5.11 5.11 CE-100T-8 Card

The CE-100T8 card also supports the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), which allows hitless dynamic adjustment of SONET link bandwidth. The CE-100T-8 card’s LCAS is hardware-based, but the CE-100T-8 also supports SW-LCAS. This makes it compatible with the ONS 15454 SDH ML-Series card, which supports only SW-LCAS and does not support the standard hardware-based LCAS. SW-LCAS is supported when a circuit from the CE-100T-8 terminates on the ONS 15454 SDH ML-Series card.The circuit types supported are:

HO-CCAT

LO-VCAT with no HW-LCAS

LO-VCAT with HW-LCAS

STS-1-2v SW-LCAS with ML only.

Each 10/100 Ethernet port can be mapped to a SONET channel in increments of VT1.5 or STS-1 granularity, allowing efficient transport of Ethernet and IP over the SONET infrastructure.Figure 5-10 shows the CE-100T-8 card faceplate and block diagram.

The following paragraphs describe the general functions of the CE-100T-8 card and relate to the block diagram.In the ingress direction, (Ethernet-to-SONET), the PHY, which performs all of the physical layer interface functions for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, sends the frame to the network processor for queuing in the respective packet buffer memory. The network processor performs packet processing, packet
