Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR and facilitates the reuse of selected MDAs to mini- mize CAPEX. Designed for smaller points of presence (PoPs), hub sites and enter- prise offices, the Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR family gives service providers, cable MSOs and enterprise customers a com- petitive edge by allowing them to right-size their infrastructure buildouts with a fully featured router in a smaller footprint. The Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR family is also an ideal solution for enter- prise customers in key vertical markets, such as government, utilities and trans- portation, that need to provide more secure, reliable and manageable data services for their end users. Available in two modular chassis sizes that support up to 4 or 12 interface cards, the Alcatel- Lucent 7710 SR offers a wide range of interface options using compact media adapters (CMAs) and selected MDAs with unmatched service performance.
All products in the Alcatel-Lucent SR family are based on the carrier-grade, production-hardened Alcatel-Lucent Service Router Operating System (SR OS), which is designed to deliver residential, business and mobile services with optimal cost-effectiveness.
Alcatel-Lucent SR SONET/ SDH MDAs
The SONET/SDH MDAs provide the critical high-speed, high-density service interfaces required for a new wave of next-generation IP-based services. Table 1 lists the SONET/SDH MDAs that are supported by the Alcatel-Lucent
The Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR supports the 8-port OC-3c/STM-1c MDA and the 2-port OC-48c/ STM-16c MDA, as listed in Table 1. Each MDA requires an MDA carrier module (MCM), which is a small hot-pluggable module that fits across two standard Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR I/O positions. Each MCM accepts one MDA as a daughter module. The Alcatel- Lucent 7710 SR-c4 supports up to two MDAs while the 7710 SR-c12 supports up to six MDAs, with a throughput rate of up to 4.4 Gb/s per MDA (full duplex) to each control and forwarding module (CFM).
SONET/SDH MDAs provide:
•Interface speeds from OC-3/ STM-1c to OC-192/STM-64c
•High interface density — up to 320 OC-3c/STM-1c or OC-12c/ STM-4c ports per Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR-12 chassis
•Multiple-rate OC-3c/OC-12, STM-1c/ STM-4c, and software selectable on a per-port basis
•Multimode and single-mode media types
•SFP optics for added flexibility and optimal slot utilization
•Optical link budget, supporting distances up to 85 kilometers (52.8 miles)
•In-service removal and insertion
F E A T U R E S
The SONET/SDH MDAs support the full scope of the Alcatel-Lucent SR OS feature set, including:
•Flexible, high-performance services:
¬virtual private LAN service (VPLS)
¬BGP/MPLS VPN (based on RFC 4364) and IP-VPN services
¬dedicated Internet access services
¬Ethernet, frame relay and ATM virtual private wire (VPWS) services
•High-performance IP and MPLS tunneling
•Rich MPLS multiservice transit capabilities
•Flexible Fast Path technology, providing up to 10 Gb/s packet processing with service headroom
•Tens of thousands of configurable ingress/egress access control lists (ACLs)
•Scalable BGP, OSPF and IS-IS routing with traffic-engineering extensions
•Per-service hierarchical quality of service (H-QoS), with up to 8,000 ingress and egress queues per MDA and 200-ms buffering up to 10 Gb/s
•Granular, per-service accounting and billing
•Extensive operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) tools for service-aware troubleshooting and faster service activation
