7.3.2 Provisioning OC-N Cards for SDH
You can provision the ONS 15454 OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48 cards to support either SONET or SDH
over SONET signals. When provisioned for SDH, each OC-N port drops and inserts STM traffic in
unprotected or 1+1 protection mode. Each STM-1 signal is mapped as a 155 Mbps concatenated signal
(STS-3c) for transparent transport over a SONET network. The original STM-1 traffic may be handed
off as an STM-1 or OC-3.
Because SDH and SONET frame format and size are nearly identical, their line speeds meet, starting at
155 Mbps. For example, at the STM-1/OC-3 level, the ONS 15454 performs section and line overhead
conversions and maps the 261x9 byte VC-4 into an STS-3c for transparent transport across the SONET
domain. At the far end, the STS-3c carrying the original VC-4 is remapped into an STM-1 for handoff
to an SDH network element (node). Table 7-9 shows the SDH over SONET mapping for the ONS 15454
OC-N cards.
