Integrating Metro Ethernet to DSLAM

[sreeshs2003]

Dear friends,

I am very new to Metro Ethernet and currently I am facing a solution problem. The thing is my customer want to deploy a MEtro Ethernet Network, which in turn they should be able to interconnect to a DSLAM network. The specific customer requirements are below, i am getting smoke out of my ears working on this.

1) Deploy a Metro ethernet network and integrate it to DSLAM network

2) Design should be such that customers of my customer (SP) can change his bandwidth limitations. For eg: if the SP's customer wants to have a video conferencing for a few hours then say for some 4 hrs he/she should be able to change the provided bandwidth. The SP should be able to monitor and bill for this.

3) As a section of this Metro Ethernet solution a part should be able to provide video,data,voice and other near future application on EXISTING RJ 11 telephone wire connection at the customer places.

I have only 1.5 yrs experience in networking and that too only on configuring and installing routers,RAS FW switches etc. I have never been to Solution providing and this is the first one. I dont want to lose it. can any one help ???

Pleeeeeeeeease !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanx Mam, so I think I should now find out a DSLAM with the RJ 45 port to sove the integration issue in the simplest manner.

But what I still don't get is how the SP managed equipment's configuration could be changed by a customer to suit his bandwidth requirements. I think its better to go for a web portal on which customer can place the request and get it carried out by the SP itself. Any comments on this would be whole heartedly appreciated

Hi Sreesh..

Many SP generally have NMS(typically OSS/BSS)which normally interacts with the devices which generally does capping so far bandwidth is concerned. A customer would be given a interface wherein he can change his bandwidth(popularly called as BANDWIDTH ON DEMAND), viz.64K,128K,256K etc... This in turn would make the changes in OSS/BSS.

There may be some other techniques of B/W ON DEMAND also, but this is what I have come accross..

One more thing...U necessarily don't need to have DSLAM with RJ-45...U can also have optical (SFPs) as uplink to your DSLAM, and can tap out voice/Data customers. There are many DSLAMs available in market with one or more optical uplink port in order to backhaul it to ur Metro Ethernet backbone.

Hope this helps...

Hi,

Your requirment seems to be preety simple as far as metro ethernet deployment is concerned.

Suggest you to look for Cisco Service Selection Gateway ( SSG ) feature set on Cisco 72xx,73xx,10K series routers. With SSG coupled with SESM , users have flexibilty of change the bandwidth on the fly and SP can bill him accordingly.

Apart from the requirement of bandwidth change , i would like to make a point that your customer should go for ADSL 2 or 2 + for catering triple play services ( voice,video and data )

As far as metro e network is concerned i would have gig ethernet bandwidth in the backhaul .

If the customer is not so Cisco Savvy , you can look for Juniper SDX platform , which supports COPS !!! ;)

you can reach me a rajnvs@gmail.com for any assitance required .
