Alcatel-Lucent Service Model - Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS M Service Manual

Alcatel-Lucent Service Model

In the Alcatel-Lucent service model, the service edge routers are deployed at the provider edge.
Services are provisioned on the service routers and transported across an IP and/or IP/MPLS
provider core network in encapsulation tunnels created using MPLS label switched paths (LSPs).
The 7210 SAS M devices configured in access-uplink mode supports QinQ Layer 2 uplinks to
transport the services to the provider edge in a hierarchical configuration.
The service model uses logical service entities to construct a service. The logical service entities
are designed to provide a uniform, service-centric configuration, management, and billing model
for service provisioning. Some benefits of this service-centric design include:
•
•
Service provisioning uses logical entities to provision a service where additional properties can be
configured for bandwidth provisioning, QoS, security filtering, accounting/billing to the
appropriate entity.
7210 SAS M Services Guide
Many services can be bound to a single customer.
QoS policies, filter policies, and accounting policies are applied to each service instead of
correlating parameters and statistics from ports to customers to services.
