Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router Series
Modular Ethernet Router

Features & Benefits:

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Hierarchical QoS (HQoS) - Provides a built-in QoS engine that supports hierarchical QoS (HQoS) and can implement a hierarchical scheduling mechanism based on ports, user groups, users, and user services; also cooperates with MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) to implement bandwidth reservation and scheduling based on tunnels and services
• Weighted random early detection (WRED)/random early detection (RED) - Delivers congestion avoidance capabilities through the use of queue management algorithms
• Advanced classifier-based QoS - Classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis
• Bandwidth shaping
  • Port-based rate limiting - Provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced increased bandwidth
  • Classifier-based rate limiting - Uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on each port
  • Reduced bandwidth - Provides per-port, per-queue egress-based reduced bandwidth
• Traffic policing - Supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate

Virtual private network (VPN)

• Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) - An industry standard-based traffic encapsulation mechanism supported by many common operating systems; will tunnel the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) traffic over the IP and non-IP networks; may use the IP/UDP transport mechanism in IP networks
• Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) - Transports Layer 2 connectivity over a Layer 3 path in a secured way; enables the segregation of traffic from site to site

Management

• Command authorization - Leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator’s login; an audit trail documents activity
• Command-line interface (CLI) - Provides a secure, easy-to-use CLI for configuring the module via SSH or a switch console; provides direct real-time session visibility
• FTP, TFTP, and SFTP support - Offers different mechanisms for configuration updates; FTP allows bidirectional transfers over a TCP/IP network; trivial FTP (TFTP) is a simpler method using User Datagram Protocol (UDP); Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) runs over an SSH tunnel to provide additional security
• Network management - SNMP v2c/v3 MIB-II with traps
• Remote monitoring (RMON) - Uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group
• SNMP v1, v2, and v3 - Provide complete support of SNMP; provide full support of industry-standard Management Information Base (MIB) plus private extensions; SNMP v3 supports increased security using encryption

Layer 3 routing

• Layer 3 IPv4 routing - Provides routing of IPv4 at media speed; supports static routes, RIP and RIPv2, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP
• Layer 3 IPv6 routing - Provides routing of IPv6 at media speed; supports static routes, RIPng, OSPFv3, IS-ISv6, and MP-BGP
• Dual IP stack - Maintains separate stacks for IPv4 and IPv6 to ease the transition from an IPv4-only network to an IPv6-only network design
• Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) - Enables multiple equal-cost links in a routing environment to increase link redundancy and scale bandwidth
• IPv6 tunnels over IPv4 - Allows IPv6 infrastructure to be connected over legacy IPv4 networks
• MPLS support - Provides extended support of MPLS, including MPLS VPNs and MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS TE)
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 3 VPN - Allows Layer 3 VPNs across a provider network; uses MP-BGP to establish private routes for increased security; supports RFC 2547bis multiple autonomous system VPNs for added flexibility
• Multicast VPN - Supports multicast domain (MD) multicast VPN, which can be distributed on separate service cards, providing high performance and flexible configuration
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 2 VPN - Establishes simple Layer 2 point-to-point VPNs across a provider network using only MPLS Label Distribution Protocol (LDP); requires no routing and therefore decreases complexity, increases performance, and allows VPNs of non-routable protocols; uses no routing information for increased security; supports Circuit Cross Connect (CCC), Static Virtual Circuits (SVCs), Martini draft, and Kompella-draft technologies
• Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) - Establishes point-to-multipoint Layer 2 VPNs across a provider network
• Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering (MPLS TE) - Traffic Engineering (TE) is used to enhance traffic over large MPLS networks based on type of traffic and available resources; TE dynamically tunes traffic management attributes and enables true load balancing; MPLS TE supports route backup using fast reroute (FRR)
• VPLS support - Provides extended support of VPLS for data center to data center communication at Layer 2; provides support of hierarchical VPLS for scalability

Security

• Access control list - supports powerful ACLs for both IPv4 and IPv6; ACLs are used for filtering traffic to prevent illegal users from accessing the network or for controlling network traffic flow; rules can either deny or permit traffic to be forwarded; rules can be based on a Layer 2 header or a Layer 3 protocol header; rules can also be set to operate on specific dates or times
• Network address translation (NAT) - Supports repeated multiplexing of a port and automatic 5-tuple collision detection, enabling NAPT to support unlimited connections; supports blacklist in NAT/NAPT/internal server, a limit on the number of connections, session log, and multi-instance.
• Secure management access - Delivers secure encryption of all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2 and SNMPv3
• Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (URPF) - Allows normal packets to be forwarded correctly, but discards the attaching packet due to lack of reverse path route or incorrect inbound interface; prevents source spoofing and distributed attacks; supports distributed URPF.

Resiliency and high availability

• Non-Stop Routing - provides instant recovery from a control plane failure without relying on an adjacent router. It uses a hot-standby control card with the latest router image, configuration and network state and is able to maintain existing protocol sessions with adjacent routers while continuing to learn new route updates during the fail over
• Non-Stop Services - Extends non-stop routing to ensure uninterrupted availability of network services during a control plane fail over. The hot-standby control card maintains the state of services and sessions so that VPLS, VLL, IP VPN, and enhanced Internet services are not affected during a control plane fail over
• Graceful restart - Supports graceful restart for OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, LDP, and RSVP; the network remains stable during the active-standby switchover; after the switchover, the device quickly learns the network routes by communicating with adjacent routers; forwarding remains uninterrupted during the switchover to achieve nonstop forwarding (NSF)
• Hot-swappable modules - Permits modules and mini-GBICs to be added or swapped without interrupting the network
• IP Fast Reroute (FRR) - Nodes are configured with backup ports and routes; local implementation requires no cooperation of adjacent devices, simplifying the deployment; solves the traditional convergence faults in IP forwarding; achieves restoration within 50 ms, with the restoration time independent of the number of routes and fast link switchovers without route convergence
• Redundant design of main processing unit and power supply - Increases the overall system availability
• Separate data and control planes - Provide greater flexibility and enable continual services
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) - Allows groups of two routers to back each other up dynamically to create highly available routed environments in IPv4 and IPv6 networks
• Assured high availability
  • Resilient switch fabric - Protection from a single failed fabric module, supporting total capacity by the remaining fabric module
  • Optional redundant management - Automatic failover for active and standby management modules
  • Modular and distributed software - Increase capability/capacity by using distributed hardware and software
  • Optional redundant power supply - Uninterrupted power
  • No single point of failure architecture - Separate control and management planes
• In-service software upgrades - Leveraging non-stop routing and non-stop services, allows major and minor upgrades to be installed without restarting the device, increasing network uptime and simplifying maintenance

Software-defined networking

• OpenFlow - Supports OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3 specifications to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths

Multicast Support

• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) - Utilizes Any-Source Multicast (ASM) or Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) to manage IPv4 multicast networks; supports IGMPv1, v2, and v3
• Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) - Defines modes of Internet IPv4 and IPv6 multicasting to allow one-to-many and many-to-many transmission of information; PIM Dense Mode (DM), Sparse Mode (SM), and Source-Specific Mode (SSM) are supported
• Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) - Allows multiple PIM-SM domains to interoperate; is used for inter-domain multicast applications
• Multicast Border Gateway Protocol (MBGP) - Allows multicast traffic to be forwarded across BGP networks separately from unicast traffic
