Such nodes require the ability to ensure just the right amount of bandwidth is allocated for the client payload -- which is where virtual concatenation becomes beneficial due to its convenience in specifying payload size. The MetroLink2T-2 Link-Layer device aggregates two channels of GbE, Fibre Channel, FICON, or ESCON client traffic onto a single SPI-3 bus. The MetroLink2T-2 SPI-3 interface connects to the POSIC2GVC/POSIC2G framer which is used to create the SONET/SDH frame required for network transport. SERDES Interface The CYL2T0201 MetroLink2T-2 GFP-T mapper interface to the two-channel SERDES device supports the following functions: • Error detection and handling • Egress rate adaptation. The SERDES interface allows for a seamless connection to the CY15G0201DX device, as shown in Figure 1. GFP-T Engine GFP-T is a version of GFP that provides the benefits of framemapped GFP (header error correction/rugged links,” known transport bandwidth/no byte-stuffing) with low latency. CYL2T0201 The MetroLink2T-2 mapping engine follows the ITU recommendation G.7041 from January 2002. The GFP-T engine in the MetroLink2T-2 device supports one or two channels, and contains protocol-specific functions to allow the seamless transport of Fibre Channel, FICON, ESCON, or GbE. SPI-3 Interface The SPI-3 interface was designed to support Packet-overSONET/SDH (POS) in the OC-48/STM-16 (2.488 Gbps) and below environment. It allows efficient packet transfer between a framer and a link layer device. SPI-3 supports multiple ports and has in-band port selection. SPI-3 has discrete transmit/receive control signals for Start of Packet (SOP), End of Packet (EOP), start of transfer, error indications, and other control indications. Transmit FIFO status flow control is provided by using either a polling or a direct status indication scheme. Since the SPI-3 interface supports data transfers at clock rates independent of the actual line bit rate, FIFOs are specified to allow the rate decoupling. The SPI-3 interface specifies parity on the data bus. SPI-3 also specifies a maximum clock rate of 104 MHz. Since the SPI-3 interface is a point-to-point interface, the MetroLink2T-2 should connect to one framer device, such as a POSIC2GVC. SPI-3 and MetroLink2T-2 support variablelength packets. MetroLink2T-2 supports the 32-bit-wide packet-level transfer mode of SPI-3. In SPI-3, the PHY port address is inserted in-band with the packet data being transferred on the data bus. SPI-3 allows up to 256 ports; since MetroLink2T-2 is a two-channel device, only one or two SPI-3 ports are supported by MetroLink2T-2.
