Figure 5 Remote Site Traffic Flow Scenario
Central Office Site Traffic Flow Scenario
Unlike the remote site, in the central office, traffic from each IMA line card of the IES is
directly forwarded to the MSC and the connected Ethernet (IP) network. The following figure
shows an example.
In the central office, your IES should have an Ethernet connection to a backbone network. The
IMA converts ATM cells coming from remote sites to Ethernet frames. Depending on your
configuration, the IMA also converts traffic from double-tagged PVCs to either single-tagged
or double-tagged VLAN frames. The MSC receives the frames and then forwards the frames
to the Ethernet network (backbone).
