The ESLM maps Ethernet packets to SONET/SDH frames using industrystandard mechanisms: Generic Framing Procedure (GFP), Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS). This module supports 10 x GbE or 1 x 10GbE ports and up to 64 SONET/SDH Virtual Concatenation Groups (VCGs),…

…discarded or placed elsewhere in the network. Additionally, most ADMs that do support Ethernet services do not utilize standards-based GFP SONET mapping. Without GFP, Ethernet services must be converted and reconverted multiple times as the Ethernet service crosses multi-vendor SONET networks. This is…
