 IEEE 1588v2 is a precision clock synchronization protocol standard for network

measurement and control systems. It defines PTP for Ethernet networks. The
precision can reach sub-microsecond level. IEEE 1588v2 implements frequency
synchronization and time synchronization.
 Time and frequency synchronization complies with the G.813 template. The 10 ns
High-precision high-precision time meets the requirements of the wireless, LTE, and transportation
time solution: industries. The jitter at multiple hops (less than 30 nodes) is less than 1 μs, supporting
IEEE 1588v2 large-scale networking. The external clock source can be protected based on a
specified priority. A device automatically selects the tracing source based on the
priority and hop count. If the tracing source changes, the system automatically
switches to the optimal source. The 200 ns-level single-NE switching ensures high
clock reliability. In addition, iMaster NCE provides graphical clock management.

The NetEngine 8000 provides reliability protection at multiple levels, including device-,
network-, and service-level reliability. It forms a network-wide solution and fully meets
the reliability requirements of various services. 99.999% system availability is the
cornerstone of reliable interconnection between enterprise services.

components. Key components support hot swap and hot backup. Technologies such
as non-stop routing (NSR) and non-stop forwarding (NSF) ensure service continuity.
 Network-level reliability: The NetEngine 8000 provides IP/LDP/VPN/TE FRR/hot-
standby, IGP, BGP, and multicast route convergence, and Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP). Trunk link load balancing backup, BFD fast link detection, Ethernet
OAM, routing protocol/port/VLAN damping, TI- LFA, and mirror SID egress fast
Comprehensive protection ensure the stability of the entire network and provide end-to-end
reliability protection switching within 30 ms. This frees services from being aware of a problem.

Features Description
 The NetEngine 8000 provides the point-to-point Ethernet fault management
function in compliance with IEEE 802.3ah. In addition, the NetEngine 8000 supports
the connection-based fault management mechanism, that is, CFM OAM, for end-to-
end fault detection and location. The NetEngine 8000 provides the Ethernet
performance management function in compliance with ITU-T Y.1731. By inserting
timestamps into IEEE 802.1ag LB packets, the NetEngine 8000 can measure the
delay, jitter, and packet loss ratio during transmission. The performance parameter
measurement can be configured as a scheduled task. In addition, a report is
generated together with iMaster NCE information.
 iMaster NCE + In-situ Flow Information Telemetry (IFIT) technology: IFIT collects
service SLA information in real time, uploads the information to iMaster NCE for
intelligent analysis, control, and management, and delivers service policies. If a
fault occurs, the system can quickly rectify the fault in minutes, implementing
Comprehensive closed-loop management based on service SLAs. In addition, data is sent to the AI
OAM cloud platform for training and self-learning, so that more service types and fault
technologies models can be matched, making the "network brain" smarter, eventually enabling
the WAN to move towards autonomous driving.

The NetEngine 8000 adopts a green design, which is more environmentally

friendly and energy efficient.
 Uses the industry-leading super heat dissipation system, including the mixed flow
fan, carbon nano thermal pads, VC gas-liquid phase change, and floating board heat
dissipation. The optimal heat dissipation design of the entire system is
implemented, greatly improving heat dissipation efficiency and reducing power
consumption.
 The NetEngine 8000 uses Huawei-developed Solar-R chips, advanced nano-chip
technology, and chip-level dynamic frequency modulation and intelligent fan speed
Green design adjustment technologies to greatly reduce power consumption, making the
concept NetEngine 8000 more energy-saving and green.

Features Description
 The NetEngine 8000 supports the future-oriented SRv6 technology for next-
generation unified networks, and builds IP backbone, metro, mobile backhaul, and
data center networks. SRv6 can be used as the basic bearer protocol of the entire
network to carry applications such as individual/enterprise cloud migration, inter-
cloud mutual access, IoT, government and enterprise private lines, home broadband
applications, and CDN. SRv6 can be used as the basic bearer protocol of the entire
network to implement end-to-end full-service comprehensive bearer capabilities.
SRv6 enables simplified protocols, large-scale networking, seamless integration, high
reliability, integrated service chains, network and service programmability, and a full
ecosystem.

 The M14/M8 supports the deterministic IP (DIP) technology. DIP prevents packet
collisions across periods by using the periodic scheduling mechanism, thereby
Innovative ensuring the deterministic delay.
technology
 The M14/M8/M4 supports Application-aware IPv6 Networking (APN6) technology. By
using the programmable space of IPv6 and SRv6, the M14/M8/M4 carries application
information (identification and network performance requirements) into the network,
so that the network can sense the application and requirements and provide refined
network services for them.

 The M14/M8/M4 supports the Data Redundancy Elimination (DRE) function, which
compresses and decompresses data between WAN border routers, reducing
bandwidth consumption on WAN links, saving line costs, and accelerating the
deployment of distributed data centers.
