Alcatel-Lucent SyncWatch Integration

SyncWatch Integration SyncWatch integrates Northbound using SNMP v2c Can interface to any NMS or OSS system. SyncWatch; Is an independent sync performance monitoring tool It can test the performance of any network and vendors equipment Provides industry standard measurements to ns resolution SyncWatch is not network aware; It does not know the route(s) PTP packets have taken to arrive at the point of measurement from the GrandMaster source It may not know how SyncE or Legacy delivered sync has been engineered in the network 5620 SAM & 5650 CPAM; Understand the network architecture, device capability and the end points of services (remember PTP/1588 flows are services in this context) By knowing the independent performance of sync (at the point of measurement and connecting it with the knowledge of the network architecture the whole system becomes even more powerful.

SyncWatch NetSMART Real time alerting, near real time reporting SNMP One to many system Monitoring and Alerting GPS User set TCAs* Provides long term history Identifies common network issues NetSMART Probe 3, 10, 30, 100, 400+ Probe GPS GPS Integrates with SNMP management systems GPS Probe GPS Network performance trending Probe Choice of references, internal or external Probe *Threshold Crossing Alarms External reference Optional Rubidium reference

SyncWatch NetSMART platform

SyncWatch NetSMART SyncWatch can operate as a separate sync monitoring system. Provides independent evidence of sync performance at the point of measurement Even if an operator has SyncWatch and other NMS/OSS, SyncWatch can still operate on its own and provide valuable performance data Event that triggered MTIE exception MTIE data has exceeded the threshold mask

Network Layer Sync Visibility & Health Alcatel-Lucent Sync Solution Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM + 5650 CPAM provide an integrated end-to-end sync service for sync over packet (SOP) IEEE 1588v2 Sync service has one navigation point for alarms, stats and path information for slaves and masters (sync manager) Sync service is correlation point for NE level alarms; eg. switch from master1 -> master2 Sync stat TCAs Sync service paths can easily be seen on MAP; eg. did routing move the path? End to end sync path audits (Using CPAM) Sync service correlates alarms & status for the end-toend path from slaves to masters Sync tree can be seen on MAP; eg. master to all slaves (active or potentially active) (Using CPAM) Sync status can easily be seen on MAP; eg. nodes in hold over, nodes with failed BITS, selected masters (Using CPAM) ALU sync solution makes it easier to plan, detect faults & correct failures in SOP networks IEEE 1588v2 Sync Slave IEEE 1588v2 Sync Service Path Highlight Sync Service E-2-E Visibility Correlation Path Health Alcatel-Lucent SAM / CPAM Slave Status / Alarm Sync Path Congested Link Boundary Clock Master BITS Sync SAM 11.0/CPAM 7.0

Alcatel-Lucent SyncWatch Integration Alcatel-Lucent & Chronos joint development to extend current integration to provide alarm correlation into sync service SyncWatch NetSMART manages sync quality probes in the network Sync dynamics like wander, LOS, Sync MTIE alarms and reporting 5620 SAM + 5650 CPAM <> SyncWatch Integration extends the sync service with new information SyncWatch Probes are discovered via GNE (ifmib / sysmib) into physical map SyncWatch alarms propagate to SAM and are correlated to the probe measurement port SAM+CPAM sync service provides an end to end correlated view of alarms including probe alarms Sync Alarms Sync Health Chronos SyncWatch Sources & Probes MTIE Events P Sync Service E-2-E Visibility Alcatel-Lucent SAM / CPAM Network Layer Sync Service GM Probe Event MTIE Wander / Loss SAM+CPAM Event Path re route & OAM loss

SyncWatch / SAM Integration Integration via a generic network element Profile: Alarm catalogue supports integration of SyncWatch alarms Cross launching of SyncWatch NetSMART from the 5620 SAM UI MAP GNE profile for SyncWatch NetSMART and probes enables visualization on the physical maps Syncwatch NetSMART sends traps on behalf of the probes with the interface information to identify the device under test Cross Launch Direct from 5620 SAM
