With the constantly increased network status of the data communication equipment of our company, which widely covers network access layer, convergent layer, core layer, and core backbone layer, we should provide entire network solutions. DCN is an important network for carriers. With the wide application of our equipment in DCN, we should have a better understanding of DCN and master the key points in DCN design planning to construct better DCN for clients and increase its expandability.

Definition of DCN
l The full name of DCN is Data Communication Network:

[ Its initial definition is the network for carriers to carry out out-band network management.The actual DCN covers various services of carriers.For example SPC switch NM, transmission NM, billing system, and OA.
l DCN is used to connect Network Elements (NE) and corresponding

Operation Support System (OSS), which is an important network between the network providing service and the network operation center.
l DCN is the nervous system! of the carriers, with the characteristics of

physical entity network, virtual service network !. Comparing with service networks of carriers (for example 169 network), DCN does not need a very high broadband, but has a high demand for network security, reliability, and manageability.

Development of DCN
l OSN (Operation Support Network):

[ DCN can be seen as a subset of OSN, or DCN is the main part of current OSN. Before IP networks are widely used, DCN/OSN has existed already, just not through IP. But X.25 protocol has been widely used in 1980s, and X.25 once played an important role in OSN, for the above historical reasons, current DCN is impossible IP Only.
l DCN has become a comprehensive network with IP service as its main

service and compatible with X.25, and Async at the same time.
l Standard of DCN ITU-T G.7712/Y.1703 (Architecture and specification

of data communication network, DCN).


l This protocol is a regulation and guide document on DCN framework

and construction

Development of DCN
l For example, past MSC switch provided X.25 NM interface, but

now it provides IP-based Ethernet interface.


l Traditional telecom service should be changed into IP based NM,

which has become a tendency.


l Previous DCN, constrained by different protocols (X.25, Async),

may be comparatively independent physically in practice. X.25 is a network, and Async is another network.
l Currently IP-based DCN has integrated the above networks into a

large DCN

DCN integrated with X.25


l To integrate OSN (mixed with X.25, Async, and IP) into an IP-

based DCN, corresponding technical supports are needed.


l Such kind of technology is usually applied in lower end router

at access layer.

DCN integrated with X.25 "- X2T


l

X2T (X.25 to TCP Translation) [ The principle and implementation methods of X2T scheme. X2T implements direct mutual translation between X.25 and TCP packet. Pure X.25 packet from X.25 network queries address translation list based on called party X.121 address, and triggers setting up TCP connection with the designated IP address. After setting up TCP connection, a router will extract pure data from X.25 packet and send them to IP host side through TCP connection.

Equipment: [ A Router supporting X2T; [ An X.25 Terminal server which can run X25 application, supporting x25 protocol, connected in X25 network; [ An IP Host, supporting/IP, connected in IP network.

National DCN can be divided into two layers "- core layer and convergence layer. Considering redundancy and disaster prevention, generally, one core node is not enough. As shown in the diagram above, there are two core nodes, which are in different cities geographically. Convergence layer is used to access to province and region/city, and the link is POS or E1, or binding of multiple E1s. Convergence layer routers geographically are in different provinces, through which connect with provincial network routers. This is for management consideration. The link between national network convergence layer and provincial network router is the division interface of national and provincial network. Provincial network takes charge of the management and maintenance of the lower part, while national network the upper part.

Typical networking of DCN


l l

Provincial DCN is the main part of DCN; Provincial DCN is used to connect national DCN and municipal DCN and at same time, connect the services of different provincial networks, for example, carriers# centralized billing and NM service. Provincial DCN itself can be divided into two layers, core layer, and access layer, core router of the core layer. Access layer includes layer-three switch, mainly used for access to server and PC of various services within provincial networks. As a connection between a province and a region/city, access layer router may be in a region/city physically, and is also the management boundary point between a province and a region/city. The distance between provincial core router and provincial distribution layer router is far, so generally the link between them is POS 155/622, and even E1. Provincial core router generally is NE80, Cisco 12000 series or Juniper M160 Layer-three switch of a provincial distribution layer can be S8500, S8016, and S6500 series. Provincial distribution layer router can be NE40, NE20, NE16/8,M20, M10, Cisco 7500,and Cisco 7200. All rights reserved Page 19

is called MDCN.
l DCN is a private network of carriers, on which there are various operation

support services of carries. At the same time it is a pilot network for carriers, all new features of data communication may be on trial first by carriers in DCN.
l DCN is a private network, so theoretically its IP address and AS numbers

can be allocated at will. But in practice, carriers have corresponding regulations on IP address, AS numbers, and service name, which should be abided by in design planning.

In municipal DCN, a router reflector is adopted, which is taken charge of by municipal DCN core layer equipment. The router reflector has redundancy setting, and configured with Cluster-id. Convergent layer equipment acts as the client of reflector. IBGP uses loopback to establish neighborhood relationship. Multi-egress load sharing should be considered, it can be into two cases: VRP version supports BGP load sharing, and VRP version does not support BGP load sharing. All rights reserved Page 25

Typical networking of DCN - IGP


l IGP router protocol that used most in practice is OSPF. l There is the case that the whole provincial network runs EIGRP (Cisco

private router protocol, enhanced IGRP) in early DCN.


l But carriers will consider the coordination between different manufacturers,

so they have changed the principle "- don#t put all eggs in one basket !.
l When BGP province and region/city have the same AS, provincial and

municipal networks may be in the same OSPF domain, and all in Area 0. There will be no problem if only from the largest router numbers one Area can support. One internal-province router is double-digit order of magnitude.
l In addition, different carriers or provinces may have different cases, so the

relationship between province and region/city may be EBGP neighborhood relationship, may be not.

Cost Value and Load Sharing


l

On IGP link COST value, united rules are recommended. Refer to the following recommended value: Interface type GE 155M POS 100M FE 10M ETHERNET N!E1 Cost 1 7 10 100 500/N

COST value at Loopback interface usually is 1.


l

Usually there exist the following two load-sharing technologies: [ 1) Per-Packet: rotates output interfaces to send packet, with effective load sharing. But the packet with the same session may start off at different interfaces and different paths will result in disorder. [ 2) Per-Flow: distributes service flow to different output interfaces based on certain rules, for example (source IP +Destination IP) /N, and N is the router number of load sharing. It has effective load sharing, and at the same time it ensures the packet with the same session to start off at the same interface with the same path.

Equipment from different manufacturers with different models, supports different types and numbers of load sharing technologies, which should be considered when the equipment cooperates with each other.

MPLS VPN Design Change of IP Address


l l l

When re-planning the IP addresses, consider the following points: Re-allocate addresses based on service types that are defined by carriers. Allocate address segment based on IP address numbers occupied by each service type on each node, at the same time consider the possible added numbers in the future. Ensure IP addresses are enough to be allocated and certain address segments have been reserved, then reserve fully. For future expandability, divide IP addresses strictly based on service types. Carriers may operate several VPNs in practice, and many services may be divided into one VPN as a large category, but not excluding the possibility that in the coming future single item or several items of services will be classified separately into one VPN. If dividing IP addresses strictly based on service types, we need not to re-allocate IP addresses again when the demands above appear." Though allocating IP addresses should be based on service types, we should follow the default principle in actual application. If the IP addresses are enough, do not multiplex IP address segment. Though VPN address composed of RD+IP address can distinguish multiplexing addresses, don#t use this way as far as possible. In addition, DCN featured in that itself is a large private network, and many addresses are available.

but most of times Internet access should be in the LDCN of each region/city (with the management right is gradually transferred to the upper, Internet egress of the carriers# DCN can only be found in national network in the future).
l Refer to modes of public network access for Internet access. There are several

ways for option.

VPN Mutual Access in MPLS VPN


l Mutual access between VPNs is a headache in DCN designing. VPN is

designed just for isolating different services and mutual access, but in actual application, for some historical reasons and practical requirements, this kind of mutual access is often needed.
l The most fearful mutual access is that all VPNs can access mutually, thus

VPN will totally lose its meaning. VPN in this kind of application is useless except that it looks pretty!. In addition, it will waste the equipment of the whole network (CPU, MEM, convergence speed and delay) and broadband resource.
l Our design planning is to guarantee users # VPN application will not get into

the above state, and ensure users will really benefit from their investment.
l Guide users, explain the problem and try to find solution together

VPN Mutual Access in MPLS VPN


l

Mutual access demand of each VPN generally should be confined within several servers. For example, in financial VPN, one server may require mutual access with a billing server, while in OA an anti-virus server requires all VPN can access it. Refer to the solution in MPLS VPN for servers# mutual access with certain limited numbers in VPN, or consider dividing the servers with this kind of requirement into one VPN, just as the centralized access of center VPN mode above.

In DCN, two modes, Option A or Option B, are usually adopted. Option A configuration is simple and not necessary to consider the compatibility of different manufactures.
