Circuits and Tunnels
If you create VT1.5 circuits on nodes in UPSR or 1+1 protection, an additional STS is used for the
protect path at the source and drop nodes.
When the circuit is completed:
Three of the 24 STSs available for VT1.5 mapping on the XTC card are used (one input and two
•
outputs, one output for the working path and one output for the protect path).
21 STSs are available for VT1.5 circuits.
