Installation and Operation Manual
1-18 Application Considerations
Bandwidth allocations must be made for the following uses:
•
MX-2100 frame synchronization
•
In-band management channel. This channel's main function is to allow a
connection to be made to the remote unit by TELNET, SNMP management or
TFTP via the download bandwidth allocation. Through in-band management,
some of the bandwidth of the main link between the local MX-2100 and the
remote MX-2100 is used to relay management information.
•
Channel data
•
Channel end-to-end signaling.
The following table provides bandwidth allocation information. The use of the
information presented in the table to calculate the bandwidth required for various
operating configurations is illustrated by a numerical example that follows the
table.
