Trail Trace Identifier:
TTI is similar to the J0 byte in SONET/SDH. It is used to identify the signal from the source to the destination within
the network.
TTI contains the so called Access Point Identifiers (API) which are used to specify the Source Access Point
Identifier (SAPI) and Destination Access Point Identifier (DAPI).
The APIs contain information regarding the country of origin, network operator and administrative details.
Payload Structure Identifier:
PSI field transports a 256-byte message aligned with the ODU multiframe.
PSI0 contains the Payload Type (PT) identifying the payload being transported.
The OPU Payload Type (PT) is a single byte defined within PSI to indicate the composition of the OPU
signal, or in other words, the type of payload being carried in the OPU.
TCM Tasks:
Used to analyze or edit the sequence of TCMi (i = 1 to 6) bytes by generating alarms and errors in the Tandem
connection sub-layer.
Round Trip Delay (Propagation Delay):
Measurement works by sending a test pattern. Bit errors are transmitted in the
pattern. The time it takes for the error to reach the receiver is the propagation time through the network.
