Features

Compact MPLS-enabled
platform for highly available
service delivery

With its small footprint, 10GigE uplinks
and leading MPLS capabilities, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS is ideally suited
to extend the Carrier Ethernet aggre­gation infrastructure into smaller
network locations and extend the
service intelligence into the customer
premise. The 7210 SAS supports two
10GigE Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP)
optical ports and twenty-four GigE Small
Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical
ports. MPLS-enabled variants support
MPLS and Ethernet across all ports,
and features include resource reser­vation protocol – traffic engineering
(RSVP-TE), label distribution protocol
(LDP) and targeted LDP (T-LDP), along
with resiliency mechanisms including
fast reroute (FRR), primary and second­ary label switched paths (LSPs),
pseudowire redundancy and MPLS-TE
graceful shutdown for highly available
service delivery.

Delivering advanced Carrier
Ethernet VPN services

By extending SLAs into the customer
edge, the 7210 SAS enables innovative
and differentiated retail and whole­sale Carrier Ethernet VPN services such
as virtual private LAN service (VPLS),
hierarchical (H-VPLS) and virtual leased
line (VLL) services along with Ethernet
access to enhanced Internet services
(IES) and IP VPN services. Industry and
enterprise customers that operate
their own networks can also innovate
and enhance the services they provide
to their internal customers. Innovative
SLAs require end-to-end service
delivery and simplified management
with differentiation based on reliabil­ity, quality of service (QoS) and OAM
tools. To meet the requirements to
support mission-critical applications,
the Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS supports
MPLS resiliency mechanisms and an
extensive OAM toolkit. When com­bined with the per-service attributes of

the Alcatel-Lucent SR OS, end-to-end
business VPN services can be enabled
to solve enterprise networkingcom­plexities with guaranteed QoS per
application over redundant uplinks
across an IP/MPLS network.

Advanced H-QoS

With traffic streams of today’s Ethernet
services consisting of video applications,
voice, best-effort Internet access, and
mission-critical business services, QoS
becomes a critical element for deliver­ing both best-effort and SLA-based
services. Using service and network
level queuing, granular shaping,
policing, and marking of service traffic
and per-service guarantee capabilities,
the Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS supports
H-QoS to provide more enhanced
business VPN services. These services
enable multiservice SLAs to ensure
performance parameters for individual
enterprise applications (for example,
bandwidth, delay, jitter) are met while
providing bandwidth efficiency by
allowing lower priority applications to
burst when higher priority applications
go idle.

Carrier Ethernet service
aggregation

For consolidated business, residential
and Ethernet-centric mobile service
aggregation applications, including
more service-intensive environments
with burst requirements in smaller
network locations, the 7210 SAS
provides five compact platform options
to cost-optimize infrastructure build­outs based on networking require­ments such as service queues, packet
buffers, counters, LSPs, MAC addresses
and ACLs.

Extensive OAM tools with
performance measurement

To support differentiated services that
are managed into the customer edge,
the Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS provides
a suite of per-service Ethernet and
MPLS OAM service assurance capabili­ties. These tools include ITU-T Y.1731,
IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah, VPLS

OAM and local service mirroring.
The 7210 SAS hardware-based imple­mentation of ITU-T Y.1731 enables
accurate measurements of perfor­mance parameters (for example, jitter,
latency and packet loss). As well, its
robust implementation of ITU-T Y.1731
ensures performance measurement
does not impact system performance.
Finally, the 7210 SAS in concert with
the 5620 SAM supports the Alcatel­Lucent service assurance agent (SAA).

Comprehensive management
to the customer edge

The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM simplifies
the end-to-end management of Carrier
Ethernet services, giving the operator
a comprehensive, easy-to-use fault
management system, integrated SR OS
OAM toolkit for SLA compliance,
threshold crossing alerts, per-service
provisioning with GUI-based tem­plates, and customized service portal
capabilities. Full integration of
MPLS-enabled 7210 SAS variants with
the Alcatel-Lucent 5650 Control Plane
Assurance Manager (CPAM) provides
IP/MPLS control plane visualization,
surveillance and path computation.
The Operations Support System (OSS)
Connected Partner program offers
certified integration with industry­leading OSS applications, including
service assurance, provisioning and
traffic engineering.

Deployment flexibility

The flexibility of the 7210 SAS platform
provides cost-optimized build-outs with
five variant options designed to meet
specific networking requirements over
ring or mesh topologies. The Ethernet
and MPLS-enabled variants have the
versatility for use as customer premise
equipment in single tenant and multi­tenant offices as well as campus environ­ments or in smaller network locations.
To meet ever-increasing bandwidth
requirements, 10GigE ports are sup­ported. The MPLS-enabled variants
support ITU-T Sync-E for the distribu­tion of accurate network timing and
synchronization over Carrier Ethernet

infrastructures. The 7210 SAS provides
an option to deploy devices in more
severe environments that require
extended temperature ranges. Finally,
the 7210 SAS also provides theflex­ibility to support SFPs and XFPs with
digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM)
capabilities and coarse wave division
multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs.

Backhauling TDM-based
applications

To extend the life of enterprise’s
valued TDM equipment, or transition
enterprise off legacy SONET/SDH
networks, the Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS
supports circuit emulation services
(CES). Using an optional four port
T1/E1 CES service expansion module,
the 7210 SAS supports MPLS Martini
Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge
(PWE3), Structure Agnostic TDM over
Packet (SAToP) and Adaptive Clock
Recovery (ACR) to transparently
carry TDM-based data, video and
voice appli cations across the IP/MPLS
infrastructure.

Proven end-to-end
operating system

The Alcatel-Lucent SR OS is a carrier­grade, highly fault-tolerant, and
feature-rich operating system that
operates across the entire Alcatel­Lucent SR portfolio. With a single
operating system across all SR product
families, operators can be assured of
consistent service definitions, reliable
operations and per-service manage­ment for seamless service extension
when deploying the Alcatel-Lucent
7210 SAS for VPLS and H-VPLS (also
referred to as E-LAN by the MEF)
multi-point services, VLL (also referred
to as E-Line by the MEF) point-to-point
services, along with Ethernet access
to IES and IP VPN services over an
Alcatel-Lucent network.

Benefits

Increase revenues with innova­tive, differentiated services

Today’s enterprise is challenged with
increasing bandwidth requirements,
a dependence on applications to give
them a competitive edge, a drive to
contain networking costs, and widely
distributed internal and external
network users. Enterprise also wants
proof that they are receiving value for
their VPN services. By extending the
SR OS and 5620 SAM reach into the
customer edge operators can solve
enterprise networking challenges
using VPLS, H-VPLS and VLL services
with stringent SLAs that support a full
suite of demanding enterprise applica­tions over redundant uplinks. Industry
and enterprise customers that operate
their own networks can also use
stringent SLAs to ensure application
availability for their internal users.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS delivers
end-to-end service richness, advanced
OAM and simplified management to
increase revenues with a full suite of
innovative, differentiated services.
Advanced SR OS OAM tools areinte­grated into the 5620 SAM and allow
operators to accurately monitor and
measure SL A parameters for higher
value business VPN services. Operators
can create Carrier Ethernet VPN service
leadership with multiservice SLAs
using service-aware H-QoS to ensure
that performance parameters for
individual enterprise applications are
met, while allowing traffic bursts for
bandwidth efficiency. For further
service innovation, operators increase
revenue and customer loyalty using
CES to transparently carry TDM-based
data, voice and videoappli cations
across the IP/MPLS infrastructure.

Cost-optimized Carrier
Ethernet build-outs

Ethernet has formed the basis of the
largest customer edge and metro
aggre gation build-outs. With its
compact form factor, MPLS features,
10GigE capabilities, a range oftask­specific networking variants and

service scale, the Alcatel-Lucent
7210 SAS enables operators to cost­effectively scale Carrier Ethernet
infrastructure build-outs in smaller
central offices and hub sites, which
both reduces CAPEX and OPEX while
increasing revenues with value-added
VPNs. Leveraging an MPLS-enabled
Carrier Ethernet platform enables
consolidation of next-generation
business, residential, business and
Ethernet-centric mobile services on
a compact platform. It also provides
seamless integration with the IP/MPLS
provider edge to extend Carrier Ethernet
service reach over metro, national and
international geographies. The avail­ability of 10GigE uplinks allow opera­tors to scale service bandwidth toward
10GigE without the cost of additional
fiber build-outs. As well, operators
can reliably deliver synchronous-based
applications — including TDM and mobile
backhaul services — using ITU-T Sync-E.

Maximize operational efficiency
and service assurance

The tight integration of 5620 SAM
and 5650 CPAM with SR OS enables
operators to maximize operational
efficiency and improve service assur­ance, thereby reducing operational
expenditures. The 5620 SAM enables
rapid provisioning that expedites time
to market while minimizing the chance
of operator error. It also provides
proactive troubleshooting to identify
problems before they affect custom­ers, resulting in improved customer
satisfaction. The service assurance
agent streamlines performance
measurement of SLA service attributes
for increased value to end users in
the way of accurate billing, service
verification, SLAmonitoring, and
the ability to proactively predict SLA
threshold violations. The Alcatel-Lucent
5650 CPAM enables operators to
proactively detect abnormal control
plane behavior and rapidly resolve
problems by visualizing control plane
topology and routing config uration
for improved overall service availability.

Operators looking to further differ­entiate their services and increase
revenue can offer web-based,
self-service portals to end users,
allowing them to order service
changes, monitor service quality, view
real-time reports, and request and
change application treatment and
diagnostics.

Reduced cost of customer
acquisition

As operators extend the reach of their
Carrier Ethernet services into thecus­tomer edge, they are often faced with
a very aggressive business case. One of
the most difficult pain points foropera­tors is the cost of customer acquisition.
As an SR OS and 5620 SAM-enabled

provides seamless service extension
into 7450 ESS, 7705 SAR, 7750 SR and
7710 SR IP/MPLS transformation
solutions. This underpins the business
case for acquiring new customers and
gives operators an advanced service
delivery platform while minimizing
training, service configuration, testing
cycles, and OSS integration costs.
