Generic Framing Procedure - GFP
End-end service framing, PM & SP OAM, demarc
Virtual concatenation (VC-n-mv)
End-end bandwidth efficiency, QoS, transparency & path OAM
SDH/SONET wrapping (S-wrap)
Global network compatibility, security, reliability, carrier OAM
Simple multiservice adaptation
Robust & efficient packet transport
Interoperable global standard
- Mapping to SDH, SONET & OTN
Efficient network resource utilisation
- Low GFP overhead
- No over-provisioning with virtual SDH
TDM QoS, latency & jitter performance
- Transparent mode has no buffering
L2 agnostic
- Supports RPR, other L2 protocols
Enables network consolidation
- Converges next-generation services with existing infrastructure investment
