Circuits and Tunnels
The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
Note
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This chapter explains Cisco ONS 15454 SDH high-order and low-order circuits; low-order, data
communication channel (DCC), and IP-encapsulated tunnels; and virtual concatenated (VCAT) circuits.
To provision circuits and tunnels, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

  • Page 12 It does not use the multiplex section DCCs; therefore, the MS-DCCs are available to tunnel DCCs from third-party equipment across ONS 15454 SDH networks. If D4 through D12 are used as data DCCs, they cannot be used for DCC tunneling.
  • Page 13 (span) cards. In the example, three tunnel connections are created, one at Node 1 (STM-1 to STM-16), one at Node 2 (STM-16 to STM-16), and one at Node 3 (STM-16 to STM-1). A DCC does not function on a mixed network of ONS 15454 SDH nodes and ONS 15454 nodes. DCC Note tunneling is required for ONS 15454 SDH nodes transporting data through ONS 15454 nodes.
  • Page 14 RS-DCC bandwidth. Each ONS 15454 SDH supports up to ten IP-encapsulated tunnels. You can convert a traditional DCC tunnel to an IP-encapsulated tunnel or an IP-encapsulated tunnel to a traditional DCC tunnel. Only tunnels in the DISCOVERED status can be converted.

The second circuit is created on the third-party network so that the circuit travels across the network on two paths to the ONS 15454 SDH nodes. That circuit routes the two circuit signals across the network to ONS 15454 SDH nodes that are connected to the network on other side.

You can use the strings to monitor interruptions or changes to circuit traffic.

  • Page 21 For bidirectional circuits, CTC creates an SNCP connection at the source node that allows traffic to be selected from one of the two sources on the ONS 15454 SDH network. If you check the Fully Path Protected option during circuit creation, traffic is protected within the ONS 15454 SDH network. At the destination, another SNCP connection is created to bridge traffic from the ONS 15454 SDH network to the two destinations.
