2.7 PING Setup/Test Link turn-up veries connectivity to a DSLAM. PING testing takes the turn-up procedure one step further and veries connectivity to the far end network. PING is a common method to discover whether two remote LAN segments using TCP-IP protocol are connected. When receiving a PING message, Internet devices acknowledge it by sending an echo message back. After turning up the link, enter Ping Setup/Test from the main menu. The rst set of screens contain conguration items for the PING test. Enter the proper protocol used by the circuit, as well as the necessary IP addresses. The rst setting is MODE. Note: Before performing a PING test, conrm that the link is established. Mode Options: LLC-BRG, LLC-RTE, CLIPoA, PPPoE, or PPPoA Press and select the protocol mode for the PING test LLC-BRG: LLC-Bridge protocol. This follows RFC 1483 bridge encapsulation. It supports both static and dynamic IP management. LLC-RTE: LLC-Routed protocol. It supports only static IP addressing. CLIPoA: This refers to Classical IP over ATM according to RFC 2225. Used only in STATIC mode. PPPoE: PPP over Ethernet, according to standard RFC 2516 PPP over Ethernet. PPPoE supports dynamic IP addressing. PPPoA: PPP over ATM, according to standard RFC 2364, PPP over AAL5. PPPoA supports dynamic IP addressing. The actual conguration settings depend on the selected mode, hence the following subsections describe setup and PING results for each mode.

Figure 11 LLC-BRG PING Setup Screens Congure these settings for LLC-BRG and LLC-RTE modes: Encap Options: LLC, VC MUX, or AUTO Select a method for carrying trafc over AAL Type 5 over ATM. LLC: Logical Link Control based on IEEE standard 802.2. LLC encapsulation is used when multiple protocol are encapsulated over a single ATM Virtual Connection. VC MUX: This is used when only one protocol is carried over a single ATM Virtual Connection. AUTO: Automatically detect the setting. VPI Range: 0 through 255 The default is 8, which is a typical Ethernet assignment. Along with VCI, VPI identies the next destination of a cell as it moves through a series of ATM switches on the way to its destination. This is typically assigned by the service provider. VCI Range: 0 through 65535 The default is 35, which is a typical Ethernet assignment. Along with VPI, VCI identies the next destination of a cell as it moves through a series of ATM switches on the way to its destination. This is typically assigned by the service provider. IP Add Options: STATIC or DHCP STATIC: This type of IP management means that the user has a permanent IP address. For STATIC, enter the Local IP; this will be the value used during the test. DHCP: This refers to dynamic IP management. If selected, enter the IP address for the destination.
Conexant 8-Wire SHDSL for MTT-Lite 17

Dynamic management provides a way for computers to obtain protocol conguration parameters (like the local IP address) dynamically from the network. In this case, the IP address is not permanent to the terminal; instead, the terminal requests an address from the DHCP server on the network. When selecting DHCP for IP Address, the test set sends a request to the DHCP server; the DHCP server responds and provides an IP address. Upon selecting DHCP, the Loc. IP line disappears; the network dynamically assigns an IP address.

Loc. IP Enter a local IP address of the circuit under test. For LLC-BRG static mode and LLC-RTE, this is the local IP address used. For LLC-BRG DHCP mode, there is no LOCAL IP mode since a dynamically assigned local IP address is used. Dest. IP Enter the destination address of the device to be pinged. If pinging a gateway, enter the gateways address for the Destination IP. Pinging the gateway veries connectivity to the ISP. Gateway If required, enter a gateway address. A gateway is a device that connects dissimilar networks and passes information between them. In TCP/IP, the default gateway address is the address where the Internet Protocol sends packets destined for remote networks, unless a different route is congured. Since LLC-RTE is a pure routed mode, there is no gateway setting. This setting applies only to LLC-BRG mode.

Figure 13 LLC PING Test Passed PING: PASS means the destination has received the PING message and properly responded to the test set. This indicates that the test set can connect to the Internet. If the test set does not receive a response, it will display PING: FAIL. This indicates that either the destination did not receive the PING message or it did not reply. Press to stop the test, press it again or press to restart testing. Press or to PING the Dest. IP again after PING: PASS is displayed. In addition to the test results, the screens also report: Loc: Provides the local IP address for the test set. For LLC-BRG static and LLC-RTE, this is the same Loc. IP address entered in the PING SETUP screen. For LLC-BRG DHCP, Loc IP shows all zeros until the DHCP server assigns an IP address. When assigned, the Loc line will display this address. Dst: Provides the Destination IP address for the PING messages. This is determined in the conguration screen. ST: Start Time of the test. ET: Elapsed Time since the test was started or restarted. If selecting LLC-BRG, DHCP IP Add, the PING results screen differs slightly from Figure 13. For DHCP, the network must assign the local IP address. There are two steps for the results: 1. When the test rst begins, the Loc IP address line shows all zeros. As soon as the DHCP server provides an IP address, it updates and DHCP displays Pass as in Figure 14:

For details, see Section 2.7.1-Encap. Auth Options: NONE, PAP or CHAP The authentication layer ensures that only a valid device establishes a connection with the network. Choose the following: NONE: Use this setting when authentication is not required. Note that the User ID and Password screens are not displayed if NONE is selected. PAP: Password Authentication Protocol as defined in RFC 1334. PAP is the simplest method for authentication. It involves a two-way handshake where one peer sends a user name and ID to another peer element in the network. The second peer returns an authentication-acknowledge message either accepting or rejecting the user name and password. CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol as defined in RFC 1994. It involves a three-way handshake, in which the test set sends a challenge containing its user name. The server responses with a specic identier expected for this transaction. The test set then accepts or rejects this response, when accepted the test set starts sending data.

Figure 17 PPP PING Results Screens Reected in Figure 17 are these three stages: ROUTER - PASS means that the test set has connected to the router/broadband access server (ISP). The next step will be to verify authentication. - FAIL means that no connection to the ISP is available. PPP - PPP: In Prog means that the handshaking procedure is currently in progress. A local IP address is not yet assigned, as indicated by all zeros for the LOCAL IP. If static IP management were selected, the LOCAL IP entered in the conguration screen would be used. - PPP: PASS means that the authentication handshaking was successful and a local IP address has been assigned, as displayed on the Loc line. PING - PING: This stage has not begun yet. PING will begin as soon as the PPP stage is completed. - PING: In Prog means that the PING test is currently in process. As soon as the test set receives a response from the destination, it will display PASS. If the test set receives no response from the destination, it will display FAIL.

If LLCRTE or CLIPoA is used, this setting is unavailable. Static: This type of IP management means that the user has a permanent IP address. For Static, enter the Loc IP; this will be the value used during the test. DHCP: This refers to dynamic IP management. If selected, enter the IP address for the destination. Dynamic management provides a way for computers to obtain protocol conguration parameters (like the local IP address) dynamically from the network. In this case, the IP address is not permanent to the terminal; instead, the terminal requests an address from the server on the network. Dynamic: The test set sends a request to the server; the server responds and provides an IP address. Upon selecting Dynamic, the Loc IP line disappears; the network dynamically assigns an IP address. Loc. IP Enter a Local IP address of the circuit under test via and . For PPPoA and PPPoE STATIC, this is the local IP address used. For PPPoA and PPPoE DYNAMIC mode, there is no Loc. IP address since a dynamically assigned local IP address is used. Dest. IP Enter the destination address of the device to be pinged via and .

4.1 PING Technology The name PING is derived from the SONAR world where one pings an object in the water and listens for its echo. This concept applies to the Internet world, where one pings an address and waits for its echo (reply). This veries that the end device is present and that the connection is active. The PING message is an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) message. Both devices must be using TCP/IP protocol. However, IP can be encapsulated onto the ADSL physical layer in several ways. Figure 23 provides a summary of the different implementation schemes for IP over ADSL.

Figure 24 Classical IP over ATM Classical IP over ATM is an IETF protocol which uses ATMs high speed ability in the Local Area Network. It uses ATMF (ATM25.6) physical interface over Twisted Pair Cable (per ATM Forum) to interconnect in the LAN at the speed of 25.6 Mbps. Classical IP over ATM reduces overhead by having IP and ARP datagrams encapsulated in AAL5 using IETF RFC 1483 LLC/SNAP encapsulation. 4.1.2 Ethernet Frames over ATM (EoA) In this case, the Ethernet frames are encapsulated into the ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) using RFC 1483. The encapsulation supports both routing and bridged. This is based on the standard RFC 1483 Multi protocol Encapsulation over AAL 5. Figure 25 shows a sample conguration of Ethernet over ATM used in the eld. In this case, IP address management can be static with RFC 1483 Bridge encapsulation, dynamic with the use of DHCP session management or it can use RFC 1483 Routed.

Figure 26 PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) PPPoE uses Ethernet networking with PPP in an encapsulation scheme designed for multi-PC homes and small businesses. PPPoE enables multiple PCs to connect to multiple destinations through a single, shared CPE using one PVC. This is based on the standard RFC 2516 PPP over Ethernet. 4.1.4 PPP over ATM (PPPoA) PPPoA has a great advantage in reducing the overhead required in PPPoE. It is based on the standard RFC 2364 PPP over AAL 5.

dynamic. However, static IP address management can exist. PPPoA has the following implementations of IP management: Static IP address management over PPP. Dynamic IP address management over PPP. In this case, the IP address is requested and assigned at the time of the connection. Authentication is commonly used since it provides security for the connection. In the case of PPP, identication is controlled with a user name and password. These will be required in order to open a link with the ISP. Identication can use either the PAP or the CHAP authentication mechanisms. The PPP session is opened with the Broadband-Remote Access Server (B-RAS). The LCP session is handled between the B-RAS and the PC (CPE) to manage the authentication of the user name and password. 4.1.5 PING Acronyms Here are some of the acronyms and abbreviations you will commonly encounter.

4.2 Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) IMA has been standardized by the ATM Forum to provide a high-capacity logical link by grouping several lower-capacity physical links. IMA is intrinsically point-to-point, assumes congestion-free links, and only tolerates relatively constant differential delays between the links. 4.2.1 Overview of IMA

Tx Direction: Cells distributed across links in round robin sequence. Rx Direction: Cells recombined into a single ATM stream.

Figure 28 Inverse Multiplexing and De-multiplexing of ATM Cells via IMA Groups IMA provides a modular bandwidth for user access to ATM networks and for connection between ATM network elements, at rates typically between DS1/E1 and DS3/E3 levels. DS3/E3 physical links are not necessarily readily available throughout a given network. Therefore the introduction of ATM Inverse Multiplexers provides an effective method of combining the transport bandwidths of multiple links (e.g., DS1/E1 links) grouped to collectively provide higher intermediate rates. The ATM Inverse Multiplexing technique involves inverse multiplexing at one end and de-multiplexing of ATM cells at the other end in a cyclical fashion among links grouped to form a higher bandwidth logical link whose rate is approximately the sum of the link rates. This is called an IMA group. Figure 28 shows an illustration of the ATM Inverse Multiplexing technique in one direction. The same technique is used for both directions. IMA groups terminate at each end of the IMA virtual link. In the transmit direction, the ATM cell stream received from the ATM layer is distributed on a cell-by-cell basis, across the multiple links within the IMA group. At the far end, the receiving IMA unit recombines the cells from each link, on a cell-by-cell basis, recreating the original ATM cell stream. The aggregate
Conexant 8-Wire SHDSL for MTT-Lite 33

cell stream is then passed to the ATM layer. The IMA interface periodically transmits special cells that contain information that permit reconstruction of the ATM cell stream at the receiving end of the IMA virtual link. The receiver end reconstructs the ATM cell stream after accounting for the link differential delays, smoothing CDV introduced by the control cells, etc. These cells, dened as IMA Control Protocol (ICP) cells, provide the denition of an IMA frame. The transmitter must align the transmission of IMA frames on all links (shown in Figure 29). This allows the receiver to adjust for differential link delays among the constituent physical links. Based on this required behavior, the receiver can detect the differential delays by measuring the arrival times of the IMA frames on each link. At the transmitting end, the cells are transmitted continuously. If there are no ATM layer cells to be sent between ICP cells within an IMA frame, then the IMA transmitter sends ll cells to maintain a continuous stream of cells at the physical layer. The insertion of ll cells provides cell rate decoupling at the IMA sublayer. The ll cells are discarded by the IMA receiver.
