Library rates

In the Library à Logical Pathsà SDH/SONET types:

New standardized rates

These Rates include:

•Base rate: SPE (equivalent behavior to a VC4 in SDH)

•High Order rates: STS-1/OC-1 to STS-n/OC-n (rates capable of transporting 1 to n SPE’s)

•VT-Group (used as an intermediate object, always a direct child of a SPE, to Group Low Order SONET rates mapped to an SPE)

•Low Order Rates: VT1.5, VT-2, VT-3, VT-6

Rate compatibility

Matrix of rate compatibility for PDH and SONET rates. Note that Higher order rate compatibility is achieved with routing concatenated SPE paths, as per the behavior of VC4’s in SDH.
