4.1 FTTC Application This topic provides information about the FTTC application of the MA5606T. Service Description The MA5606T provides the broadband access service.
In the downstream direction, the MA5606T provides a high-speed Internet access for subscribers in remote areas.
In the upstream direction, the MA5606T connects to a BRAS on the convergence layer through its GE optical port. The BRAS then authenticates the users. Network Topology Figure 4-1 shows the FTTC application.

Network Description The MA5606T supports the VDSL2 broadband access services and provides GE ports for connecting to other IP DSLAMs. 4 Network Applications SmartAX MA5606T Multi-service Access Module Product Description
4.2 QinQ Application This topic describes the QinQ application of the MA5606T. Service Description The 802.1q in 802.1q (QinQ) application supports allocation of public VLAN IDs to user packets that have VLAN tags so that the packets can be transmitted in the backbone network using the public VLAN IDs. In this way, public VLAN ID resources are greatly saved, and the P2P interconnection between private line users across the MAN is facilitated. Network Topology Figure 4-4 shows the QinQ application. Figure 4-2 QinQ application Router MA5606T Modem L2 VLAN3 VLAN3 MA5606T VLAN1 user VLAN2 user L2 VLAN1 user VLAN2 user Modem QinQ private line
Network Description In the QinQ application, the user packets transmitted in the backbone network have two layers of VLAN tags: a public VLAN tag and a private VLAN tag.
On the user side
The enterprise users are connected to the MA5606T through the modem and the traffic is delivered in the VLAN mode. The users of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 are connected to the MA5606T. The MA5606T allocates a public VLAN ID (VLAN 3 with the QinQ attribute) to the packets, and forwards the packets to the upper layer network.
On the network side SmartAX MA5606T Multi-service Access Module Product Description 4 Network Applications
In the backbone network, the packets are transmitted based on the public VLAN ID. After the packets reach the MA5606T on the other side of the backbone network, the MA5606T removes the public VLAN tag from the packets, and passes the packets to the user side device. In the QinQ application, the transparent transmission of the private VLAN in the public network is supported. A simple two-layer virtual private network (VPN) channel is provided to realize the function of transparent transmission of private VLANs and services to the peer end and to expand the private network. 4 Network Applications SmartAX MA5606T Multi-service Access Module Product Description
4.3 VLAN Stacking Application This topic describes the VLAN stacking application of the MA5606T. Service Description The MA5606T supports VLAN stacking to realize VLAN extension and multi-ISP wholesale service.
VLAN extension: This is used to increase the number of VLANs and identify users.
Multi-ISP wholesale service: The upper layer network works in L2 working mode and the packets are directly transmitted based on the VLAN and the MAC address. VLAN stacking is similar to QinQ in implementation, but the user packet of VLAN stacking is encapsulated with two VLAN tags and the user packet of QinQ is encapsulated with one VLAN tag. Network Topology Figure 4-5 shows the VLAN stacking application. Figure 4-3 VLAN stacking application L2/L3 BRAS L2/L3 Modem PC PC PC PC ISP2 ISP1 MA5606T MA5606T MA5606T Company A Company B Modem Modem Modem Modem Modem Common Internet users are identified by two VLAN tags with help from the upper layer BRAS Enterprise wholesale users of ISP2 directly connect to ISP2 through L2 forwarding Enterprise wholesale users of ISP1 directly connect to ISP1 through L2 forwarding
BRAS: Broadband Remote Access Server ISP: Internet Service Provider
Network Description In the VLAN stacking application, the BRAS must authenticate both layers of VLAN tags. When a packet reaches the OLT, it is tagged with two VLAN tags (outer VLAN and inner VLAN), and then transmitted to the associated ISP based on the outer VLAN tag. The user is identified by the inner VLAN tag. The VLAN stacking application ensures that the VLANs can be reused, and realizes the multi-IPS wholesale service. 4 Network Applications SmartAX MA5606T Multi-service Access Module Product Description
4.4 Triple Play Application This topic describes the triple play application of the MA5606T. Service Description The MA5606T can provide voice, data, and video services for terminal subscribers simultaneously with appropriate QoS. Such a scenario is called triple play. The MA5606T supports the multi-PVC triple play and single-PVC triple play solutions, and the multi-GEM port triple play and single-GEM port triple play solutions.
Multi-PVC triple play solution
Different PVCs bear different traffic streams.
The MA5606T supports mapping of different PVCs to different service VLANs, and adding different 802.1p priority tags to the VLANs.
In this solution, a home gateway must provide multiple Ethernet ports and support binding between the Ethernet port and the PVC.
Single-PVC triple play solution
It supports differentiation and control of the traffic stream based on the following attributes of the user side packets: Ethernet network type VLAN ID 802.1p domain
In this solution, it is unnecessary to re-configure the existing home gateway, which saves the PVC resources. Network Topology Figure 4-6 shows the triple play application. SmartAX MA5606T Multi-service Access Module Product Description 4 Network Applications
Figure 4-4 Triple Play application BRAS TG IPTV server Home gateway STB TV PC Phone MA5606T L2/L3 LAN switch Triple play Softswitch
Network Description
Voice service The VoIP packets are transmitted to the MA5606T through the home gateway, and then to the .
Data service The data packets from PCs are transmitted to the MA5606T through the home gateway, and then to the IP network in the upstream direction after they are processed by the BRAS.
Video service The video service traffic is delivered over IP multicast traffic, providing users with various programs. The IGMP proxy control packets are sent to the upstream multicast server by the MA5606T, thus realizing management on the multicast users and programs. The video service traffic is sent to the MA5606T by the multicast server. The MA5606T forwards the traffic transparently to the multicast user terminals. At the user end, the set top box (STB) terminates the video signals, performs media conversion, and controls the program switching. The triple play solution enables simultaneous multi-service access on the same user terminal. SmartAX MA5606T Multi-service Access Module Product Description 5 Device Management

5.3.4 Typical Networking Modes This topic describes the typical networking modes of the N2000 BMS and the MA5606T. Overview The N2000 BMS can form a network with the MA5606T through the following:
Inband channels
Outband channels Because both the inband and outband modes have their respective advantages and disadvantages, these two modes are usually combined in actual applications. Inband Mode
Inband mode refers to a networking mode for network device management that is implemented through the service channel provided by the managed devices. In this mode, the network management interaction information is delivered over the service channel provided by the managed device. Figure 5-2 shows the EMS networking in the inband mode. SmartAX MA5606T Multi-service Access Module Product Description 5 Device Management
Figure 5-2 Inband EMS networking MA5606T MA5606T Integrated EMS center EMS client A EMS client B N2000 BMS BRAS
The advantages of the inband networking are as follows:
Flexible networking
Cost-effective, because no additional device is required The disadvantage of the inband networking is that maintenance tasks cannot be carried out when the service channel fails. Outband Mode
The outband mode refers to a networking mode for network device management that is implemented through other channels, and not through the service channel. In this mode, the management channel is independent of the service channel. Figure 5-3 shows the EMS networking in the outband mode. 5 Device Management SmartAX MA5606T Multi-service Access Module Product Description
Figure 5-3 Outband EMS networking MA5606T MA5606T Router Maintenance network port Integrated EMS center EMS client A EMS client B N2000 BMS Maintenance network port
The advantages of the outband networking are as follows:
Channels for device management are more reliable than those in the inband mode.
The N2000 BMS can timely locate the fault in a managed device, and monitor the managed device in real time. The disadvantage of the outband networking is that additional devices are required to provide maintenance channels that are independent of service channels.
