PPP/BCP
PPP/BCP
The PPP encapsulation is a standard implementation of RFC 2615 (PPP-over-SONET/SDH), and
provides a standard implementation of RFC 3518 (BCP) to provide th e transmission of 802.1Q tagged
and untagged Ethernet frames over SONET. Figure 20-4 illustrates BCP.

In some framing modes, the ONS 15454/ONS 15454 SDH ML-Series card supports routing functions.
When this card POS port is configured to support routing with the PPP encapsulation, the IP packets are
mapped into the HDLC frames that use the standard 0x0021 protocol code point. Figure 20-5 illustrates
PPP.

Cisco HDLC
Cisco HDLC is a Cisco-standard mapping of packets into a serial interface. This encapsulation can be
used to connect the interface on an ML-Series card to a POS interface on Cisco HDLC-compliant routers
and switches.
When used to carry IP packets, the same HDLC frame structure is used, however the protocol field is set
to 0x0800, and the payload contains the IP packet. Figure 20-6 illustrates Cisco HDLC.
