Table 1-3 Supported business types

Perfect QoS mechanism.

CiTRANS 690E series products provide hierarchical end-to-end QoS administration, and can provide differentiated and refined transmission services based on flow for each user group, each user, and each user business at different levels.

• Support DiffServ mode based on traffic classification, completely realize PHB defined in the standard, enable network operators to provide users with service guarantee at different quality service levels, and realize an integrated network carrying data, voice and video services

• Provide end-to-end QoS for services

       · The device supports HQoS mechanism to control the total bandwidth of a single service type, a single service access point, multiple service access points, a single service or multiple services respectively

       · The device supports TE mechanism on the network side to balance network traffic and ensure service quality

QoS can not increase bandwidth, but it can minimize network delay and jitter and ensure the quality of key services through reasonable allocation and monitoring of network resources

Efficient carrying technology

CiTRANS 690E series products use tunnels to carry all kinds of services, make full use of network resources to realize the efficient transmission of all kinds of services.

Precise synchronization

CiTRANS 690E series products support various clock / time synchronization functions, providing precise clock / time synchronization for services with synchronization requirements to ensure lossless transmission of services.

Clock synchronization capability

Physical layer clock synchronization mechanism is a technology that extracts clock information from the signals of physical channels of transmission links to complete frequency synchronization. Ethernet synchronization is a kind of Ethernet physical layer clock synchronization technology, which directly extracts the clock from the serial code traffic on the Ethernet line and use the clock to send data to realize clock synchronization.

CiTRANS 690E series products supports the recovery of clock information from the following transmission links:

• Support 64-channel Ethernet synchronization interface to recover clock

• Support 2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz external timing input and 2048kbit/s or 2048kHz external timing output clock

CiTRANS 690E series products support three clock modes: tracking, holding and free oscillation to process and transmit SSM.

       Support OC and BC clock models.

• MTN interface synchronization

       Support MTN port to process the message defined by PTP protocol. The message format, processing, clock model, OAM, synchronization precision, etc. of PTP protocol are the same as those of traditional Ethernet interface;

       Support carrying PTP messages through MTNGroup link layer overhead;
