Delivering PDH service using circuit emulation over packet (CEP) standard technology enables 4006 VC-12 services in 10GE compared to 4032 services in STM-64, and 187 VC-3 services in 10GE compared to 192 services in STM-64
The need for circuit emulation: gradual replacement of PDH with Ethernet services
Low rate PDH services such as E1 and VC-12 are widely used by mobile networks to deliver voice, and are used by enterprises to privately connect remote sites. Similar usage is done with higher rate PDH services such as E3 and VC-3. Ethernet services, however, are capable of delivering the same QoS, levels of reliability and availability for a significantly larger bandwidth at substantially lower prices. Therefore, it is in the best interest of both the subscriber and service provider to gradually replace PDH with Ethernet services.
Number of PDH services when using circuit emulation in high capacity networks
The following example calculates the number of VC-12 and VC-3 services that are delivered in a 10GE tunnel using circuit emulation technology. Native PDH is the reference: 192 VC-3 or 4032 VC-12 services in a STM-64 tunnel. As shown in figure #2, the encapsulation overhead becomes negligible and 187 VC-3 or 4006 VC-12 services are delivered in a 10GE tunnel.
