Collocated OPTera Metro 3000 NE and shared VT-managed STS

A connection that uses a collocated OPTera Metro 3000 NE and shared
VT-managed STS has the advantage of not requiring dedicated STS at each
site, resulting in more efficient use of bandwidth at the edge. See
on page
With this type of connection, you can use multiple virtual rings at the edge with
each virtual ring covering a different physical route and having different
termination points. Each virtual ring can operate at STS-1 or higher
bandwidth. See
As with the option described in the previous section, this connection is a
modular network design with low initial costs and allows efficient bandwidth
utilization of the OPTera Metro 3500 STS-managed backbone network.
