The IP OSS manages ONS 15600 and other vendor NEs using TL1 and FTP.

The ONS 15600 GNE performs mediation for other vendor NEs.

DCCs between the ONS 15600 GNE and ONS 15600 NEs are provisioned for IP and OSI over PPP.

DCCs between the ONS 15600 GNE and other vendor NEs are provisioned for OSI over LAP-D.

The ONS 15600 and the other vendor NE network include IP over OSPF and OSI over the IS-IS protocol.

The ONS 15600 GNE routes TL1 traffic to the correct NE by resolving the TL1 TID to either an IP or NSAP address. For TL1 traffic to other vendor NEs (OSI-only nodes), the TID is resolved to an NSAP address. The ONS 15600 GNE passes the TL1 to the mediation function, which encapsulates it over the full OSI stack and routes it to the destination using the IS-IS protocol.

For TL1 traffic to ONS 15600 NEs, the TID is resolved to both an IP and an NSAP address. The

ONS 15600 GNE follows the current TL1 processing model and forwards the request to the destination NE using the TCP/IP stack and OSPF routing.

ONS 15600 specifications

Cisco Systems ONS 15600 is a highly versatile optical networking platform designed to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data services. This multiservice edge platform supports various transmission mediums and offers a wide array of features that enable efficient data transport. Ideal for service providers and large enterprises, the ONS 15600 is engineered to provide scalable and reliable optical transport solutions.

One of the notable features of the ONS 15600 is its capability to support multiple protocols, including SONET/SDH, Ethernet, OTN, and legacy TDM services. This flexibility allows users to tailor their networks according to specific service requirements while ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure. The platform is designed to facilitate seamless service migration, accommodating both legacy and next-generation services.

The modular architecture of the ONS 15600 enhances its scalability. It allows for easy expansion by incorporating additional line cards or interface modules without requiring significant downtime. This modularity ensures that service providers can evolve their networks over time, responding to increasing bandwidth demands and new service offerings with ease.

Incorporating advanced technologies, the ONS 15600 employs Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), significantly increasing the capacity of fiber networks by allowing multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single optical fiber. This capability helps to optimize fiber utilization and reduce operational costs. In addition, the platform supports Optical Transport Network (OTN) for improved error detection and correction, contributing to higher reliability and performance.

Another key characteristic of the ONS 15600 is its robust management capabilities. The platform can be managed through Cisco's Optical Networking Manager (ONM), providing a centralized interface for network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This enhances operational efficiency and minimizes downtime, allowing service providers to focus on delivering quality services to their customers.

The ONS 15600 also prioritizes security, offering various features like encryption and access control to safeguard sensitive data during transmission. With its combination of scalability, flexibility, and security, the Cisco ONS 15600 stands out as a reliable choice for organizations looking to enhance their optical networking capabilities while meeting the evolving demands of the digital landscape. Its commitment to quality and performance makes it a cornerstone of modern optical networks.
