Abstract:

With IP/Ethernet traffic becoming the predominant traffic in the data center and mobile backhaul, we propose an unified multi-service capable Ethernet Transport Network(ETN) architecture targeting for carrying future data-center interconnect, metro and 5G mobile traffic. In addition to Ethernet's best effort delivery, the envisioned ETN provides the reliable delivery, deterministic low latency, and transport network slicing capability, rich Ethernet-friendly in-path OAM and multiplexing capabilities. We have designed and implemented ETN prototype 1RU-sized switch boxes using FPGA and the experimental evaluation of the ETN prototype switches demonstrates that ETN can provide hard traffic isolation for multiple types of service traffic, and low forwarding latency with very low packet delay variation.
