Design considerations and use of virtual concatenation is emphasized, as well as the Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme and the Generic Framing Procedure.
The platform offers the ability to rapidly deliver end-to-end optical services and efficiently transport GbE and 10 GbE services over highly-reliable SONET/SDH infrastructure, utilizing Generic Framing Procedure (GFP), Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS), with advanced Layer 2 switching functionality and MEF-based Ethernet traffic management.
Next generation Ethernet over SONET aggregation solutions using virtual concatenation (VC), link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) and generic framing procedure (GFP) require robust testing of the effects of dynamic path level delays, bit errors, and other network faults.
New features available for the FTB-8100 next-generation test suite include support for Low-Order Virtual Concatenation (LO VCAT) and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) generation and analysis, and differential delay insertion capabilities for both high-order and low-order virtual concatenation.
Galazar's advanced Ethernet over SONET solutions are used by network equipment manufacturers to create systems that enable advanced carrier grade packet transport of Ethernet services to business and residential triple play services The "PD" Network Emulator from Anue Systems provides delays and impairments on each individual SONET/SDH path imitating the network fault and recovery scenarios that exercise next generation SONET/SDH services such as virtual concatenation (VC), link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) and generic framing procedure (GFP).
Sycamore's comprehensive Ethernet solutions support the ITU-T standards for the efficient transport of Ethernet traffic over a SONET/SDH infrastructure, including Virtual Concatenation (VCAT), Generic Framing Procedure (GFP), and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS).
Flexible next-gen SONET/SDH support - includes ring integration, virtual concatenation (VCAT), link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), and generic framing procedure (GFP).
