Hardware module type

IOM Input/Output Module (IOM3-XP is a new generation, equipped with FP2 self-developed chip): Each IOM can carry up to 2 MDAs and can also accommodate MS-ISA business processing boards; ESS -1 does not support independent IOM.

MDA media adapter board: physical interface daughter card, universal for all chassis; MDA-XP supports SyncE synchronous Ethernet; Supports gigabit/ten gigabit electrical ports, optical ports, adjustable DWDM optical modules, and POS/SONET-SDH traditional interfaces. The highest density of the entire machine rack is 2880 GE ports or 360 10GE ports.

IMM Integrated Media Module: Integrating processing chips and physical interfaces on a single board, providing high-density 10G/40G/100G interfaces, using FP2 chips.

MS-ISA Multi Service Integration Business Adapter (not supported by ESS -1): Provides L3-L7 deep service processing, supports DPI deep message detection, application recognition and control, IPTV fast channel switching, retransmission and other value-added services to achieve business monetization.

FP2 chip capability: Supports in-situ upgrading to 100G full duplex slots on existing chassis without the need for complete machine replacement (no forklift upgrade), fully protecting hardware investment.

Hardware redundancy and hot plugging

The main control switching matrix SF/CPM, power PEM-3, fan, IOM, MDA, and MS-ISA all support hot plugging;

Power supply 1+1 redundancy; Different chassis adopt various airflow cooling schemes such as side to side, side to back, and front to back.

Interface support

Ethernet: 10M-100G, SFP/XFP/CFP/QSFP+, RJ45 electrical port; MDA-XP supports SyncE synchronous Ethernet for mobile backhaul time synchronization;

Traditional SONET/SDH POS: OC-3/12/48/192; Support CES circuit simulation and ATM interface (requires advanced IP service mode to be enabled);

Adjustable DWDM 10 Gigabit MDA, used for urban wavelength division direct connection.

Software: SR-OS operating system

The 7450 ESS and 7750 SR routers use the exact same SR-OS operator operating system, with unified business definition and operation and maintenance across the entire network.

High availability capability (carrier level uninterrupted business)

ISSU business does not interrupt software upgrades;

Uninterrupted routing NSR, uninterrupted service NSS, and full state fault switching in case of failure;

Multi chassis LAG, APS automatic protection;

Ethernet ring protection: ITU-T G.8031 (point-to-point protection), G.8032 (Ethernet ring network protection);

MPLS FRR fast rerouting, BFD bidirectional forwarding detection, PW pseudowire redundancy, Graceful Restart; All businesses continue to forward traffic even in the event of a control plane failure.

QoS: Hierarchical QoS

Hardware implementation of multi-level shaping, speed limit, and labeling; Support business queues and network queues; With fine granularity, it can strictly implement SLA service level agreements, and simultaneously carry video and voice, key enterprise businesses, and ordinary Internet traffic.

OAM operation and maintenance fault detection

Complete Ethernet/MPLS/IP OAM toolset: ITU-T Y.1731, IEEE802.1ag, IEEE802.3ah, E-LMI, built-in SAA service agent for connectivity, performance, and fault detection.

Management Suite 

5620 SAM Service Aware Manager: Core network management, unified management of network elements, networks, and services;

5650 CPAM: Control Plane Assurance Manager;

5670 RAM Report Analysis Manager; It can complete business activation, fault location, performance statistics, and SLA monitoring.

Product brings business benefits

Increase business revenue: Powerful PBB/VPLS/BGP-VPLS, large-scale deployment of layer 2 VPN; Simultaneously providing IP VPN three-layer services; MS-ISA provides DPI and IPTV value-added services; Layered QoS ensures high-value service SLA.

Large scale ubiquitous business coverage: integrating Ethernet and MPLS TE, deploying VPLS/BGP VPLS across metropolitan and regional areas; BGP VPLS supports cross operator docking; Unified platform for residential, corporate, and mobile data transmission.
