• The maximum possible ring-protected capacity on the node is therefore 32xE1
(the lesser of the two capacities).
• Actual ring-protection capacity required is 22xE1. This leaves 41xE1
non-ring-protected capacity towards the west, and 10xE1 towards the east.
• The DAC 16x is configured for 4xE1 drop-insert circuits from the ring, which
means there are 18xE1 pass-through circuits.
• The DAC ES is configured for 8xE1 (8x 2.048 Mbps) to support a 16 Mbps
LAN via a spanning-tree switch; 8x2 Mbps point-to-point circuits towards the
west, and 8x2 Mbps east.
• This leaves spare point-to-point capacity of 33xE1 towards the west, and 2xE1
east.
The circuits screen for this example is shown in Figure 9-6 on page 9-9.
