ATM/Ethernet 13
PlatformMSS 9400 Platform (CD6394)
This feature introduces an evolution to the successful Multiservice Switch7400 platform. Based on the Multiservice Switch 7480, it provides asystem with 14 FP slots and 2 CP/Fabric (CPF) slots. It also introduces anew CP/Fabric card based on new processor daughter cards. The CPFFabric terminates and switches 800 Mbps of traffic from each slot.
The new architecture will allow the direct re-use of most existingMultiservice Switch 7400 FPs, features and services. Please reference theMultiservice Switch 7400 and 9400 NTPs for specific information aboutwhich FPs are supported. This new platform is fully supported by thestandard PCR software stream and is fully integrated in MDM.
2pGE for MSS 7400 and 9400 (CD7074)This feature introduces a new 2-port Gigabit Ethernet (GE) (NTNS70AG)with optical interface on Multiservice Switch 7400 and 9400 platforms.In general, the FP supports the same services as the 4pGE on theMultiservice Switch 15000. The following are key capabilities:
• 2 full-duplex ports
• Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optics [SX, LX, and ZX]
• IEEE 802.3 compliant
• IEEE VLAN support (802.1Q)
• LAG (802.3ad)
• Port and VLAN statistic monitoring
• ATM Pseudowire capabilities
ATM/EthernetEgress p-bit IP Marking (CD6014)
The Ethernet p-bits egress marking feature builds on and enhancesthe traffic management capability of the Ethernet RFC2547 and VIPRnetworking solutions. The use of the p-bits will enable the support ofmultiple service classes into a single MSS Ethernet link. The EthernetUser Priority bits field (commonly referred to as p-bits) in the header ofIEEE 802.1Q tagged frames may be marked by the MSS network basedon layer 3 QoS indicators (packet’s IP DiffServ value or MPLS EXP bitsvalue) to communicate the frame class of service and/or drop precedenceto the optical Ethernet network. This feature is available on both the MSS7400 4pEth100BaseT and 8pEth100BaseT FPs, on the MSS 9400 2pGeFP, and on the MSS 15000 and 20000 4pGe FP

Wireless Backhaul Clock Synch (CD7034)This feature provides a timing service for Multiservice Switch wirelessbackhaul synchronization. The feature enhances the ATM and/or TDMPseudowire (PW) solutions by distributing the clocking information fromthe RNC-site Multiservice Switch Gateway to the remote cell-site devicesover the IP/Ethernet access network.
The Multiservice Switch Core Pseudowire node obtains its Master clockfrom the Network Clock Synchronization (NCS) system. This clock isthen distributed to the remote cell-site gateways using a special TimingPseudowire over the IP/Ethernet network. The cell-site gateways recoversthe master clock and uses it as the Transmit clock on the outgoing E1/T1interfaces to the 2G and 3G wireless stations.
This feature requires hardware capabilities introduced on the 4pGE FPversion NTPN49AG.
MaxVCC Increase for MS3 1pOC48 FP (CD7156)This feature increases the maximum supported connection number from16000 to 45000 in the 1-port OC-48/STM-16 mode of the NTHW46 FP.
ATM Call Redirection for EVLS (CD7157)This feature addresses the issue of resiliency of the destination CPEdevices by provisioning two destination addresses for an EVC SPVC:a primary address and a secondary (backup) address, for connectionsoriginating as part of the EVLS application. The connection is first routedto the destination using the primary destination address, and if it isunsuccessful, the secondary address is used.

CESDS0 Channelization on 4pOC3/STM-1ch CES FP (CD7754)
This feature introduces basic structured CES services to the 4 port OC- 3Channelized CES/ATM/IMA FP (NTPN27).
DS0 Channelization on 2pSTM-1 (CD7755)This feature introduces basic structured CES services to the 2 port STM-1Optical Channelized CES/ATM/IMA FP (NTNQ96).
IPIP Multicast Support on 4p/8pEth100BaseT (CD4034)
This feature enables the existing VIPR IP Multicast solution onthe Multiservice Switch 7400 and the Multiservice Switch 94004pEth100BaseT (NTNQ95xx) and 8pEth100BaseT (NTNQ92xx) EthernetFPs. This matches the capability already provided by other FPs.
IP Multicast support for 4p/8pEth100BaseT FPs is only implemented atport level LAN mode. No VLAN support is provided.
As well, this feature also provides IP Multicast on VpnXc card forMultiservice Switch 15000 and Multiservice Switch 20000.
IP Flow Classification for PQC (CD4134)This feature enables Service Providers to classify IP traffic arriving onsupported VIPR VR, RFC 2547 VRF, or RFC 2764 CVR PQC FP IPinterfaces using multi-field classification.
User-configured rules can be defined to mark the incoming packet’s DSCPbased on a combination of Layer 3 and 4 protocol header fields, such asTCP and UDP port numbers. The action resulting from classification is thepossible modification of the packet’s PHB and DSCP.
VIPR XC SNMP MIB Support (CD5634)This feature enables VIPR specific standard MIBs access when VIPRsolution is residing on XC. The set of standard MIBs supported isequivalent to those supported for the customer VRs in the VR componentdata model.
IP Flow Filtering for PQC (CD6354)The IP Flow Filtering feature enables the Service Provider to restrictadmission of IP packets arriving on VIPR, RFC2547, and RFC2764solutions on PQC2 and PQC12 FPs on the Multiservice Switch 7400,9400, 15000, and 20000 platforms.

16 New features and enhancements
Filter profiles are used to define a collection of user configurable rulesthat specify match criteria on combinations of the following fields: DSCP,IP protocol (e.g. TCP, ICMP), IP source and destination, and TCP/UDPport source and destination. Wildcarding and ranges are supported forLayer 3 and 4 packet fields. Each rule has a permit or deny action, and auser-configurable priority number. Any number of interfaces can share onefilter profile configured on the same VR or VRF.
RFC 2547/MPLSRFC2547 Route Reflector (CD6454)
This feature introduces Route Reflectors in a BGP/MPLS VPN network(RFS 2547 IP VPN solution) eliminating the need for the Service Providerto maintain a fully meshed network, hence improving the scalability of thenetwork. MPLS VPN route reflector deployments can be done in one oftwo ways. In both cases an eXtender Card (XC) is required.
Dedicated Multiservice 7400/9400:
In this deployment, the 7400/9400 is running the MPLS VPN route reflectorfunctions exclusively. Networking interfaces can be FE or supported ATMMPLS PQC FPs.
Multiservice Switch 15000, or 20000, P node with MPLS VPN routereflector:
In this deployment, a Multiservice Switch 15000, or 20000 P node can runthe MPLS VPN route reflector functionally. PE node functionality is notsupported with MPLS VPN route reflector functionality.
ATM Pseudowire with Cell Concatenation on GE (CD7075)This feature delivers the cell concatenation functionality as anenhancement to the ATM Pseudowire solution delivered in PCR 8.2(CD6814). Cell concatenation allows for multiple ATM cells to be placedinside one pseudowire packet leading to increased Ethernet link efficiency.
TDM Pseudowire over IP Tunnel on GE (CD7077)This feature enables the wireless network operators to replace existingexpensive TDM facilities with less costly IP/Ethernet transport. This featurebuilds on the Multiservice Switch Circuit Emulation Service (CES) overATM and ATM Pseudowire over IP Tunnel on 2pGE and 4pGE featuresenabling the consolidation of 2G and 3G traffic over the same packetnetwork infrastructure.

System 17
The feature supports transport of ingress TDM bits (including framing bitsif any) from each T1/E1 over a single PW connection. It also supportstransport of bits from N of DS0 timeslots in a T1/E1 frame over a singlePW connection.
ATM Pseudowire over IP Tunnel Enhancements (CD7535)This phase of the solution implements a number of significantenhancements to the ATM Pseudowire solution delivered in PCR 8.2.(CD6814) The enhancements increase network efficiency, solutionreliability, and network scalability.
The major enhancements are:
• Carrier Grade (hot CP switchover)
• QoS (user-configurable DSCP marking)
• Networking Enhancements (dynamic IP Routing, multiple RTRs)
• Platform (XC) support
• Scalability
• OAM Enhancements (FP fault propagation & BFD enhancements)
• Statistics enhancements
• Sequence number optionality
Dynamic CAS lspDB Display (CD7814)This feature enables the Multiservice Switch network operators todisplay, monitor, and examine MPLS Transport LSPs within MPLSnetwork and/or RFC2547 network. It meets the increasing demandsof needing to know real time dynamic MPLS and/or RFC2547 networktransportation information for network operations and maintenance,network troubleshooting, network performance assessments andevaluations.
SystemMSS File Checksum (CD2867)
This feature implements a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) mechanismto detect corrupted files that were transferred to the Multiservice Switch.The feature applies to:
• Application files transferred to the Multiservice Switch using the CASinterface.
• Provisioning files which were backed up off-switch and then transferredback to the Multiservice Switch via FTP.

18 New features and enhancements
Provisioning File Protection (CD7158)This feature expands the MSS File Checksum feature (CD2867) to coverprovisioning files of type asciiFlat. This feature also introduces an adminlevel provisionable attribute under the prov component which, when set,only allows provisioning view operations to proceed when the associatedprovisioning files have been saved with a checksum.
Standby CP PLL Integrity (CD7494)The Standby CP PLL Integrity feature enhances the visibility of the standbyCPs’ clock integrity. With this feature, if there is no proper clock sourceon the standby CP, the active CP cannot perform a CP switchover. Aswell, the feature introduces an automatic mechanism to switchover to thestandby CP if the network clock sync is lost on the active CP.
