Bus Capacity Rules
3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007
The TDM bus capacity and the access to it determines the traffic handling
maximums for a 9500 MXC node. These capacity maximums apply equally to
the INU and INUe.
• The primary determinant of node capacity is its bus capacity.
• The usage of bus capacity differs for linear and ring nodes.
Refer to:
• Bus Capacity Rules on page E-1
• Linear Node Applications on page E-2
• Ring Node Applications on page E-4
Table E-1 lists the rules that govern node bus capacity.
Backplane Capacity Rules
Table E-1.
Backplane TDM Bus Capacity Rule
Configuration
E1 Maximum 100xE1, or 200 timeslots, where each timeslot
represents a Tx or Rx slot on the bus.
DS1 Maximum 128xDS1, or 256 timeslots, where each timeslot
represents a Tx or Rx slot on the bus.
STM1/OC3 Maximum 2xSTM1/OC3, or 4 timeslot groups, where each
represents a Tx or Rx group on the bus.
Application of these rules is considered for linear and ring networks:
