GNE (Gateway Network Element)
When designing management network, its recommended to have at least 2 GNEs per
network. This is because the network will still be under management even when 1 GNE
fails.

Network Size
There are 2 types of SDH NE within OSI network, V1 (Version 1) and V2 (Version 2).
-SMS-150A/ 150R/ 150T/ 150L/ 600W/ 600W2/ 600T/ 600R/ 2500T/ 2500R are known as V1
-SMS-150V/ 600V/ 2500A/ 2500R2 are known as V2.
In addition, this document treats with the network design involving WDM NE (Spectral Wave) as well as U-Node.
Maximum number of NEs (including router) which can be placed in one area:
- 60 NEs for V1/V2 equipments (limitation by agent function);
- 150 NEs for U-Node/DWDM equipments.
Maximum number of OSI node (NE, Router etc), which can be located on the same LAN is
- 12 for V2 equipments and
- 6 for DWDM and U-Node.

HOP number
What is HOP number?
HOP number is the number of nodes that passes through when transmitting data from
INC-100 to NE. In other words, HOP number is equal to number of NEs and Routers
that passed through during transmission.

LAN CAPACITY
The maximum number of OSI node (NE, Router etc) which can be located on the
same LAN needs to be considered. Considering performance of Agent/MCIA unit
of SDH NE, we must keep the number of OSI node (NE, Router etc) on the same
LAN less than the specified. Increasing of OSI nodes on the LAN causes over
crowding of protocol level packet, and unexpected trouble would be generated.
OSI
LAN CAPACITY
Following is a list of the notices for designing of the managed network for WDM and U-
Node NEs, especially different point from SDH NEs case.
Maximum number of NE which you can locate on the same LAN connection:
- Maximum of 6 including Router and other vendors equipment.
This limitation is due to TARP packets characteristic.
(Note) In the case of SDH NE, maximum number of NE that you can locate on the same
LAN is 12.

NSAP address
NSAP address is composed of 2 parts, IDP and DSP. IDP is also divided into 2 parts, AFI and IDI.
SDH V1/ V2 recognizes DSP as 3 parts, HO DSP, System ID and SEL. Usually ADI+IDI+HO DSP is used as an
area address and System ID as ID. SEL has a fixed value of 01.
Example
[ADI:49]+[IDI: none] + [DSP: 0000|1111|2222|3333|4444|5555|6666|7777|8888|01]
To make this as Local address, first 2 octets of DSP has to be inputted as IDI.

NSAP address format for WDM and U-Node NEs is different from one for SDH NE that you
can set any format as follows;

IP ADDRESS
(*): The value of 2 is subtracted from the host address because a total of two addresses
(where all bits of the
host address are 0 and 1) have a special meaning.
An IP address has a hierarchical structure. The first half of an address (higher-order bytes) serves
as the identifier of a network associated with the equipment (network address). The latter half of
the address (lower-order bytes) serves as an identifier of equipment in a network (host address).
An IP address is categorized as Class A to Class E depending on the location of the split between
network address and host address. There is a corresponding relationship between each class and
the highest byte.

Number of HOP
Number of HOP
The number of HOP indicates the number of networks passed by network equipment in order to reach a
specific network.
The figure below shows the method of calculating the number of HOP. The dashed line area in the figure below
indicates a network, and the number of HOP from R1 to this network is indicated on the right side of the dashed
line area. In this example, the number of HOP from R1 to PC1 is 4.
TCP/IP
RIP
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version 1 is one of the routing protocols. Since the implementation of
RIP version 1 is easy and the processing load is light, it is applied to SDH NE.The routing method of RIP is
performed in the following manner: 1) a router informs the number of HOP required to reach each network (the
number of networks the data passes through until it reaches this network) every 30 seconds to its adjacent
router, and 2) each router calculates the shortest path based on this information. If the information is not
updated from the adjacent router within the designated period, it is assumed that the path to a network via this
router is unreachable, and a new path is calculated. Networks with more than 16 HOP are also assumed as
being unreachable (infinite distance and no data is transferred to this network).
The figure below shows the connection configuration of NE in a management network and the calculation
method of the number of HOP. As far as NE are concerned, the number of HOP to a network to which the LAN
port is connected is defined as the number of HOP until the NE of that network.

AGENT functions/performance constraints
The GNE shown in figure sends network data using RIP at the server side. This RIP contains 4 entries (192.1.2.0,
192.1.3.0, 192.1.100.0, 192.1.101.0).

AGENT Performance
AGENT Performance Problems
Management network designing come with a precondition that all data must be transferred even when there is a
maximum load. Tests have confirmed each NE can only transfer 10 Kbytes of data per second because of the
throughput limit in the DCCr port of its AGENT. When the data transfer volume reaches maximum, an alarm is
automatically transmitted to the NMS Server from each NE. The figure below shows the processing delay during
data transfer.
Conditions:
Reception of ACK TAT at NMS Server : 10 msec.
Transfer delay using DCC of NE : 30 msec.
Size of one packet from NE : 150 bytes
Alarm transmission processing delay at NE : Can be ignored.
OSI & TCP/IP
AGENT Performance
If the data transfer volume of an NE is Dn, and the number of NEs the data has to pass
through until it reaches the NMS Server is n, then Dn can be calculated using the
following formula.
Therefore, the data D, arriving at a GNE that is connected with N+1 units in a linear
formation, can be expressed as follows.
OSI & TCP/IP
AGENT Performance
Data flow is known as the amount of automatic response that flows when error occurs. More data
flows through DCC port as number of NE increases, and it is important to keep it under limit,
which is 10 Kbytes/sec. As long as it is kept under limit, there is no necessity to make any
alternative route using Router, Bridge etc. Here is a way of calculating such value.
When automatic response is generated, Round Trip Time (T) is calculated as follows;
It requires 30 ms to pass through 1 NE V1 or V2, 28.7 ms in case of DWDM and U-Node and
14.3 ms for U-Node regenerator. Automatic response is only generated after receiving
acknowledgement from INC-100.
It requires 10msec to acknowledge automatic response from each NE at INC-100.
Number of NEs that passes through from INC-100 to target NE is counted as N.

If there is error in any line, Path status (for every Path) will be reported to NMS. If there are 500 Path,
there will be alarm on both side of the Path and Path status (more than 2000 Auto-reports) of both sides
will be reported to NMS. (After the situation is recovered, once again, more than 2000 Auto-reports will be
