Convergence Features
•Quality of Service (QoS) - X330WAN supports the ability to separate traffic
into 4 strict priority queues per egress serial interface. The queue assignment is
performed using Policy. For more detailed information, refer to "Frame Relay
Encapsulation" on page 46.
•Guaranteed delay for VoIP traffic - X330WAN supports VoIP Queue mode. In
this mode traffic labelled as voice traffic receives preference over all other
traffic. The X330WAN default VoIP queuing mode is optimized for the G.729
CODEC. For more detailed information, refer to "Frame Relay Encapsulation"
on page 46.
Avaya X330WAN User’s Guide3
Chapter 1Introduction
•Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) - X330WAN uses WRED on its
ingress and egress queues in order to improve the performance of the network
when overloaded. The purpose of WRED is to indicate to transmitting hosts to
reduce their transmission speed when the ingress X330WAN queues are
congested. For more detailed information, refer to "Frame Relay Encapsulation"
on page 46.
•Policy - Each Serial interface, the Fast Ethernet port, and the FabricFastEthernet
interface can have an ingress and egress active Policy list. X330WAN can
enforce QoS Policy on routed packets and change their 802.1p priority,
according to the packet characteristics.
X330WAN allows changing the DSCP value in the IP header of a packet based
on packet characteristics (DSCP coloring).
In addition, X330WAN supports Access Control policies that define which
packets should be forwarded or denied access to the network. For more detailed
information, refer to "Policy" on page 48.
•RTP Header Compression - X330WAN saves up to 60% of the bandwidth
necessary using RTP compression. It also enhances the efficiency of voice
transmission over the network by compressing the headers of Real Time
Protocol (RTP) packets, thereby minimizing the overhead and the delays
involved in RTP implementation. For more detailed information, refer to "RTP
Header Compression (cRTP)" on page 53.
Sample Applications
The primary uses of the X330WAN are:
•Branch Office connectivity to Headquarters.
•Small/Medium Business connectivity directly to an ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
For illustrations and configuration examples of common applications, refer to
Chapter 4: Operational Concepts and Configuration Examples.
Branch Office Connectivity to Headquarters
X330WAN enables connecting branch office LANs, based on the P330 switch, to a
central office to access the corporate WAN. Each branch office in this solution is
connected to the headquarters office via a leased line or Frame Relay service, and
therefore uses the Internet services supplied via the headquarters ISP. The branch
office can also connect directly to the Internet, independent of the headquarters
office.
Installing an X330WAN Access Router in an Avaya G700 Media Gateway provides
cost-effective and space-saving IP Telephony and WAN routing for SMEs
(Small/Medium Enterprises).
4Avaya X330WAN User’s Guide
The Avaya G700 Media Gateway and P330 switch can be stacked together to
provide a comprehensive converged data and VoIP solution.
Small/Medium Business Connectivity Directly to a Service Provider
X330WAN enables SMEs to connect their LAN directly to an ISP, using a P330
switch. This solution provides independence and flexibility to the SMEs for data
flow and other Internet services.
Functional Concepts Overview
Combining resources is an important component for success for today’s businesses.
X330WAN supplies you with combined required access functionality for branch
offices and SMEs. X330WAN includes all functions necessary for branch office and
SME connectivity.
X330WAN is designed to incorporate the following concepts:
•WAN access
•Routing
•Security
•Convergence
Functional Concepts Overview
WAN Access
WAN access enables data and VoIP transfer by providing a link for routing packets
between the WAN and Ethernet/LAN interfaces. WAN access enables connecting
branch offices to headquarters, and providing fast access to the Internet and e-mail.
VoIP services are enhanced when X330WAN is combined with the Avaya G700
Media Gateway or to the Avaya DEFINITY
®
Communications Server.
Routing
The X330WAN access router modules provide routing capabilities to a P330 switch.
X330WAN routes packets between the WAN and LAN interfaces in the access
router module. X330WAN provides support for the major routing protocols, as well
as a Layer 3/Layer 4 Policy classifier. The Policy classifier works per Layer 2
interface and per direction, controlling access and QoS (tagging and mapping to
internal queuing mechanism). X330WAN independently controls the traffic flow in
the P330 from the LAN to the WAN. For more information about these features,
refer to Chapter 4: Operational Concepts and Configuration Examples.
Avaya X330WAN User’s Guide5
Chapter 1Introduction
Security
Currently security can be implemented with X330WAN by connecting the
X330WAN’s Fast Ethernet port via an external firewall to a port on the P330 switch.
The X330WAN module is connected to the Internet via its WAN ports. For more
information and a sample configuration, refer to "Configuring the X330WAN for
use with an External Firewall" on page 43.
Note: X330WAN contains the infrastructure for all security functionality planned
for future releases, such as Firewall and VPN. Licenses will be issued for the
different security options as the features become available.
Convergence
X330WAN enables a combined data and VoIP solution when used in conjunction
with a VoIP gateway, such as the Avaya S8300 Media Server. You can build your
VoIP network using several topologies, such as:
•Connecting a S8300 Media Server or G700 Media Gateway to the LAN’s
P333T/P333T-PWR/P330 stack, and inserting X330WAN in an expansion slot
of one of the above devices.
•Connecting a DEFINITY with Prowler and CLAN cards to the LAN’s
P333T/P333T-PWR/P330 stack, and inserting X330WAN in an expansion slot
of one of the above devices.
In addition, you need to connect standard IP phones to the P330 stack in either of
the above topologies, or Avaya Legacy phones directly to the G700 Media Gateway.
Using these solutions, X330WAN provides access to the corporate WAN with endto-end QoS and Policy, ensuring the flawless functioning of the IP telephony.
