METHOD FOR MAPPING GENERIC CLIENT SIGNALS INTO A GENERIC FRAMING PROCEDURE (GFP) PATH

摘要

10 bit words from a client are packed into 64B/65B blocks such that at least some of the blocks have data containing only a portion of at least some of the 10 bit words. The 64B/65B blocks are combined into groups of eight to form superblocks. The superblocks are combined in multiples of five to form a Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) frame such that the GFP frame contains an integer number of complete 10 bit words with no partial 10-bit words.
