Bridge Control Protocol

The Bridge Control Protocol (BCP) is negotiated when packets for transport are Ethernet. BCP is responsible for configuring, enabling and disabling the bridge protocol modules on both ends of the link. Negotiation of BCP will not start until LCP negotiation has been completed and the NCP negotiation phase has been reached.

Network protection using UPSR, 1+1 linear and BLSR

Bandwidth management refers to the method in which the signal from the 100BT-P2P card interfaces with the OPTera Metro 3500 SONET paths. Generally an STS connection is formed between the 2x100BT-P2P circuit pack and another circuit pack on the shelf.
