ATM Services Configuration Guide for CBX 3500, CBX 500, GX 550, and B-STDX 9000

Allocating Logical Port Bandwidth on CBX 500 Shared SP Threads
Shared SP Thread Example

Beta Draft Confidential

The 599.040 Mbps bandwidth value is available exclusively for user cell traffic. 
Management and internal switch control traffic have the potential to use a maximum 
of 11 Mbps of thread bandwidth, but this value is already factored into the total 
available thread bandwidth. The total available thread bandwidth starts at 611 Mbps, 
and once the NMS reserves 11 Mbps for management and control traffic, 599.040 
Mbps remains exclusively for user cell traffic. At no time does management or 
internal control traffic conflict with the 599.040 Mbps of user cell traffic. If user cell 
traffic exceeds 599.040 Mbps, user traffic may be lost (depending on the QoS class of 
the user cell traffic) if the following conditions exist:

•

User traffic is a lesser priority than the management and internal control traffic

•

User traffic exceeds the overall 611 Mbps thread capacity

This NMS enforcement of SP thread bandwidth only applies when the switch has two 
IOMs installed on the same SP thread. If the switch only has one IOM on a thread, the 
maximum possible logical port bandwidth for all ports on the IOM is supported by the 
599.040 Mbps limit. 

Shared SP Thread Example

When a switch has two IOMs installed on an SP thread, you will notice the NMS 
enforcement of the SP thread bandwidth whenever you attempt to provision two 
OC-3/STM1 cards on the same SP fabric thread. As you provision logical ports, the 
NMS subtracts the assigned bandwidth from the 599.040 Mbps total. After you 
provision four OC-3/STM1 logical ports on the first OC-3/STM1 card using the 
maximum 149.76 Mbps of bandwidth, there will not be any bandwidth left for the 
other OC-3/STM1 card and its logical ports. 

Consequently, when you have two cards installed on the same fabric thread, Lucent 
recommends that you allocate the bandwidth accordingly, across all of the IOM ports. 
In this example, you would allocate approximately 75 Mbps to each of the eight 
logical ports. This enables each logical port to support 75 Mbps of constant bit rate 
(CBR) traffic, and consequently allows full use of the thread bandwidth. 

Even when you use 75 Mbps per logical port, you can still oversubscribe the logical 
port to overbook the VBR and UBR service classes on the port. For example, by 
reserving 10% of each logical port’s bandwidth (that is, 75 Mbps) for UBR traffic and 
overbooking the UBR bandwidth, hundreds of UBR circuits can be set up. Since UBR 
circuits are not policed, these best-effort UBR circuits can potentially utilize the full 
port bandwidth of each logical port, and consequently the full thread bandwidth. 
However, at periods when the combined UBR traffic exceeds thread bandwidth, the 
excess UBR traffic is dropped.
