Thi

It is based on the mechanisms described in ITU-T Recommendation 1.432.2 for ATM cell-based transmission systems. It provides hitless protection switching at the Physical Layer between tw

9、o sources and sinks of F3 OAM flows. Source ITU-T Recommendation 1.480 was prepared by ITU-T Study Group 13 (1997-2000) and approved under the WTSC Resolution 1 procedure on 1 O March 2000. FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field

10、 of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The Worl

11、d Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution 1. I

12、n some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a reco

13、gnized operating agency.

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed In

27、 (sublayer) Virtual Path 5 Field of application This 1 + 1 protection mechanism is dedicated to cell-based user-to-network physical interfaces at the TB reference point. This includes both the 155 Mbit/s and the 622 Mbits cell-based interfaces, as defined in ITU-T Recommendation 1.432.2 i. This mech

28、anism offers a physical protection at the cell level without disruption. It is based on 1+1 redundancy which means the transmitted data is duplicated on two separate physical links. This mechanism is intended to be used only in a point-to-point physical configuration. The reference architecture is s

31、rence model 6 1+1 protection switching principles This 1+1 protection mechanism covers the Physical Layer; the protection is performed on all the transmitted cells. Consequently all the ATM-VPs supported by the physical interface are protected. This method is specific to the cell-based Physical Laye

32、r because it uses the cell structure of the interface and the F3 OAM cells for cell synchronization between the links. It is functionally bit-rate independent so it applies to both the 155 Mbit/s and the 622 Mbit/s cell-based interface. This mechanism offers a physical protection at the cell level w

33、ithout disruption because the two links are continuously synchronized and each time one errored block is detected on one link, the system selects the corresponding block on the other link. The positioning of the protection switching mechanism fi-om a layer view is shown in Figure 3; this e is given

34、for illustration only and it does not imply any particular implementation. Although e protection functions appear as a separate sublayer they are actually included in the Physical Layer of the ATM reference model as well as the TC and the PMD sublayers. In the transmit direction, each TC (CB-TC-A1 a

35、nd CB-TC-A2) generates the same cell flow which is sent synchronously on the two links. In the receiver, the protection sublayer insures synchronization at the Celt level, based on F3 OAM cells, to compensate the length difference between the links. Once the synchronization at the cell level is achi

36、eved, the protection sublayer monitors the received blocks of cells and switches between the two links when the blocks received on one link are errored. This process insures that the protection is performed without disruption. B-NT2 8-NT 1 I I I 1 I I I I ATM Layer ATM Layer T1316260-99 Link 2 Figur

The Sync signal corresponds to the synchronization signal of the Physical Layer for the egress direction. The REB-G signal represents the number of errored blocks

41、Figure 4D.480 - Transmitter block diagram 7.2 The T-SYNC module is responsible for synchronization of the two TC sublayers in the egress direction. The T-SYNC module receives ATM cells fi-om the ATM layer and sends them synchronously to the two TC sublayers (ATM-Cell signal). To insure synchronizati

42、on between the links, the T-SYNC module provides a common clock (Sync) to the two TC sublayers (CB-TC-A1 and CB-TC-A2). This synchronization signal can be provided by the ATM layer or by a local oscillator within the Physical Layer. The tolerance on this synchronization signal shall be as defined in

43、 ITU-T Recommendation 1.432.2 i, that is *20 ppm (for both the 155 and the 622 Mbit/s interface). The synchronization provided by T-SYNC shall also apply at the F3 level which means that CB-TC- Al and CB-TC-A2 shall generate F3 OAM cells with the same PSN value at the same time. Synchronization at b

44、oth the cell level, F3 OAM level and physical level (common transmission clock) insures that the cells transmitted on each link between two consecutive F3 OAM cells having the same PSN number are identical. This condition is necessary for the block selection process in the The T-SYNC module also pro

They are also synchronized to insure that F3 OAM cells having the same PSN value are generated at the s

47、ame time. CB-TC-A1 and CB-TC-A2 perform the classic cell-based functions in the egress direction (insertion of idle cells, cell scrambling, HEC computation). They also generate F1 and F3 OAM flows for supervision and performance monitoring of the section and transmission path. If there is no regener

48、ator section, the F1 OAM flow shall not be implemented. The content of F1 OAM cells shall be as defined in ITU-T Recommendation 1.432.2 i. The content 3 OAM cells shall be as defined in ITU-T Recommendation 1.432.2 i except that byte 45 of F3 OAM payload shall be no longer reserved and shall be allo

49、cated to the REB-G information field. The REB-G field contains the number of errored blocks detected in one direction of ission for the global link, that is the aggregation of the two protected links. This field shall be the same way as the individual REB fields (byte 46 of F3 OAM payload) which are dedicated to each transmission link. For each F3 OAM cell being sent synchronously on the two links, the fields PSN, EDC-B1 to B-G are identical. The other fields (AIS, RDI and REB) are different because they The PMD sublayer (PMD-A1 and PMD-A2) shall be as described i
