Data Sheet
The Cisco® ML-Series interface cards provide exceptional Ethernet switching and IP routing capabilities for multiservice provisioning platforms (MSPPs). Cisco Systems® has coupled the market-leading optical capabilities of the Cisco ONS 15454 MSPP with proven Cisco IOS® Software to deliver profitable Metro Ethernet and IP solutions over a multiservice network architecture.
BACKGROUND
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Figure 1. Cisco ML-Series Cards for Cisco ONS 15454 MSPP

Table 1. Features and Benefits for QoS
Feature |
Benefit |
Flexible packet classification |
Classifies packets based on input port, VLAN, class of service (CoS), IP Precedence, or IP-differentiated services code points (DSCPs), allowing the service provider to tailor packet handling based on the user's traffic |
Policing |
Through highly granular per-flow and input port policing, allows the service provider to contain a user to the SLA bandwidth requirements, reducing the likelihood that a user will flood the network |
Priority marking |
Provides a mechanism, when using either .1Q or Q, in Q features for a service provider to reclassify (mark) a packet with a wrapper Ethernet 802.1p value, allowing downstream nodes to treat the packet differently and transparently transporting the original CoS bits of the packet across a service provider network |
Per-class queuing |
Provides fair access to excess network resources, allows allocation of bandwidth to support SLAs, and helps ensure that applications with high network resource requirements are adequately serviced |
Weighted Deficit Round-Robin (WDRR) scheduling |
Adds weighting capabilities to deficit round-robin scheduling to provide fair access to excess bandwidth as well as throughput to each class |
Table 2. Features and Benefits for Service Provider Network Architectures
Feature |
Benefit |
Admission control |
During service provisioning, the Cisco ML-Series card verifies that QoS resources have not been accidentally overcommitted. |
Network scaling and flexibility |
The Cisco ML-Series cards support VLAN-ID translation. This capability allows the service provider to change the ingress VLAN tags (802.1Q or 802.1Q in .1Q) to avoid VLAN collisions within the network (resulting from the use of the same VLAN ID by different customers) and translate them back at the egress of the network. |
Network resiliency |
Support for RPR or SONET/SDH provides resiliency of less than 50 ms for data services, depending on the service offering. |
Efficient bandwidth use |
The use of RPR technology allows full use of the network bandwidth during normal network operation of a properly designed network. |
SLA management |
The Cisco IOS Software IP SLA tool monitors packet latency, jitter, and loss over metro optical networks or a combination of metro optical and IP and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. The IP SLA tool can be used with Cisco IOS Software devices and other vendor devices. Comprehensive performance management statistics are provided at the interface or subinterface level (VLAN) for proactive SLA tracking and network problem identification. |
Packet over SONET/SDH (PoS) virtual ports support |
PoS support allows the service provider to transport Ethernet traffic originating on a Cisco ML-Series card over an optical interface and terminate the signal on an optical port of existing Layer 2 and Layer 3 equipment, eliminating the need to bookend the Cisco ML-Series cards within the network. |
Reduced interface costs |
The use of the Cisco ML-Series cards and shared bandwidth transport allows the service provider to benefit from statistically multiplexing the edge traffic before handing off a more efficiently filled interface to the core router or switch. |
