Broadband Services Switch 8000

Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switch Card for the IPD4000E/12000E Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC)

Overview

The Broadband Services Switch (BSX8000-5 and BSX8000-5R) uplink cards provides multi-gigabit Ethernet uplink capacity and enhanced management functionality for the IPD Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) system. Each BSX8000 uplink card delivers a full duplex, Gbps backplane connection to each access module in the BLC. This ensures that the aggregate access bandwidth cannot exceed the backplane capacity of the chassis.

Each BSX8000 uplink card supports four fixed, front-panel 10/100/1000 RJ45 Ethernet interfaces and one modular MIM (Micro Interface Module), allowing the IPD to integrate easily into a variety of network designs. A variety of MIM types are available, including: 10/100 Ethernet; 100 Mbps fiber; 2 x T1/E1; 4 x T1/E1; and either 2- or 4- Gigabit Ethernet ports using either copper or fiber Small Form Factor Pluggable modules.

Each BSX8000 uplink card provides advanced features to the IP DSLAM, including an embedded web management system, allowing quick configuration of IP Quality of Service (QoS), 802.1Q VLANs, 802.1p prioritization and other DSLAM controls. Each BSX8000 uplink card supports a COM port for serial connectivity to the Command Line Interface (CLI), Telnet, as well as full SNMP MIB-II and Enterprise MIBs for enhanced management functionality.

As high-speed data services become increasingly more important in mission-critical applications, service providers can distinguish themselves from their competition by offering survivable high speed data network solutions. The IPD supports increased data network survivability by means of either Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) rings or BSX8000 card-level redundancy options.

There are two versions of the BSX8000 uplink cards available: a BSX8000-5 and a BSX8000-5R. A pair of BSX8000-5 uplink cards can be operated in simplex mode in a single IPD 12000E chassis to provide two (2) Gbps connections to each access module, effectively doubling the total throughput of the IPD12000 system. Additionally, the BSX8000-5 cards can be configured to support RFC 3619 compliant EAPS rings, with multiple EAPS domains per BSX8000-5 card (i.e. one domain per pair of EAPS ring ports).

Recently introduced to the IPD platform is a new, BSX8000-5R card that can be used to implement BSX card-level redundancy in an IPD12000E chassis. In this configuration, one BSX8000-5R card operates in a 'Standby' mode so that its uplink facilities are available if the active BSX8000-5R card fails or if one or more of the uplinks on the 'Active' card fails or experience excessive CRC errors.

A key feature of the BSX8000-5 and BSX8000-5R cards is support for IP Multicast, which allows the IPD 4000E/12000E to deliver broadcast television over high speed access lines. IGMP Snooping capability ensures that video traffic is intelligently forwarded to only those access cards and ports that are requesting the particular video stream, and protects other access cards/ports from receiving unwanted traffic. Each BSX8000 uplink card supports up to 4,096 simultaneous multicast streams.
