To ensure that surveillance traffic is isolated from other traffic, many organizations deploy a dedicated surveillance infrastructure. Most traditional LANs, however, do not deliver true end-to-end separation of traffic which makes such an2| avaya.comA new standard in scalability, simplicity, availability and performance Over the past few months, Pelco, a pioneer in the video surveillance marketplace, has been trying to break the Avaya Fabric Connect solution. With an extensive global customer base, hundreds of thousands of successful installations and over 20 years of experience in video security, Pelco is one of the most respected vendors in the industry. 3. Thoughts from the Experts at Pelco On Traditional Solutions Complexity: The biggest pain of what I do as a multicast architect is the complexities of PIM. We have in my opinion a broken model. Weve got Spanning Tree then a L3 routing protocol then PIM when something breaks you have to wait for all of this to reconverge.Re-Convergence I have had 4000 active multicast flows on the network and I had 32 on a monitor wall. I disconnected one of the fibers and asked my executives then to point out where the video loss was. Traditionally in this environment that is going to lock our software up. We are going to a reconnect state and our software is going to struggle to catch up..Performance In the event of a prison breakout, a guard might want to hit a button and populate a monitor wall with 256 video feeds simultaneously. .. When you hit 256 simultaneous register messages going back to the rendezvous point its extremely CPU intensiveOn Avaya FabricConnect As I am going through the configuration I must have said at least 15 times, this cant be it. This cant be all that I have to do to make this work. Once you configure the SPB core, you dont have to touch it. Its a simple 2 or 3 line command to modify this network. Its a revolutionary change both in performance and in simplicity of deployment. what we saw was lightening fast convergence where you might have a little pixilation but no video frames lost. Multicast services reconverged faster than I could record it.the interesting thing with Avaya I never saw the CPU rise higher than 6%.(Healthy) Skepticismthen I was shown the technology and I was blown away.When I was initially contacted by Avaya my initial response was no. Then I was sent a whitepaper and it peaked my interestIt really is phenomenal.Traditional IP multicast versus Avaya Fabric Connect ComplexSimple Multiple protocols (PIM over OSPF) - In typical multicast networks today, PIM must be enabled on all routers lobally and on all core interfaces and g local edge interfaces where multicast is required. Easy to design - Single protocol (IS-IS) Traffic routed through rendezevous point Complex to operate and troubleshoot - Proprietary tools Traffic takes direct route to destination Easy to deploy and troubleshoot - Standards based IEEE 802.1 ag extensions - Edge provisioning only Single command configuration No need to touch the coreSlow RecoveryLightning-fast Recovery Recovery takes seconds, even minutes Sub-second recovery times (
