Table 8-27 shows the input data rate for each client interface, and the encapsulation method. The current 
version of the GFP-T G.7041 supports transparent mapping of 8B/10B block-coded protocols, including 
Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ISC, and FICON.
In addition to the GFP mapping, 1-Gbps traffic on Port 1 or 2 of the high-speed SERDES is mapped to 
an STS-24c channel. If two 1-Gbps client signals are present at Port 1 and Port 2 of the high-speed 
SERDES, the Port 1 signal is mapped into the first STS-24c channel and the Port 2 signal into the second 
STS-24c channel. The two channels are then mapped into an OC-48 trunk channel.
There are two FPGAs on each MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L, and a group of four 
ports is mapped to each FPGA. Group 1 consists of Ports 1 through 4, and Group 2 consists of Ports 5 
through 8. Table 8-28 shows some of the mix and match possibilities on the various client data rates for 
Ports 1 through 4, and Ports 5 through 8. An X indicates that the data rate is supported in that port.
GFP-T PM is available through RMON and trunk PM is managed according to Telcordia GR-253-CORE 
and ITU G.783/826. Client PM is achieved through RMON for FC and GE.
A buffer-to-buffer credit management scheme provides FC flow control. With this feature enabled, a port 
indicates the number of frames that can be sent to it (its buffer credit), before the sender is required to 
stop transmitting and wait for the receipt of a “ready” indication The MXP_MR_10DME_C and 
MXP_MR_10DME_L cards support FC credit-based flow control with a buffer-to-buffer credit 
extension of up to 1600 km (994.1 miles) for 1G FC, up to 800 km (497.1 miles) for 2G FC, or up to 
400 km (248.5 miles) for 4G FC. The feature can be enabled or disabled. 
The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards feature a 1550-nm laser for the trunk/line 
port and a 1310-nm or 850-nm laser (depending on the SFP) for the client ports. The cards contains eight 
12.5 degree downward tilt SFP modules for the client interfaces. For optical termination, each SFP uses 
two LC connectors, which are labeled TX and RX on the faceplate. The trunk port is a dual-LC connector 
with a 45 degree downward angle.
