QoS

 Priority queues: eight hardware-based queues per port for
flexible QoS management

 Traffic prioritization: Flow-based QoS with internal and
external (a.k.a., remarking) prioritization

 Bandwidth management: flow based bandwidth
management, ingress rate limiting; egress rate shaping per
port

 Queue management: configurable scheduling algorithm:
Strict Priority (SP), Weighted Round Robin (WRR) and
Deficit Round Robin (DRR)

 Congestion avoidance: Support for end-to-end head-of-line
(E2E-HOL) blocking protection

 Auto QoS for switch management traffic as well as traffic
from Alcatel-Lucent IP phones
L3 Routing and Multicast

 BGP v4

 ISIS

 VRRP v2, v3

 DHCP relay (including generic UDP relay)

 DVMRP
Metro Ethernet access
 Ethernet services support per IEEE 802.1ad Provider Bridge
¬ Transparent LAN Services with Service VLAN (SVLAN) and
Customer VLAN (CVLAN) concept
¬ Ethernet network-to-network interface (NNI) and user
network interface (UNI) services
¬ Service Access Point (SAP) profile identification
¬ CVLAN to SVLAN translation and mapping

 Ethernet OAM compliant with IEEE 802.1ag version 7.0 for
connectivity fault management and IEEE 802.3ah EFM

 Private VLAN feature for user traffic segregation

 DHCP Option 82 – configurable relay agent information

 IP Multicast VLAN (IPMVLAN) for optimized multicast
replication at the edge saving network core resources

 Optimized Ethernet access services delivery
¬ network bandwidth protection against overload of video
traffic
¬ multicast streams isolation from multiple content
provides over the same interface

 MEF 9 and 14 certified

 Managed by Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager
