Customer connection

Definition:

Customer connections are transport containers that are treated as chargeable paths from a commercial point of view.  Customer connections cannot receive additional objects (TC´s).

Transmission types (capacities):

The transmission types are freely definable and have no impact on the interconnection.

Interconnection:

Customer connections  are interconnected in external transport containers (all types, except temporary elements) regardless of the allocated capacity.

For the interconnection of a customer connection via trails

-no check for available bandwidth is carried out, i.e. the bandwidth of the customer connection may be greater than the trail.

-the entire bandwidth of the trail is “filled in” if the topology of the trail is defined as Point-to-Point, i.e. in a trail only one customer connection can be interconnected.

-several customer connections in a trail can be interconnected if the topology of the trail is defined as “bus ring”, i.e. may have multiports.
