Functions of PW
Functions of PW
Encapsulate the protocol data units (PDUs) specified by the service
from the logical or physical port on the PE side.
Carry the encapsulated packets to the transmit tunnel.
Set up PW at the tunnel end, including the exchanging and distribution
of PW IDs.
Perform the traffic monitoring in the ingress direction and traffic
shaping in the egress direction.
Manage signals, timing and sequence at the PW edge.
Manage the status specified by the service and alarms.
Why PWE3?
Generic label, which provides a uniform multi-service
network data transport platform and reduces the operating
cost
Investment protection, which provides the backward and
forward compatibility of network services
Private line emulation, which provides operators with
network services of great return.

PWE3-Related Concepts
L1/2 service: Ethernet, ATM and TDM
PSN: MPLS and IP
AC: Physical or logical CE-PE connection
Tunnel: Carries one or multiple pseudo wires (PW)
PWs are transparently transmitted in the core network
PWs are created through signaling (LDP)
PWE3-Related Concepts (Cont.)
PW control plane: Create and remove PWs and monitor the
status
PW forwarding plane: Convert the L1/2 header information
and transmit PDUs in sequence
MIB: Management Information Base, storage configuration
information.

SAToP
Principle
The SAToP mode does not detect any structure in the TDM circuit. It treats the
TDM circuit as a bit stream of a constant rate. One unit contains 8 bits. Cut a
certain length (reflected as loading time for the customer) from the TDM bit
stream and then load it to the emulation packet. The framing information and
channel information are not considered. Hence, the TDM service is
transparently transmitted.
Frame format

CESoPSN
Principle
The CESoPSN mode detects the frame structure, framing mode,
timeslot information in the TDM circuit. The payload of the TDM frame
is extracted first and the timeslot of each channel is added into the
packet payload according to a certain sequence.

ATM Service Payload
The types of encapsulation supported by the OptiX PTN product:
PSN Transport Header
It depends on the used tunnel technology and performs the packet
switching in the PSN network.
Pseudo Wire Header
It identifies the ATM service in a tunnel and it is the bottom of the label
stack in the MPLS.
ATM Control Word
It can be a length or sequence number and it is the control bit of the
transmitted service.

N-to-One Cell ATM Mode
The encapsulation format of a single cell is required (fast encapsulation), the
encapsulation format of multiple cells is optional.
The number of cells can be encapsulated is restrained by the management
capability of MTU and Egress PE (router).
VPI/VCI: The value of Ingress PE can not be changed, but the value of Egress PE
can be changed into a new value.
PTI/CLP: Retain the original cell value.
N-to-One Cell ATM Mode Description
One PW can carry one or more VPCs/VCCs. The format can be the single cell
format, or multiple cell encapsulation, which can enhance the bandwidth utilization.
The multiple cell encapsulation can enhance the bandwidth utilization, but it
causes network delay variation. In addition, the number of cells to be encapsulated
is determined by the MTU and CTD and CDV requirements of the ATM
connections multiplexed into the PW. Hence, the network environment and service
customization should be considered together.
The multiple VPCs/VCCs encapsulated in the PW may of different service types,
which are of different QoS requirements. Hence, the PSN packets should support
the highest level of the ATM service carried. To ensure the QoS of the PW, it is
recommended that one PW carry one VPC/VCC, or one PW carry the VPCs/VCCs
of the same QoS requirement.
