Wide Service Interface Mix
Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP supports a wide set of interface and service types, which can be fully transparently
transported through complex mesh or very simple point-to-point networks. The service interfaces allow network
providers to offer new tariffs and allow enterprise customers to natively transport a wide variety of services over a
common transport network without unnecessary conversion stages and equipment. Additionally, a wide service mix
simplifies the planning for services. The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP supports a broad range of standards-based
services in a single platform, including:
●
Aggregated lower-rate TDM services from DS-1/E1 over 2.5-Gbps and 10-Gbps wavelengths
●
SONET/SDH wavelength and aggregated services: OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, and OC-
192/STM-64
●
Data services: private-line, switched and wavelength-based, including 10/100BASE-T, Gigabit Ethernet, 10
Gigabit Ethernet LAN physical layer, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN physical layer
●
Storage services: 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps and 4-Gbps Fibre Channel, 10-Gbps Fibre Channel, IBM Fiber Connection
(FICON), and Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON), ETR/CLO, ISC-1, ISC-3
●
Video services: D1, DV6000 and high-definition television (HDTV)
Service Transparency
Critical to offering a wide service mix is a DWDM system’s ability to offer the level of transparency required by the
service. The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP solution offers the choice of multiservice aggregation, wavelength
aggregation, and wavelength transport, combined with integrated, intelligent DWDM transmission, in a single
platform to optimize network costs for any mix of service types. Using digital-wrapper and Optical Transport Network
(OTN) technologies (defined in ITU-T G.709) enables transparency, allows enhanced wavelength management and
provides extended optical reach thanks to the integrated Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Enhanced Forward
Error Correction (E-FEC).
Unique to the market is also the possibility for the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP to support direct interconnection with
DWDM interfaces from Layer 2, Layer 3, and storage area network (SAN) devices. This element integration
eliminates the need for costly and complex OEO conversions at the boundaries of the network or where the traffic
simply needs to pass through a site without having to terminate on a router (for IP processing) or on a SAN device.
In cases where termination is necessary, the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP hands off the optical wavelength, keeping it in
the optical domain without the need to perform an electrical conversion in order to hand off the traffic to the Layer 2,
Layer 3, and SAN devices, where the electrical conversion is used only for service processing.
All the intelligent optical transmission-related features and functions can be supported by the Cisco ONS 15454
MSTP with these types of “alien” wavelengths and services as well.
