Bridging Network Generations:
From Legacy to Packet
During the last decade, pseudowire technology
has been established as the de facto enabler
for migrating legacy communications services
to next-generation networks.
Born of the necessity to encapsulate and
tunnel Layer 2 protocols across a Layer 3
network, pseudowires are implemented
today in virtually every mainstream service,
transparently carrying voice, video and
data traffic end-to-end over Ethernet, IP or
MPLS backbones. As the telecom industry

Incumbent carriers cut operating
expenditures (OpEx) by moving to cost-
effective packet-switched networks,
while ensuring quality delivery of their
ongoing voice and data commitments
to minimize customer churn.
Service providers and cable
operators with packet-based
infrastructure grow their customer base
by adding traditional leased line and
private line services to their Layer 2
portfolio.

What are Pseudowires?
Pseudowire (PW) emulation is a method
for transmitting TDM, ATM, Ethernet, or
other Layer 2 protocols, over an IP, MPLS
or Ethernet network. It allows a seamless
connection between two network elements
by creating logical links, or virtual tunnels,
across the packet network. The transmitted
data streams are encapsulated in packets upon
entering the network, and then reconstructed
at the pseudowire egress, where clocking

Standardizing Pseudowires
Pseudowire’s growing popularity has
driven industry organizations to establish
a comprehensive set of standards. These
include TDMoIP®, CESoPSN and SAToP for TDM
pseudowires; VPWS and VPLS for Ethernet
pseudowires; as well as detailed pseudowire
schemes for ATM, HDLC and Frame Relay
services.
information is also regenerated. As a result, real-
time traffic is delivered transparently without
distortion, avoiding the complexities of translating
signaling data, while ensuring that synchronization
criteria are met. A service-oriented technology,
pseudowire emulation includes OAM (operations,
administration and maintenance) functionality,
known as VCCV (virtual circuit connectivity
Timing
verification), which enables diagnostic monitoring
of the pseudowire link.

PW Tunnel
The pioneering author of various pseudowire
RFCs, recommendations and implementation
agreements, as well as a prominent member
of the IETF, ITU, MFA, and MEF, RAD has
been actively involved in the creation of the
industry’s major pseudowire standards. RAD
also devotes continuous efforts to promote
pseudowire interoperability among the vendor
community for the benefit of users and
operators alike.
Timing over Packet
While clocking data is transmitted natively in TDM networks, PSNs (packet-switched
networks) are inherently asynchronous because they were originally designed for
delivery of data traffic.
This creates a particular challenge
in ensuring that packet transport
meets “SDH/SONET or better“
performance levels, so that it
constitutes a viable carrier-class
alternative to legacy technologies.
Pseudowire emulation uses resilient
clocking and synchronization
methods to negate the effect
of impairments, such as delay
variation (jitter, wander) and packet
loss, which are intolerable in delay-
sensitive services.
In the last few years, the
solutions for synchronization
over packet have evolved from
borderline science fiction to
reliable mechanisms that are
able to handle packet transport’s
inefficiencies, capture the average
transmission rate of the original
bit stream, and distribute accurate
timing information to all network
elements.
Various TDM and ATM services
have distinct clock recovery
needs; mobile networks, in
particular, require a high degree of
synchronization to maintain proper
service quality. Pseudowire network
elements in cellular backhaul
are therefore required to comply
with stringent industry criteria as
defined in ITU-T G.823/G.824 and
G.8261, using standard methods
such as Synchronous Ethernet, NTR
and IEEE 1588v2. Such elements
need to support definite frequency
accuracy limits for various services,
such as 50 ppb for GSM and
16 ppb for 2G CDMA and 3G UMTS.
