Cisco PA-A6-OC3SML 1 Port Enh ATM OC3c/STM1 Singlemode(LR)

This Cisco PA-A6-OC3SML ATM Port Adapter supports advanced ATM hardware features such as per-virtual circuit and per-virtual path traffic shaping, and all ATM service classes such as real-time variable bit rate (VBR-rt), constant bit rate (CBR), non-real-time variable bit rate (VBR-nrt), available bit rate (ABR), and unspecified bit rate (UBR). The Cisco ATM Port Adapter also supports 8191 ATM virtual circuits.

The Cisco PA-A6-OC3SML ATM Port Adapter can be used for:

• Broadband subscriber access aggregation

• High-speed customer premises equipment (CPE) WAN link

• High-speed WAN uplink

• High-speed enterprise backbone

Main Feature Summary

The Cisco PA-A6-OC3SMLATM Port Adapter combines high performance and a wide array of new ATM features that are ideal for both enterprise WAN and service provider backbone applications:

• Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 2684 (updated RFC 1483) support for multiple protocol encapsulations over ATM

• IETF RFCs 2364 and 2516 for PPP over ATM (PPPoA)

• IETF RFC 1577 support for classical IP and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) over ATM

• Support for 8191 virtual circuits

• ATM service classes: UBR, VBR-nrt, ABR, CBR, and VBR-rt (support at command-line interface [CLI])

• ATM Forum User-Network Interface (UNI) 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0

• Supports ATM Adaption Layer 5 (AAL5) for data services

• Supports AAL2 for voice services (Cisco 7200 with OC-3/STM-1, DS3, and E3 interfaces only)

• Layer 2 per-virtual circuit and per-virtual path queuing and traffic shaping

• ATM permanent virtual connections (PVCs) and switched virtual connections (SVCs)

• LANE 2.0 client and server

• F4 and F5 operations and maintenance (OAM) cell support

• Multiprotocol over ATM (MPoA) client and server

• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), MPLS traffic engineering, MPLS virtual private network (VPN), MPLS CoS

• Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI)

Extended Virtual-Connection Capabilities

The Cisco PA-A6-OC3SML ATM Port Adapter supports up to 8192 virtual connections. Numerous variations of configurations of virtual circuit and virtual path can be supported up to a maximum number of 8191 virtual circuit/virtual path combinations. These virtual circuits can be either PVCs that are created manually or SVCs created through point-to-point and point-to-multipoint UNI signaling.

The Cisco PA-A6-OC3SML ATM Port Adapter supports traffic shaping on a per-virtual circuit basis and per-virtual path basis. Supporting traffic shaping in hardware means that there is no performance degradation when shaping is enabled. Providing traffic shaping on a per-virtual circuit and per-virtual path basis allows flexibility and control over every virtual circuit and virtual path configured. Depending on the selected ATM service class, the Cisco ATM Port Adapter supports highly configurable parameters such as peak cell rate (PCR), sustainable cell rate (SCR), maximum burst size (MBS), and minimum cell rate (MCR). These parameters can be defined based on the specific bandwidth requirements of an individual virtual circuit, as needed for a specific application. The Cisco PA-A6-OC3SML ATM Port Adapter hardware shapes the virtual circuit to the specific parameters using a wheel-based scheduling algorithm to ensure fairness across the ATM interface. If two cells compete for the same time slot, the virtual circuits, by default, are prioritized in the following order (starting with highest priority):
