6.1.3  Protection 
The Ethernet service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several 
levels, including: 
 
Protection of the spanning tree, LCAS and flow control 
 
Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP 
1.  LCAS 
LCAS provides an error tolerance mechanism, enhancing the reliability of 
concatenation. It has the following functions: 
 
Configure the system capacity, add or reduce the number of VC involved in the 
concatenation and change the service bandwidth dynamically without damaging 
the service. 
 
Protect and recover failed members. 
As shown in Figure 6-6, LCAS can add or delete members to increase or decrease 
the bandwidth dynamically without affecting the service.
