ASON SLA Classification of Services

This document describes different service level agreements (SLAs) for an ASON network based on protection and restoration schemes: - Diamond service provides the best protection with permanent 1+1 protection using separate working and protection lightpaths. - Gold service uses less bandwidth but still provides protection using multi-segment protection switching if the working path fails. - Silver service is suitable for non-real time data with restoration times of hundreds of milliseconds to seconds using rerouting. - Copper and Iron services provide minimal or no protection and are rarely used. Ethio Telecom currently uses Diamond service in its mesh networks and Gold service in ring networks.

ASON SLA Classification of

Services

ASON network can provide different QoS for different
services.

SLA is used to classify services according to
protection and restoration schemes
 Diamond Service
 Gold Service
 Silver Service
 Copper service
 Iron service
SLA services...

Diamond Services
 Best protection ability
 Permanent 1+1 protection
 Applicable to voice and data
services, VIP private line, such as
banking, security and aviation.
 two different LSPs available
between source and the sink nodes

Separate working and protection
LSP

The same service is transmitted
to the working and protection
LSPs at the same time

Sink node receives the service
from working LSP in normal
conditions otherwise it will
receive from protection LSP
 Three types

Permanent 1+1:routing triggered when an
LSP fails

Rerouting 1+1:routing triggered when both
SLA Services...

Gold Service
 Greater BW utilzation
 applicable to voice and
significant data services
 needs only one LSP
 MSP switching is used for
protection

When working path fails(fiber
cut),ASON triggers MSP
switching for protection.

If MSP fails, rerouting will be
triggered to restore the service
SLA Services...

Silver Service
 revertive time is hundreds
of milliseconds to several
seconds
 suitable for non-real time
data or Internet services
 rerouting service

LSP failure triggers rerouting

Service will be interrupted if
no resource available
SLA Services...

Copper service 
Iron service
 Rarely used  Rarely used
 For bulk volume of holiday
 Can be used temporal services to utilize full
services like abrupt available bw
services in holidays  preemptable service
 Non-protection service 
During LSP failure no rerouting
and service will be interrupted

If LSP fails, service will
not be rerouted and

Preempted by rerouted
diamond and silver services if
interrupted.
network resource is insufficient

SLA services in ethio telecom

services in OTN network are diamond
 some areas that have mesh topology (at least 3 dimensions)

Dedicated 1+1 rerouting
 areas with ring topology and ZTE OTN

1+1 ODUk SNCP protection, non rerouting

Opportunity to consider other available SLA services in
future.
 Enhance resource utilization
 Meet delay requirement of services
 Host temporary services easily
