment case, the PW label may be modified by the interworking function. This is in contrast to the single segment cases. The generic adaptation specified by the PW layer network is used for transport over a single transport

41、 segment when there is no well-established adaptation, and whenever multi-segment transport is required. Use of the PW layer is not universally recommended, as many client and server networks have well-established efficient adaptations. 4 Rec. ITU-T Y.1418 (02/2008) Multi-segment transport is the tr

42、ansport of a native service over the concatenation of multiple server networks. One case where multi-segment transport must be employed involves native service end-points connected to server networks based on differing technologies. Present interworking Recommendations are specific to the server net

43、work technology, and thus the client information can not be carried across such concatenated server networks without client-specific processing between each pair of server networks. Figure 6-2 is a functional diagram, following the diagrammatic conventions of ITU-T G.805, for a case where it is requ

44、ired to traverse three server networks of different technologies. nativePW / clientPW_TTserver1 / PWserver1_TTserver1T-IWFS-IWFnativeS-IWFPW / clientserver3 / PWserver3server3_TTPW_TTT-IWFserver2PW trailFigure 6-2 Functional diagram for multi-segment interworking for the multi-technology case A seco

45、nd case where multi-segment transport is employed is when native service end-points connect to server networks in different administrative domains. In this case, the terminating IWFs will in general not have mutual visibility as internal topologies may not be advertised outside their respective admi

46、nistrative domains.

47、al diagram for multi-segment interworking for the multi-domain case Rec. ITU-T Y.1418 (02/2008) 5 Multi-segment transport may also be used even when there is single-technology reachability and both terminal IWFs are in a single administrative domain. For example, in Appendix I of ITU-T Y.1415 a full

48、 mesh of interworking LSPs is required to provide a multipoint Ethernet service. If the full mesh is prohibitive from a resource point of view, then a partial mesh may be used if multi-segment transport is supported. 6.2 Advantages of the PW layer The introduction of an intermediate layer network en

49、ables the use of stitching IWFs that operate without knowledge of the native service type, and do not need specific processing functionality to handle different types. For real-time native services, such as TDM, use of the intermediate layer avoids exposure of the native service between server networks, which would introduce additional packetization delay and clock degradation. Introduction of an intermediate layer enables use of PW layer OAM. The PW encapsulation described below features an associated c
