- FOREWORD
-
- The CCITT (the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative
- Committee) is the permanent organ of the International Telecommu-
- nication Union (ITU). CCITT is responsible for studying technical,
- operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them
- with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide
- basis.
-
- The Plenary Assembly of CCITT which meets every four years,
- establishes the topics for study and approves Recommendations pre-
- pared by its Study Groups. The approval of Recommendations by the
- members of CCITT between Plenary Assemblies is covered by the
- procedure laid down in CCITT Resolution No. 2 (Melbourne, 1988).
-
- Recommendation G.781 was prepared by Study Group XV and was
- approved under the Resolution No. 2 procedure on the 14 of December
- 1990.

-
- STRUCTURE OF RECOMMENDATIONS ON MULTIPLEXING
- EQUIPMENT FOR THE SYNCHRONOUS DIGITAL HIERARCHY
- (SDH)
-
- 1 General
-
- Recommendations G.707, G.708 and G.709 provide details of the bit
- rate, format, multiplexing structure and payload mappings for the Synchro-
- nous Digital Hierarchy (SDH).
-
- Recommendations giving the characteristics of multiplexing equip-
- ment for the SDH are structured to take into consideration the following:
-
- i) in order not to constrain equipment design, there is a need to
- describe equipment characteristics in terms of functions in such a
- way as to avoid specifying particular implementations of those
- functions;
-
- ii) multiplexing equipment functionality can be usefully partitioned
- into a number of areas and the Recommendation structure reflects
- this partitioning;
-
- iii) some functions specified for multiplexing equipment may also be
- applicable to Recommendations on other SDH equipments and
- these latter Recommendations may make reference to Recommen-
- dations on multiplexing equipment, thus avoiding duplication of
- text and ensuring consistency of specification over a number of
- different equipments.
-
- 2 Structure of Recommendations
-
- Taking into account the above points, the structure of Recommenda-
- tions for synchronous multiplexing equipment is as follows:
-
- ù G.781 Structure of Recommendations on multiplexing equipment
- for the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)
-
- ù G.782 Types and general characteristics of Synchronous Digital
- Hierarchy (SDH) multiplexing equipment
-
- ù G.783 Characteristics of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)
- multiplexing equipment functional blocks
-
- ù G.784 Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) management
-
- 3 Options
-
- Information and guidance on optional features contained in SDH Rec-
- ommendations is given in the AnnexA.
-
- ANNEX A
-
- (to Recommendation G.781)
-
- Considerations relating to the selection of optional features
-
- The Recommendations on SDH (G.707, G.708, G.709, G.781, G.782,
- G.783, G.784, G.957, G.958) provide a foundation towards ensuring a high
- degree of harmonization, and therefore inter-operability potential, between
- different practical implementations of the functions described in the Recom-
- mendations. However, it is important to note that the Recommendations
- contain a number of optional features, some of which are important to con-
- sider carefully in order to ensure inter-operability.
-
- In selecting a consistent set of optional features, the following situations
- will need to be taken into account:
-
- ù single network operator's domain, even when using a single suppli-
- er's implementation of SDHequipment;
-
- ù single network operator's domain, when using multiple suppliers'
- implementations;
-
- ù inter-operation between different network operators' domains.
-
- In the detailed design, implementation and operation of their net-
- works, it is important that network operators make appropriate selections of
- optional features, and reach an understanding with their equipment suppliers
- and with other network operators to ensure that an appropriate level of inter-
- operability is achieved.
-
- In terms of suppliers, it will be essentially a commercial judgement
- whether they choose to offer a particular option. In order to limit the number
- of variations, when an optional feature is provided, it should be in accor-
- dance with the recommended approach.
