Virtual Concatenated Circuits

• A VCAT circuit is locked-PARTIAL when In Group member states are mixed and not all member

states are unlocked.

7.7.2 VCAT Member Routing

The automatic and manual routing selection applies to the entire VCAT circuit, that is, all members are

manually or automatically routed. Bidirectional VCAT circuits are symmetric, which means that the

same number of members travel in each direction. With automatic routing, you can specify the

constraints for individual members; with manual routing, you can select different spans for different

members.

Two types of automatic and manual routing are available for VCAT members on CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6,

and ML-100T-8 cards: common fiber routing and split fiber routing. In common fiber routing, all VCAT

members travel on the same fibers, which eliminates delay between members. Three protection options

are available for common fiber routing: Fully Protected, PCA, and Unprotected. Split fiber routing

allows the individual members to be routed on different fibers or each member to have different routing

constraints. This mode offers the greatest bandwidth efficiency and also the possibility of differential

delay, which is handled by the buffers on the terminating cards or ports. Three protection options are

available for split fiber routing: Fully Protected, Unprotected, and DRI. In both common fiber and split

fiber routing, each member can use a different protection scheme; however, for common fiber routing,

CTC checks the combination to make sure that a valid route exists. If it does not, the user must modify

the protection type.

In both common fiber and split fiber routing, intermediate nodes treat the VCAT members as normal

circuits that are independently routed and protected by the SDH network. At the terminating nodes, these

member circuits are multiplexed into a contiguous stream of data. Figure 7-3 shows an example of

common fiber routing.
