Ethernet over SDH

2

Multi-Service Platform

Ability to handle SDH, PDH, SAN,Ethernet & WDM on a common platform for efficient presentation, switching, aggregation & transport over NG-SDH

Highly flexible 2M – STM64 TDM interfaces Full non-blocking VC-12 Switching 20G (128x128STM-1)- 60G (384x384 x STM-1) Flexible “Any port in Any slot” type Architecture Data bus enables the SMA16-64 as data centric hub Highest Port density to reduce costs Use of SFP technology to increase flexibility and reduce costs

Flexible Mapping Benefits

LCAS (Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme) Variation of the link capacity in units of

VC12, VC3 or VC4, as appropriate Ability to ‘re-use’ protection bandwidth

GFP (Generic Framing Procedure) Support for multiple protocol traffic Standardisation provides component

cost savings

L2 Aggregation Card Provides point-to-multipoint functionality

Acts as hub or ‘switch’ for PacketSpan customer located products Introduces new services when the market is ready Provides functionality from the core, not from every box in the deployment -

lowers cost throughout, especially when upgrades are needed Dramatically reduces the cost of interfaces on SDH & data side Single tributary card much cheaper than overlay equipment, no new

training/personnel or NMS needed Standard GFP, Virtual Concatenation (with LCAS and HO/LO SDH support) QoS options (committed rate, best effort etc) allowing differentiated & prioritised

services

Ethernet Domain and

Traffic Management

The ELS1000S card is considered to have three logical domains:

• SDH Traffic Domain of the PacketSpan card.

Logical Domains

• Card Based Domain, i.e. basic hardware/software operation, including maintenance schemes.

• Embedded (Ethernet) Domain.
