Feature Overview

Single Ring Recovery (SRR) is an extension to the Spatial Reuse Protocol (SRP) protocol in Dynamic Packet Transport (DPT) rings. If multiple failures occur on one of the two counter-rotating SRP rings, the SRR protocol switches all traffic to the error-free ring, allowing the system to operate with full connectivity.

In all other cases, the SRP ring operates in standard Intelligent Protection Switching (IPS) behavior.

A summary of SRP ring behavior with SRR enabled is shown in the table below:

Failure
Wrap
Ring Usage

Single failure on a ring

Yes

Both rings are used in standard IPS behavior.

More than one failure on a single ring (no failures on the other ring).

No

Only the failure free ring is used (all nodes are in IPS lockout).

Failures on both rings

Yes

Both rings are used in standard IPS behavior.


SRR Discovery and Announcement Packets

An SRR packet is a new type of SRP control packet that travels around the ring in a store-and-forward fashion. The SRR packet is used for two main purposes:

•To discover how many failures are present on each of the rings.

•To announce the discovered state to the other nodes on the ring.

Nodes send Discovery SRR packets around the SRP ring to discover if failures are present. If multiple failures are discovered on one of the two rings, and the other ring is failure free, the node sends an Announcement packet directing the other nodes to use only the failure free ring.

When receiving an SRR packet, each node updates the appropriate counters and forwards the packet to the next node.

When no failure is present on the SRP ring, an SRR Discovery packet is sent every 10 seconds (the interval between packets is user configurable). This Discovery packet is only used to confirm that SRR operates normally for all the nodes on the ring and that all nodes support the same SRR version.

Note SRR packets are source stripped by the originator and never wrap around the ring. Once an SRR packet is transmitted on a ring, it remains on the same ring until stripped.

When a node detects a local failure (or if a failure clears), it injects a Discovery packet on each of the rings:

•The Discovery packets travel around the ring.

•Each node updates the packet with local failure information.

•If a Discovery packet successfully goes around a ring, the originator can detect the number of failures present on both rings.

When the originating node receives its own Discovery packet, it transmits an Announcement packet indicating the number of failures present on each of the rings. If the originating node detects multiple failures on one of the rings and no failures on the other ring, it enables the single ring mode. All the other nodes will receive the Announcement packet and also enable the single ring mode, if necessary. An Announcement packet is also a new Discovery packet and is transmitted once every second.

If a node in single ring mode receives an SRR packet reporting a failure on the "sane" ring or indicating that only one or no failures are present on the "failed" ring, single ring mode is disabled and the node uses both rings under normal IPS behavior.

Note The ring will also return to normal IPS behavior if the user configures a node to Forced Switch.

To prevent oscillations, a failure is considered present for an additional period of time, called the SRR WTR, after it has disappeared.

If the mate cable is disconnected between two single interface DPT line cards, or a Forced Switch is issued, the source forced switch indication is changed to SRR prevention (SP) indicating that single ring mode cannot be used.

SRR states

Every node can be in either of two possible states:

Discovery state:

•local failure present or

•local "Forced Switch" request is present

Idle state

otherwise

SRR modes

In addition to the two states, a node can also have the following modes enabled:

Announcement mode

When a node receives its own Discovery packet indicating the number of failures on each ring, it transmits an Announcement packet to the other nodes containing this information.

Single ring mode:

A node is in IPS lockout and is redirecting all data traffic to the failure free ring.

SRR in rings with Cisco ONS 1519x IP Transport Concentrator

For DPT rings that operate in a "inner-outer" fiber topology with two Cisco ONS 1519x IP Transport Concentrators, SRR provides redundancy to maintain full connectivity. In the event of a failure in one Cisco ONS 1519x, connectivity is maintained on the remaining ring.

Benefits

The SRR protocol provides DPT metro rings and PoPs with enhanced transport resiliency:

•A DPT ring can maintain connectivity with multiple failures on the same ring by allowing a DPT ring to operate over a single fiber.

•IPS functionality is not compromised.

•Supports physical ring connectivity or Cisco ONS 1519x star wiring.

•Provides Cisco ONS 1519x box redundancy.

Restrictions

Topology and Other Control Types

Since SRR enables an SRP ring to work over a single ring, no SRP control mechanism should assume a particular ring as its transmission path. Example: the topology should be able to work on either the inner or outer ring and not assume the outer ring is always available as is the case in a standard SRP ring.

Note When the single ring mode is enabled by SRR, topology will not report the node as being wrapped since they are locked-out.

Fairness

In an OC-48 DPT ring, the default static fairness limiter is 400 megabits per second (configurable between 1 to 2488 megabits per second). This value can be configured using the command srp srr bandwidth.

In an OC-12 DPT ring, the static fairness limiter is not configured. Rather it is set to the total bandwidth divided by two more than the number of nodes, for example 622Mbps/(number of nodes +2).

Clock Source

Because SRR converges slowly when `line' clock-source is used, the `internal' clock source should be used in all SRR enabled routers.

Related Features and Technologies

Intelligent Protection Switching (IPS)

SRR operates with standard IPS in the following ways:

•SRR relies on IPS to detect the local failure status of the node. It monitors the IPS status of both sides for an eventual "Signal Fail" or "Forced Switch" to occur.

•SRR doesn't consider remote failures transmitted through IPS short or long path messages.

•Whenever SRR enables the single ring mode, it will prevent IPS from wrapping the node by enabling IPS lockout on the node.

•When the single ring mode is not enabled by SRR, the SRP ring will follow standard IPS behavior and wrap accordingly.

Prerequisites

SRR requires a fully SRR compatible ring to operate. In order for SRR to converge:

•all nodes on the SRP ring must support SRR

•all nodes must support the same SRR version

If one or more of the nodes does not support SRR or has a different SRR version, SRR will have no effect and the ring will operate like a standard SRP ring without SRR.

Configuration Tasks

See the following sections for configuration tasks for the SRR feature. Each task in the list is identified as either optional or required.

•Enabling the SRR Protocol (required)

•Setting the SRR Parameters (optional)

•Configure WRED (optional but recommended)

•Repeat the Configuration Process for all Other Ring Nodes (required)

Enabling the SRR Protocol

By default, the SRR protocol is disabled. Follow the steps below to enable the SRR protocol on each node:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router# configure terminal

Enter the global configuration mode.

Step 2 

Router(config)# interface srp x/x

Specify the SRP interface port.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# srp srr enable

Enable the SRR protocol for the specified port.

Setting the SRR Parameters

Default values are automatically entered for the SRR parameters when the protocol is enabled. The default values can be used, or modified by the user.

Note Cisco Systems recommends the use of the default bandwidth and timer values. Although examples of the SRR parameter commands are shown below, only srp srr enable command should be executed.

This section describes the modification of the default parameters if necessary. Please refer to the "Command Reference" section for additional information on these use of these commands.

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config-if)# srp srr bandwidth bandwidth

Specify the bandwidth for the port in megabits per second (Mbps) when the interface operates on a single ring. The value is between 1 to the maximum possible bandwidth of the node (1-622). The default value is 400 Mbps for OC-48 interfaces. This command is available for OC-48 interfaces only.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# srp srr timer seconds

Set the periodic time (in seconds) between SRR messages when the node is in Idle state.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# srp srr wtr-timer seconds

Set the minimum time (in seconds) between the discovery of a ring failure and the return to normal ring operations.

Configure WRED

When using the SRR protocol with the 1OC-48/STM-16 SRP line card, it is recommended that WRED be enabled to prevent control packet loss in overloaded rings. Refer to Weighted Random Early Detection on the Cisco 12000 Series Router for information and instructions on enabling this feature.

Repeat the Configuration Process for all Other Ring Nodes

Repeat the configuration process for all nodes on the DPT rings.

Note The same version of SRR must be installed on all nodes for the feature to operate correctly.

Glossary

DPT—Dynamic Packet Transport

Failure—A "Signal Fail" condition, as reported by IPS, under which an SRP node would normally wrap. SRR only considers locally detected failures. SRR doesn't consider other IPS failures such as WTR, MS and SD since no more than one of these can exist on an SRP ring at one given time. SRR requires that at least two (2) failures be present on a ring to enable the single ring mode.

IPS—Intelligent Protection Switching

Lockout—An IPS status in which a node is prevented from wrapping.

Node side—Either side A or side B of an SRP node. Side A receives from the outer ring and transmits on the inner ring. Side B receives from the inner ring and transmits on the outer ring.

Ring—In the context of this document, "ring" (in contrast to "SRP ring") refers to either one of the two counter-rotating rings of an SRP ring.

Single ring mode—A mode in which SRR enables lockout on a node and redirects all data traffic to the failure free ring. In single ring mode, the failure free ring is referred to as the "sane" ring and the other one as the "failed" ring.

SRP—Spatial Reuse Protocol.

SRP Ring—An SRP ring is composed of two counter-rotating rings referred to as the inner ring and the outer ring.

SRR—Single Ring Recovery.
