Engineering guidelines
The following are DCN engineering guidelines:
•
STM-1/4 DCC
— Maximum of 10 DCCs per network element
— Maximum of 1 Regenerator section (RS) or Multiplex section (MS)
DCC per optical interface
— Regenerator section (RS) DCC using D1-D3 bytes at 192 kbps
— Multiplex section (MS) DCC using D4-D12 bytes at 576 kbps
•
LAPD
— MTU frame size of 240 to 512 bytes (default is 512)
— Metric: The DCC default metric is set to 4. When interworking with
legacy network elements, use the following DCC metrics:
–
MS DCC: 5
–
RS DCC: 6
— CLNP supported over LAPD (Default MTU frame size of 512 bytes
when presented to CLNP. The MTU size is user configurable and
should be in the range [240-512] bytes).
•
PPP
— MTU frame size of 1518 bytes
— Non-configurable default parameters:
–
Maximum receive unit: no limitation
Note:
Does not perform negotiation for MRU and accepts packets of any
size
–
Authentication protocol: disabled
–
Quality protocol: None
–
Protocol field compressed: Disabled
–
Address and control field compressed: Disabled
–
FCS alternatives: 16 bit FCS
— Configurable default parameter:
–
Magic number: <Disable>
ATTENTION
For configurations that exceed the following guidelines, contact Nortel for
assistance.
