Re: Doubt in draft ccamp-gmpls-sonet-sdh-00.txt



Marteen,
         Agreed, As per G.707, STM-64 consist of 64 VC-4 signals. I
have one doubt here.  I want to discuss two cases in where two signals
viz. VC-4-3c (contiguously concatenated signals) and VC-4-3v (virtually
concatenated signals) have to be allocated to satisfy the two Label
Request/Path messages.
In case of VC-4-3c, do I have to allocate the contiguous VC-4s (viz.
say 4th, 5th and 6th and not 10th, 20th and 30th) ? If I allocate the
contiguous signal, does this mean in this case I have to pass only one
label corresponding to the multiplexing position of 4th VC-4 (Lowest
one) and other VC-4s will be derived by the receiving end from the
lowest signal.

In case of contiguous concatenation, Can the contiguous VC-4 signals
span the AUG-Xc in STM-N [ like STM-64 consist of AUG-64. Say it
consist of 4 VC-4-16c. If I have to allocate 20 VC-4s in contiguous
concatenation, can I span VC-4s allocation across the AU-4-16cs  ?


In case of virtual concatenation, Can I allocate non-contiguous signals
(viz. 10th, 20th, 30th) ? In this case I have to pass 3 labels
corresponding to each VC-4 position in the multiplexing hierarchy.
Does this hold true for arbitrary concatenation also ?

Please clarify.

Regards,
manoj.
