Notes

8 A 10G complex refers to a single FP chipset providing 10Gbps full duplex forwarding capacity. In most cases this corresponds to MDA.

3 The maximum VPRN FIB scaling can be influenced by prefix distribution and number of next hops.

9 The chipset making up the forwarding complex or FP on an IOM, IMM, XCM, or XMA includes the following versions:

1) FP includes the first generations 10G chipset used on IOM, IOMB, and IOM2. These IOMs include two 10G forwarding complexes and each 10G complex refers to a single FP

chipset which corresponds to the MDA slot.

2) FP2 is the second generation 100G chipset and includes various versions of FP2 based IOM3 and IMMs. IOM3 and FP2 based IMM uses a single FP2 chipset complex (except

in the case of Magma IMMs) which is shared across all ports or MDAs in the case of IOM3.

3) FP3 is the third generation 400G chipset use on FP3 IMMs.

4) XCM and XMA refer to the XMA Control Modules and XRS Media Adapters used on the XRS platforms. The XCM is based on the FP3 chipset.

12 Fast centralized BFD and sub-second CCM share this space. The combination of the two cannot exceed the stated upper limit of 5000 or their own protocol limits.

13 Down MEPs configured on Ethernet SAPs only, lowest MD-level (when multiple exist on same SAP), able to configure sub-second CCM enabled MEPs on Ethernet-Tunnel

Paths but NOT on the Ethernet Tunnel itself (Eth-tunnel requires Y.1731 context for EAPS support). Fast MEPs are not supported on logical ports, like LAG or again Ethernet-

Tunnels.

14 This is the packet per second rate at which the OAM task can process requests. Any ETH-CFM packet that arrives at the OAM task will be limited by this number. All ETH-

CFM messages are handled by the OAM task except sub second CCM without state changes.

7 LDP FEC scaling is dependent on the data path operation performed, e.g. LSR performs push and swap operations for a /32 FEC, and a swap-only operation for non /32 FECs.

Maximum FEC scaling of 238k based on the total MPLS label space of 256k minus the reserved static label space.

6 When scaling concurrently LDP and T-LDP in the Mobile Backhaul (MBH) model or similar deployments, the constraints below must be followed. For other scenarios requiring

concurrent high scaling please contact the IPCC or PLM

Constraint 1) : Each cell site has concurrently 1 link LDP and one T-LDP adjacency sharing one LDP session (one TCP connection)

Constraint 2): Hello/Keep-Alive Hold Time 180 seconds or higher and a Factor of 3

Constraint 3): Max # of FECs from the core 2k

Constraint 4) : Max # of FECs from the access 2k

Constraint 5) : Max # of services 16k

Constraint 6): Per Peer Policies configured in order to prevent re-advertisement of FECs back to cell site routers

Constraint 7): adv

adj

addr

only option enabled to each backhaul LDP peer to avoid advertisement of unnecessary interface addresses.

4 The ability to reach the maximum IGP scaling limits depends on, but not limited to CPU load, network topology, and the LSA scale per Adj. These scaling limits were designed for

deployments such as MBH architecture model which does not place a high degress of stress in many areas. Note also, that point-to-point adjacencies are more scalable and large

numbers of "broadcast" interfaces will bring the total scaling for adjacencies and interfaces down. For extreme scaling conditions thorough testing must be performed by the

customer. Please contact PLM for additional guidance.

5 The pps limit on the must not be exceeded. BFD is recommended to control scaled VRRP and SRRP deployments and where sub-second timers are required.

11 This does not imply that fault propagation can be configured on all the MEPs on the system. It is not possible to consider all different scenarios where fault propagation may be

deployed and to what scale. Customers must quantify fault propagation in their labs. At this time a conservative approach should be taken when enabling fault propagation (OAM

Mapping).

10 The realistic limit for route policies is mainly controlled by the available CPM memory. Route policies are a collection of policy search trees and APIs called by the individual

routing protocols. The limits below are separated in to theoretical limits and functional limits. The Theoretical limits are based on the data structure sizes and may not be full

obtainable with a given systems memory limits. The functional limits are based on a single configuration type could differ drastically based on a different scenario.

2 The Max VPLS bridging instances per system are inclusive of all LDP signalled, BGP signalled or PBB (ELAN bridge instances) combined

1 This footnote has be removed

19 For example 8M could be generated with 8000 VSI per PE * 1000 PE

36 The IS-IS instance scaling includes IPv6 routing support on platforms with IPv6 support.

33 On multi-slot shelfs the total BFD sessions per system is the sum of the IOM and CPM sessions combined

28 The total per system level VPLS service scaling is inclusive of all VPLS types. When combining LDP VPLS and PBB VPLS the total bridging instances cannot exceed 40k and

If routed VPLS types are included they must stay within their respective limits and are inclusive of the 40k total. If running CPM2 or lower the total combined VPLS scaling is limited

by the 8k or lower limits. Use caution when combining multiple VPLS types to not exceed any single limit. For complex and highly scaled combinations the IPCC or PLM should be

consulted.

29 The maximum MC-EPs tested is 1k, this is not a hard limit. If higher scaling is required please contact IPCC

30 BFD scaling limits must also be taken into consideration with mc-ring scaling.

31 These scaling numbers are dictated by number of ASAP MDAs (2 per system) for U-APS for MLPPP and the practical CES ports (MDA and CMA combined) while allowing for

some form of uplink port

34 The maximu BGP peer scaling limit is based on light-weight per peer route scaling conditions like VPRN route tables. The maximum BGP peer scaling is also based on the

default timers for the protocol. Reducing any BGP protocol timer intervals will affect the maximum achievable scale. The use of BFD should always be considered first for tuning

convergence times related to the protocols. If a customer is committed to approaching this 8k limit the IPCC and PLM should review the application to evaluate risks.

35 Chassis mode D IPv6 maximum FIB limit may be impacted when simultaneously scaling IPv4 routes and IPv6 routes simultaneously. When scaling to extreme limits thorough

testing of the deployment scenario should be conducted. Please contact the IPCC for further guidance.

25 The Max VPLS bridging instances per system are inclusive of all LDP signalled, BGP signalled or PBB (ELAN bridge instances) combined

18 BGP-AD peers scaling limit is with the default keep alive timer values. If more BGP-AD peers are required in a specific application, please contact your regional support to

discuss possibilities of supporting higher numbers using larger keep alive timers.

32 The maximum combined IS-IS instances is a combination of base instances in the GRT + VPRN PE-CE IS-IS intances. It includes 62 VPRN instances configured with PE-CE IS-

IS x 32 IS-IS intances per VPRN = 2016 + 32 GRT base instances. Reference service tab for additional info.

24 Multiple filter entries may be consumed by a single filter match term if ranges are used in the match criteria.

20 For 7450 ESS running in mixed mode, all network IP interfaces must reside on an IOM3 or IMM

21 Carefully review all release notes for any restrictions on 7450 ESS mixed mode hardware support.

23 Consider that LSP scaling limits apply to total signaled LSPs, e.g. if you configure 16k 1:1 FRR LSPs, the total number of signled LSPs will equal a total of 32k LSPs. Transit LSP

scaling requires chassis mode "D"; and SF/CPM3.

22 The combined cannot exceed the maximum shown for either value or the sum of IPv4 & IPv6. Multicast performance is dependent on a number of variables such as packet,

total replications per FP, etc. Depending on the combination of these variables the maximum stated values may not be achievable. It is important that customers validate their

multicast applications prior to deployment to assure planned goals are met.

26 MMRP may be enabled for the first 8K ISIDs/Group BMACs/I-VPLS, the rest must use ISID filters in related BVPLS

27 LDP FEC scaling is dependent on the data path operation performed, e.g. LSR performs push and swap operations for a /32 FEC, and a swap-only operation for non /32 FECs.

Maximum FEC scaling of 238k based on the total MPLS label space of 256k minus the reserved static label space.

source entries must be used. This cuts the effective targets that can be monitored (both directions) by half. At the Alcatel-Lucent solution level, the A1357 LI Mediation device

can accept multiple ip-filter based LI sessions on the same port (e.g. many ip-filter based LI sessions can use the same mirror-dest) which means we can effectively monitor both

directions of communications for thousands of subs.

15 A uni-dir SAP li-source entry means only one of the [ingress] or [egress] keywords have been specified. If both [ingress] and [egress] keywords are specified for a single sap li-

source entry, then two resources are allocated internally. At the Alcatel-Lucent solution level, the A1357 LI Mediation device requires each direction of each SAP being monitored

to be on a unique mirror service (mirror-dest), of which 255 are supported in SR-OS (the remote mirror destination 7750 must direct each mirror-dest onto a unique VLAN/SAP).

This means that although we can specify thousands of SAPs as li-source criteria, effectively only 127 targets can have both directions of their communications monitored. Some

3rd party Mediation devices have similar constraints resulting in the same effective LI target limit. A limit of 255 instead of 127 may be achieved in some cases if the LI Mediation

device (or LEA) can accept both directions of communications as a single stream. The full limits of the node may be achieved if the LI Mediation device can accept multiple SAP

based LI sessions on a single vlan or port and has some other way of separating the individual LI sessions (e.g. by examining an underlying user VLAN tag, or parsing the packets

down to find IP addresses, or parsing the Intercept-Id and Session-Id in the packet when using the Routable Lawful Intercept Encapsulation feature).

16 A uni-dir subscriber li-source entry means only one of the [ingress] or [egress] keywords have been specified. If both [ingress] and [egress] keywords are specified via

CLI/SNMP for a single subscriber li-source entry, then two resources are allocated internally. RADIUS configured subscriber intercepts only use a single resource when both

directions are specified. At the Alcatel-Lucent solution level, the A1357 LI Mediation device can accept multiple subscriber based LI sessions on the same port (e.g. many

subscriber based LI sessions can use the same mirror-dest) which means we can effectively monitor both directions of communications for thousands of subs.

50 Current Internet BGP RIB scaling has been tested for IPv4 only and assumes no IPv6 routes. With reasonable combinations of IPv4 and IPv6 paths, scaling should not be

impacted, however extremely high levels of IPv6 paths could lower the total scaling. If you encounter a highly scaled IPv4 and IPv6 Internet routing environment thorough testing

should be conducted. Contact PLM for further guidance.

39 Note that when supporting protected MLPPP network interfaces, each BPGrps counts as an interface: e.g., if the working and protect interfaces terminate on the same ASAP

MDA this counts as two network interfaces.

37 Note that APS scaling numbers are also determined by port densities of the MDAs (e.g. single port OC12 CES); the number of MDAs supported (e.g. SR & 7710 C4 & C12

support 2 ASAP MDAs per system); practical combinations of MDA and CMA where applicable; and allowing for some form of uplink port. Reference platform specs and release

notes for specific MDA, interface, and APS feature support or dependencies including support for POS, ATM and ASAP MDAs, etc.

38 The packet per second rate for multicore systems is 6000. However, each test under the SAA unbrella has individual scaling properities that mean only the ETH-SLM and ETH-

DMM test under SAA can achieve this pps rate. Other tests are limited to their specific individual limits. None of the remaing tests exceed 200pps, with some as low as 20.

49 5000 clients are supported on CPM3 or CPM4, 1000 clients are supported on CPM2

42 VLL scaling refers to psuedowires (PWs) with at least one MPLS/GRE SDP binding, Epipes refer to Ethernet based P2P service that can be a combination of locally connected

Epipes (sap-to-sap), PWs or PBB based services. The system maximum for Epipe scaling is inclusive of VLL and PBB epipe scaling.

40 1M IPv4 route scale is based on platforms with a mix of FP1, FP2, or FP3 cards, 2M IPv4 routes is based a platforms with FP3 only. 500k IPv6 routes is based on chassis mode

C with IOM2 or higher, 1M Ipv6 routes is for chassis mode D and FP2 or FP3 based cards or higher. Note that 7450 ESS MM does not support chassis mode C or IOM2s.

41 Max unique IP routes BGP RIB scaling is inclusive of both IPv4 and IPv6 scaling combined.

44 These limits scale up linearly, untill other (box wide) limits are reached, eg, the maximum number of subscribers

45 The SROS limit may not be achievable due to supported line card port denisty in the system

46 Soft-GRE tunnesl consume the same IOM resources as required by ESM hosts and are therefore are constrained per IOM ESM host scaling - see Residential tab for further

scaling guidanace

47 The sum of SDP bindings is inclusive of all service SDP bindings (VPLS, VLL, IES, VPRN). SDP bindings influence pw-switching scaling at the ABR or ASBR. Each switched vc

uses two sdp bindings. NOTE: Total bindings across all RVPLS instances must not exceed 32k

48 1588 support on the 7750 SR-c12 requires the use of the CFM-XP-B (Control and Forwarding Module).
