Link Layer Processor
  • Offers a highly integrated solution for multiservice applications such as wireline access network and 2.5G/3G and 4G/LTE wireless access
  • Optimizes applications for base stations and radio network controllers (BSC, RNC), packet transport networks, microwave backhaul, PON access networks, and access routers
  • Supports a variety of wireless protocols, including Abis, TC/IMA, and HDLC/ML-PPP

Features

  • Up to the full payload of a synchronous optical network (SONET) OC-3/STM-1 frame
  • Up to 16 LIU/bit serial interface ports
  • Internal framer support for up to 16 DS1/J1/E1 links, including subrate HDLC processing
  • Eight synchronous concentration highway interface (CHI) ports for direct TDM interface to time-slot interchanger (TSI) devices
  • ATM/packet protocol mapping over Ethernet
  • ATM protocol processing for TC/IMA
     — Support for any combination of up to 84 IMA groups 
          or UNI links with fractional support
     — From 1 to 32 links per IMA group
  • ML/MC-PPP packet processing
  • Multichannel high-level data link control (HDLC)
  • PWE3 support for CESoPSN and SAToP with Buffer Adaptive, Differential, and Synchronous Clocking
  • System interface block (SIB) that can connect to a data plane processor
  • 8-bit SPI-3 (system packet interface Level 3), 8-bit/16-bit UTOPIA Level 2, or 8-bit/16-bit POS-PHY Level 2, multi-PHY slave system interface

Benefits

  • Allows customers to easily migrate from traditional TDM networks to newer IP networks
  • LLP's full bidirectional data bandwidth can be used entirely by a single protocol path or can be simultaneously partitioned among the three protocol paths, allowing migration from circuit switching (TDM) to cell switching (ATM) to packet switching (IP) on a common platform
