Re: WIS OH

Title: RE: WIS OH
David,
 
In addition to simple loss of sync, If the "ELTE" has protection/maintenance switching functionality on the line side, it should be able to restore the optical circuit within a few milliseconds.  In this case, the MAC will see the ReceiveDataValid line be in the inactive state for only a few milliseconds.  For some systems, this will mean that some frames will be discarded.  Please see my presentation about how fast traffic can be restored over protection switched optical networks: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/10G_study/public/jan00/bynum_1_0100.pdf.
 
Thank you,
Roy Bynum

Osamu,

Your description is correct. If you're asking how the WAN PHY will react to
Line/Path AIS, the pointer processor will detect AIS-P and the all ones
signal will be passed from the WIS up to the 66/64 decoder, which will lose
sync (e.g. LOD defect, Loss Of Delineation), then the MAC will see the
ReceiveDataValid line inactive & discard frames.

    Hi Dave,

    Could you help me to understand how WAN-PHY and ELTE would react on
    SONET AIS (Alarm Indicaton Signal)?

    When we have cable cut in SONET infrastructure, the SONET side of
    the ELTE will receive either Line-AIS or Path-AIS.

      Line-AIS: all '1' in Line OH and SPE payload.
                generated by the regenerator who detect upstream cable cut.
                detected by the last 3 bits in K2 (at least 3 consecutive '111')
               
      Path-AIS: all '1' in AU pointer and SPE payload.
                generated by LTE who detect upstream cable cut.
                detected by the all '1' in H1&H2 at least 3 consecutive frames.

    Thank you,
    Osamu
