Loop-IP6608 CE2.0 Switch

As the SLA (Service Level Agreement) is at the center part of the Carrier Ethernet services and the Ethernet OAM protocol suite is the key to enable the services. The IP6608 NIDs embed the hardware Ethernet OAM engines for ensuring the real time monitoring can be achieved. The protocol suite covers link status, service level, network monitoring, as well as performance metrics.  IEEE 802.1ag CFM, 802.3ah EFM, ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring are all included in the OAM feature suite, furthermore, both IETF RFC 2544 and ITU-T Y.1564 hardware-based tester are also in place which enables the operation center the ability of performing diagnostics and performance testing remotely. This capability effectively reduces service personnel costs and ensures outstanding user experiences.

The PTP (IEEE 1588v2) has become the de facto synchronization solution that has been widely adopted in different application scenarios which requires precision timing mechanism. By incorporating the OCXO better than what Stratum 3 required, the IP6608 NIDs perfectly maintain the 1588v2 accuracy within nano-second scale. The Sync-E (ITU-T G.826x) assisted 1588v2 delivers not only the accuracy, but with outstanding stability persistently. The importance of synchronization grows drastically as the mobile traffic grows with unprecedented speed. The exceptional PTP performance on IP6608 effectively satisfies such synchronization requirements the LTE & LTE-Adv. base-stations needed. The 1588v2 capabilities delivered by IP6608 ensure what LTE & LTE-A requested, and potentially what the 5G technology will need can be perfectly fulfilled.

ERPS, the ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching, is firmly built inside IP6608 NIDs as the foundation that provides sub-50ms switching capabilities. No need to worry about incidentally operation interruptions any longer that drastically reduces the OpEx of the network operators. The ERPS feature is assisted by dedicated hardware engine embedded in the silicon; hence, it ensures the consistent performance on the switching time whenever the interruption happens. In addition to ERPS, other protection related protocols are all supported, such as IEEE 802.1d STP, 802.1w/s RSTP & MSTP, and 802.3ad LACP, etc.
