MOBILE BACKHAUL
Overview
The Brocade-RAD-Symmetricom mobile backhaul solution provides flexible access/aggregation transport

options, including native Ethernet/MPLS, and enables the cost effective delivery of new IP-based services
requiring high bandwidth and superior Quality of Service (QoS). It meets all the requirements for the
deployment of wholesale Ethernet backhaul with clocking and management integration.
Wholesale backhaul is typically the catalyst for service providers offering best-effort Ethernet services to
enhance their offering and provide carrier Ethernet services to retail carriers and enterprise customers.
While this solution focuses on wholesale mobile backhaul, it can be easily adapted to cover other wholesale
and retail service delivery. It includes features such as stringent QoS, powerful OAM, SLA assurance, circuit
validation, and diagnostics critical for carrier Ethernet service delivery. The solution also features TimeDivision Multiplexing (TDM) pseudowire and precise clock recovery features, which are targeted more at the
mobile backhaul market.

Brocade Router and Switch Configuration
Brocade Carrier-Class MLX routers were configured as part of the Carrier Ethernet MPLS (Multiprotocol
Label Switching) core.
Brocade Aggregation CER/CES switches were configured as the PE (Provider Edge) with MPLS and VLL
(Virtual Leased Line) tunnels.
See Appendix A for configuration example.
RAD Configuration
The RAD ETX is a Carrier Ethernet Demarcation Device. These devices are owned and operated by the
server provider and installed at the customer premises.
The ETXs were configured with flow-based services. Different services are assigned to different
Ethernet flows and received by the same user port. Ingress user traffic was created on VLANs.
See Appendix A for configuration example.
WHOLESALE ETHERNET BACKHAUL PART 1
This demonstrates RAD ETX to RAD ETX across MPLS Core. End to end testing was performed with RAD ETX
204A to a remote RAD ETX 204A via MPLS through Brocade MLX routers.
Data VLAN was configured to carry customer traffic; Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM);
and test data. Management VLAN was configured to manage equipment and retrieve statics.
Operations and Maintenance (OAM) is used to monitor the health of a network and diagnose problems
without maintenance truck rolls. OAM is required for connectivity verification, especially for connectionless
protocols such as Ethernet (otherwise when there is no traffic, there is no verification of connectivity).
The Ethernet OAM standard IEEE 802.3-2005 (formerly 802.3ah Ethernet in first mile) is important for link
monitoring procedures, including auto-discovery, heartbeat, and fault notification messages; link statistics;
MIB variable retrieval; and remote loopbacks.
IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731 provide mechanisms for Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) and
Performance Management (PM) over any path, whether single link or end-to-end, allowing the service
provider to manage each EVC separately regardless of the underlying transport.

DEPLOYMENT GUIDE
Quality of Service (QoS) enables better service to certain flows over other. RAD and Brocade validated endto-end QoS starting with comprehensive traffic management at the demarcation device and continuing
across the network.
RFC-2544 benchmark testing is vital to provide performance metrics for the Ethernet network. Key tests
include the measurement of throughput, latency and frame loss.

Fault propagation
a. Network-to-user fault propagation mechanism on the port and OAM CFM levels When fault
propagation is enabled, the user port shuts itself down or an OAM CFM indication of failure is sent
when a link failure is detected at the network port or when an OAM CFM indication of failure is
received.
b. User-to-network fault propagation mechanism on the port and OAM CFM levels When fault
propagation is enabled, the network port shuts itself down or an OAM CFM indication of failure is
sent when a link failure is detected at the user port or an OAM CFM indication of failure is received.

Diagnostic - RFC-2455 Benchmark Testing

Unidirectional and Bidirectional Traffic
RFC -2544 Throughput
a)
b)
Unidirectional
i) Local ETX generates TST messages towards the far end
ii) Far end device verifies messages and calculates unidirectional throughput
iii) The convergence algorithm is based a binary search using LMM and LMR messages
iv) Latency
v) Frame Loss
vi) Back to back
(1) Frame testing involves sending a burst of frame with minimum inter-frame gaps to the
DUT and count the number of frames forwarded by the DUT.
(2) If the count of transmitted frames is equal to the number of frames forwarded, the length
of the burst is increased and the test is rerun.
vii) If the number of forwarded frames is less than the number transmitted, the length of the burst
is reduced and the test is rerun.
viii) The back-to-back value is the number of frames in the longest burst that the DUT will handle
without the loss of any frames.
Bidirectional
i) Local ETX generates LBM + data TLV messages towards the far end
ii) Far end devices responds with LBR messages

Test Suite per ITU-T Timing and synchronization G.8261/Y.1361
ITU-T G.8261/Y.1361 defines synchronization aspects in packet networks. It specifies the maximum
network limits of jitter and wander that shall not be exceeded. It specifies the minimum equipment
tolerance to jitter and wander that shall be provided at the boundary of these packet networks at TDM and
synchronization interfaces.
Tests cases provide useful guidance on the performance of Ethernet-based circuit emulation techniques.
Test cases 1-8 are only relevant for PWE (pseudowire) applications and not 1588. Test cases 9-11 are only
for Differential Clock recovery. For this solution only test cases 12-14 were performed.
Clocking Test Performed
Test Case 12: Models the "Static" Packet load.

This test models network disturbance load with 80% for the forward direction (Server to Client) and 20% in
the reverse direction (Client to Server) for 1 hour. The test measurements should start after the clock
recovery is in a stable condition.
Test Case 13: Models sudden large and persistent changes in network load.
This test models sudden large and persistent changes in network load. It demonstrates stability on sudden
large changes in network conditions, and wanders performance in the presence of low frequency PDV
(packet delay variation).
Page 30 of 55

DEPLOYMENT GUIDE
Test Case 14: Models the slow change in network load over an extremely long timescale.
This test models the slow change in network load over an extremely long timescale. It demonstrates stability
with very slow changes in network conditions and wanders performance in the presence of extremely low
frequency PDV (packet delay variation).
Reading the Graphs:
The G.823T 15PP, G.8261.1.E1 and G.8261.1.DS are the three standard MTIE masks as per the Circuit
Emulation Applications governing standard for ITU-T Rec. G.8261, they are plotted on all graphs for the
reference. The region above these three standard MTIE masks is the unacceptable region, if the MTIE line
crosses or passes above the standard MTIE masks then the results are bad. The region below these
standard MTIE masks is the acceptable region and if the MTIE line is plotted within this region then the
results are proven to be good.
During all of our G.8261 testing with RAD and Symmetricom, the MTIE line was always in the acceptable
region below the standard MTIE masks and the results were proven good.

APPENDIX B: MOBILE BACKHAUL CONFIGURATIONS WITH CLOCKING

Brocade Configuration to Provide QOS for Clocking
Configure QOS on Customer edge router and Provider edge router to provide high precedence to clock
signal over data traffic. Ideally QOS is configured at the Demarcation Device, for a Customer CE is the
demarcation point and for a Service Provider PE is the demarcation point.
Customer Edge (CE) Router QoS

Below is the QOS configuration at the Customer Demarcation device
