Overview
A muxponder module allows for one or more clients to be multiplexed/de-multiplexed into
a single, high-speed network interface performing service aggregation. Generally the
clients are low-speed services allowing many to be multiplexed/de-multiplexed into the
high-speed network. However, some modules will support a single, higher-speed client to
the single, high-speed network.
Network interfaces are generally for connection to the ADVA WDM network via optical
filters or ROADMs. ADVA networks are either DWDM or CWDM. These interfaces vary
per application in wavelength, reach, rate, modulation, and bandwidth. Interfaces may be
physically fixed or pluggable. Many are user configurable for the major parameters. In
some cases, the high-speed network interface may be used for module-to-module
interconnection within a single network element.
Client interfaces are generally customer services interfacing directly to the customer
equipment. In some cases, the client interfaces may be used for module-to-module
interconnection within a single network element. To support this role, a variety of client
physical interfaces are supported. These are generally optical but in some cases
specialized optical or electrical cables may be supported as well. Client physical
interfaces are almost always pluggable.
Muxponder client and network interfaces generally provide extensive support of interface
protocols. This may include functions such as Forward Error Correction (FEC), Digital
Performance PMs, Fault Detection, Error Forwarding (or line conditioning), and In Band
DCN transport.
Muxponder multiplex/de-multiplex methods are generally transparent. In most
applications, the method does not alter the client signal in either protocol or timing. Client
