Emulation of TDM Circuit via MPLS/IP (PWE3/TDM)
PWE3 is a mechanism that emulates the essential attributes of a T1/E1 line over a packet-switched
network (PSN). This evolutionary technology allows you to migrate all packet networks f rom legacy
TDM networks, yet provides transport for legacy applications. PWE3/TDM emulates T1/E1
unstructured and structured lines, including NxDS0 circuits over a M ultiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) infrastructure.
Configuration for provisioning and creating the PW is done through the existing xconnect interface.
A new command cem-group has been added to this feature to create a circuit emulation (CEM) channel
from one or more time slots of T1/E1.
The group-number keyword identifies the group number used for this channel.
For T1 controller, the range is 0-23. (24 cem-groups id)
For E1 controller, the range is 0-30. (30 cem-groups id)
Use the unframed keyword to specify that a single CEM channel is being creat ed, including all time slots
with no framing structure defined. If time slots are defined, the PWE3 ci rcuit is circuit emulation service
over packet-switched network (CESoPSN).
