Definition

 

 

 

PSD (1+1)

 

In a 1+1 protection scheme, Protection Switching Duration (PSD) applies to the

 

 

length of time, in seconds, that service is carried on another line. For a working line,

 

 

PSD is a count of the number of seconds that service was carried on the protection

 

 

line.

 

 

For the protection line, PSD is a count of the seconds that the line was used to carry

 

 

service. The PSD PM is only applicable if revertive line-level protection switching is

 

 

used.

 

 

 

PSD (BLSR)

 

Protection Switching Duration (PSD) applies to the length of time, in seconds, that

 

 

service is carried on another line. For a working line, PSD is a count of the number

 

 

of seconds that service was carried on the protection line.

 

 

For the protection line, PSD is a count of the seconds that the line was used to carry

 

 

service. The PSD PM is only applicable if revertive line-level protection switching is

 

 

used.

 

 

Therefore, if a protection switch occurs on a two-fiber BLSR, the PSD of the

 

 

protection span to which the traffic is switched will increment, and when the switched

 

 

traffic returns to its original working span from the protect span, the PSD of the

 

 

protect span will stop incrementing.

 

 

 

PSD-R

 

In a four-fiber BLSR, Protection Switching Duration-Ring (PSD-R) is a count of the

 

 

seconds that the protection line was used to carry service. A count is only

 

 

incremented if ring switching is used.

 

 

 

PSD-S

 

In a four-fiber BLSR, Protection Switching Duration-Span (PSD-S) is a count of the

 

 

seconds that the protection line was used to carry service. A count is only

 

 

incremented if span switching is used.

 

 

 

PSD-W

 

For a working line in a two-fiber BLSR Protection Switching Duration-Working

 

 

(PSD-W) is a count of the number of seconds that service was carried on the

 

 

protection line. PSD-W increments on the failed working line and PSD increments on

 

 

the active protect line.

 

 

 

SEFS-S

 

Section Severely Errored Framing Seconds (SEFS-S) is a count of the seconds when

 

 

an SEF defect was present. An SEF defect is expected to be present during most

 

 

seconds when an LOS or loss of frame (LOF) defect is present. However, there can

 

 

be situations when the SEFS-S parameter is only incremented based on the presence

 

 

of the Severely Errored Framing (SEF) defect.

 

 

 

SES-L

 

Line Severely Errored Seconds (SES-L) is a count of the seconds containing more

 

 

than a particular quantity of anomalies (BPV + EXZ > 1544) and/or defects on the

 

 

line.

 

 

 

SES-LFE

 

Far-End Line Severely Errored Seconds (SES-LFE) is a count of the seconds when K

 

 

(see Telcordia GR-253-CORE for values) or more line-layer BIP errors were reported

 

 

by the far-end LTE or an RDI-L defect was present.

 

 

 

SES-P

 

Near-End STS Path Severely Errored Seconds (SES-P) is a count of the seconds when

 

 

K (2400) or more STS path BIP errors were detected. An AIS-P defect (or a

 

 

lower-layer, traffic-related, near-end defect) or an LOP-P defect can also cause an

 

 

SES-P.

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.
