2 Agenda 1 MEF s Carrier Ethernet and other Dynamic Services 2 Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) 3 From Technical Specifications to MEF Products 2

3 The Journey to Dynamic Services MEF s initial focus on Ethernet Layer 2 Services MEF Ethernet Services defined independently of the Layer 1 network used to transport them E.g., Ethernet Private Line can be transported over SONET/SDH, OTN, or IEEE Layer 1 network Initial MEF work focused on automating and orchestrating MEF Ethernet services Info Models, YANG modules, LSO APIs, etc. To offer agile, assured and orchestrated Third Network Services, MEF standardizes the service model for Layer 1 and Layer 3 services 3

4 MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 Current Generation of MEF Services Carrier Ethernet delivers 3 powerful features: Standardized Multi- Class of Service Interconnected CENs Manageability Globally adopted connectivity service framework Foundation for agile, assured and orchestrated connectivity services 4

5 How the MEF Defines Connectivity Services Subscriber Services (EVC) consist of: User to Network Interfaces (UNIs) Demarcation between Service Provider and Subscriber Virtual Connections (VC) at or between UNIs UNI, VC, and VC End Point Service Attributes EVC-based services defined in MEF 6.2 UNI Service Provider VC UNI Operator Services (OVC) consist of: UNI(s) External Network to Network Interfaces (ENNIs) Demarcation between Operators VCs at or between the UNI(s) or ENNI(s) UNI, ENNI, VC, and VC End Point Service Attributes OVC-based services defined in MEF 26.1 (ENNI) and MEF 33. EVC: Ethernet Virtual Connection UNI OVC: Operator Virtual Connection VC Service Provider For Ethernet Services, VCs are EVCs or OVCs ENNI VC Operator UNI 5

6 CE 2.0 Retail Services Types (EVC) E-Line Point-to-Point Ethernet Private Lines (EPL) Ethernet Virtual Private Lines (EVPL) UNI Point-to-Point EVC UNI E-LAN Multipoint L2 VPNs Transparent LAN Service Multicast Networks EP-LAN, EVP-LAN Multi-point to Multi-point EVC UNI UNI UNI UNI E-Tree Rooted Multi-Point L2 VPNs Traffic Segregation EP-Tree, EVP-Tree UNI Rooted Multi-point EVC UNI UNI 6

7 Goal to Standardize and Unify Service Components to Simplify Modeling and APIs UNI Service end point and demarcation between subscriber and service provider Model it using common attributes that different values depending whether it is for an IP Service, Ethernet Service or L1 Service ENNI Service end point and demarcation between operators Model it using common attributes that different values depending whether it is for an IP Service, Ethernet Service or L1 Service VC Term to describe the interconnection of two demarcation points EVC/OVC for Ethernet services, IPVC for IP Services, L1VC not yet created VC End Point Term to describe the VC capabilities at a particular service end point, e.g., UNI or ENNI 7

8 MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 Retail (EVC Services) E-Line E-LAN E-Tree Globally Adopted, Certifiable, Connectivity Services Framework Wholesale (OVC Services) E-Access Access E-Line Access E-LAN E-Transit Transit E-Line Transit E-LAN EVC: Ethernet Virtual Connection OVC: Operator Virtual Connection 8

9 What is an MEF E-Access Service? Retail Service Provider buys E-Access services to reach off-net customer locations Wholesale Access Provider sells E-Access services to provide access to locations on its network ENNI (external NNI) is point of interconnection between Retail and Wholesale providers Operator Virtual Connection (OVC) between UNIs and ENNIs Point-to-Point (E-Line) or Multipoint (E-LAN) MEF 33 Retail Service Provider The Buyer (Has relationship with end-customer) ON-NET CUSTOMER LOCATIONS Wholesale Access Service Provider The Seller (Provides Access to remote customer location) OFF-NET CUSTOMER LOCATIONS End User Subscriber Headquarters UNI Carrier Ethernet Network ENNI Carrier Ethernet Network UNI End User Subscriber Branch Site CE CE End-to-End Carrier Ethernet Service E-Access Service (OVC) Multi-CoS capable Service OAM 9

13 Some Service Delivery Permutations Service Provider may deliver: Layer 1 Service, e.g., Optical Wavelength Service (OWS) Delivered over an OTN Layer 1 transport OWS over OTN MEF Layer 2 Ethernet Service, e.g., EPL Delivered over a SONET/SDH Layer 1 transport IP (Layer 3) Service, e.g., Internet Access Delivered over a Carrier Ethernet access network over IEEE Layer 1 transport EPL SONET/SDH Internet Access EVPL IEEE MEF standardizes the service model for each of the three network layers to facilitate automation and orchestration 13

14 MEF Layer 1 Services Project

15 Layer 1 Service Definitions and Attributes Project Industry Challenge: No standard definition of Layer 1 Services Layer 1 services broadly available but lack standardized service attributes Lack of standardized ENNI results in ad hoc operator interconnects Project: Define Service Attributes for Managed Layer 1 Services End-to-end (subscriber) and inter-provider (operator) service attributes Analogous to EVC/UNI and OVC/UNI/ENNI attributes for Carrier Ethernet Why do this? Enable on-demand, dynamic Third Network Layer 1 services Requires standardized APIs and orchestration across network domains Enable on-demand, dynamic Layer 1 service creation and assurance 15

16 Subscriber Layer 1 Connectivity Services Layer 1 Connectivity Services (UNI-to-UNI) characteristics: Topology - point-to-point only Rate - full port rate (wire speed) only High Bandwidth: 155Mb/s STM-1 up to 100Gb/s Ethernet Multi-protocol - Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FICON, InfiniBand, SONET/SDH, OTN High performance - lowest latency, jitter, loss Same MEF UNI and ENNI terms Redefined to encompass Layer 1 attributes 16

17 UNI and ENNI Protocols UNI Data Client Protocol Rate (Gb/s) GigE (1000BASE-X) GigE WAN (10GBASE-W) GigE LAN (10GBASE-R) GigE (40GBASE-R) GigE (100GBASE-R) FC FC FC FC FC FC FC ENNI Protocol Rate (Gb/s) ODU1 (OTU1 interface) ODU2 (OTU2 interface) ODU2e (OTU2e interface) ODU3 (OTU3 interface) ODU4 (OTU4 interface) UNI TDM Client Protocol Rate (Gb/s) OC-3/STM OC-12/STM OC-48/STM-16 (CBR2G5) OC-192/STM-64 (CBR10G)

18 MEF IP Project

19 IP Service Attributes Project Industry Challenge: No standard definition of IP Services IETF defines a lot of control plane technology Little consideration of how to operationalize (particularly inter-provider) Project: Define Service Attributes for Managed IP Services IP VPNs and Internet Access End-to-end (subscriber) and inter-provider (operator) service attributes Analogous to EVC/UNI and OVC/UNI/ENNI attributes for CE Why do this? Enable on-demand, dynamic Third Network IP services Requires standardized APIs and orchestration across network domains Enable on-demand, dynamic IP service creation and service assurance 19

20 Subscriber IP Service - VPN Service attributes for UNI, IPVC, IPVC End Point UNI Service Provider IPVC UNI IPVC EP Subscriber Branch Office Subscriber Head Office IPVC EP IPVC EP UNI Subscriber Branch Office 20

21 Subscriber and Operator IP Services Subscriber IP Services Attributes defined for VPN and Cloud Access services Includes Internet Access and Private Cloud Access Re-using UNI construct from Ethernet services UNI is the demarcation of responsibility between the Service Provider and Subscriber Operator IP Services Re-using ENNI construct from Ethernet services ENNI is the demarcation of responsibility between the Operators 21

22 Subscriber IP Service Cloud Access Internet Access or Private Cloud Access E.g., AWS, Google Cloud Could consist of only a single UNI Cloud Service Provider or DC UNI IPVC Service Provider Subscriber 22

23 Operator IP Service Service Provider uses another operator to reach a off-net subscriber UNI to deliver IP Service Service Provider UNI UNI Service Provider Operator 1 Network ENNI IP Operator Service (IPVC) IP Operator Service (IPVC) IP Subscriber Service (IPVC) 23

24 Problems Being Addressed by IP Services Project Multi-provider L3 VPNs are a particular pain point No standards for peering mechanism, QoS, SLS, etc. Bilateral agreements required with each peering Service Provider No automation Different manual process required for each peering Service Provider Each Service Provider has a unique implementation LSO abstractions, APIs (technical & business), automation applied 24
