Multiplexing of Virtual Containers

Поиск

The general principle of this multiplexing operation is fairly straight forward. Several VC12s, which should, hopefully, be synchronous with one another, are loaded into a larger Synchronous Container, which subsequently has its own POH added, thus creating a larger i.e. higher bit rate, VC. (See Figure 42.6.) In CEPT countries, this operation results in the creation of a VC4, which is large enough to accommodate up to 63 VC12s. Unfortunately, as discussed in Sec­tion 42.3, complications arise in this operation, because the network element that is performing this task, may not itself have created all the VC12s. (See Figure 42.9.) This leads to the possibility that not all the VCI2s are completely synchronous with one another or, more importantly, with the VC4 into which they are being loaded.

The solution to this problem comes in two parts. Firstly, the internal structure of the VC4 has been purposely designed to allow each VC12 to run slightly faster, or slower, than the VC4 rate. This is done by designating certain bytes in the C4 as overflow bytes (one per VC12) to cope with a VC12 that is running too fast. On the other hand, when a VC12 is running slow, then occasionally, a VC12 byte can be repeated. Secondly, this (hopefully) infrequent change of phase of a VC12 relative to its VC4 is recorded by means of a pointer. A VC4 maintains one pointer for each of the VCI2s within its payload, and each pointer registers the offset in bytes between the first byte of the VC4 and the POH byte of a particular VC12. Each pointer is located in a pre-defined position within the VC4, hence once the VC4 POH has been located, it is a simple matter of counting bytes in order to locate each of the 63 pointers to the VC12s. (See Figure 42.10.)

The trigger for a rephasing of a VC12 relative to its VC4 is when the fill of the VC12 input buffer (into which the incoming VC12 is written prior to loading into the VC4) exceeds a pre-determined threshold. At this point, what appears to be a fairly conventional justification occurs, with either an extra VC12 byte being loadedinto the VC4 (into the overflow position mentioned earlier) or, conversely, one byte being repeated. (See Figure 42.11.) Either way, the resulting change of phase of VC12 relative to VC4 is tracked by a corresponding change in pointer value.

Because of the importance of pointer for locating low order VCs (VC12s) within high order VCs (VC4s), the combination of a low order VC plus its pointer is referred to as a Tributary Unit (TU). In this case, the combination of a VC12 plus its pointer constitutes aTU12.
