Page 66: Private Network-Network Interface (Pnni) 1.0
Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) 1.0 Overview The Private Network-to-Network Interface, known as PNNI, is a link-state routing information protocol that enables extremely scalable, full function, dynamic multivendor ATM switches to be integrated in the same network. It computes paths through a network by defining a method for distributing topology information between switches and clusters of switches.
Page 67: Pnni Peer Group Dynamics
Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces PNNI Peer Group PNNI performs these functions: Dynamics • Simplifies the configuration of large networks because it allows ATM switches to automatically learn about their neighbors and to distribute call routing information dynamically. • Allows switches to be arranged in a hierarchy, where each level represents one or more switches.
Page 68: Atm Maintenance
Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces In networks that use a PNNI hierarchy, the switches at each level elect one switch as a peer group leader (PGL). This PGL concurrently belongs to its own level and to the next highest level, where it acts as a logical group node (LGN) that represents and summarizes topology information needed to reach any of the lower-level switches.
Page 69: Integrated Link Management Interface (Ilmi)
Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces Integrated Link Management Interface (ILMI) The integrated link management interface (ILMI) is a network management function that supports bidirectional exchange of ATM interface parameters between two connected ATM Interface Management Entities (IMEs). These entities are an end user and a public or private network, or a public network and a private network.
Page 70: Atm Terminal Emulation
Chapter 3 System Features Network Management parameters for both IISP and PNNI routing. Load balancing between PNNI and IISP links, not available prior to this release, uses available bandwidth more efficiently while strengthening the routing function. ATM Terminal Emulation Terminal Emulation is an application that follows an intelligent computing device to mimic the operation of a dumb terminal for communications with a mainframe or minicomputer.
Page 71 Chapter 3 System Features Network Management features a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-compliant management information base (MIB) that gives external management systems access to the Multiservice Media Gateway system software. In conjunction with the visual indicators displayed on the front panels of the individual modules, the system offers a full complement of SNMP trap messages that alert the user to faults in the PSAX 4500 system.

Chapter 3 System Features Network Management host) running an SNMP client over an ATM WAN. This allows for IP- based functions (that is, telnet) and SNMP functions (that is, element and network management software) to be performed remotely using ATM virtual circuits, which terminate within the managed node. The PVC/SVC connection is set up using an I/O module with an ATM cell bearing port (for example, the OC-3c, STM-1, DS1, DS3, E1, and E3 modules).

Chapter 3 System Features PSAX 4500 System Software Features The AQueView R5.0 system software supports PSAX system software Releases 6.3.0, 6.5.0, and 7.0.0 for the PSAX 4500, PSAX 2300, PSAX 1250, PSAX 20, AC 60 Multiservice Media Gateways. PSAX 4500 System Software Features The Multiservice Media Gateway system software uses permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and switched virtual circuits (SVCs) to provide end-to-end connectivity for transmission over a network.

Chapter 3 System Features PSAX 4500 System Software Features links to be used as the primary link for certain DHPVCs while they are used simultaneously as the standby for other DHPVCs. Operation As the DHPVC is established, both the primary and standby circuits are provisioned from the originating node to the terminating node, through the ATM network.

Page 76 Chapter 3 System Features PSAX 4500 System Software Features As Table 3-1 indicates, variable bit rate (VBR) traffic types (for example, network management data traffic) have a higher priority than some constant bit rate (CBR) traffic (for example, off-peak cellular voice calls). The AQueMan algorithm accounts for the service-level priorities of the traffic when determining which cells to discard during traffic congestion.

It monitors the size of user cell blocks that monitor the performance in the forward or backward direction. (The default is 1,024 cells.) Soft Permanent Virtual Circuits (SPVCs) The soft permanent virtual circuit (SPVC) feature is a semipermanent virtual circuit enabled by management action.

Chapter 3 System Features Traffic Shaping Configuring Rate Shaping for HDLC, Frame Relay, and Ethernet Virtual Channels To configure the rate shaping feature, the traffic shaping feature must be enabled on the ATM UNI 3.1, ATM PNNI, or ATM IISP interface configuration windows of the OC-3c 1+1 APS or the STM-1 1+1 MSP modules.

Include in your calculation the function (F) in the formula (see the section titled ”Formula for Determining the PCR of a Rate Shaped Connection” below for the total CBR and VBR-rt traffic provisioned for the interface (see the earlier section ”VBR Rate Shaping Priorities”).
Page 103 Chapter 3 System Features Traffic Shaping is 386, it will send one cell from queue 386. If the offset time value T is 20, the rate shaper moves queue number 386 to box 21 (box 1 + T value 20), providing the timing for the next time queue 386 will be visited.

The rate shaper progresses to box 4 of the rate shaping table and repeats Steps 1 through 3 and cycles through all 80,000 cells over and over, using this algorithm.
Page 105 Chapter 3 System Features Virtual Interfaces queue. By using VIs instead of physical connections, it is possible to achieve advanced bandwidth management capability allowing for fully flexible service provisioning. Working in conjunction with AQueMan software and Usage Parameter Control (UPC), VIs give service providers a way to maximize revenue by oversubscribing their bandwidth without violating their QoS agreements.
Page 106 Chapter 3 System Features Virtual Interfaces Note: Each virtual interface supports UPC; however, it is not possible to designate UPC for individual virtual paths and virtual connections within a virtual interface. Bursts of VBR traffic that exceed the available bandwidth are buffered and serviced in accordance with the AQueMan buffering algorithm.

Page 108 Chapter 3 System Features Virtual Interfaces remaining non-VI traffic can burst up to 45 Mbps. This provides a natural separation between guaranteed versus nonguaranteed traffic. UPC parameters can be involved at the ingress, allowing the service provider to not only control the ingress traffic but to also ensure that the bandwidth throughout the network does not violate the SLA.
