Features:
Providing Carrier-Class Resiliency with Multi-Service IronWare
The Brocade CES 2000 Series is built on the same Brocade Multi-Service IronWare operating system that powers mission-critical Brocade MLX Series Routers, simplifying integration with existing networks. Key capabilities include an industry-standard interface, support for robust routing protocols, MPLS VPNs, advanced Layer 2 protocols, OpenFlow, a broad range of OAM protocols, advanced security, and simplified management.
Enabling True Carrier-Grade Ethernet Services
Carrier Ethernet is a ubiquitous offering defined by five attributes—standardized services, scalability, service management, reliability, and QoS—all of which are supported by the Brocade CES 2000 Series. A Carrier Ethernet service can be delivered over any transport technology as long as it satisfies the standards and attributes associated with the service. Examples of possible underlying transport mechanisms include native Ethernet using 802.1Q VLANs, MPLS-based Layer 2 VPNs, IEEE 802.1ad PBs, and IEEE 802.1ah PBBs.
Standardized Services
Because the Brocade CES 2000 Series is certified for MEF 9, MEF 14, and MEF 21, providers can offer E-LINE, E-LAN, and E-TREE services—the standardized service names for point-to-point, multipoint, and rooted multipoint services. These services can be offered using 802.1Q VLANs, PBs, PBBs, or MPLS Layer 2 VPNs.
Scalability
The Brocade CES 2000 Series supports up to 128,000 MAC addresses per system. Support for 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports or 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports (with wire-speed performance even at full load) helps ensure available capacity on user-facing ports to accommodate provider customers that want to upgrade to a higher-bandwidth service. In addition, the use of Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) enables the aggregation of multiple links to provide even higherbandwidth services at the User Network Interface (UNI). To support highly scalable Carrier Ethernet services, Brocade has developed an innovative framework called Ethernet Service Instance (ESI). Using the ESI framework, providers can flexibly define and assign VLANs to service instances within the network—enabling them to rapidly instantiate and easily manage E-LINE, E-LAN, and E-TREE services.
Service Management
Specifications such as IEEE 802.1ag (Connectivity Fault Management) and MEF 17 (Service OAM Framework and Specifications) enable fast, proactive identification and isolation of faults in the network or service, helping to increase service uptime and the ability to meet SLAs.
The Brocade CES 2000 Series supports all the capabilities in IEEE 802.1ag, including Connectivity Check Messages, Loopback Message/Response, and LinkTrace Message/Response. It allows flexible association and definition of both Maintenance End Points (MEPs) and Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIPs) within a network. Fault management functions of MEF 17 Service OAM are also supported. Together, these tools provide the capabilities to monitor, diagnose, and centrally manage the network.
Reliability
To provide higher reliability in Carrier Ethernet services, the Brocade CES 2000 Series supports Metro Ring Protocol (MRP/MRP-II), the ring resiliency protocol of choice on many metro networks worldwide. Standard Layer 2 protocols such as MSTP, RSTP, and STP are also supported. The Brocade MRP/MRP-II implementation enables the delivery of Carrier Ethernet services over ring-based topologies, including overlapping rings that help optimize the use of fiber in metro rings and provide recovery from node/link failures in milliseconds. Brocade MRP/MRP-II can also be used within PB/PBB networks.
To enhance multivendor interoperability, the Brocade CES 2000 Series supports Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP), a nonproprietary protocol described in ITU-T G.8032 (version 1 and 2), and integrates an Automatic Protection Switching (APS) protocol and protection switching mechanisms to provide Layer 2 loop avoidance and fast reconvergence in Layer 2 ring topologies. By integrating with mature Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) functions such as IEEE 802.1ag and a simple APS protocol to achieve fast protection switching in Ethernet ring networks, ERP supports multi-ring and ladder topologies to reduce OpEx and CapEx for service providers.
Advanced QoS Capabilities
The Brocade CES 2000 Series supports up to eight queues per port, each with a distinct priority level. Providers can apply advanced QoS capabilities (such as the use of two-rate, three-color traffic policers, egress shaping, and priority remarking) to offer guaranteed service levels to customers. In addition, the Brocade CES 2000 Series can be configured with ingress and egress bandwidth profiles per UNI that comply with the rigid traffic management specifications of MEF 10/MEF 14.
Using VPLS and PBB to Scale Carrier Ethernet Services
Most network cores today are based on MPLS. By using VPLS, providers can easily leverage an existing MPLS network to offer Carrier Ethernet services. In a VPLS network, participating Provider Edge (PE) devices establish a full mesh of pseudowires among all nodes in a VPLS instance. To ensure scalability of the VPLS service, providers can utilize hierarchical VPLS to limit the number of PE devices that participate in the full mesh.
In addition, they can use PBB technology to implement hierarchical VPLS by crossconnecting VPLS at the PE router (the hub device) to PBB spokes at the network edge. Implementing hierarchical VPLS with PBB spokes provides an extremely simple way to scale the VPLS service while reducing signaling overhead within the MPLS network.
More importantly, it significantly increases the scalability of the overall solution, because the MPLS PE router is completely insulated from customer MAC addresses—it maps frames based on the backbone MAC header to a VPLS instance. Figure 1 shows an example of using PBB technology on the Brocade CES 2000 Series with VPLS on the Brocade MLX Series to achieve unparalleled scalability in service delivery.
High-Performance Top-of-Rack Switch for Data Centers
In the data center, cost reduction, virtualization, security, and consolidation continue to be the top priorities. Growth in data traffic and rising application demands require higher levels of performance and the ability to scale with more storage and network bandwidth.
The Brocade CES 2000 Series is designed to meet the challenges of campus and large data center networks by providing a broad set of capabilities, including wire-speed performance, deep packet buffers, and low latency in a compact 1U form factor. Comprehensive support for IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols, when complemented with VRRP and VRRP-E, is well suited for these environments. In addition, the Brocade CES 2000 Series supports advanced services such as MPLS (VLL, VPLS), QoS, and Layer 3 Virtualization (VRF)—making it an ideal top-of-rack switch in high-end data centers or an edge router in campus networks.
Figure 2 shows an example of using Multi-VRF on the Brocade CES 2000 Series. Multi-VRF enables a single device to host multiple routing tables and allows application traffic separation at Layer 3 for SLA assurance, regulatory compliance, and security. An additional benefit of Multi-VRF is reduced maintenance and capital costs as well as better bandwidth utilization to increase ROI.
Multicast Support
Multicast transport is a key enabler of next-generation services such as IPTV as well as the use of video, financial, and other one-to-many applications. To meet this challenge, the Brocade CES 2000 Series provides comprehensive support for multicast switching and routing through a variety of protocols, including PIM-SM, PIM-DM, PIM-SSM, IGMP v2/v3, and other platform-independent capabilities. Egress interface-based replication optimizes switch performance and buffer usage within the system to help maximize network performance for multicast traffic.
Routing Capabilities
The Brocade CES 2000 Series offers routing capabilities that are commonly required in edge aggregation and other applications within a provider’s domain. These capabilities include advanced hardware-based routing technology, which ensures secure and robust wirespeed routing performance.
The Brocade CES 2000 Series supports IPv4 and IPv6 unicast protocols—RIP/ RIPng, OSPF/OSPFv3, IS-IS/IS-IS for IPv6, and BGP/BGP-MP for IPv6. To increase overall service availability, it also supports Graceful Restart helper mode for both OSPF and BGP, enabling hitless management failover and hitless OS upgrades on adjacent modular routers with these functions.
Security Capabilities
Multi-Service IronWare contains security capabilities that are available on the Brocade CES 2000 Series. These capabilities support inbound and outbound ACLs, ACL logging, advanced Layer 2 controls, limits for broadcast/ unknown unicast/multicast, Multi-VRF, Layer 2 VPNs, and more.
Receive ACLs assist in placing controls on unwanted traffic targeted toward the control plane. Through tools such as ACLbased traffic policers, ACL-based sFlow, and ACL-based mirroring, malicious traffic can be easily identified and preventive measures taken in the network. In addition, Multi-VRF can help segment the network into different zones for security and isolation.
Software-Defined Networking
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a powerful new network paradigm that provides increased agility and programmatic control of network infrastructure, enabling a new class of IT applications to meet critical business needs. The Brocade CES 2000 enables SDN by supporting the OpenFlow protocol in hardware, which allows communication between an OpenFlow controller and the OpenFlow-enabled Brocade CES 2000 Switch. The Brocade CES 2000 delivers OpenFlow 1.3 in hybrid switch mode, meaning organizations can simultaneously deploy traditional Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding with OpenFlow on the same system. This unique capability enables network operators to integrate OpenFlow into existing networks, giving them the benefits offered by SDN for specific flows while the remaining traffic is handled the same way as before. OpenFlow 1.3 delivers a richer feature set required for commercial and enterprise networks to address complex network behavior and optimize performance for dynamic SDN applications. These features include Quality of Service (QoS), Q-in-Q, Group Tables, Active-Standby Controller, and IPv6. The Brocade CES 2000 is ideal for service delivery at the network edge and for data center top-of-rack deployments in a software-defined network.
Simplified Service Management
To simplify the manageability and provisioning of Ethernet services, the Brocade CES Series leverages Brocade Network Advisor, an application that unifies network management for all Brocade products. Brocade Network Advisor provides the easy-to-use MPLS Manager, which can help configure, monitor, and manage VPLS and Virtual Leased Line (VLL) services across networks that are based on Brocade routers. In addition, the sFlow-based technology utilized by Brocade Network Advisor reduces network downtime with proactive monitoring, traffic analysis, and reporting.
