 Power board area: Inserted with 2 DC power boards.
 Control/switch/clock/service area: Inserted with control, switch,clock and communication
processing units, auxiliary interface.
3.4.1.2 Working Principle of Hardware System
ZXCTN 6120H-S uses a centralized switching architecture.
After the normal service flow is processed by physical-layer chip, the packet is directly sent to
control/switching chip and then to the corresponding board port through the switching network.
For example, before special service information such as 1588 PTP or OAM packets sent to
the switching network, the board itself pre-processes the packets and then sends them to the
main switching chip to determine whether the service is terminated or forwarded as a final
result.

3.4.2 System Software Architecture
Figure 3- 5 Distributed routing operating system
ROSNG software architecture design breaks through the integrated software design solution
of the traditional embedded system, and its software system supports dynamic loading
module. The entire ROSNG software system runs in a micro-kernel operating system. System
kernel resources run in the highest-level privileged mode. The application protocols and
service function components of the system run in the lower level privileged mode. The failure
of this application would not destroy the kernel resources, achieving upper and lower isolation
between kernel and application. Meanwhile, each application separately runs in independent
user state spaces, which are also separated from each other. The illegal operation of the
program in one process and the out-of-bounds modificationwill not damage other application
processes, enabling the separation between the left and right.
3.4.3 Control System Architecture
The entire network system is divided into Application Plane, Orchestration Plane, Controller
Plane, and Forwarding Plane from top to bottom.
 Application layer is mainly related to the service application, such as the L2VPN service,
the L3VPN service, and the traffic optimization. The APP server converts the service
requirement of the user side to the operation primitive through the RESTCONF interface,
and sends it to the orchestration layer.
 Orchestration layer transmits it to the control layer through the RESTCONF interface in a
finer granularity. The control layer can be divided into single-domain controllers,
multi-domain, multi-layer , multi-vendor controllers.

 After the internal calculation of the controller layer, it is sent to the forwarding plane
through the SBI, affecting network devices.
Figure 3- 6 ZENIC ONE controller architecture

4.2FlexE Functions
FlexE technology adds a FlexE Shim layer between RS (Regenerator Section) and PCS
(Physical Coding Sublayer) of the IEEE802.3 protocol stack, separating the service logic layer
from the physical layer. By bonding multiple PHY links, it transmits much more Ethernet
service traffic. Thus, logical layer can implement link bonding, sub-rate, channelized and
other functions as well as network slicing.
Slicing channel cross connection (SC-XC) is an end-to-end(E2E) networking-level technology
by reusing FlexE shim layer which can reduce forwarding latency through the cross of FlexE
bit blocks. In the SC-XC E2E packet forwarding network, PE node supports statistical
multiplexing based on packet forwarding and P node supports SC-XC to allow L1 flow switch.
Figure 4- 1 FlexE architecture
FlexE consists of FlexE Client, FlexE Shim and FlexE Group.
 FlexE Client : 64/66B Ethernet code streams support n*5G rates.
 FlexE Shim : Sublayer between the Mac/RS and PCS/PHY layers performs multiplexing
and demultiplexing between FlexE Client and FlexE Group.
 FlexE Group : A group of bonded FlexE PHYs
FlexE functions:
 Link bonding : It provides a large transport pipeline by bonding multiple FlexE PHYs.

Support TPID modification
Support 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 QinQ functions
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports port-based VLAN. Access, Trunk and Hybrid interfaces are
provided according to whether the packets sent and received by the interface are
encapsulated with VLAN Tags.
In order to extend the address space of the VLAN ID and improve security, ZXCTN 6120H-S
extends the VLAN based on IEEE802.1Q, namely QinQ. QinQ, also known as single stacked
VLAN or dual VLAN, encapsulates the VLAN tag of private network into the VLAN tag of
public network, so that these packets can pass through the backbone network (public network)
of operators with two layers of VLAN tags. Since QinQ has two layers of labels, it extends the
VLAN range of the metro backbone networks.
4.3.3 Link Aggregation (LAG)
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports link aggregation which technically binds a group of physical
interfaces. These interfaces are logically act as one link.
Link aggregation is a way to increase bandwidth and improves reliability by binding physical
links. Link aggregation can increase bandwidth between different devices, increasing link
transmission flexibility and redundancy. When some links of the link aggregation group(LAG)
failed, the link aggregation function can protect the transmission of faulty link and switch the
service to the working link of the same link aggregation group, thereby significantly improving
the transmission reliability.
ZXCTN 6120H-S implements not only manual load sharing link aggregation, but also Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) defined by IEEE 802.3ad. It supports interface binding,
MAC/VLAN/IP-based load balancing.
4.3.4 STP Functions

the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) conforming to the IEEE802.1w, and the Multiple
Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) conforming to the IEEE802.1s.
To ensure the topology stability of the L2 switching network, ZXCTN 6120H-S uses BPDU,
ZXCTN 6120H-S V5.10.00Product Description
20 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
Root, loop and other protection mechanisms. ZXCTN 6120H-S provides a port-based
protocol closing function.
4.3.5 DHCP Relay
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses to hosts.
After obtaining the IP address, the host can initiate IP communication through the IP address.
In the LTE phase, DHCP is required to dynamically assign addresses to eNB to improve the
automation of the network.
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Relay function.
DHCP Server is usually deployed in aggregation-layer or core-layer devices, thus it is
required that the DHCP packet of the host can penetrate different sub-nets to reach the
DHCP server. In order to support penetration, the ZXCTN 6120H-S can snoop and relay the
DHCP packets.
4.3.6 Multicast

4.5MPLS
4.5.1 Overview of MPLS
In order to improve the forwarding speed of the router, Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
is proposed first. Currently, the MPLS is developing for backbone router and VPN solutions.
MPLS combines powerful L3 routing function of IP network and efficient forwarding
mechanism of traditional L2 network, and adopts connection-oriented mode in the forwarding
plane, which is similar to existent L2 forwarding mode. This enables MPLS to easily realize

(QoS). Therefore, MPLS has become an important standard for data network scale expansion
and operability improvement.
4.5.2 MPLS Network Architecture
Typical MPLS network architecture is shown below. The basic element of MPLS network is
Label Switch Router (LSR). The network domain formed by LSRs is called MPLS domain.
LSRs located at the edge of MPLS domain and connected to other networks are called a
Label Edge Router (LER), and LSRs in MPLS domain are called core LSR. If the LSR has
one or more neighbors that do not run the MPLS, the LSR is the LER. If all neighboring nodes
of the LSR run the MPLS, the LSR is the core LSR.
Figure 4- 2 MPLS network architecture
ZXCTN 6120H-S can work as an LSR and LER.
4.5.3 MPLS Basic Functions
MPLS system architecture of ZXCTN 6120H-S conforms to the standard : Multi-protocol Label
Switching Architecture (RFC 3031).
ZXCTN 6120H-S's tag stack structure conforms to the standard: MPLS Label Stack Encoding
(RFC 3032).
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports the following basic MPLS functions:
 Tag space management of each platform
 Domain management of static/dynamic tags
 Ingress node service and label processing
ZXCTN 6120H-S V5.10.00Product Description
24 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
 Export node service and label processing
 Intermediate node tag processing
 Tag stack nesting
4.5.4 LDP
MPLS system has multiple label distribution protocols. LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) is
one of the basic signaling of the MPLS. It is mainly used to establish and maintain LSP/PW. It
is the most commonly used LSP/PW signaling protocol in the current network. In a hybrid
network including ZXCTN 6120H-S and traditional IP/MPLS routers, LDP LSPs are
established by interconnecting LDP and IP/MPLS routers in existing networks.
 Release and management of LDP LSP labels
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports the following LDP label distribution and management mode
combinations: downstream autonomous mode (DU) + Independent tag control mode
(Independent) + liberal tag retention mode (Liberal).
 LDP LSP creation
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports the binding of FECs and labels through LDP, and notifies the
bindings to neighboring LSRs of the LSP to establish LSPs.
 LDP MD-5 certification
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports MD-5 encryption and is compliant with RFC 3036.
4.5.5 RSVP-TE
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is designed for the integrated service model and used
for resource reservation of LSP nodes. The RSVP works on the transport layer but does not
participate in application data transfer. It is a network control protocol similar to the ICMP.
The extended RSVP of ZXCTN 6120H-S can support the distribution of MPLS labels and
carry resource reservation information when transmitting label binding information. The
extended RSVP is called RSVP TE and is used to establish a LSP tunnel as a signaling
protocol to implement the following functions:

EVPN is a VPN technology used for L2 network interconnection.The EVPN technology
adopts a mechanism similar to BGP/MPLS IP VPN. Through the extension BGP, an extended
and reachable information is used to transfer the MAC address learning and publishing
process between L2 networks at different sites from the data plane to control plane. Through
protocol extension, it can also support the creation of L3 VPN, thus the original independent
L2VPN and L3VPN can be unified into EVPN.
EVPN deployment can provide users with the following benefits:
 Reduce ARP broadcast traffic
 No needs for full links to save network resources
 Improve link utilization and transmission efficiency
4.9SDN
SDN (Software Defined Network) decouples network functions and service processing
functions from network device hardware and controls abstracted network objects through an
external controller. SDN contains both controller and control protocol. The controller manages
and controls entire network devices, manages forwarding path delivery, controls network
devices and monitors their running statuses. Control protocol defines inter-operability
language between controller and network device. Controller performs forwarding path delivery
and device management monitoring on all network devices through control protocol.

4.10 SR
4.10.1 Segment Routing MPLS
Segment Routing MPLS refers to Segment Routing based on MPLS forwarding plane,
hereafter referred to as Segment Routing. Segment Routing divides the network path into
segments and assigns segment IDs to these segments and the forwarding nodes in the
network. A forwarding path can be obtained by ordering the segments and network nodes in
order (Segment List).

4.10.2 SR Architecture
Transport network SR solution is based on SDN architecture and is implemented in
conjunction with a distributed control plane. SR identifies connection through an ordered set
of tags. The path of services varies with the contents of tag stack. This kind of flexible and
programmable feature seamlessly integrates with the SDN controller. SDN controller
calculates end-to-end SR paths and then generates a complete label stack and delivers it to
ZXCTN 6120H-S V5.10.00Product Description
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 29
the device to create SR tunnel.
Figure 4- 4 SR mechanism
4.10.3 SR-BE
The distributed routing protocol based on SR extension implements basic network topology
collection, SR label forwarding table formation and FRR local protection. SR-BE (Segment
Routing Best Effort) means that IGP calculates the optimal SR LSP through the shortest path
algorithm. A tunnel using SR-BE can control the transmission path of packets in the network
according to the MPLS label of the first node.
4.10.4 SR-TE
SR is a segment routing technology. The information of the SR tunnel exists only with the
head node. Other nodes on the path are not aware of the service and cannot reserve
bandwidth for the service at the device layer, so the traffic engineering of the SR needs to be
completed by the controller. The controller maintains global topology and TE (Traffic
Engineering) information and calculates the end-to-end path according to the service request
(first node, last node and bandwidth) and routing policy (minimum hop number, minimum
latency, load balancing, etc.) to form a strict constraint path hop by hop and reserve
bandwidth on the control plane for end-to-end TE capability.
4.10.5 Segment Routing IPv6
Segment Routing IPv6 (Segment Routing IPv6) is a protocol designed to forward IPv6
packets over the network based on the concept of source routing. By inserting a route
extension header SRH (Segment Routing Header) in the IPv6 message, the SRv6 presses an
explicit IPv6 address stack in the SRH. The intermediate node continuously updates the
destination address and offsets the address stack to complete hop-by-hop forwarding. The
ZXCTN 6120H-S V5.10.00Product Description
30 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
SRv6 does not use the MPLS technology and is compatible with the existing IPv6 network.
SRv6 has the following advantages:
 In the IGP domain, only needs to run IGP, while LDP/RSVP does not need to run,
simplifying the network.
 Does not need to maintain the status information of the forwarding path at intermediate
nodes, it solves the scalability problem of the large-capacity TE path and can implement
large-scale TE path planning. It can meet the massive connection requirements of 5G
networks.
 Only needs to calculate and maintain path information at the head node, it is more
suitable for SDN controller to calculate and deliver path information. Implements
automatic traffic engineering to achieve load balancing of network traffic.
 SR makes it possible for TI-LFA FRR.
 SRv6 can implement VPN more simply by directly using IPv6 address to identify VPN.

4.11 Network Slicing
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports flexible Ethernet-based network slicing.
4.11.1 Network Slicing Architecture
Transport network slicing utilizes network topology resources such as links, nodes, ports, and
network elements of internal resources, virtualization and on-demand organization to form
multiple virtual networks vNet (i.e., slice networks). Overall structure is divided into customer
tenant layer, service layer, virtual network layer and physical network layer. Virtual network
(vNet) has the characteristics similar to a physical network, including separate management
plane, control plane, and forwarding plane. Each vNet can independently support a variety of
services such as EPL/EVPL, EPLAN/EVPLAN. Service is over vNet and the physical
network does not know the service which decouples physical network resources.
The vNet-based sub-slice supports operational services such as virtual operators,
sub-operators and network leases.
Figure 4- 5 Overview of Network slicing
4.11.2 Slicing based on FlexE
Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) is based on forwarding in PHY layer slice to provide tight pipeline
isolation and flexible bandwidth allocation. ZTE creatively introduces three key technologies:
slicing channel cross connection(SC-XC), OAM and protection. It successfully transforms
FlexE into a network-level technology, which is called slicing channel technology. Slicing
channel is network-level technology, which enable end-to-end channel isolation for different
services. Meanwhile, protection based on slicing channel can be switched within 1ms when
fault occurs.

4.12 Ultra-low Latency
Traditional packet device adopts a hop-by-hop forwarding policy for customer service packets.
Each node device in network needs to analyze the MAC layer and MPLS layer of the data
packet. This kind of solution would takes a lot of time and the single device forwarding latency
is up to dozens of us.
Slicing channel technology supports physical-layer forwardingbased on the user service flow
through time-slot cross technology. User data packet does not need to be parsed on the P
node and the service flow forwarding process is almost real-time. The single-hop device
forwarding latency is less than 3us, laying a foundation for service extension.

4.16 Telemetry
ZXCTN 6120H-S can report related data via telemetry technology.
As the equipment scale of the SDN increases, an increasing number of services are
transmitted and users have higher requirements for intelligent operation and maintenance of
the SDN, including higher-precision data monitoring for timely detection and rapid adjustment
of slight-burst traffic. Meanwhile, the monitoring process has little impact on the device's own
functions and performance to improve the utilization rate of devices and networks.
Telemetry is a remote technology for collecting data at high speed from physical or virtual
devices. The device periodically sends the device's interface traffic statistics, CPU, memory
data and other information to the collector in the push mode. Compared with the
question-and-answer interaction of traditional pull mode, it provides more real-time and
higher-speed data collection.

SR protection, Tunnel/ PW protection, etc.
4.17.2.1 Slicing Channel Protection
Based on the standard FlexE interface technology, physical layer link group FlexE Group is
bound to multiple physical PHY layer links. If some PHY links fail, backup PHY links will be
used to transmit FlexE Client services, ensuring the normal delivery of services.
Protection at the slicing channel layer improves the reliability of customer services
transmission in the slicing channel. When customer services fail in a channel, they are quickly
switched to another channel for transmission. Protection method supports 1:1 slicing channel
protection.
4.17.2.2 SR Protection
SR technology can easily protect service paths. It is only required that the first node of the
service saves relevant protection path information.
 TI-LFA FRR

50ms. ZXCTN 6120H-S supports wrapping ring and shared ring protection.
4.17.3 Access Link Protection
4.17.3.1 Ethernet LAG
Link Aggregation is to bind a group of physical Ethernet interfaces of the same rate as a
logical interface (link aggregation group) to increase bandwidth and provide link protection.
Ethernet LAG protection supports load balancing and non-load sharing of ports. In the load
balancing mode, the device automatically distributes the traffic load to multiple physical ports
in the aggregation group. When one of these physical ports fails, traffic on the failed port is
automatically shared with other physical ports. After the fault is recovered, traffic is
redistributed to ensure load balancing between the ports that are aggregated. In non-load
balancing mode, only traffic on the active link exists in the aggregation group and the standby
link is in the standby status. This actually provides a backup mechanism. When active link in
the aggregate fails, the system uses standby link as the active link to shield the link from
failure.
ZXCTN 6120H-S supports the following functions:
 UNI supports LAG and as well as manual aggregation and static LACP aggregation.
 UNI supports the active/standby mode (non-load sharing) in the LAG mode based on the
LACP.

quickly switch services from the failed link to the backup path after detecting the link/node
failure, which reduces data loss. It supports the following functions:
 IP FRR
 LDP FRR
 TE FRR detour and bypass protection
 L3 VPN FRR
 L2 VPN FRR

4.20.1.1 Command Line Hierarchical Protection
ZXCTN 6120H-S allows users to log in telnet via Ethernet interfaces. However, for security
reasons, devices require users to perform login authentication. Only the user who completes
authentication can log in, configure and maintain.
ZXCTN 6120H-S provides hierarchical protection for operation and maintenance command
lines. The command line has 4 levels: access, supervision, configuration and management
and users login also have four levels. After logging in to ZXCTN 6120H-S, users can only

4.20.2 Network Security
4.20.2.1 VPN Isolation
ZXCTN 6120H-S uses an isolated interface such as VLAN and extension technologies (such
as PVLAN and QinQ) to shield user network on the transport network, ensuring the security of
users service network and controlling unnecessary broadcasts to increase network
throughput.
IP VPN based on IP/MPLS can isolate services well with good QoS, scalability and
manageability.
4.20.2.2 Ethernet VLAN/MAC Spoofing and Attack
ZXCTN 6120H-S uses VLAN plus MAC to filter illegal information so as to improve network
security. Administrators add static entries to MAC address table and bind specific MAC
addresses to the interface to prevent attacks based on MAC address spoofing.
ZXCTN 6120H-S can filter illegal MACs. When the maintenance staff knows that these MAC
ZXCTN 6120H-S V5.10.00Product Description
44 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary
address information have the possibility of attack, they will be manually configured as an
illegal MAC address. When device receives a message, it compares the source or destination
MAC address of the message with the MAC address entry. If this MAC is illegal in the MAC
table, these information will be discarded and the source will not be notified.
In addition, ZXCTN 6120H-S applies ACLs to ports. By analyzing VLAN, IP address, port
number and protocol number of the information, devices can automatically filter information to
prevent network attacks.
4.20.2.3 Prevention of Other Attacks
ZXCTN 6120H-S also supports the following checks and anti-attack features:
 Source address spoofing
 LAND
 SYN Flood (TCP SYN)
 Smurf
 Ping Flood (ICMP Echo)
 Teardrop
 Ping of Death
