Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR
SERVICEAGGREGATIONROUTER|RELEASE1.0
The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 Service Aggregation Router (SAR) delivers industry-leading IP/MPLS and pseudowire
capabilities in a compact platform that has the ability to groom and aggregate multiple media, service and
transport protocols onto a normalized, economical packet transport infrastructure.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR is extrem-
ely well suited to the transport needs of
the evolving mobile radio access network
(RAN). The platform delivers strong
convergence capabilities in the mobile
RAN with native service processing of
2G, 3G and 4G traffic. In addition, the
platform can provide a powerful solution
for wireline aggregation and routing in
carrier and enterprise applications. For
example, the Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR
can be deployed in a T1/E1 private
line multiplexing environment.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR owes
much of its development heritage
to the Alcatel-Lucent Service Router
(SR) product line. Sharing much of
the market-leading feature set of that
product, the Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR
brings a powerful, service-oriented
capability to the RAN, but in a form
factor and at a price point that are
particularly appropriate for cell sites
and hub locations. With end-to-end
service management under the
Alcatel-Lucent 5620 management
portfolio, the Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR
greatly augments the IP/MPLS RAN
transport solution from Alcatel-Lucent.
Industry-leading scalability and density
is provided in the 8-slot, two rack unit
(RU) version that supports up to 96 T1/E1
Any Service, Any Port (ASAP) ports. On
the network uplink side, media connec-
tivity options are: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet
(FE), Gigabit Ethernet (GE), or n xT1/E1
Multi-Link Point-to-Point Protocol
(MLPPP). The platform can be option-
ally configured with a redundant core
control module and uplinks. The
Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR-8 has eight
slots; two are allocated for control
and switch modules (CSMs), with the
remaining six being available for user
traffic adapter cards. The Alcatel-
Lucent 7705 SAR has a compact modular
architecture, constructed to allow
flexible use of line adapter cards so
operators can optimize the configura-
tion to meet the specific requirements
of a site.
With the modular architecture comes
additional resilience and flexibility.
The solution can optionally support
1+1 fully redundant CSMs. Each adapter
card has dual paths to the active and
standby CSMs. Each of the six adapter
card slots can be used for any adapter
card type, removing the burden of
complex pre-engineering and future
scenario planning. The two adapter
card types supported in Release 1.0 are
a 16-port ASAP T1/E1 adapter card and
an 8-port Ethernet adapter card.

Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR | Data Sheet2
The ASAP adapter card supports ATM,
inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA),
TDM and MLPPP. The Ethernet adapter
card has six ports of auto-sensing 10/100
Base-T ports plus two further ports
supporting 10/100/1000 Base TX with
small form factor pluggable (SFPs) optics.
Each slot is connected to the switching
fabric on the CSM via a 1 Gb/s link to host
existing and future interface types.
Service aggregation
and networking
To provide the most efficient transport
solution, the Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR
employs pseudowire encapsulation
(PWE3) methods to map services end
to end. The use of pseudowires ensures
that the key attributes of the service
are maintained, while using a cost-
effective packet environment to
aggregate services.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR supports
RFC 5086 — Structure-Aware Time
Division Multiplexed (TDM) Circuit
Emulation Service over Packet Switched
Network (CESoPSN) for the encapsu-
lation and transport of TDM traffic,
for example, 2G TDM services. The use
of circuit emulation service (CES) ensures
that only the active timeslots are
transported, keeping bandwidth usage
to a minimum. The Alcatel-Lucent 7705
SAR also supports RFC 4717 — Encapsu-
lation Methods for Transport of
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
over MPLS Networks (also known as
draft-ietf-pwe3-atm-encap). The
Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR supports N:1
cell mode for transport of ATM-based
services. Multiple access ATM ports are
bundled together to attain higher
speeds using IMA. The IMA protocol
is terminated on the Alcatel-Lucent
7705 SAR and only the cells containing
user data belonging to a virtual
circuit/virtual path (VC/VP) structure
are transported.
In addition, the Alcatel-Lucent 7705
SAR supports RFC 4448 — Encapsu-
lation Methods for Transport of
Ethernet over MPLS Networks, which
specifies how Ethernet pseudowires
can be used to transport Ethernet
traffic across the packet network. To
offer greater scalability, all the traffic
out of an Ethernet port can be carried
over a single Ethernet pseudowire or,
alternatively, a pseudowire can be
created for each VLAN that is assigned
to a different service or end-customer.
When dynamic signaling is deployed,
the end-to-end pseudowire is estab-
lished using targeted label distribution
protocol (T-LDP) and the MPLS tunnel
via LDP. In addition to efficient
LDP-based dynamic signaling, static
provisioning of both the MPLS tunnel
and the pseudowire is also supported.
Quality of service and
traffic management
It is critical to maintain the end-to-end
quality of service (QoS) for packet traffic.
Not all types of traffic have the same
set of requirements. Voice traffic in
particular requires low latency and
jitter (latency variation) and also low
loss, whereas data traffic often has
less stringent delay requirements but
may be very sensitive to loss, as packet
loss can seriously constrain applica-
tion throughput. To offer the req-
uired treatment throughout the
network, traffic flows with different
requirements are identified at the
access and marked in-line with the
appropriate QoS metrics. Traffic
classification and marking is carried
out based on the following:
Classification (Layer 1/Layer 2/Layer
2.5 and/or Layer 3 header):

The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR utilizes
extensive traffic management policies
to ensure fairness with detailed
classification and hierarchical schedul-
ing including minimum/maximum,
profiled, round robin and strict priority
scheduling and multi-tier policing to
differentiate and prioritize individual
services and flows.
Operations, administration
and maintenance
In order to ensure continuity of
services, the Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR
has a full set of operations, adminis-
tration and maintenance (OAM)
features including:
• LSPping
• LSPtraceroute
• Servicedistributionpath(SDP)ping
¬ Verifies, for example, tunnel
connectivity and round trip delay
• Virtualcircuitconnectivity
verification (VCCV)
¬ Verifies, for example, service level
existence and round trip time
¬ Extends OAM to pseudowire
services
• ServiceAssuranceAgent(SAA)
¬ Runs in background, periodically
collecting network “health” infor-
mation from OAM mechanisms such
as VCCV and monitoring for prob-
lems such as SLA transgressions.
These features, when under the
control of the Alcatel-Lucent 5620
management portfolio, ensure rapid
fault detection as well as efficient
troubleshooting. In particular, SLAs
can be monitored, and transgressions
detected and reported via the SAA.
Synchronization
Cell sites rely on the backhaul network
to provide synchronous interfaces for
the proper delivery of data. In addition,
cell sites may rely on the network
interfaces as stable references with
which to derive radio frequencies (RFs)
and in order to ensure reliable subscriber
handover between cell towers.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR supports
external reference timing, line timing
and adaptive timing in Release 1.0.
The adaptive timing is fully capable of
offering end-to-end synchronization.
In addition, the Alcatel-Lucent 7705
SAR is completely hardware-ready to
support IEEE1588v2. This IEEE standard
defines a method to minimize the
effects of delay and delay variation
(jitter). This is accomplished by a combi-
nation of built-in architectural features
and also powerful QoS mechanisms to
minimize the delay experienced by
synchronization traffic. This is a corner-
stone of the design of the Alcatel-Lucent
7705 SAR. A built-in Stratum-3 clock is
available in the control and switch module
to assist in synchronization maintenance.
