Chapter 1 Introduction

 

 

Configuring the TDM bytes per frame (TDM bytes/frame) parameter has impact on the Ethernet throughput (bandwidth or traffic traveling through the Ethernet). This parameter controls the number of TDM bytes encapsulated in one frame.

The TDM bytes/frame parameter can be configured to N 48 bytes where N is an integer between 1 and 30.

To calculate Ethernet throughput as a function of TDM bytes/frame:

Ethernet load (bps) = [(frame overhead (bytes) + TDM bytes/frame) 8] frames/second

Frame overhead = Ethernet overhead + IP overhead = 46 bytes

Note The frame overhead does not include:

Preamble field: 7 bytes

SFD field: 1 byte

Interframe gap: 12 bytes

VLAN field (when used): 4 bytes.

Frame/second =

Unframed: 5447/n for a full E1 4107/n for a full T1

Framed: 8000 k/(46.875 x n) Where k = number of assigned timeslots

Where n = TDM bytes/frame 48

The maximum Ethernet throughput mode is calculated by:
