Method and device for transporting ethernet frames over a transport SDH/SONET network

摘要

Disclosed is a method and network element for transporting Ethernet frames over a transport SDH/SONET network. at the sending point (AP#0), receiving a Ethernet frames to be transported through an Access Point (AP#0); mapping the Ethernet frames into a single Virtual Container (VC-X #) so that the transport of an Ethernet frame is performed by a single Virtual Container (VC); assigning a label/number to every frame; and at the receiving point (AP#1), reordering (FR) the received frames according to the assigned sequence label/number and outputting them through an Access Point (AP#1).
