WAN-PHY SONET Controller |
Release 7.2.1 |
WAN-PHY renders 10 Gigabit Ethernet frames compatible with the SONET OC-192 or SDH STM-64 container format as defined by ANSI. In this release WAN-PHY supports only SONET OC-192 format. |
Support for SDH mode under WAN-PHY Controller |
Release 7.2.2 |
In this release, support of SDH STM-64 format is added for WAN-PHY Controllers. Support of SONET OC-192 formats existed in earlier releases. |
WAN-PHY renders 10 Gigabit Ethernet compatible with the SONET STS-192c and SDH STM-64 container format as defined by ANSI. WAN-PHY effectively bridges the asynchronous world of Ethernet data with synchronous SONET/SDH transport allowing 10 Gigabit Ethernet to be transparently carried over current DWDM networks without having to directly map the Ethernet frames into SONET/SDH.
To achieve this compatibility, a WAN Interface Sublayer (WIS) is inserted between the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and the serial Physical Medium Attachment sublayer/Physical Medium Dependent sublayer (PMA/PMD).
When the controller is in SONET mode the WIS sublayer transports 10 Gigabit Ethernet frames in an OC-192c SONET payload which can interoperate with SONET section or line level repeaters.
When the controller is in SDH mode the WIS sublayer transports 10 Gigabit Ethernet frames in an STM-64 payload which can interoperate with SDH section or line level repeaters.
WAN-PHY is supported on NC55-MPA-12T-S card and 10G pluggables.
