G.8010/Y.1306 (02/2004) i ITU-T Recommendation G.8010/Y.1306 Architecture of Ethernet layer networks Summary This Recommendation describes the functional architecture of Ethernet networks using the modelling methodology described in ITU-T Recs G.805 and G.809. The Ethernet network

8、functionality is described from a network level viewpoint, taking into account an Ethernet network layered structure, client characteristic information, client/server layer associations, networking topology, and layer network functionality providing Ethernet signal transmission, multiplexing, routin

9、g, supervision, performance assessment, and network survivability. The functional architecture of the server layer networks used by the Ethernet network is not within the scope of this Recommendation. Such architectures are described in other ITU-T Recommendations or IETF RFCs. This Recommendation i

10、s based on the Ethernet specifications in IEEE Standards 802.1D-2003, 802.1Q-2003 and 802.3-2002, and developments of provider bridged networks. Furthermore, the architectural aspects of provider bridges currently being defined in IEEE P802.1ad task force are taken into account. This Recommendation

11、defines the Ethernet maintenance entities, but the specific impact on the transport functions of connection monitoring in a connectionless layer network is not addressed. Ethernet network survivability is intended for inclusion in a future version. This Recommendation is the first of a series of Eth

12、ernet and Ethernet over Transport-related Recommendations. Other Recommendations in this series will address e.g., equipment, OAM, service, performance aspects.

13、on A.8 procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. G.8010/Y.1306 (02/2004) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for

14、 studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study

15、 groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis w

16、ith ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory pro

17、visions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of

18、such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no posi

19、tion concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, prote

20、cted by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. ITU 2004 All rights reserved.
