AT2450 Europa Deeply Channelized Multi-Protocol Processor |
The AT2450 Europa is a high-density deep channelization Multi-protocol processor supporting 2048 channels from STS-12c to DS0 with an aggregate capacity of 1.244Gbps. It allows Ethernet and
most data services to be terminated and mapped to/from SONET/SDH and/or PDH channels. EUROPA provides four individually programmable OC-3/STM-1 or OC-12/STM-4 eight bit parallel or serial
interfaces with SerDes and CDR. It provides a complete ADM or Terminal for PDH or Data services. It supports deep channelization including any SONET/SDH VCAT payload, 24 DS3/E3s with
multi-vendor CSU/DSU subrate and M13/E13 or VT/TU mapped 672/504 DS1, E1, J1s and nxDS0 via an OIF SPI-3 interface. Channelization includes standard-based contiguous, any random and Virtual
Concatenation or PDH VCAT and LCAS in compliance with G.7043. These channels may include ITU-T I.432.2 (ATM), ITU-T G.7041 (GFP), RFC-1619/1662/2615 (PPP), ITU-T X.85/86 (LAPS), HDLC or BCP
mapped flexibly to SONET or PDH. Encapsulation also includes support for Cisco HDLC, Frame Relay, and Ethernet mapping to either SONET/SDH or PDH. Additional processing for ML FR, ML PPP,
IMA, and L2+ can be provided by an external Access/Network Processor via the SPI-3 port.
Data is encapsulated then mapped into the SONET/SDH VCAT VCGs, including the 16k-DS0 or 672/504 DS1/E1/J1 or 24 DS3/E3 channels, and then mapped to the SONET/SDH network interfaces or to external LIUs via a parallel PDH interface. Europa supports a flexible mapping from SPI-3<-> SONET/SDH, SPI-3<-> PDH interface or PDH interface <-> SONET/SDH. The SONET/SDH interfaces include framers, pointer processors and complete TOH and POH processing. The SONET/SDH interfaces support hardware-based SONET/SDH automatic protection switching (APS) and SDH Multiplex Section Protection (MSP) for UPSR/SNCP rings, Linear and P2P. The STS/AU, TU3 and VT/TU cross-connects are provided for ADM and Terminal applications, flexible channel assignment, channel re-arrangement, protection switching, diagnostics and loopbacks. |
