Technical requirements of multi-service transport platform (MSTP) based on SDH -
Embedded with MPLS function
1 Scope
This standard specifies the overall technical requirements for realizing embedded MPLS functions on SDH-based MSTP equipment, including the requirements in functional model, functional requirements, control plane functions, data plane functions, interface characteristics, performance parameters and index, protection switching and network management of MSTP. Specific specifications on equipment for different levels of network applications will be specified separately.
This standard is applicable to SDH equipment which realize embedded MPLS functions, provide end-to-end QoS processing of Ethernet service, L2VPN service and Ethernet service and also provide multi-service transfer platforms (MSTP) with unified network management.
