METHOD AND PROCEDURES FOR AGGREGATION OF PHYSICAL LINKS BETWEEN A TRANSMITTING STATION AND A RECEIVING STATION

摘要

A method for determining the minimum realignment capability ” req necessary at a receiving station SRX for realigning a digital flow (F tx ) packaged at a transmitting station STX in containers of size ctnr size ,
and distributed on a set (N a ) of available physical links selected from among those belonging to a group comprising a plurality (N) of physical links (L i ) which connect the transmitting station (STX) and the receiving station (SRX) and to be combined in a single logic link between the two stations,
wherein a respective link transmission capacity C i and a respective link processing latency r i are associated with each available link (L i ), on the basis of which said minimum realignment capability necessary at the receiver is determined.
