본 논문에서는 MEF(Metro Ethernet Forum) 기술 문서를 기반으로 메트로 이더넷 망을 위한 보호 기술을 소개하고 메트로 이더넷 망을 위한 링크 보호 알고리즘을 설계한다. 제안한 링크 보호 알고리즘은 각 서비스가 요구하는 링크 복구 시간(restoration time)을 고려하여 백업 경로를 미리 설정하는 방법과 장애가 발생한 이후에 우회 경로를 설정하는 방법을 사용한다. 백업 경로를 미리 설정함에 따라 자원의 이용률이 감소하므로 이를 해결하기 위하여 백업 경로 간 자원의 공유 방법을 도입하였으며, 서비스 특성에 따라 복구 경로에서 제한된 QoS를 제공하도록 하여 망의 가용성을 증가시일 수 있다.

This paper proposes Ethernet linear protection switching technology in order to provide the SONET/SDH-like resiliency over Metro Ethernet Networks. The proposed design is made of an architecture with a control processor board and several data processing boards, where the control processor board is independent of data processing board, providing a flexible solution for carrier Ethernet system. However, it leads an increasing message delay between inter-processors. In this paper, we implement and confirm a restoration of failed transport connections withing 50 millisecond in spite of increasing message delay between the control processing board and data processing board providing carrier-class network survivability.

Carrier Ethernet, which extend The algorithm based on constructing the mixed topology and performing link stretching, MT/s, has been proposed for designing cost-efficient Carrier Ethernet in optical network with multi-line-rate. However, the MT/s algorithm has high blocking ratio because the wavelength capacity is fully allocated without considering the load balance of network. In this paper, we propose an efficient mixed topology configuration (EMTC) algorithm by modifying MT/s algorithm. In order to reduce blocking ratio, we adapt a threshold for each link to restrict the link utilization so that traffic load can be distributed over whole network. We also apply the EMTC algorithm into optical hybrid switched network to evaluate the availability of our algorithm for different applications. The performance of the EMTC algorithm is compared with that of MT/s algorithm through OPNET simulation. The simulation results show that our algorithm achieve lower blocking ratio than the MT/s algorithm. Moreover, in hybrid switched network, our algorithm performs better than MT/s algorithm in terms of packet loss ratio and end-to-end delay.

이더넷(Ethernet)은 본래 캠퍼스, 기업이나 가정 등 근거리의 LAN 영역에 주로 사용되는 기술이었으나 플러그 앤 플레이(plug and play)와 같은 단순함(simplicity), 적은 설치 비용 및 쉬운 운용 등을 장점으로, 통신 사업자 및 운용자(carrier)의 고유영역인 MAN/WAN에서도 사용 가능한 메트로 이더넷 및 캐리어 이더넷(Metro/Carrier Ethernet)으로 빠른 속도로 진화 발전하고 있는 상황이다. 캐리어 이더넷은 탄력성(resiliency), 신뢰성(reliability), 확장성(scalability), 관리성(manageability) 등과 같은 특징을 중요시하는 통신 사업자 환경에서 이더넷 기반 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 확장된 이더넷 기술을 의미한다. 본 고에서는 캐리어 이더넷 기술에 대한 정의와 관련 서비스를 소개하고, MEF, IEEE 802, ITU-T, IETF 등 국제 기구 및 연관 포럼에서 진행중인 캐리어 이더넷 기술의 표준화 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

Self-healing Ethernet rings show promise for realizing the SONET/SDH-grade resilience in Carrier Ethernet infrastructures. However, when a ring is faulty, high-priority protection messages are processed in less time than low-priority data frames are processed. In this situation, any delayed data frames either being queued or traveling through long ring spans will cause the ring nodes to generate incorrect forwarding information. As a result, the data frames spread in the wrong direction, causing the ring to become unstable. To solve this problem, we propose four schemes, that is, dual flush, flush delay timer setting, purge triggering, and priority setting, and evaluate their protection performance under various traffic conditions on a ring based on the Ethernet ring protection (ERP) method. In addition, we develop an absorbing Markov chain model of the ERP protocol to observe how traffic congestion can impact the protection performance of the proposed priority setting scheme. Based on our observations, we propose a more reliable priority setting scheme, which guarantees faultless protection, even in a congested ring.

Ethernet ring protection (ERP) technology, which is defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.8032, has been developed to provide carrier grade recovery for Ethernet ring networks. However, the filtering database (FDB) flush method adopted in the current ERP standard has the drawback of introducing a large amount of transient traffic overshoot caused by flooded Ethernet frames right after protection switching. This traffic overshooting is especially critical when a ring provides services to a large number of clients. According to our experimental results, the traditional FDB flush requires a link capacity about sixteen times greater than the steady state traffic bandwidth. This paper introduces four flush optimization schemes to resolve this issue and investigates how the proposed schemes deal with the transient traffic overshoot on a multi-ring network under failure conditions. With a network simulator, we evaluate the performance of the proposed schemes and compare them to the conventional FDB flush scheme. Among the proposed methods, the extended FDB advertisement method shows the fastest and most stable protection switching performance.

Ethernet passive optical networks (PONs) are an emerging access network technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines between a carrier's central office and a customer site. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm of dynamic bandwidth allocation for multimedia services over Ethernet PONs. To implement the suggested dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm, we present control message formats that handle classified bandwidths in a multi-point control protocol of Ethernet PONs.

To build a flexible network than traditional transport network, the carrier ethernet technology is emerging in network industry recently and MPLS-TP technologies are being applied as a major standard technology for the carrier ethernet. However, network management technologies required to handle equipment installed in MPLS-TP network are not clear. This paper propose an efficient method to build a management network automatically without any additional configuration when network equipments are installed in MPLS-TP network. The proposed scheme reduce cost required for both equipment installation and network maintenance by minimizing configuration procedures of connecting management system with network. We evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by applying the scheme to a real MPLS-TP equipment.

In this paper, we propose a new signaling protocol as an extension of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) based PCE protocol for control carrier ethernet. The proposed protocol is not only compatible with the GMPLS PCE standard protocol, but also provides the topology discovery and configuration. In order to verify interoperability, we implement the proposed protocol as well as the system integrating functions including commercial system for testbed. In addition, we have simulated topology discovery test for proposed protocol performance.
