T raffic provisioning
Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
Traffic Provisioning (or Transmission Provisioning) sets up the network elements to
route the traffic through the network.
Objective
To create transmission paths through the network with or without protection. The
protected transmission path can maintain the transmission signal in case of
transmission failures.
Outcome
The outcome of traffic provisioning is:
• all traffic can be transported through the network according to the transmission plan
• if protection is used, the traffic that is routed through the network is protected
against failures.
Protection types
The following Protection Types can be used:
• SNC: Sub Network Connection protection protects a specific transmission path in a
ring.
• MSP: Multiplex Section Protection protects the transmission path in a point-to-point
connection.
Intended use
This chapter describes setting up traffic on VC-4, VC-3 and/or VC-12 level in a
network with 1643 AM or 1643 AMS network elements.
