Nortel Networks NTRN10AN, 3500 manual Tributary, DWDM, BLSR, UPSR, and 1+1 linear point-to-point

2-8Operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) features

OPTera Metro 3500 supports bandwidth management capabilities that include time slot assignment (TSA), time slot interchange (TSI), hairpinning, broadcast, drop-and-continue, path protection, unidirectional services, connection editing, and in-service rollover. This bandwidth management capability is available at VT1.5, STS-1, STS-3c, STS-12c, STS-24c and STS-48c levels.

Features such as hairpinning between tributaries permit a single OPTera Metro 3500 shelf to be used instead of multiple colocated network elements.
