1850 TSS-3

Transport Service Switch

A versatile network termination unit

Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-3 Transport Service Switch2

The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-3) is a carrier-

grade network termination unit (NTU). Providing a rich mix of connectiv-

ity and network services options, it is available in a one-rack unit size,

mountable in a wall, rack, cabinet or table-top setting. Customer-side

Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interfaces can be aggregated and

transported through copper or ﬁber using native Ethernet or Ethernet

over Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH). With its rich management

and QoS features, the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-3 forms a strong foun-

dation for offering end-to-end Ethernet services.

Versatility, to meet customer needs

Customers are using IP-based applications and services at an ever-increasing rate, compelling service

providers to converge network infrastructure into an integrated framework capable of supporting very

high bandwidth, packet-based services. This infrastructure must also be capable of broaching the

ﬁrst and last mile.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-3 meets this need by offering Ethernet access using ﬁber or copper.

The 1850 TSS-3 is a member of the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch portfolio, a

family of products that is helping businesses move gradually from an all-circuit environment to an

all-packet environment, in incremental and affordable steps.

With worldwide appeal, the 1850 TSS-3 is a future-safe, carrier-class Ethernet switch and NTU.

The device’s versatility is demonstrated by its network-side capability of transporting ﬁrst and last

mile (or further) aggregated trafﬁc using ﬁber or copper.

Alternatively, the 1850 TSS-3 can be conﬁgured as a connection between the customer-side LAN

and the service-provider WAN, offering rate-limiting and other cost-optimizing functionalities.

The use of small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules for ﬁber connections offers cost-effective and

scalable functionality common to the entire 1850 TSS family.

Multiple applications

Potential applications for the 1850 TSS-3 include:

•Ethernetdemarcation

•Ethernetserviceaggregation

•EthernetoverPDH(EoPDH)

•Ethernetextension

In Figure 1, the 1850 TSS-3 is in the Ethernet-

demarcation role, with the demarcation point

shown as a dotted line, representing the point

where trafﬁc crosses from the customer-owned

equipment to the service-provider-owned cus-

tomer premises equipment (CPE). At the demar-

cation point, the 1850 TSS-3 accepts the trafﬁc

stream on the customer side and transports

this trafﬁc to one or more network elements

in a carrier Ethernet network. This applica-

tion offers fault diagnostics and monitoring,

trafﬁc rate limiting and virtual LAN (VLAN)

stacking (capability of offering multiple, discrete

VLANs over a single connection).

In Figure 2, the 1850 TSS-3 is in an Ethernet service-aggregation conﬁguration, in this case acting

as a carrier-class Ethernet switch, accepting multiple inputs from the customer side and aggregat-

ing them for onward transmission on the network side. Network-side redundancy can be provided

by Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol or Ethernet dual homing, two methods for providing automatic

backup paths.

a very competitive price. It comes with rich functionality, including

discoveryandauto-negotiationofOAM,linkmonitoringand

remote fault indication.

The 1850 TSS-3 acts as a fully non-blocking Ethernet switch, including

rate-control and control-protocol processing rules. It also offers

Ethernet QoS, as deﬁned by the service provider, at the CPE demarca-

tion point. Service differentiation becomes possible and time-sensitive

trafﬁc is given precedence. Finally, a variety of redundancy schemes

are available, depending upon the application chosen. All this makes

the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-3 a leading CPE device.
