IPRAN ATN+CX (HVPN) Solution
Note: It is recommended to use the LDP technology to create tunnels automatically for LTE X2 services. RSVP-TE configuration
is complex on the full mesh topology.

Data Forwarding
LTE X2 services on an access ring connected to an ASG pair (a master ASG and
its slave ASG) are forwarded between service nodes (CSG1->CSG2).
LTE X2 services on different access rings connected to an ASG pair (a master
ASG and its slave ASG) are forwarded through an ASG (CSG1->ASG1->CSG3).
LTE X2 services on an access ring connected to different ASG pairs are
forwarded between ASGs (CSG1->ASG1->ASG2->CSG4).
CSG3
Acronyms
ETH/IP service: The service layer uses ICMP ping/trace for fault locating. L3VPN uses LSP ping/trace for fault locating.
TDM/ATM service: L2VPN uses LSP ping/trace and PW ping/trace for fault locating.
2G TDM/3G ATM Service Bearing
An ASG sends a default
route instead of a specific
route to a CSG, which
reduces routing entries on
the CSG.

generates a specific route
and reflects it to the RSG.

Multiservices include not only hybrid 2G, 3G, and LTE backhaul services, but also FMC backhaul services,
which ensure the maximum return on customer investment.
Fast E2E protection switching satisfies carrier-class quality requirements.
Comprehensive clock synchronization ensures the quality of services.

2G, 3G, and LTE S1 services require high reliability and therefore RSVP-TE tunnels need to be configured
to carry them.
ASGs are configured with RRs.
CSG routes within an access ring are reflected by
an RR without changing their next hops.
All ASGs set up full mesh iBGP VPNv4 connections
using RRs. After changing the next hops in VPNv4
routes to themselves, ASGs send the routes to the
RSG.
Default routes are manually advertised to CSGs.
By using the default routes, inter-ring X2 traffic can
be forwarded to ASGs.

During packet forwarding,
inner BGP labels are popped in
the uplink direction and
swapped in the downlink
direction, and tunnel labels are
popped.

Compared with the SSPW technology, the MSPW technology enables
an ASG to swap not only
the tunnel label but also
the PW label.
Tunnels are established
between CSGs and ASGs
and between ASGs and
RSGs, but not between
CSGs and RSGs.
