Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port Channelized
T3 to DS0 Optical Services Module
Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port Channelized T3 (CT3) to DS0 Optical Services Modules (OSMs) for channelized services enable the rapid, efficient addition of circuits within existing electrical connections. When a channelized circuit is established, all channels from DS3 to DS0 can be remotely provisioned, eliminating the need for the multiplexer line-card installations that are normally required to increase the available number of electrical circuits.

Coupled with numerous interfaces and native edge-aggregation services such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Quality-of-Service (QoS), the Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port CT3 to DS0 OSM meets aggregation site connectivity requirements. Using channelized interfaces to receive multiplexed T1/E1 circuits on a single pair of optical fibers, service providers and large enterprises can save dramatically on power, floor space, local-loop charges, and equipment costs.
The Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port CT3 to DS0 OSM can accept both clear-channel T3 traffic and multiplexed circuits from T1/E1 and DS0. Service features include support for IP and MPLS traffic, Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), Low-Latency Queuing (LLQ), and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED). Also included is support for hardware-enabled Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP), capable of up to 168 T1/E1 bundles supporting up to 12 T1/E1 links per bundle. With this combination of features and performance, Cisco provides a versatile electrical interface for the easy upgrade to the advanced network architectures provided by Cisco 7600 Series routers.
Service provider points of presence (POPs) and enterprise headend locations can use the Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port CT3 to DS0 OSM to enable rapid, efficient addition of circuits where density and performance are required. In topologies where wideband optical tributaries are not an option, the Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port CT3 to DS0 OSM is ideal for consolidation of circuits from multiple transport systems and facilitates rapid circuit cutover without having to rearrange tributaries within existing multiplexers.
The Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port CT3 to DS0 OSM is ideal for several applications, including:
- Service provider edge offices or data centers aggregating circuits from multiple customer sites and locations
- Enterprises requiring bandwidth expansions (onsite multiplexers can be eliminated by directly receiving delivery of the "optical pipe")
The Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port CT3 to DS0 OSM can efficiently aggregate several DS0, T1/E1, and DS3 circuits into a service provider POP or enterprise headend (Figure 2).

Table 1 describes the features provided in the Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port T3 to DS0 OSM.
Table 1 Cisco 7600 Series 12-Port T3 to DS0 OSM Features
| Feature |
Benefit |
| Encapsulations |
Offers PPP, Frame Relay, and Cisco High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC).
|
| MLPPP |
Provides hardware-enabled MLPPP with up to 168 bundles and 12 T1/E1 links per bundle. QoS features such as CBWFQ and LLQ can also be applied over an MLPPP bundle.
|
| Channel support |
Supports up to 1023 channels per OSM with per-port selection of T3, nxT1, E1, or nxDS0 (see mapping section for more details).
|
| CBWFQ |
Implements CBWFQ using the Cisco Modular QoS command-line interface (CLI) (Cisco MQC) framework. CBWFQ manages link congestion by guaranteeing minimum bandwidth to predetermined traffic classes while fairly serving other classes of traffic in the network. CBWFQ on the CT3 can be implemented on logical interfaces, including nxDS0, nxT1/E1, and T3/E3.
|
| LLQ |
Implements LLQ using the Cisco MQC framework. LLQ manages link congestion by guaranteeing minimum bandwidth, giving highest priority to predetermined traffic classes while fairly serving other classes of traffic in the network. LLQ on the CT3 can be implemented on logical interfaces, including nxDS0, nxT1/E1, and T3/E3.
|
| WRED |
Implements WRED using the Cisco MQC framework. The WRED algorithm provides congestion avoidance on network interfaces by providing buffer management, and by allowing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic to throttle back before buffers are exhausted. This helps avoid tail drops and global synchronization issues, maximizing network usage and TCP-based application performance. WRED can be implemented on logical interfaces, including nxDS0, T1/E1, T3/E3, and OC-3/STM-1.
|
| MPLS |
Plays several critical roles as an edge device, as a label-edge router for pure MPLS-based networks, and as a provider-edge device for MPLS virtual private networks (MPLS VPNs). The Cisco 7600 Series supports RFC-2547 and RFC-254-bis-based MPLS VPNs.
|
| 1023 virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances per chassis for MPLS VPN Layer 3 applications |
Provides increased service density for MPLS/VPN services.
|
| Upgradable programmed feature sets using the Cisco Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF) network processor |
Offers greater flexibility to support new features through software upgrades, while delivering performance similar to application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)-based designs.
|
| Future support for Layer 2 network services |
Provides network architectures based on Frame Relay and ATM over MPLS (Internet access and RFC 2547 VPNs).
|
| 256 MB direct memory access (DMA) |
Supports larger traffic shaping queues. Enhanced OSMs support a minimum of 8000 QoS queues per Cisco PXF network processor.
|
| Rapid provisioning and cutover of T3 circuits |
Provides a dense, high-performance solution for T3 connectivity.
|
| Reduced power consumption |
Aggregates circuit terminations onto a single line card.
|
| Compatible with Cisco 7600 Series and Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series chassis |
Offers flexibility and investment protection for customers with an installed base of either chassis.
