"Delivering Carrier Ethernet: Extending Ethernet Beyond the LAN"


It is defined as a type of GFP mapping in which a client signal frame is received and
mapped in its entirety into one GFP Frame.
A Transparent Mode is a block-code oriented adaptation mode. In this mode, a blockcoded
client characters are decoded and then mapped into a fixed length GFP frame
and may be transmitted immediately without waiting for the receipt of a complete
client data frame.
Circuit-Bonding Platform The circuit-bonding platform is a combination of GFP, virtual
concatenation, and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS). LCAS has the ability to
increase or decrease the number of client connections or the size of a given pipe. Circuit
bonding is engineered to utilize the entire capacity of the bonded pipe, making all the
bandwidth available to users. Figure 10.4 shows the client and line side view of circuit
bonding.
Circuit bonding allows
?–  Aggregated bandwidth across multiple physically diverse transmission channels,
independent of line data rate and format.
?–  Multiple clients mapped simultaneously into the aggregated line-side bandwidth.
?–  Inherent compensation for variations in the arrival time of the aggregated channels.
