11.1.1 OCHNC Circuits
11.1.1 OCHNC Circuits
OCHNC circuits establish connectivity between two optical nodes on a specified C-band wavelength.
The connection is made through the ports present on the wavelength selective switches, multiplexers,
demultiplexer, and add/drop cards. In an OCHNC circuit, the wavelength from a source OCH port
ingresses to a DWDM system and then egresses from the DWDM system to the destination OCH port.
The source and destination OCH port details are listed in Table 11-1.
11.1.2 OCHCC Circuits
OCHCC circuits extend the OCHNC to create an optical connection from the source client port to the
destination client port of the TXP/MXP cards. An OCHCC circuit represents the actual end-to-end client
service passing through the DWDM system.
Each OCHCC circuit is associated to a pair of client or trunk ports on the transponder (TXP), muxponder
(MXP), GE_XP (in layer-1 DWDM mode), 10GE_XP (in layer-1 DWDM mode), or ITU-T line card.
The OCHCCs can manage splitter protection as a single protected circuit. However, for the Y-Cable
protection, two OCHCC circuits and two protection groups are required.
