Smart Miniature Network Interface Device on an
SFP Sleeve• Serves as a fully functional Network Interface Device (NID)• SFP sleeve plugs easily into SFP ports of switches and routers (allowing full reuse ofexisting SFPs)• Adds Carrier Ethernet demarcation and SLA assurance capabilities• Enhances performance monitoring and diagnostics with comprehensive OAM tools• Lowers OpEx by decreasing power consumption, space, and installation costs

RAD’s MiNID is a revolutionary platformfor service providers looking to upgradetheir networks to deliver reliablebandwidth with end-to-end SLA assurance
guarantees. MiNID’s innovative
patent-pending design helps breakthrough the barriers of cost andcomplexity to make Carrier Ethernet
available to everyone, everywhere.
MiNID provides instant Carrier Ethernetfunctionality for switches, routers, andmobile base stations. The NID sleeve iseasily pluggable into standard SFP ports,
eliminating power, space, and cabling
expenses while MiNID’s comprehensive
OAM tools reduce truck rolls by enhancing
performance monitoring, fault diagnostics,and wire-speed circuit validation.

MiNID transparently envelops a large
variety of SFPs, enabling full reuse ofcustomer equipment and seamless
deployment over multiple accessinfrastructure types, such as short haul
and long haul fiber connections,bidirectional single fiber links, and copperlines.
MiNID is a true plug-and-play solution. Its
zero-touch provisioning capabilities enableeasy installation by anyone.
MARKET SEGMENTS ANDAPPLICATIONSMiNID is the perfect solution for service
assurance in mobile backhauling networks,
small cells, business services, andwholesale services, as an important partof the toolkit offered by RAD’s Service
Assured Access solution.

As a service demarcation device, it can
attach Service VLAN and add priority
marking to multiple services at thecustomer premises, ensuring proper
service handling throughout the service
provider network.
Its service assurance capabilities include
in-service layer-2/3/4 loopbacks,
performance monitoring, and end-to-end
fault measurement, for continuous
collection of key performance indicators
for all services.
For the mobile backhauling market, MiNID
also offers transparent SyncE,transparently forwarding ESSM messages.
The device handles up to 1 Gbps ofEthernet user traffic with per-port andper-flow OAM capabilities using
performance monitoring counters, whileproviding remote end-to-end service
control.
As part of RAD’s EtherAccess© portfolio,
MiNID’s fully standard functionality
ensures seamless interoperability with any
network as well as third-party devices forseamless integration into existingnetworks.
MiNID preserves existing investments,
enhancing legacy networks to be MEF
Carrier Ethernet 2.0-compliant without
having to discard and replace existingequipment.

MANAGEMENT

Service Demarcation
MiNID provides the following:

MiNID is ready for integration with hostdevices via I2C management channel,
making MiNID an integral part of the hostdevice.

•Port-based and flow-basedclassification of multiple services•Flow classification per VLAN range,
P-bits, DSCP, EtherType,source/destination MAC address•Adding or replacing VLAN per flow withpriority marking per P-bits and DSCP•

Layer-2 control protocol tunneling with
optional MAC change (L2PT).

Application software can be downloaded
to MiNID via:
•SFP-CA unit, using YMODEM protocol•

TFTP server.

Management Options
MiNID can be managed as follows:•Inband management (VLAN based), via
host SFP or MSA edge connector•

Out-of-band management andsoftware configuration from any
Ethernet port in the host device.

MONITORING AND DIAGNOSTICSOAM
MiNID provides the following per EVC.COS:•IEEE-802.1ag (CFM) for continuity
check, loopback, and link trace, withMEP and MIP support•

ITU-T Y.1731 for loss, delay, and delay
variation measurements, as well as
fault propagation (AIS/RDI)•IEEE 802.3-2005 (formerlyIEEE 802.3ah) link OAM.

Dying Gasp
Upon power failure, MiNID sends anIEEE 802.3-2005 message or SNMP trap
notifying of the loss of power.
Loopback Tests
MiNID provides on-demand intrusive andnon-intrusive layer-2/3/4 loopbacks atwire speed, with optional MAC, IP and UDP
port swap per flow. MiNID also offers UDPecho responder functionality
RFC-2544/Y.1564MiNID responds to RFC-2544 and Y.1564
service activation tests.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring
MiNID transparently relays Digital
Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) informationfrom DDM-enabled optical SFPs to thehosting device.
