Figure 1-2 reflects the perspective of the frame relay NSP. In general, the frame relay NSP wants to view the DSL providers network exactly as they view a leased line access network. This desire poses special challenges both in the area of traffic management of the data and in management access and administration of the FrameSaverr DSL endpoints. H H H The frame relay NSPs customer is the commercial end user. The frame relay NSP knows what resources are dedicated to each customer. The frame relay NSP has an end-to-end SLA and end user customer focus.

One of the decisions that the DSL provider and frame relay service provider need to make is whether to design the network: H H To transfer data as soon as possible to the frame relay network (see Figure 1-4), or To back-haul the traffic to a small number of interface points between the networks (see Figure 1-5).
The DSL provider uses less bandwidth in the access network if the data is transferred as soon as possible to the frame relay service providers network. However, more Network Node Interface (NNI) points between the two networks must be configured and administered. Back-hauling the traffic to a single NNI helps in administering the NNIs, but uses more circuits and trunk bandwidth. The following diagrams illustrate the two methods.

FRF.8
FRF.8 is a Frame Relay Forum implementation agreement, which is available from the Frame Relay Forum Web page (www.frforum.com). FRF.8 terminates the LMI and translates between ATM (OAM) and FR (LMI) messages and also the indicators in the frame and ATM headers. FRF.8 has two modes: H Transparent mode FRF.8 Transparent mode is typically used in frame relay service deployments as no translation is needed. The data is carried transparently through the ATM network, maintaining its RFC 1490 format, which can be used to encapsulate any desired protocol. The FrameSaver DSL endpoint provides FRF.8 Transparent mode interworking. H Translational mode FRF.8 Translational mode is typically used when an end-to-end frame relay Service is not being deployed and a mixture of CPE access link layer protocols is used. Typically there is a single PVC from the DSL endpoint to each destination location, rather than multiple PVCs to each location or region. Therefore the FRF.8 is more efficient as the LMI is local (that is, there is no LMI overhead to the network interworking point) and there is no frame header overhead. Even if there were more than one PVC at an endpoint, and they all went to the same region, they still might not go through the same internetworking function. It depends on whether the DSL provider is back-hauling the data to a single NNI point for transfer to an Interexchange Carrier (IXC) network (adding latency and causing potential bottlenecks at the NNI) or the data is transferred as soon as possible to the IXC (implying regional NNIs and more internetworking points but also more administrative complexity). In the FrameSaver DSL endpoint, as in most switches today, conversion is performed between ATM OAM F5 AIS/RDI and frame relay LMI DLCI active/inactive indications. This is specified as part of FRF.8 and ensures that VC active/inactive indicators are propagated through the interworking function and across both frame relay and ATM network segments properly. Thus, if an ATM VPI/VCI becomes inactive (due to internal network or local loop failure), the indication that the circuit is inactive will be propagated to the frame relay endpoint and vice versa.

Information Given to the DSL Provider by the Frame Relay Service Provider
Certain information must be communicated between the DSL provider and the NSP when providing network connection of a customer. It is recommended that when a frame relay service provider requests service from the DSL service provider on behalf of a customer, the following information is provided by the frame relay service provider as part of the request/work order. H Customer Related Parameters: Location of Customers equipment Number of PVCs End User Maximum Port Rate (must be greater than the sum of the CIRs of each VC on the DSL line) H NSP Management Access Parameters for each NSP: Node IP address and subnet mask (frame relay NSP address space for frame relay NSP management) (Optional) SNMP Community Name for end-point device (use Community Name 2 for NSP access) H General Circuit Parameters: Circuit Identifier H Frame relay parameters for each PVC: CIR Committed Information Rate Bc Committed Burst Size Be Excess Burst Size H ATM Traffic parameters (as needed) for each nrt-VBR PVC: PCR Peak Cell Rate SCR Sustained Cell Rate MBS Maximum Burst Size CDVT Cell Delay Variation Tolerance

Circuit Identifier
The circuit identifier must uniquely identify the circuit both to the DSL provider and to the frame relay service provider. It is a very powerful parameter as it is used to identify a particular circuit in all future administration of the circuit, such as configuration changes, troubleshooting, and communications between the DSL provider and the frame relay service provider. Maximum advantage is achieved if this circuit identifier is used throughout the DSL provider and frame relay service provider networks in all access equipment and switches, especially at NNI and interworking points. This allows for easier correlation of statistics and status for troubleshooting network problems and any SLA issues that may arise.

Using either approach, the DSL provider needs to have access to: H H H FTP Download, mainly for device software upgrades, using the OpenLane download feature. Telnet, for basic configuration and DSL and ATM layers status information. SNMP agent in the device, via the OpenLanet NMS application. SNMP is primarily used for circuit provisioning, alarm monitoring and reporting, and performance statistics collection.

In the on-demand management approach, the devices management interface uses a temporary IP address. After installation, the management VCs from the NOC to the Hotwire GranDSLAM are torn down. They will be created again by the DSL provider when access to the device is required. The TS Management VCs from the endpoints to the Hotwire GranDSLAM uplink interface are normally left in place as there is really no benefit in tearing them down.

Persistent Management of the FrameSaver DSL Endpoints by the Frame Relay NSP
The frame relay NSP is responsible for several aspects of managing the endpoints. The frame relay service provider is responsible for the complete end-to-end circuits for their customers. The DSL provider should ensure that the frame relay NSP has access to the endpoint. The frame relay NSP may want to access the endpoint for the following purposes: H H H H H H Telnet and SNMP access to perform end-to-end PVC diagnostics FTP and SNMP access to upload information to produce SLA reports Telnet access to configure the endpoint to send traps to their NOC NMS SNMP access to configure the endpoint to send RMON1 Alarms when SLA parameters are exceeded SNMP access to configure the endpoint for collection of RMON2 User History data in support of the SLA FTP and Telnet access to diagnose customer router and LMI problems
To enable such access, additional endpoint provisioning by the NSP can be done using the IP address the DSL provider configured for them during initial configuration (Node IP Address). The additional provisioning done by the frame relay NSP may include configuring their NMS IP address to receive traps, configuring RMON alarm thresholds, enabling RMON Traps and configuring RMON2 bucket collection information in support of their SLA reports. Due to the multiplexing capability of all FrameSaver units, the NSP typically only creates a dedicated management PVC to their customers central site unit. The central site FrameSaver unit routes management traffic in-band to remote units using existing customer data PVCs.

Provisioning Procedures
Note that if you want to configure two different channels on the same VPI, the starting number for the second channel must be at least 432 (24 x 18) higher than the first channels starting number. Verify that the Maximum VCIs per VPI is at least 432 for each VP used for default connections. This is done automatically for Channels 0 and 1, but must be set by the user for Channels 2 and 3 if these are to be used for additional default connections. Set the Maximum VCIs per VPI for the desired uplink VPIs for Channels 2 and 3 and apply the changes before specifying the channels VPI and starting VCI numbers. Execute the Clear Cross Connects command and reboot the SCM. This clears all existing cross connections and defines a new set of memory allocations for the default channels that have just been defined. Memory for 24 connections are reserved for each defined channel for each slot. However the actual cross connections are not actually set up until the cards are installed in the chassis.

" Procedure
1. From the NOC, command the ATM line card to send the endpoint an end-to-end OAM loopback cell on VPI 0, VCI 35. If successful, command the ATM line card to send an end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell towards the network. This will terminate in the NOC at the edge of the ATM network (probably in a NOC router). If successful, the VC has been tested from the endpoint to the NOC. The following screen is used to support the OAM loopback initiation.
2. Configure the NOC router to add a route to the endpoint over the appropriate VC. 3. To assign the IP address to the endpoint, ping the endpoint five times from the NOC router or a workstation, PC, or NMS behind the router. Since the route has been added to the NOC router, the ping will be routed over the management VC to the endpoint. The endpoint will accept the IP address used as the destination of the pings as its temporary IP address for use on the management VC interface. This is a temporary IP address in that it is not maintained across endpoint power cycles. The device will assume a new IP address when it is again pinged five times.

Provisioning Procedures
For on-demand management, no additional configuration of the FrameSaver DSL endpoint device is required. For persistent management, the following additional configuration steps need to be performed.
" Procedure
1. Using OpenLane, create a Dedicated Management VC (as a separate entity from the Temporary Management VC), with VPI=0 and VCI= 50 at the devices end, and cross connect it through the Hotwire GranDSLAM to the DSL providers NOC. Assign to this interface a permanent IP Address (in the DSL providers address space). 2. Set SNMP Traps types and destination. From the Management and Communication Options branch in the FrameSaver DSL units Configuration menu, select the SNMP Traps Options screen: Enable SNMP Traps Set the number of Trap Managers desired (one, at least, corresponding to the NMS station at the DSL Providers NOC ) Configure the IP Addresses of the Trap Managers (for example, the NMS stations at the NOC) Configure the Initial Route Destination for the Traps (choose the name of the dedicated Management VC configured in Step 1) Set the types and the interfaces for the traps that the NOC plans to monitor (typically the General, Enterprise Specific, Link and DLCI traps on all interfaces)

Selection of an ATM Channel In Support of Frame Relay Using FRF.8
Table A-1 contains suggested frame relay to ATM Parameter conversions to be used with a specific DSL line rate for nrt-VBR service. The frame relay service is characterized by CIR, with Tc=1 second. Assumptions are: H H H H Maximum frame size of 8192 bytes Average frame size of 256 bytes Tc of 1 second EIR equal to the DSL line rate With those assumptions, values in Table A-1 are correct for FRF.8 interworking. For other conditions, refer to the formulas in Detailed Formulas for an ATM Channel in Support of Frame Relay Using FRF.8. Table A-1.

Detailed Formulas for an ATM Channel in Support of Frame Relay Using FRF.8
Example 2 of Appendix II of the ATM Forum Traffic Management Specification, version 4.1, suggests the following: The values of PCR and SCRs should be chosen to include the extra margin required to accommodate the overhead introduced in transferring the FRS frames via an ATM network. When the PCR is chosen to emulate the FRS access line rate, the EIR that is allowed in the difference between the access line rate and the CIR. Therefore, the EIR that is allowed possibly exceeds the EIR negotiated for the FRS. However, using traffic shaping, the PCR may be chosen to be the higher of either the required value to achieve the Transfer Delay objective, or the required value to achieve the sum of CIR and EIR to the user. The BT0 should be set to allow the maximum committed burst accepted in FRS to be passed to the PCR. With this in mind, the following method is suggested. 1. Utilize the VBR.3 Conformance Definition (Section 4.5.2.3 of the Traffic Management Specification), with tagging supported. 2. The PCR value should be set for the aggregate (Bc + Be)/Tc rate, adjusted for overhead. 3. The SCR value should be set for the (Bc/Tc) rate, adjusted for overhead. 4. MBS should be set to at least 8 times the frame size in cells for TCP/IP traffic, or, in situations when longer bursts are required, use the values in Table A-1. Those values were generated by formulas Bt0 and MBS0 below. Since average frame size affects some of the following calculations, it is important to select the appropriate value. Smaller frame sizes generally require more overhead (unused bytes per cell) than larger frame sizes (in which the 1 to 47 unused bytes represent a smaller portion of the cell). Although 256 bytes should be appropriate for most applications, if many small cells are sent a lower value may be required. If an unacceptable number of frames is dropped, it may be necessary to set the MBS value to the maximum size allowed by the frame relay network. This could be 4096 bytes or 8192 bytes. The following diagram shows the formulas used for this approach.
