Hardware architecture 41
Superloop network configurations
By combining four network loops, the superloop network card makes 120 timeslots available to IPE cards. Compared to regular network loops, the increased bandwidth and a larger pool of timeslots increases network traffic capacity for each
The NT8D37 IPE module is divided into segments numbered

Superloop segments in the IPE module
A superloop is made up of NT8D04 Superloop Network cards, NT8D01AC or NT8D01BC
A number of
•one segment per superloop requires four superloop network cards and one
•two segments per superloop requires two superloop network cards and one
