7.10.1 Bandwidth Allocation and Routing

7.10.1 Bandwidth Allocation and Routing
Within a given network, CTC routes circuits on the shortest possible path between source and destination
based on the circuit attributes, such as protection and type. CTC considers using a link for the circuit
only if the link meets the following requirements:
If CTC cannot find a link that meets these requirements, an error appears.

7.10.2 Secondary Sources and Destination

CTC supports secondary sources and destinations (drops). Secondary sources and destinations typically
interconnect two third-party networks, as shown in
network of ONS 15600s.

For bidirectional circuits, CTC creates a path protection connection at the source node that allows traffic
to be selected from one of the two sources on the ONS 15600 network. If you check the Fully Path
Protected option during circuit creation, traffic is protected within the ONS 15600 network. At the
destination, another path protection connection is created to bridge traffic from the ONS 15600 network
to the two destinations. A similar but opposite path exists for the reverse traffic flowing from the
destinations to the sources.
For unidirectional circuits, a path protection drop-and-continue connection is created at the source node.

Circuit routing does not use links that are down. If you want all links to be considered for routing,
do not create circuits when a link is down.
Circuit routing computes the shortest path when you add a new drop to an existing circuit. It tries to
find the shortest path from the new drop to any nodes on the existing circuit.
The link has sufficient bandwidth to support the circuit.
The link does not change the protection characteristics of the path.
The link has the required time slots to enforce the same time slot restrictions for BLSR.
