CP-TA™Building Block Level Interoperability Certification Program

(Interop Requirements, Test Procedures and Tools)

RES: Taxonomy & Requirements Enumeration

CPCP--TA Overview:TA Overview:CP-TA is an association of communications platform and building block providers dedicated to accelerating mainstream adoption of SIG-governed, open specification-based communications platforms through interoperability testing and certification.

CPCP--TA Value Proposition:TA Value Proposition:Network Equipment Providers• Faster time-to-market• Lower integration costs• Alternative sourcing and product choice• Economies of scale through mainstream

COTS adoptionService Providers• Faster time-to-revenue• Lower operational costs• Alternative sourcing and product choice

“Creating interoperability requirements that recommend standards options and certifying compliance with those requirements, as CP-TA proposes, is crucial to the success of efforts like AdvancedTCA.”

- Fred S. Cook, Sprint/Nextel

Requirements for Network Deployment

High availability — this is telco equipmentSensible FRU size — 120 to 480 ports

Depends on application, recovery time

ScalabilityEquipment at the edge (distributed) vs. in the network (centralized) — smaller systemsCentral offices being replaced by regional switching centers — larger systems

NEBSIntegration with network management systems3G IMS

Telco Goal — High Availability

Reliable service — four-nines (99.99%) availabilityUnavailable for 52.56 minutes per year

OK for data center servicesSystems designed with reliable components including software

Highly available (HA) service — five-nines (99.999%) availability

Unavailable for 5.25 minutes per yearRequirement for telco switches; service platforms

No system can be down waiting for repairHA systems require redundancy

Availability = 1- (MTTR/(MTBF+MTTR))MTTR must be small

Two Approaches to Scalability and Reliability

PCI boards in serversScale by adding more serversServer is single point of failureN+1 servers for redundancy

Blades in chassisScale by adding bladesBlade is single point of failureEfficient use of space, heat, and powerN+1 blades for redundancyBlades evolving from cPCI to ATCA

Client API

All functions are asynchronousThin, stateless client

Multi-blade applications require multiple threadsMinimum one thread per blade

Source code providedHighly portable, validation tool providedCan be used with compiler of choicePOSIX interface and sockets requiredSupports versioning between client and serverBig Endian or Little Endian OS support at compile time

Client API

API call/queuing model same as Natural AccessOpen a queue to receive eventsAPI calls are converted to messages to the blademcsWaitEvent waits on a queue

Parameter management Parameter management is performed through OAM CLIPer Subsystem parameters and per port parameters

NA-MX High Availability Features

Supports active and backup clientsMaintains contexts during failover from active to backup Performs failure detection between client and bladePerforms on-board failure detectionSupports SCTP protocol for multi-homing; failoverAPI calls to minimize the amount of time a client takes to fail over from blade to blade

OAM Model

OAM presents four methods for managing a bladeNatural Access MX API callsCommand Line Interface (password protected)SNMPHTTP (future release)

OAM allows management of parameters traditionally supported by CT Daemon

Most configurations can be changed without rebooting the bladeOAM will allow for graceful shutdown of services for the purpose of reconfiguring the blade

Continued

OAM Model

Configuring on-blade resourcesDescribe your application requirements, e.g., number of TDM timeslots, number of RTP flows, types of vocoders requiredDuring configuration, define pools of resources with user-defined names and profilesUse API to attach to resources by using pool namesAPI will provide default behaviors for resource managementSimilar definition language than Natural Access

Endpoints (EPT)

The basis of all media processing functions in NA-MX is an endpoint

RTP endpoints represent a flow of data via RTP into/out of the bladeTDM endpoints represent a flow of data via TDM into/out of the bladeI-TDM endpoints represent I-TDM data flows Endpoints support DTMF, call progress, and tone detection APIsRTP endpoints support RFC 2833 and T.38

Connections (MCT)

Natural Access MX API has high level switching callUsed to associate a TDM endpoint with a play/record endpointUsed to associate an RTP endpoint with play/recordUsed to associate RTP or TDM or I-TDM endpoints with a conferenceUsed to create a TDM to RTP gatewaySwitching TDM or RTP flows via RTP to a speech recognition serverSupport for barge in, in conferences and gateways

Conferencing (MCN)

Conferencing API is asynchronousAdding members may require waiting for eventsMultiple members may be added without waiting for individual eventsEvents are required for functionality that uses member queries or for leaving the conference

Conferencing differences from Natural Access to Natural Access MX

Adding members automatically switches them inNo H.100 switching requiredTone clamping, echo cancellation, DTMF clamping is implemented as part of the general API

Play/Record Features Supported (VPR)

Play/record to remote file systemSupported file system: CIFS and NFSURL specifies file locationsSmall subsystem cache also provided; works in LRU modeSimple API; play list of files, record a fileIntegrated native play and recordVOX file format supportedVCR controls supportedOn-blade CompactFLASH for prompt storage

Call Control (MCC)

Configuring protocols through OAMSpecify an interface and protocol to run (trunk(s) or Ethernet) to start a protocol

Define a name for that protocol instanceAccess the instance of the protocol via API, by specifying the name of the protocol instance

SIP and ISDN supportedSIP supported as an IP call control protocol

Protocol statistics and state available through OAM

Continued

Call Control (MCC)

Channelized and non-channelized versions supportedOpen a line to perform place call functionsA call handle will be returned

Call DefinitionA call handle allows you to perform all other actions; transfer call, disconnect call

Redundancy Considerations

“Hot” backup vs. “ready” backup (call state)Maintaining the call vs. losing the call on failoverSometimes the call is lost anyway (media blade failures)Size of FRU — how many calls to have at riskLoad sharing — can be done at blade level or facility level (disaster tolerance)
