Cisco Cisco ONS 15454 SONET Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP)

Release 6.2 supports three important ML-Series EoMPLS enhancements (these features were introduced 
in Release 5.0.5): 

EoMPLS over point-to-point circuits using GFP framing 

EoMPLS using RSVP signaled MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnels 

FCS preservation over EoMPLS tunnels 

With Release 6.2 ML data card enhancements, service providers can offer customers services that make 
use of EoMPLS-based implementation of pseudo wires over GFP, and also MPLS Traffic Engineering 
Tunnels using RSVP-TE as the signaling protocol. 

EoMPLS pseudo wires over point-to-point circuits using GFP framing, without RPR, are supported on 
data cards for creating point-to-point pseudo wire circuits across the data network. Each data card 
supports 24 MPLS-TE tunnels, which can be used for carrying traffic over E-LSP connections. Data 
cards support MPLS-TE tunnels with RSVP signaling control of the EoMPLS over GFP pseudo wires. 
You have the option of selecting RSVP as the control protocol during the EoMPLS creation. 

Data cards also support Ethernet Frame Check Sequence (FCS) preservation across EoMPLS over GFP 
pseudo wires. You have the option of selecting Ethernet FCS preservation, or not. The default value for 
FCS preservation is “off.” 

Each access port on the data card can be simultaneously provisioned for both EoMPLS (to support 
point-to-point connections) and QinQ (to support multipoint connections). Data cards interoperate with 
the Tellabs 8860 for setup of EoMPLS connections. Interoperability testing can be done prior to 
deployment.
