Sub-2.5G OTN GFP Mapper

CN

The Precise-ITC 2.5G and lower rate (aka Sub-2.5G) GFP-F IP block performs G.7041 GFP processing on packet data at rates up to 2.5G/s. Typical applications include mapping Ethernet, MPLS or generic packet data into GFP-F frames for transmission over OTN or SONET/SDH.

Description

The GFP-F IP encapsulates/decapsulates client data to/from Generic Framing Procedure (GFP-F) based on ITU G.7041 Rec. It is fully software configurable.

In the source direction, the GFP-F wrapper encapsulates the client data frame/packet with the ITU G.7041 GFP-F framing structure. The client data is sent to the GFP-F wrapper from the client input bus and GFP framed client data is then sent to the line-side.

In the sink direction, the GFP-F wrapper decapsulates ITU G.7041 GFP-F frames into client data.
Table 1.  Typical clock rates required for some sample configurations/applications:

* Note : Clock rate should match the line-side data-rate/clock. Exact core frequencies depend on actual application.
