ECI Risk Free Transition to Packet-UTC LATAM-April 2016
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like203 views
This document discusses the transition from TDM networks to packet-based networks, focusing on MPLS-TP as the best solution for mission critical applications. It notes that MPLS-TP can guarantee TDM-like deterministic performance for any network topology while providing packet efficiency. It also highlights that MPLS-TP offers transport-like protection, operation, and OAM that are important for low latency, jitter, and accurate timing in applications like teleprotection and synchronization. The document argues that MPLS-TP minimizes risk for mission critical networks during the inevitable change from TDM to packet.

ECI Proprietary 12 MPLS-TP OBJECTIVES “To enable MPLS to be deployed in a transport network and operated in a similar manner to existing transport technologies (SDH/SONET/OTN)” “To enable MPLS to support packet transport services with a similar degree of predictability, reliability, and OAM to that found in existing transport networks” Defined jointly by IETF and ITU-T (MPLS Transport Profile Framework) 12
- 13. ECI Proprietary 13 MPLS-TP MPLS TP is both a subset and an extension of IP/MPLS to meet transport requirements Common – Packet forwarding Added – Transport like OAM, protection, operation Discarded – Features that hurt deterministic performance or that are not connection oriented Interoperable Transport Grade MPLS Discarded IP/MPLS Common Added MPLS-TP 13

- 18. ECI Proprietary 18 TAKING RISKS Two reasons worth the risk: Fun, adrenalin Great savings (time, money) MINIMIZING RISKS IS ALWAYS A GOOD HABIT 18
- 19. ECI Proprietary 19 RISKS MANAGEMENT Is it worth the risk for mission critical networks? What are the great benefits you gain? Rule of Thumb - Don’t introduce unnecessary risks to mission critical networks …especially when there is such a good alternative… BEING A CONSERVATIVE IS NOT ALWAYS NEGATIVE Benefits Risks 19
