Signal type: By means the combo-box it is possible to select the signal rate structure
•
for a TDM MPLS tunnel. It defines the transport frame in the SONET hierarchy
structure and represents the switching "granularity" of the TDM LSP tunnel. The
allowable choices are: VT1-5-SPE or VT2-SPE or VT3-SPE or VT6-SPE or STS-1-
SPE or STS-3C-SPE or STS1 or STS3 or STS12 or STS48 or STS192 or STS768.
Concatenation Type: By means the combo-box it is possible to select the
•
Concatenation for SONET virtual containers in TDM MPLS tunnel. It is defined to
transport tributary signals with rate in excess of basic STS-1/STM-1 signal. The
allowable values are: ON or OFF.
Concatenation Number: The entry box allows to digit the Number of concatenated
•
VC-x/VT-x containers in a TDM MPLS tunnel. (16 bit-wide). Concatenation is on
byte interleaving basis (contiguous concatenation). This parameter is valid if
Concatenation Type = ON, otherwise is ignored. The allowable values are: <numeric
value> in the {1-65535} range.
Virtual Concatenation Number: The entry box allows to digit the Number of virtual
•
concatenated VCx/VT-x containers in a TDM MPLS tunnel (16 bit-wide).
Concatenation is based on logical association that tight together all the containers
inside the Virtual Concatenation Group (VCG) through some algorithm (i.e. inverse
multiplexing, LCAS). This parameter is valid if Concatenation Type = ON, otherwise
is ignored. Concatenation and Virtual Concatenation are mutually exclusive inside the
same transport frame. The allowable values are: <numeric value> in the {1-65535}
range.
Multiplier: The entry box allows to digit the Number of identical signals transported
•
in the TDM tunnel layer (16 bit-wide). These signals can be identical elementary
signals, identical contiguously concatenated signals, or identical virtually
concatenated signals. The allowable values are: <numeric value> in the {1-65535}
range.
Transparency Mode: By means the combo-box it is possible to select the
•
Transparency mode for SONET transport frame into a TDM MPLS tunnel. It defines
type of transparency on SONET signal payload carried into the switching network.
The allowable choices are:
– PATH: Transparency is achieved on path layer with higher order SONET path
– LINE: Line overhead is preserved and the entire MS (multiplexer section) is
– SECTION: Preservation of all section overhead in the switched signal. Basically
