3 Introduction Stephen VanderZande Electrical Engineer NetCom, AltaLink Configuration, Design, and Implementation Operation and Troubleshooting Clinton Struth Principal Engineer - NetCom, AltaLink Cory Struth IP Network Architect NetCom, AltaLink 3

4 Current Network Existing TDM/ATM network. Product discontinued and support for technology decreasing. Provides TPR, SCADA, OPX, Mobile, and IP Services. Increasing demand for IP services (data collection/security). Centrally managed. Critical to have a scalable network. Assigned paths and traffic prioritization. Connection based services. Traffic Engineering 4

5 Why IP/MPLS? Why now? Existing ATM / TDM equipment has been discontinued. Increasing demand for IP from new and migrating services. Need to support legacy services and protocols. MPLS can support legacy services (RS232/G.703*) and is protocol indifferent. Transitioning to packet-based transport (Ethernet radio and fiber). Need to deploy to all sites - >300+ nodes MPLS used heavily by telecom carriers. 5

6 Why IP/MPLS? Why now? Traffic Engineering Defined traffic paths and redundancy. Enhanced Quality Of Service(QOS) Traffic Prioritization. Advanced IP Services VPLS, VPRN Bandwidth Flexibility Enhanced centralized management and service provisioning. Separation of the control plane and the data plane. Secure IP traffic. 6

7 What is IP/MPLS? An IP/MPLS network is a packet-switched network that uses Internet Protocol (IP) enhanced with Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). IP Resilient but best effort delivery of packets. Delivery times are not guaranteed and congestion can be a concern. IP traffic is delivered based on its destination IP address. Traffic Engineering and QOS is not scalable. 7

8 What is IP/MPLS? An IP/MPLS network is a packet-switched network that uses Internet Protocol (IP) enhanced with Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). MPLS Provides connection-oriented services and is protocol independent. Provides traffic delivery using pre-specified primary and backup paths (Traffic Engineering). More predictable delivery times. Scalable QOS provides traffic prioritization. Uses labels to move traffic faster and with less processing. Supports advanced IP services (VPLS, VPRN). Increased security (separation between data plane and control plane). 8

9 Services 9

10 Services - Standard SCADA Substation to control center communication used to monitor and control the transmission system. RS232, DNP3 over IP Teleprotection (TPR) Relay to relay communication used to speed up fault clearing. Analog, RS232, G.703, C37.94, IP Voice (OPX) and Mobile Substation phone communication and mobile radio support. Analog, VoIP Substation LNA Used to collect data from relays, meters, condition monitors, and all other IP capable devices in the substation. Also provides field network access and internet. Ethernet, IP *** Future Protocol Possibilities *** 10

11 Services Advanced IP Services Virtual Lease Line (VLL) Virtual Private LAN Switch (VPLS) Virtual Private Routed Network (VPRN) Network as seen by end-user. 11

12 Services Advanced IP Services VPRNs and VPLSs allow secure separation of IP services. Allows service specific prioritization and restrictions (QOS). Example Services: Security Video Field Internet Access Corporate Network Access Synchronization (1588 Timing) Radio Monitoring Substation LAN External Backhaul 12

13 AltaLink s Project Completed Calgary Core Build 2010 (red) Tomahawk Spur Pilot (purple) deployment to upgrade backbone Oc3 network + select sites (green) plan Start upgrading substation sites in mass over 100 sites each year for 2012 and Many sites to be upgraded in parallel as part of major projects, capital maintenance projects, etc. 13

14 AltaLink s Project 2010 Tomahawk Spur LAN, SCADA, and TPR services moved to MPLS. TPR service latency below 10ms one-way (138kV). Firewalls installed for LAN traffic. Reliability has been as-good or better than TDM equipment. Identified previously unknown performance issues with radios OC3 Backbone MPLS emulating legacy ATM network. OC3 ring cutover completed Sept 22 nd. Working out the bugs and optimizing setup of our hybrid network. Again identified previously unknown performance issues with radios. 14
