IntroductionThis paper focuses on provisioning of the Ethernet
aggregation to support Triple Play services
What’s this about?- About QoS provision in Metro Ethernet- Traffic representation models for triple play components- Configuration method of VLANs in Metro Ethernet for triple
play
(3) DPNM Lab.Paper Presentation – CS 702, Fall 2007
Triple Play in Metro NetworksPromising Technology: Metro Ethernet
- IEEE 802.1Q QoS standard, 8 QoS classes to the Ethernet- Scalability by segmenting the network into independent
Virtual LANs (VLANs), representing a different broadcast domain
802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)- Defines a loop-free logical forwarding topology over the
meshed physical topology- Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) decreases the
failover time to a few seconds
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)- The VLANs are uniquely associated to the MSTIs inside a
region while one MSTI aggregates the traffic of more VLANs
(4) DPNM Lab.Paper Presentation – CS 702, Fall 2007
QoS Provisioning in Metro Ethernet Real Time (RT), Streaming, Transactional, and Best Effort (BE)
- Diffserv, compatibility with TIU-T and 3GPP
- 802.1Q compliant switches
Hypothetical assumption: 10% for RT, 20% for Streaming, 30% for Transactional classes- VoIP = RT
- IPTV = Streaming
- HIS = BE
Acronyms- Network Management Entity (NME)
- Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs)
- Policy Decision Point (PDP)
- High Speed Internet Access (HSI)

Network Architecture for Triple Play
Policy based management model- A policy is a set of rules controlling how to access to and set the
priorities for the use of resources
The pipe for VoIP is a point-to-point bidirectional pipe
The Video service uses an unidirectional multicast pipe- While the HIS service is a point-to-point pipe with asymmetric
allocated capacity
(6) DPNM Lab.Paper Presentation – CS 702, Fall 2007
VoIP Service: Call Level Multiplexing The well-known Erlang-B formula determines the
number of simultaneous calls required to serve a fixed size of population with a defined blocking probability threshold- To provide an acceptable bound for call blocking probability
Then, the bandwidth of a VoIP TE-pipe can be known- Based on the number of parallel calls- Based on the bandwidth requirement of the assumed codec
(7) DPNM Lab.Paper Presentation – CS 702, Fall 2007
IPTV Service: Multicast in Metro Ethernet
Manual multicast filters based on VLAN or Ethernet multicast address- Service providers can configure Ethernet switches manually
with a multicast filter
Dynamic multicast forwarding:
Ethernet switches can also listen to the IGMP Join messages used by receivers to query for a multicast source- Or the use of GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol)
for interworking with IGMP, a few vendors
(8) DPNM Lab.Paper Presentation – CS 702, Fall 2007
HSI Service: Statistical Multiplexing (1/2)It does not exploit the provided bandwidth
- The bitrates of typical internet traffic generated by home users varies significantly
Related Works- F. Kelly [10] presented the theoretical basics of statistical
multiplexing aware dimensioning considering different traffic models
- S. Floyd [11] proposed a simple method to calculate the effective bandwidth for aggregation of independent traffic flows based on the Hoeffding bound
Large number of individual flows, the ratio of mean and peak rates are close to zero
- Suppose the individual traffic flows are independent and the aggregation has Gaussian distribution
Guerin [12]

HSI Service: Statistical Multiplexing (2/2)
Guerin [12] continues, as in (1)- A simple, effective model- Mean bit rates (m)- Standard deviation epsilon of the aggregation considered alpha- Bandwidth overflow probability can be adjusted by alpha
Deterministic multiplexing- The allocated capacity is the sum of the peak rates of the
individual flows

Proposed Configuration MethodA method for configuration of VLANs taking into
account the requirements of all three services
The author’s previous work focused on providing a formal model dealing with unicast TE pipes- To minimize the allocation of network resources for a set of
traffic demands and the number of used MSTIs- Presented an Integer Linear Program (ILP) formulation with
scalability problems
Heuristics for two subtasks- Pipe or VLAN routing and covering them with trees- Heuristic is needed: ILP model cannot deal with the non-
linearity by the statistical multiplexing
(11) DPNM Lab.Paper Presentation – CS 702, Fall 2007
Proposed Heuristic Algorithm (1/2)Inputs to the algorithm
- The topologies of the trees are combined from paths of the assigned VLANs
- QoS constraints and the demands
The method decomposes the problem to sequential search of VLAN routes and assignment to MSTIs- It adopts the Simulated Allocation (SAL) metaheuristic
Allocation operator- Randomly select one VLAN among the unassigned ones- Fit the VLAN to the already defined MSTIs- Otherwise, create a new MSTI and assigned to the VLAN
(12) DPNM Lab.Paper Presentation – CS 702, Fall 2007
Proposed Heuristic Algorithm (2/2)For unicast VLANs (VoIP and HSI) a single path is
sought from the access to the edge node
For multicast VLANs, the tree is determined by calculating independent shortest paths from each accesses to the sole target one after the other
Disconnection process- It selects the tree having the least assigned VLANs, and
remove it

Case Study (1/2)“Traffic drive” configuration method produces high
throughput gain in the topologies of practical interest [6]
The sizes of the demands depend on the overall throughput (OT) and the service ratio (SR) parameters- OT is responsible for the system-wide throughput- SR defines how to distribute the traffic between the classes
Assuming- VoIP traffic is 10%, video broadcast traffic is 30%, and the
best effort internet is 60%- The exact size of a demand is generated randomly with
Gaussian distribution
(14) DPNM Lab.Paper Presentation – CS 702, Fall 2007
Case Study (2/2)Taking the variance of the traffic into account ratios
of the mean and peak rates- PMR = b_peak / b_mean- VoIP = 1.0, Video = 1.2, Internet = 2.0
Evaluation of Results- Figure depicts the allocated capacities (or network load)- Considering statistical multiplexing, 20% higher throughput
can be achieved
Considering statistical multiplexing influences the paths calculated for VLANs- Statistical multiplexing becomes the part of the optimization
task

ConclusionsDue to cost considerations the Ethernet becomes
the most cost effective solution for regional and metropolitan networks
Presented a QoS service architecture over Metropolitan Ethernet networks- Based on traffic engineering logical channels (or pipes)
Main contributions- Propose an efficient algorithm for off-line configuration of
metro Ethernet networks for triple play- Multicast VLAN based trees to provide video broadcast
service- The gain of statistical multiplexing
