Traffic Protection - Nortel Optical Multiservice Edge 6130 Planning Manual

Traffic protection

Traffic protection is a mechanism to enhance the dependability of a transport
service. The OME6130 provides a variety of protection mechanisms which
can be deployed to tailor the resilience of the platform to that required by the
customer. The system monitors the traffic facilities for performance
degradation and failure and performs protection switching when these
conditions are present. The following traffic protection configurations are
currently available:
•
•
•
Table 6-6
The OME6130 can be provisioned to support a mix of MSP and SNCP
protection and unprotected configurations on the STM-1/4 interfaces on a
single network element. Refer to
information.

Notes
When MSP is
provisioned, SNCP
connections are not
supported on this
protection group.
STM-1/4 interfaces must
be provisioned in
Unprotected mode.
A mix of unprotected and
SNCP connections can be
provisioned.
