Description
The GEOS-2+2 is designed to multiplex 2 channels of gigabit Ethernet traffic and 2 channels of fast Ethernet traffic into a single port 2.5 Gbps OC-48 SONET Framer using frame-mapped GFP.
There are three main sub-modules for the GEOS-2+2 core:
- ESMUX module multiplexes packets in the ingress (Ethernet-to-SONET) direction
- SEDEMUX module de-multiplexes packets in the egress (SONET-to-Ethernet) direction
- CPU interface module that connects up to an external CPU
The ESMUX multiplexes 2 GE with 2 fast Ethernet ports into one 2.5 Gbps SONET port. Jumbo packets are not supported by the GEOS-2+2. Each first-in, first-out (FIFO) channel is connected to one particular Atlantic interface from the PL3 core. A GFP header is attached to packets and sent to the PL3 core and then to the SONET framer. The GFP header contains various fields, such as destination port identification.
Packets received by the SEDEMUX from the SONET framer include a GFP header that contains a destination port. The GFP header is removed and the resulting packet is routed to the appropriate destination port
