ITU-T G.808.3 (10/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommun
9、ications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunic
10、ations 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 groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedur
11、e 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 with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecomm
12、unication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these
13、 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 such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU d

20、1 Scope This Recommendation provides an overview of generic aspects of a shared mesh protection (SMP) mechanism for connection-oriented layer networks that does not depend upon the presence of a control plane. This mechanism is targeted for mesh network architectures, which offer further efficiencie
21、s in protection resource utilization. The primary characteristics of this path-based protection approach involve usage of pre-computation and pre-allocation of resources to maximize speed of recovery. The technology-specific shared mesh protection mechanisms will be defined in technology-specific Re
22、commendation(s). This version of the Recommendation provides an architecture framework for SMP. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

In an SMP,
32、 the protection resources are shared among two or more protection transport entities. Only one of these protection transport entities can use the shared protection resources at any point of time. 3.2.3 shared protection segment: A link between two SMP nodes, where the bandwidth resource on the link
33、is shared by multiple protection transport entities. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: APS Automatic Protection Switching NUT Non-pre-emptible Unprotected Traffic OTN Optical Transport Network P Protection Rec.

It should be noted that while the overall transport network may contain nodes that do not satisfy the above criteria (see left two nodes in example b) of Figure 1), such nodes would not be considered part of the portion of the transport network define
36、d as being a mesh. A fully meshed topology is one in which each node is directly connected to every other node in a network (see example c) of Figure 1). a) b) c) 1-a: Example of a mesh network 1-b: Example of a network, only a portion of which is meshed 1-c: Example of a fully meshed network Figure
37、 1 Examples of mesh network Most mesh transport networks are only partially meshed (as in example a) of Figure 1), with some nodes fully meshed and others connecting to one or more nodes, but not to all of them (i.e., their maximum number being less than the total number of nodes 1). While fully mes
38、hed network topologies offer the highest degree of survivability in the event of failures, they have the highest degree of transport resource redundancy. Most mesh transport networks are only partially meshed and generally require traversing intermediate nodes to go from each node to every other nod
39、e. 4 Rec. ITU-T G.808.3 (10/2012) 6.2 Capacity efficiency considerations Increased sharing of protection resources in mesh network architectures inherently allows for reduction of network costs by eliminating dedicated protection resources. Such architectures may also be designed according to the le
40、vel of “guaranteed protection“ and capacity efficiency desired by the operator, according to the grades of services offered. Capacity efficiency in mesh network architectures can be measured in various ways, including b-BLTJ.1999: i) The fraction of demands that can be protected given the network ca
41、pacities, point-to-point demands, and working path for each demand; ii) The needed network capacities for providing 100% protection given point-to-point demands and working path for each demand; or iii) The total network capacities for working and protection paths given point-to-point demands and pr
42、ovided 100% protection. The first approach involves finding protection paths for as many demands as possible under link capacity constraints in an existing network. This is distinguished from the latter two approaches, which assume that capacity planning is underway to assure 100% protection for all
43、 demands. It should be noted that at some point the desired degree of network resource optimization (resulting in insufficient link capacity) becomes inversely proportional to the degree of “guaranteed protection“ that can be offered. In real capacity-constrained situations, it is necessary to be ca
44、pable of prioritizing the demands and ensuring that those demands with high availability requirements are always assigned protection paths. Within this Recommendation, the focus is upon achieving maximal possible protection considering a given networks capabilities, including mechanisms for prioriti
45、zing demands to enable those demands with high availability requirements to be assigned protection paths. 7 SMP architecture types 7.1 SMP architecture overview SMP may be employed in fully meshed and partially meshed transport networks, which include, but are not limited to, long-haul and metro net
46、works. Depending on the degree of inter-connection between network nodes, SMP protection can significantly improve network resource utilization, as compared with alternative 1:1 protection mechanisms. An SMP architecture involves multiple normal traffic signals, where each signal is associated with
47、a working transport entity and one or more protection transport entities. SMP architecture is based upon m:1 protection (where m may be greater than or equal to one). In the m:1 SMP architecture, each working transport entity is protected by m protection transport entities. In this architecture, the
48、 working transport entity can be protected when one of the m protection transport entities is available. Each protection transport entity is constructed of one or multiple protection segments. The bandwidth of each protection segment can be shared by multiple protection transport entities. To preven
49、t a network failure from interrupting the protected normal traffic signal, it is recommended that all working transport entities that share protection resources should be disjoint. The shared bandwidth for the protection segment should be capable of supporting the largest of the corresponding protection transport entities. Rec.
