Higher order Path Adaptation (HPA)
Function that adapts a lower order Virtual Container to a higher order Virtual Container
by processing the Tributary Unit pointer which indicates the phase of the lower order
Virtual Container Path Overhead relative to the higher order Virtual-Container Path
Overhead, and assembling/disassembling the complete higher order Virtual Container.
Higher order Path Connection (HPC)
Function that provides for flexible assignment of higher order Virtual Containers within
an STM-N signal.
Higher order Path Termination (HPT)
Function that terminates a higher order path by generating and adding the appropriate
Virtual-Container Path Overhead to the relevant container at the path source and
removing the Virtual-Container Path Overhead and reading it at the path sink.
