The Alcatel-Lucent Integrated Service Adaptor Ethernet Switch (ISA-ES) series circuit packs provide
feature-rich Ethernet service capabilities for the undisputed market leaders of multiservice networks,
the Alcatel-Lucent Optical Multiservice Network (OMSN) products.
ISA-ES1 and ES4 variants provide native Fast Ethernet (FE) and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interfaces
and Ethernet over SDH (EoS) ports within 1-Gb to 2.5-Gb switching engines.

The Alcatel-Lucent OMSN family of
multisevice nodes are deployed worldwide. The ISA–ES modules, with their
capability to aggregate and switch
Ethernet into SDH transport, offer
service providers a powerful tool to
leverage their SDH investments to
offer Ethernet services.
Carrier-grade Ethernet must conform
to stringent performance standards
with high availability and layered
network and service management.
SDH infrastructures built on the AlcatelLucent OMSN products have powerful
Quality of Service (QoS) management
with high availability and resiliency.
Integrated Ethernet services based on
the ISA-ES are simple to implement with
embedded end-to-end data-service
management. The ISA-ES empowers
network transformation for service
providers seeking to gain maximum
return from their network investments
(see Figure 1).

The ISA-ES series meets the Ethernet
technology needs of Tier-1 and Tier-2
service providers, service-provider
carriers, multisystem operators or mobile
service operators (MSOs), cable operators,
power utilities and government
institutions.
Each ISA-ES module has a configurable
IP address and User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) port for the network management
to manage Ethernet services, including
implementation, alarms retrieval and
QoS Performance Monitoring (PM).
ISA ES1 and ES4 circuit-pack
overview
• Electrical and optical FE/GigE
interfaces, with Small Form
Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics
• A comprehensive set of:
¬ Ethernet switching features
(802.1d/Q/ad)
¬ Resiliency features: xSTP, Link
Aggregation Group (LAG), link
capacity adjustment scheme
(LCAS) and SDH-based protection
¬ QoS features: for example,
policing, priority marking,
per class queuing and WDRR

¬ Ethernet PM counters
¬ Ethernet Operations, Administration
and Maintenance (OA&M) suite
(ITU-T Y.1731/IEEE 802.1ag)
• EoS adaptation suite, using generic
framing procedure (GFP) (G.7041),
link access procedure over SDH
(LAPS), vitual concatenation (VCAT)
(G.707) standards
• Flexible data architecture options
(see Figure 2):
¬ Point-to point
¬ Hub and spoke
¬ Multipoint-to-multipoint
Figure 3. SLA support
• Optical transport options within
OMSN products:
¬ Multiplex section protection (MSP):
1+1, 1+N
¬ Multiplex Section-Shared
Protection Ring (MS-SPRING) 2f
¬ Subnetwork Connection Protection
(SNCP) I/N
• Efficient network management with
dedicated Ethernet manager suite
To help meet service level agreements
(SLAs), each ISA-ES module allows service providers and carrier operators to
specify per flow QoS. Traffic is specified
by a set of parameters to control its maximum and mean rates and the relative
burst window size in bytes (see Figure 3).
