3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
aggregation mode: mode in which, a few (typically higher bandwidth) ports on the equipment are considered UPLINK
ports; while majority (typically lower bandwidth) ports are considered user ports
NOTE: In this configuration the data flow is strictly from user ports to uplink ports and vice versa. User ports do
not communicate with each other through this equipment.
core mode: mode in which all ports are considered similar and have similar bandwidth
NOTE: In this configuration the data flow is so that each port communicate with one another.
maximum configuration: configuration with maximum capacity where whole slots of the equipment are configured
with maximum interface bandwidth line cards, all of the interfaces can work at the maximum data rate

4 Equipment Classification
4.1 Router
Routers are typical packet switching equipment running at the network layer of OSI layer 3. The router selects the
optimal route according to the destination address of the received packet through a network and forwards the packet to
the next router. The last router is responsible for sending the packet to the destination host.
Routers connect different physical networks and manually configure and run standard protocols to obtain the
information of each subnet such as label, number of devices, names and addresses, etc. and thus generate and maintain a
live forwarding routing table. Based on this table, each IP packet passing these routers will be assigned an optimal path
according to the longest matching rules and be forwarded to the right path, if the path searching of the packet fails, this
packet will be abandoned.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
7 ETSI ES 203 136 V1.2.1 (2017-10)
The router can connect two or more independent and flexible logical networks using different data packets method and
media access method. Routers have not any requirements for hardware in each subnet but run the software using the
same network layer protocol.
In light of the router different application scenarios, they can be classified into core routers, service routers, broadband
access routers, and aggregation routers (Core, Edge, access routers in ATIS 0600015.03.2009 [1] classification).
Routers have the following typical features:
1) Provide multiple protocols on network layer to connect different types of networks.
2) Provide multiple types of interfaces so as to realize the conversion between the packets with different
encapsulations and transmission across different networks.
3) Support packet fragmentation and reassembly.
4) Provide large-scale packet buffers so as to support QoS and traffic engineering.
5) Provide large-scale routing tables and support large-scale Layer 3 services within intra-networks or
inter-networks.
4.2 Switch
Switches generally refer to equipment that exchange information in a communications system. They include Ethernet
switches, ATM switches, FDDI switches, and token ring switches, Ethernet switch is widely used because of fast
development of Ethernet technologies and its low costs, therefore, switches in the present document refer to Ethernet
switches.
Switches are typical packet switching devices at the data link layer of OSI layer 2. Based on the destination data link
layer addresses in the Layer 2 switching tables, each received packet, will be assigned an optimal path according to the
accurate matching rule and be forwarded to the right path, if the path searching of the packet fails, this packet will be
sent to the broadcast domain to which it belongs. The Layer 2 switching table is generated by switch network
self-learning.
The main function of switches is packet switching at the data link layer, but with the development of network
technologies, the relationship between network hierarchy and hardware equipment has become ambiguous, it is not
limited to Layer 2 services, the routing function is also integrated into most switches to support Layer 3 services, if the
path searching of packets entering the switch fails in Layer 2, then it will be delivered to the routing module for

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
aggregation mode: mode in which, a few (typically higher bandwidth) ports on the equipment are considered UPLINK
ports; while majority (typically lower bandwidth) ports are considered user ports
NOTE: In this configuration the data flow is strictly from user ports to uplink ports and vice versa. User ports do
not communicate with each other through this equipment.
core mode: mode in which all ports are considered similar and have similar bandwidth
NOTE: In this configuration the data flow is so that each port communicate with one another.
maximum configuration: configuration with maximum capacity where whole slots of the equipment are configured
with maximum interface bandwidth line cards, all of the interfaces can work at the maximum data rate

4.1 Router
Routers are typical packet switching equipment running at the network layer of OSI layer 3. The router selects the
optimal route according to the destination address of the received packet through a network and forwards the packet to
the next router. The last router is responsible for sending the packet to the destination host.
Routers connect different physical networks and manually configure and run standard protocols to obtain the
information of each subnet such as label, number of devices, names and addresses, etc. and thus generate and maintain a
live forwarding routing table. Based on this table, each IP packet passing these routers will be assigned an optimal path
according to the longest matching rules and be forwarded to the right path, if the path searching of the packet fails, this
packet will be abandoned.

The router can connect two or more independent and flexible logical networks using different data packets method and
media access method. Routers have not any requirements for hardware in each subnet but run the software using the
same network layer protocol.
In light of the router different application scenarios, they can be classified into core routers, service routers, broadband
access routers, and aggregation routers (Core, Edge, access routers in ATIS 0600015.03.2009 [1] classification).
Routers have the following typical features:
1) Provide multiple protocols on network layer to connect different types of networks.
2) Provide multiple types of interfaces so as to realize the conversion between the packets with different
encapsulations and transmission across different networks.
3) Support packet fragmentation and reassembly.
4) Provide large-scale packet buffers so as to support QoS and traffic engineering.
5) Provide large-scale routing tables and support large-scale Layer 3 services within intra-networks or
inter-networks.
4.2 Switch
Switches generally refer to equipment that exchange information in a communications system. They include Ethernet
switches, ATM switches, FDDI switches, and token ring switches, Ethernet switch is widely used because of fast
development of Ethernet technologies and its low costs, therefore, switches in the present document refer to Ethernet
switches.
Switches are typical packet switching devices at the data link layer of OSI layer 2. Based on the destination data link
layer addresses in the Layer 2 switching tables, each received packet, will be assigned an optimal path according to the
accurate matching rule and be forwarded to the right path, if the path searching of the packet fails, this packet will be
sent to the broadcast domain to which it belongs. The Layer 2 switching table is generated by switch network
self-learning.
The main function of switches is packet sw
