Data rate calculations
This section provides instructions, tables and graphs to allow calculation of the data
rate capacity that can be provided by alternative PTP 600 configurations.
The following topics are described in this section:
• Data rate defined on
page 4-99
• Calculation procedure and example on
page 4-99
• Data throughput capacity on
page 4-102
• Range adjustment curves on pag
e 4-113
Data rate defined
The data rate capacity of a PTP link is defined as the maximum end-to-end Ethernet
throughput (including Ethernet headers) that it can support. It is assumed that
Ethernet frames are 1500 octet. Data rate capacity is determined by the following
factors:
• Product variant (PTP 600 Full or Lite)
• Link Symmetry
• Link Mode Optimization (IP or TDM)
• Modulation Mode
• Channel Bandwidth
• Link Range
Calculation procedure and example
Procedure
To calculate the data rate capacity of a PTP 600 link, perform Procedure 4-1.
