Applications
Business Ethernet Services
The OptiSwitch 900 series is a compact carrier-class Ethernet Demarcation service

WAN Ethernet Manageable Services
unit. The OS900 enables premium manageable Ethernet services with extensive traffic
- All ports can serve as UNI / NNI
management and end-to-end control for Service level conformance.

The OS900 series acts as a demarcation device at the customer premises and is owned
by the service provider. It provides a carrier-to-customer User/Network Interface (UNI) that separates the carriers WAN from the customers
LAN. The OS900 enables bandwidth limiting, security and monitoring of customer and network interfaces with clear visibility of LAN and WAN
segments.

For inter-provider demarcation points, the OS900 serves as a demarcation device at the carrier-to-carrier on-net locations, and provides
Network/Network interfaces (NNI) that separate two different service provider networks. In such an application, the OS900 Series enables
Ethernet service delivery over multiple carrier transport networks with end-to-end visibility and control.

Side-to-side installation in 19 or 23 Telco racks
Compact in size and with a front to back cooling factor, the OS900 Series enables the installation of two systems, side-to-side in a single
rack frame in standard 19 and 23 Telco racks to enable device protection for highest availability.

Optical SFP interfaces

SFP interfaces provide unmatched deployment flexibility to enable versatile optical extensions from short to long haul singlemode, single
fiber, or CWDM/DWDM connections simply by means of a specific SFP.
For service providers that build next-generation optical networks, the consolidation of xWDM services with intelligent traffic forwarding
on the same platform offers significant costs savings in capital expenditures.
The integration of CWDM and DWDM SFPs eliminates the need for a transponder on the network, and offers better fiber optimization
along physical services separation with dedicated Gigabit rate for premium optical services with the same concept of legacy leased-line
services.

VPN Services & Protection

Compliant to MEF Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC), the OS900 can offer three types of VPNs:
1. Layer 1 Optical VPN a cross-connect mode with transparent mode (no MAC learning)
2. Layer 2 VPN VLAN-based tunneling Q-in-Q stacking, swapping or mapping services
3. Layer 2.5 VPN a label-based MPLS VC for direct connection into MPLS domains or H-VPLS MTU-s
All the above VPN services can be fully protected using port redundancy, dual-homing, and/or ring topology with a recovery time of less than 50
ms.
In addition to L2 VPN, the OS900 can offer integrated IP router services to save the costs of an external router and provides a single
demarcation platform for managed L2 VPN and IP services.

Traffic Management
The OS900 enables a value-added network infrastructure, with end-to-end per flow QoS.
It supports full CoS and QoS (MEF 14 model) including flows classification, rate limiting, shaping, WFQ scheduling, and strict priority for
lower delay/jitter and guaranteed throughput in real-time applications. In addition, it enables dynamic/adaptive buffer pools to prevent
bursty traffic starvation and ensure queuing resources effectiveness.
For network convergence applications that have a clear boundary between customers and carriers networks, CoS layers (802.1p, IP ToS &
MPLS EXP bits) can be mapped/marked to preserve priorities or map them into predefined protection profiles set by the carrier.

Hierarchical QoS CoS-Aware rate limit

Defining premium SLAs is a key fundamental for service differentiation.
The OS900 enables traffic management based on innovative CoS-aware rate limit to dynamically reuse bandwidth profiles. Dynamic QoS
is an important feature that allows for sharing defined rate limited flows with aggregate profile applied to a user network interface or an
Ethernet Virtual Circuit. In the new service offering, the consolidated real-time, high-priority and best effort data require different rates and
marked class of service. Dynamic QoS helps to share/borrow the bandwidth that was allocated for real-time or high priority applications
at a time when these services are not active. Such an offering contributes to a more efficient way of provisioning bandwidth at the access/
demarcation of the network without complex configuration sets at the aggregation layer.

Denial of Service (DoS) protection

The OS900 incorporates multilayer DoS protection at the hardware architecture on the CPU control plane and data-switching plane. The
multilayer control protects the service and the device functionality from hostile traffic without degradation of service performance or
affecting of the forwarding database or CPU availability. Multiple traffic types can be policed or discarded starting from frame level such as
broadcast, multicast up to IP/TCP/UDP layers.

Management
The OS900 Series control plane incorporates a list of highly manageable feature that offers ensured interaction with carriers OSS and
NMS platforms, based on industry standard Southbound out-of-band or in-band interfaces. In addition, it can be managed via MRVs
MegaVision-Pro NMS to have complete GUI and Northbound gateway (XML, TL1 & SNMP) of an entire map of clustered devices for
configuration, performance analysis, and inventory control.
For the service providers, the OAM that is provided by a demarcation device determines to a significant extent the metrics that can be
used to establish the SLA with a business subscriber. The OS900 incorporates enhanced standards compliant MEF OAM and gives the
service provider the ability to monitor the network and provision
services, and promptly determine the location of faults remotely
from the network operation center.


Ethernet OAM with IEEE802.1ag & ITU-T Y.1731
The connectivity of Ethernet bridge devices across Metro

Ethernet or other transport networks creates dedicated or virtual

Ethernet circuits. An end-to-end service architecture requires
administrative domain hierarchy with corresponding OAM
enabled titles. The OS910/912 model incorporates connectivity,
discovery and fault management along performance statistics
of delay, jitter and frame loss for demarcation and intermediate
points of service.

Ethernet loopbacks
The OS900 Series offers remote loopback functionality on a

physical interface or a specific VLAN that traverses UNI or NNI
interfaces. The loopback function allows for the troubleshooting
of the service, remotely, from NOC, or any other manageable
location without needing to actually visit the customer premises.
Loopback functionality performed in hardware level for performance monitoring and SLA verification in wire-speed.
Copper TDR
The OS900 incorporates copper TDR that can identify problems with CAT5 copper cables on a customers site such as opens, shorts and
wrong impedance.

Optical Performance Level Monitoring (Digital Diagnostics)

The OS900 Series supports the SFP Digital Diagnostics standard (as per SFF-8472). A powerful OPM tool, it provides access to a number of
real-time SFP operating parameters such as optical TX/RX power, voltage and temperature, as well as component information such as vendor
code, serial number and wavelength. The information provided by Digital Diagnostics, together with alarm and warning thresholds, enables a
network administrator to identify potential problems in optical transmission and take preemptive action before any service outage actually
occurs.

Per-service performance monitoring

The OS900 offers real-time and historical reporting on various service performance metrics, including port/VPN-EVC utilization,
transmission errors, and QoS threshold exceptions.
Each service can be tracked for statistical information to help in base lining and troubleshooting traversing services. This service enables
users to verify service guarantees, increase network reliability by validating network performance. Performance monitoring uses pro-active
monitoring to generate traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner, thus enabling the measurement of network performance
and health.

Link Fault Reflection/Propogation

The link fault reflection propogates the fault from network interface to user interface. Such functionality is configurable and operated on
LOS fault that will trigger the user link to down mode. In scenario of network interfaces protection, the fault propogation will be triggered
only after the LOS of both network interfaces.

Sniffer VLAN
The OS900 incorporates a powerful tool called Sniffer VLAN. This feature enables the operator to configure a dedicated sniffer VLAN to
remote surveillance center for remote analyzer. Sniffing on the OS900 can be set per specific customers VLAN, per L2-3-4 fields or per learn
table MAC. The remote service monitoring inline with interception processes based on requirements of Law Enforement Monitoring.
