Chapter 4 IPTN Configuration

4.1 Introduction

4.1.1 IPTN

As the main network layer protocol, IP technologies enables different new value-added
services on the IP network and multimedia services such as voice and video included.
Moreover, with the rapid development of the Internet and data services, telecom
networks gradually trend to data transmission services besides the original voice
services.
It becomes more and more urgent for a network integrating telecom networks and IP
networks. Huawei brings forward a solution called IP Telecommunication Network
(IPTN) as shown in Figure 4-1.

z Service control layer has a service control server. It works along with the access
layer to implement intelligent identification services.
z Bearer control layer employs a resource manager (RM) to perform centralized
management on the network topology and resources. When the RM receives a
resource request from a service server, it determines whether to accept the call
according to the network topology and resource utilization, thus implementing call
access control.
z Basic network layer, also called bearer layer is composed of routers to forward
data. Here the IPTN and the Internet are separated by MPLS. The IPTN is to bear
the guaranteed telecom services, while the Internet is to bear the traditional
Internet services.
The IPTN preplans the LSP virtual links in each direction of the office as well as the
corresponding bandwidths, simplifying the network QoS deployment. With respect to
the service across domains, RMs cooperate with each other to guarantee the QoS of
the entire network.

Figure 4-2 IPTN process

Internet Protocol Telecommunications Network (IPTN) manages the

telecommunication Network. If IPTN was not there in the above scenario, the packet
sent from host1 to host2 would be treated differently at each network. With IPTN, It can
use the Tunnel from respective Network to send the packets to Host 2. To Identify which
tunnel to use from the respective network, We bind a Label to Tunnel and notify IPTN
Which in turn notifies the core Management Device.

Say for example if

z Label10 is binded to Tunnel1 for Network1 – This IPTN notifies to Core
Management Device
z Label20 is binded to Tunnel4 for Network2 - This IPTN notifies to Core
Management Device
z Label30 is binded to Tunnel6 for Network3- This IPTN notifies to Core
Management Device
So the Core Management Device has the information of All the devices and networks.

When Host1 has to send a packet to Host2, It sends the Request Message with
destination (host 2) to Core Management Device. Since now core management device
has the information of the tunnels and label bindings it notifies the same to Host1.
And now Host1 sends packet to Host2 in the following format. i.e. labels are pushed in
the packet

Packet Info.

Label 10

Label 20

Label 30

Figure 4-3 label stack

The Tunnel, which we are going to use, is static-LSP. We bind the label to the static-lsp
through configuration.

4.2 Configuring IPTN

4.2.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

I. Applicable Environments
The LSP that bears IPTN services needs to bind the QoS information of IPTN services
to ensure its carrier-class service quality, and therefore, the dedicated static LSP must
be created for IPTN.
The main difference between the static LSP for IPTN and general static LSPs lies in
that common static LSPs do not assign the ingress labels on Ingress nodes while the
IPTN static LSP binds the names of common static LSPs with the ingress labels of
IPTN. In this way, the static LSP becomes dedicated IPTN LSP.

II. Preconfigured Tasks

Before configuring IPTN, you need to complete the following tasks:

Quidway NetEngine16E/08E/05 Routers Chapter 4 IPTN Configuration

z Configuring IGP to ensure the reachibility between LSRs

z Configuring MPLS basic capability
z Configuring static LSP

III. Data Preparations

To configure IPTN, you need the following data.

No. Data
1 Name of the IPTN
2 In-label of IPTN
3 Name of the static LSP

IV. Configuration Procedures

No. Procedure
1 Configuring IPTN Static LSP Binding

4.2.2 Configuring IPTN Static LSP Binding

Step Action Command

1 Enter system view. system-view
2 Configure IPTN Static LSP iptn iptn-name binding static-lsp-name
Biniding. lsp-name label in-label

Note:
After common static LSPs bound by the IPTN ingress label are in UP state, the static
LSP for IPTN is in UP state.

After the IPTN static LSP binding is cancelled, the system deletes the IPTN forwarding
entries, restores the IPTN static LSP to common static LSP, and creates FTN and
corresponding forwarding entries. In this case, if LDP LSPs of the same FEC exist, they
are deleted.

4.3 Maintaining IPTN

After the above configuration, execute the display command in any view to check the
running of the IPTN configuration, and to verify the effect of the configuration. For more
details, refer to Quidway NetEngine16E/08E/05 Routers Command Reference.

4.4 Configuration Examples

4.4.1 Example for Configuring IPTN

I. Networking Requirements
Create a static LSP, and take the Ingress node as Router A, the Transit node as Router
B, and the Egress node as Router C. IPTN binds the ingress label 180 with this LSP.

each other. Take the display information on Router A as an example.
