HIGH SPEED LANs

Why High Speed LANs?
Office LANs used to provide basic connectivity
Connecting PCs and terminals to mainframes and midrange systems that ran corporate applications
Providing workgroup connectivity at departmental level
Traffic patterns light
> Emphasis on file transfer and electronic mail
Speed and power of PCs has risen
Graphics-intensive applications and GUIs
MIS organizations recognize LANs as essential
Began with client/server computing
> Now dominant architecture in business environment > Intranetworks
> Frequent transfer of large volumes of data

Applications Requiring High Speed LANs
Centralized server farms
User needs to draw huge amounts of data from multiple centralized servers
E.g. Colour publishing operation
> Servers contain tens of gigabytes of image data that must be downloaded to imaging workstations.
Power workgroups
Small number of cooperating users
Draw massive data files across network
E.g. Software development group testing new software version or computer-aided design (CAD) company regularly running simulations of new designs.
High-speed local backbone
Processing demand grows
LANs proliferate at site
High-speed interconnection is necessary

Ethernet Switched & Shared(CSMA/CD/CA)
Most widely used LAN standard
Developed by
Xerox original Ethernet
IEEE 802.3
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Legacy
random / contention access to media
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) Wireless

Legacy 10Mbps Specification (Ethernet)

Legacy 100Mbps Fast Ethernet

Uses a unidirectional data rate 100 Mbps over single twisted pair or optical fiber link
Two physical medium specifications
100BASE-TX
> uses two pairs of twisted-pair cable for tx & rx > STP and Category 5 UTP allowed
> MTL-3 signaling scheme is used
100BASE-FX
> uses two optical fiber cables for tx & rx
> convert 4B/5B-NRZI code group into optical signals

100BASE-T4
100-Mbps over lower-quality Cat 3 UTP
takes advantage of large installed base of cat 3 cabling does not transmit continuous signal between packets
useful in battery-powered applications
cannot get 100 Mbps on single twisted pair
so data stream split into three separate streams
four twisted pairs used
data transmitted and received using three pairs
two pairs configured for bidirectional transmission
use ternary signaling scheme (8B6T)

100BASE-T Options

Full Duplex Operation
Traditional Ethernet was only half duplex
Using full-duplex, station can transmit and receive simultaneously
100-Mbps Ethernet in full-duplex mode, giving a theoretical transfer rate of 200 Mbps
Stations must have full-duplex adapter cards
and must use switching (switch)
each station constitutes separate collision domain CSMA/CD algorithm no longer needed
802.3 MAC frame format used

Mixed Configurations (1)
Fast Ethernet LANs supports mixture of existing 10-Mbps LANs and newer 100-Mbps LANs
supporting older and newer technologies
e.g. 100-Mbps backbone LAN supports 10-Mbps hubs
stations attach to 10-Mbps hubs using 10BASE-T
hubs connected to switching hubs using 100BASE-T
high-capacity workstations and servers attach directly to 10/100 switches
switches connected to 100-Mbps hubs use 100-Mbps backbone links
100-Mbps hubs provide building backbone
connected to router providing connection to WAN

Mixed Configurations (2)
Gigabit Ethernet supports mixture of existing 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps
supporting older and newer technologies
e.g. 1000-Mbps backbone LAN supports 100-Mbps switches
> stations attach to 10/100-Mbps switch using 100BASE-T
> Standard workstations and servers attach directly to 10/100 switches
> high-capacity workstations and servers attach directly to 1000-Mbps switches
> switches connected to 10/100-Mbps switch use 1000-Mbps backbone links
> 1000-Mbps switches provide building blocks for backbone
> connected to router providing connection to WAN

Increases throughput
Protocol independent
Distance insensitive
Switch and transmission link technologies may change without affecting overall configuration

Fibre Channel More Applications

Fibre Channel Prospects
Backed by Fibre Channel Association (FCA)
Interface cards for different applications available
Most widely accepted as peripheral device interconnect
To replace such schemes as SCSI
Technically attractive to general high-speed LAN requirements
Must compete with Ethernet and ATM (legacy) LANs
Cost and performance issues should dominate the consideration of these competing technologies

HIGH SPEED GIGABIT ETHERNET

High speed Ethernet Trend

Internet Backbone Growth
Industry consensus indicates future growth rate of 75% each year in aggregate traffic demand
Traffic increased in ranges of 10,000x from 2000 to 2010
Traffic projected to increase an additional 1,000x from 2015 to 2025
Ref: K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko, Growth of the Internet, I. P. Kaminow and T. Li, eds. Academic Press, 2002, pp. 17-56.

LAN Future moving towards Tb/s access
Backend Carriers deployed Nx10 Gb/s networks several years ago
Now evaluating deployment of (Nx) 40/100 Gb/s router networks
Current Backbone growth rates, if sustained, will require IP link capacity to scale to > 1 Tb/s by 2020
Ref: K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko, Growth of the Internet, I. P. Kaminow and T. Li, eds. Academic Press, 2002, pp. 17-56.

Next Gen Higher Speed Ethernet
Protocol Extensible for Speed
Ethernet tradition has been 10x scaling
But at current growth rates, 100 Gb/s will be insufficient by 2020 and beyond
Desirable to standardize method of extending available speed without re-engineering the protocol stack
Incremental Growth
Most organizations upgrade or install new technologies with a 4-5 year lifetime
Pre-deployment based on the speed requirement for current and 5 years in advance planning

Next Gen Higher Speed Ethernet (2)
Hitless Growth
Systematic take down of core network router & links for a substantial period of time without customer service degradations
SLAs may be compromised or require complicated temporary workarounds if substantial down time is required for upgrade.
Faultless upgrade of the link capacity should therefore be hitless, or at least only transitory impacting network services.
Resiliency and Graceful Degradation
Setup and transition should provide rapid recovery from failure of an individual channel or component
Fault tolerance and performance needs to be taken care off.

Next Gen Higher Speed Ethernet (3)
IEEE 802.3ba standard
for 40/100-Gbit Ethernet provided a framework for data rates of 40 Gigabits per second and beyond
Technology Reuse
Highly desirable to leverage existing 10G PHYs, including 10GBASE-R, W, X, S, L, E, Z and LRM in order to foster ubiquity and avoid duplication of standards efforts
Highly desirable to leverage existing 40G PHYs, including 40GBASE-R, W, X, S, L, E, Z and LRM in order to foster ubiquity and avoid duplication of standards efforts
Deterministic Performance
Latency/Delay Variation should be low for support of real-time packet based services, e.g. Streaming video, VOIP,Gaming

Next Gen Higher Speed Ethernet (4)
WAN Manageability
40 or 100 GbE will be transported over wide area networks
It should include features for low Operational Expenses and should be:
> Economical
> Reliable
> Operationally Manageable (e.g. simple fault isolation)
WAN Transportability
Operation over WAN fiber optic networks
Transport across regional, national and inter-continental networks
The protocol should be resilient to intra-channel/intra-wavelength propagation delay differences (skew)

Software-Defined Virtual Networking
Future virtualized and software defined network
changes how services are provisioned and allows for a more flexible response to fluctuations in demand making a more efficient use of the infrastructure.
Networks Functions Virtualization (NFV) and
Software Defined Networking (SDN) are the disruptive technologies that enable this model

Software-Defined Virtual Networking
Networks Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) are the disruptive technologies coupled together to maximize benefits for Future networks.
Network Function Virtualization techniques
hypervisor implements the virtualization layer that abstracts the application from the infrastructure which is viewed as a pool of computer, network and storage resources
Software Defined Networking (SDN)
SDN separates the control and data plane, centralizing the network intelligence in a controller that manages white box switches implementing the forwarding function.
Network administrators are no longer required to program thousands of devices and can remotely deploy network-wide policies down to the user level within an open software framework that leaves manufacturers dependency behind.
