Figure 1-3 Typical Applications for MUXpro with Transparent LAN Ports
Typically, each transparent LAN port can be used to serve a specific application,
or a division within a larger enterprise.
The traffic passing through each transparent LAN port is routed to a specific
virtually concatenated group (port 5 – to group 5, port 6 – to group 6, etc.). It
means that each transparent LAN port can be independently routed through the
SDH network, and each port can be allocated exclusive access to a user-selected
fraction of the link bandwidth as well.
The traffic from each LAN port is transparently transported across the SDH
network, with no processing except encapsulation (LAPS or GFP). Therefore, the
MUXpro link serves as a LAN extender; it indicates that a user-provided router or
Layer 2 switch must be used when it is essential to avoid local traffic from flowing
to the remote site through the SDH network.
