  3. Leased Line Service Rates • T1 • Channelized T1: 24 × DS0 (64k bps) • unchannelized T1: 1.544MP bps • Fractional T1 (n × 64 kbps) • physical facility: same as T1 (4-wire copper) • STS-1/DS3 (45M bps) • physical facility: DS3X coax (in-building) • physical facility: fiber (out-building) • Fractional DS3 (n x T1) • SONET OC-3 (155M bps) – fiber facility • SONET OC-12 (622M bps) - OC-?? • Dark Fiber

  4. T-Carrier Systems

  5. T-1 Frame Format Each DS0 called a time slot 8000 frames/sec * 8 bits/slot = 64 Kbps 24 * 8 + 1 = 193 bits/frame 8000 frames/sec * 193 bits/frame = 1.544 Mbps 8000 Framing bits sent per second

  6. Channelized? • Channelized T-1 Circuit • T-1 is utilized as 24 DS0 channels of 64 Kbps each. • Each DS0 can be allocated to carry any single service, such as CO trunk, DID trunk, WATS, FX, 56K data, switched 56K, etc. • Unchannelized T-1 • T-1 is utilized as a single 1.536 Mbps data circuit.

  8. Signaling • The basic purpose of signaling is to determine the status and control of each 64 Kbps channel. There are two basic types: • In-band • Out-of-band • T1 systems originally provided for signaling using: • In-Band Robbed-Bit Signaling Source: KnowledgeLink, Inc.

  9. 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 Bit Robbing Bit robbing “steals” the least significant bit for signaling transport Least Significant Bit Value is determined by Signaling, NOT Channel Sample 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 Source: KnowledgeLink, Inc.

  10. T-1 Framing Bits • D4 T-1 lines (1972): • Allow receiver to find the start-of-frame (frame synchronization). • Group sets of 12 frames into superframes • Indicate that frames 6 and 12 contain signaling bits (to specify if channel is in use or not) • D5 (ESF) T-1 lines (1983): • Provide error checking (CRC) (ESF T1) • Provide Facilities Data Link channel to transmit network management messages (ESF T1)

  11. T-1 Super Frame (SF)(AB Signal) 6th frame 12 frames = 1 SF 12th frame Figure 15.8

  12. T1 Extended Super Frame (ESF)(ABCD Signal) 24 frames = 1 ESF Figure 15.9 S: Synchronization (001011) C: error detection F: Facility Data Link control

  13. DS1 Line Coding - placing 1’s and 0’s • AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion) • AMI sends zero volts for a "0" (space) and alternately sends +V and -V volts for a "1" (mark). Doesn’t guarantee 0’s density so it is susceptible to clock drift since clock is imbedded in data. • General Requirements: 12.5% 1’s and no more than 15 consecutive 0’s • B8ZS (Binary 8 Zero Substitution) • Replaces 8 consecutive 0s with 000VB0VB (bi-polar violation)

  14. AMI and B8ZS Signal 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Sender T1 sent T1 recv Receiver Figure 15.6

  15. Data over T-1 • A T-1 carries 24 DS0 channels • Each DS0 may carry a maximum of 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps of data • A restricted T-1 carries 24 x 56 Kbps = 1.344 Mbps. • A clear-channel T-1 carries 24 x 64 Kbps = 1.536 Mbps. • How do you make sure that you get a clear-channel T1? ASK about it!!

  16. Summary - T1 Configuration • Line Coding • AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion) Coding is the older standard and only allows restricted T1 data service (i.e. 56 Kbps per DS0) • B8ZS (Binary 8-Zero Substitution) Coding allows clear-channel service. • Signaling • Robbed Bit Signaling is the older method and only allows restricted service. • No signaling (i.e. leased line) or Common Channel Signaling (CCS) or Signaling System 7 (SS7) allows clear-channel service. • Framing • D4 or SuperFrame (SF) Framing is the older standard and does not allow error detection or automatic failover services from carrier. • Extended SuperFrame (ESF) Framing allows carrier to automatically detect errors and to perform failover to good circuit when errors occur.

  17. The E-1 Interface Similar to T-1, used outside North America The E-1 interface provides a 2,048 kbit/s access rate. It can support up to 32 channels (64 Kbps DS0). “Framed E1” supports 30 voice channels Unchannelized E1 gives you the full 2.048 Mbps.

  18. E1 Frame TS0 is dedicated for synchronization, alarms, control messages, and future extensions. TS16 is usually used for signaling. It is known as Clear Channel Signaling, an example of out of band signaling. TS0 and TS16 can carry data as well (unchannelized E1) TS1-TS15 and TS17-TS31 are used for carrying user data.

  25. Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) ADM = Add-Drop Multiplexer SONET Ring pass frame add frame to the ring drop frame out of the ring

  26. SONET Overview • Synchronous Optical NETwork standards developed by Bellcore. • Advantages: • transmission standards for optical networks allows “mid-span meet” between different equipment (vendor interoperability!) • Synchronous multiplexing allows add-drop multiplexing of any low speed signal into any high speed signal (to fully appreciate this advantage, consider the activities a multiplexer must perform to add-drop a T1 to/from a T3 signal). • Operations and Maintenance capabilities greatly improved over previous systems • Deployment began in the late 80’s and significantly increased each year. • International equivalent to SONET is known as the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) standards developed by the ITU.

  29. STS-1 Frame Format

  30. STS-1 Frame 8,000 frames/second Each frame: 90 col × 9 rows = 810 bytes Payload: 86 col × 9 rows = 774 bytes Each byte of payload can be allocated as a separate 64 Kbps customer channel STS-1 frame can support up to 774 standard DS0 channels (digital voice or 64 Kbps data). Transmission Rate (raw): 51.84M bps Transmission Rate (payload): 49.54M bps

  31. Virtual Tributaries SPE (payload) = 7 VT Groups + packing bytes One VT Group = 12 columns Each VT Group is split into multiple VTs of the same type Either 4 x VT1.5 or 3 x VT2 or 2 x VT3 or 1 x VT6
