All Rights Reserved 4 Converged Transport Technology Choices - Ethernet Transport IEEE 802.1ad (Provider Bridges / QinQ) Most commonly implemented Ethernet service delivery technology S-VLAN ID (S-VID) used to identify 4095 services Uses customers MAC address for forwarding RSTP or MSTP for protection/restoration IEEE 802.1ah (Provider Backbone Bridges) I-SID used to identify 16M services B-VLAN ID (B-VID) used to identify backbone tunnel RSTP or MSTP for protection/restoration Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) Backbone tunnels (working and protected) identified via globally unique 60 bit B-VID+Destination MAC address Can use GMPLS to pre-provision protected tunnel Disables Ethernet control plane (BPDUs) Can use GMPLS (g-LSPs) as control plane for simplified tunnel provisioning RSVP-TE for CAC for deterministic QoS and BW management
