Chapter 1 PA-POS-1OC3 Overview

Using Statistics to Estimate Link Loss and Power Budget

Encapsulation Method Support

The following encapsulation methods are supported by the PA-POS-1OC3:

RFC 1619 PPP over SONET/SDH

We recommend that you refer to the Internet Draft Enabling Transparency for the PPP over SONET/SDH Mapping, which is recognized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) as an approved addendum to RFC 1619.

High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)

Frame Relay

Using Statistics to Estimate Link Loss and Power Budget

Statistical models more accurately determine the power budget than standard worst-case methods. Determining the link loss with statistical methods requires accurate knowledge of variations in the data link components. Statistical power budget analysis is beyond the scope of this document. For further information, refer to ITU-T standards and your equipment specifications.

The following publications contain information on determining attenuation and power budget:

T1E1.2/92-020R2 ANSI, the Draft American National Standard for Telecommunications entitled Broadband ISDN Customer Installation Interfaces: Physical Layer Specification.

Power Margin Analysis, AT&T Technical Note, TN89-004LWP, May 1989.

PA-POS-1OC3, PA-POS-2OC3 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been at the forefront of networking technology, providing solutions that empower organizations to enhance their connectivity and communication capabilities. Among its impressive lineup, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules stand out as significant components designed to optimize performance in service provider and enterprise environments.

The PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules are designed for use with the Cisco 7600 Series routers and are tailored for Packet Over SONET (POS) transport. Supporting the OC-3 speed of 155.52 Mbps, these modules provide reliable high-speed connectivity, enabling organizations to efficiently manage data traffic and ensure rapid data transfer across their networks. The PA-POS-2OC3 offers dual OC-3 capabilities, allowing for higher aggregate bandwidth and redundancy options, making it common in demanding network environments.

One of the main features of the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 is their enhanced support for advanced networking protocols, including MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). MPLS facilitates efficient data routing and improves bandwidth utilization by enabling multiple types of traffic to be consolidated over a single network. This is crucial for organizations looking to deploy services like VoIP, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

The modules also offer robust error correction and monitoring capabilities, which are essential for maintaining service quality in mission-critical applications. Administrators can monitor performance and diagnose issues in real-time, enabling swift responses to potential concerns that could disrupt service.

Moreover, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 are designed with features that support enterprise-grade security and scalability. This is particularly beneficial for organizations expecting growth or requiring enhanced protection for sensitive data as it traverses the network.

In summary, Cisco's PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules represent essential building blocks for high-speed networking solutions. Their support for OC-3 connectivity, advanced routing protocols, and robust monitoring capabilities make them ideal for both service providers and enterprises. Through increased scalability, improved bandwidth management, and enhanced security, these modules allow organizations to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of data communications effectively. With Cisco at the helm, businesses can trust in a networking solution that not only meets current demands but is also primed for future growth.
