1. Introduction
1. 介绍

Current implementations of PPP over SONET/SDH are required to select transport structures from the relatively limited number of contiguously concatenated signals that are available.

当前SONET/SDH上PPP的实现需要从相对有限的可用连续级联信号中选择传输结构。

The only currently supported SONET/SDH SPE/VCs in RFC 2615 [3] are the following:

RFC 2615[3]中目前唯一支持的SONET/SDH SPE/VCs如下:

          SONET                   SDH
      ----------------------------------------
      STS-3c-SPE                  VC-4
      STS-12c-SPE                 VC-4-4c
      STS-48c-SPE                 VC-4-16c
      STS-192c-SPE                VC-4-64c
        
          SONET                   SDH
      ----------------------------------------
      STS-3c-SPE                  VC-4
      STS-12c-SPE                 VC-4-4c
      STS-48c-SPE                 VC-4-16c
      STS-192c-SPE                VC-4-64c
        

Note that VC-4-4c and above are not widely supported in SDH networks at present.

请注意,目前SDH网络中不广泛支持VC-4-4c及以上版本。

The use of virtual concatenation means that the right size SONET/SDH bandwidth can be selected for PPP links.

虚拟连接的使用意味着可以为PPP链路选择适当大小的SONET/SDH带宽。

Higher levels of virtual concatenation are possible, but not necessarily useful. Lower levels of virtual concatenation are defined in the telecommunications standards for use if needed.

更高级别的虚拟连接是可能的,但不一定有用。电信标准中定义了较低级别的虚拟连接,以便在需要时使用。

Table 1 and Table 2, respectively depict the SONET/SDH transport structures that are currently available to carry various popular bit rates. Each table contains three columns. The first column shows the bit rates of the service to be transported.

3. Physical Layer Requirements
3. 物理层要求

There are two minor modifications to the physical layer requirements as defined in RFC 2615 when virtually concatenated SPEs/VCs are used to provide transport for PPP over SONET/SDH.

当使用虚拟连接的SPE/VCs通过SONET/SDH为PPP提供传输时,RFC 2615中定义的物理层要求有两个小修改。

First, the path signal label (C2 byte) value for SONET/SDH STS-1/VC-3 and above SPE/VCs is required to be the same for all constituent channels. This is in contrast to the use of a single C2 byte for PPP transport over contiguously concatenated SONET/SDH SPE/VCs. The values used for the C2 bytes should be in accordance with RFC 2615. For SONET VT-1.5/2/6 and SDH VC-11/12/2 the path signal label (V5 byte bits 5-7) is required to be the same for all constituent channels per ITU-T G.707 [7] and ANSI T1.105.02 [6].

首先,对于所有组成信道,SONET/SDH STS-1/VC-3及以上SPE/VCs的路径信号标签(C2字节)值必须相同。这与在连续连接的SONET/SDH SPE/VCs上使用单个C2字节进行PPP传输形成对比。C2字节使用的值应符合RFC 2615的要求。对于SONET VT-1.5/2/6和SDH VC-11/12/2,根据ITU-T G.707[7]和ANSI T1.105.02[6],所有组成信道的路径信号标签(V5字节位5-7)必须相同。

Second, for SONET/SDH STS-1/VC-3 and above SPE/VCs the multi-frame indicator (H4) byte will be unused for transport links utilizing contiguously concatenated SONET/SDH SPE/VCs. When the concatenation scheme is virtual as opposed to contiguous, the H4 byte must be populated as per ITU-T G.707 or T1.105.02. Similarly, for virtual concatenation based on SONET VT-1.5/2/6 and SDH VC-11/12/2 channels bit 2 of the path overhead K4 byte will be set to the value indicated per ITU-T G.707 [7] and ANSI T1.105.02 [6].

其次,对于SONET/SDH STS-1/VC-3及以上SPE/VCs,多帧指示符(H4)字节将不用于使用连续级联SONET/SDH SPE/VCs的传输链路。当串联方案是虚拟的而不是连续的时,必须按照ITU-T G.707或T1.105.02填充H4字节。同样,对于基于SONET VT-1.5/2/6和SDH VC-11/12/2通道的虚拟级联,路径开销K4字节的第2位将设置为根据ITU-T G.707[7]和ANSI T1.105.02[6]指示的值。

4. Standards Status
4. 标准状态

ITU-T (SG13/SG15), ANSI T1X1 and ETSI TM1/WP3 have developed a global standard for SONET/SDH High Order and Low Order payload Virtual Concatenation. This standard is defined in the following documents:
