Switching Static MPLS-TP to Dynamic T-LDP Signaled PWs

Some use cases for MPLS-TP require an MPLS-TP based aggregation network and an IP-based

core network to interoperate, so providing the seamless transport of packet services across static

MPLS-TP and dynamically signaled domains using an MS-PW. In this environment, end to end

VCCV Ping and VCCV Trace may be used on the MS-PW. This is illustrated in the following

Services are backhauled from the static MPLS-TP network on the left to the dynamic IP/MPLS

network on the right. The 7750 acts as an S-PE interconnecting the static and dynamic domains.

The 7x50 implementation supports such use cases through the ability to mate a static MPLS-TP

spoke-sdp, with a defined pw-path-id, to a FEC128 spoke-sdp. The dynamically signaled spoke-

sdp must be MPLS; GRE PWs are not supported, but the T-LDP signaled PW can use any

supported MPLS tunnel type (e.g. LDP, RSVP-TE, static, BGP). The control-word must be

enabled on both mate spoke-sdps.

Mapping of control channel status signaling to and from T-LDP status signaling at the 7x50 S-PE

is also supported.

The use of VCCV Ping and VCCV Trace on an MS-PW composed of a mix of static MPLS-TP

and dynamic FEC128 segments is described in more detail in the 7x50 SR OS OAM and

Diagnostics Guide.
