Interconnected optical pluggables

Table with one row for each element of the type: 'Interconnected optical pluggables'.

Columns

Name Description
Connections The OTSIs or optical connections belonging to this connected component. An OTSI can belong to one P2P/P2MP arrangement, or to none (if end ports are not with pluggables)
P2MP: Leafs In P2MP arrangements: the leafs, i.e the pluggables connected to more exactly one other pluggable
Description A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element
Nominal capacity (Gbps) Gets the nominal capacity of the optical connections aggregation, in the case where all the pluggables have the same modulation and frequency for the multiplex
P2MP: Hubs In P2MP arrangements: the hub pluggables, i.e the pluggables connected to more than one other pluggable
Transceivers The transceivers in this connected component. A transceiver can only belong to one and only one P2P/P2MP arrangement of this type
Name A user-defined name (typically short) that can be assigned to this element
Used subcarriers In DSCM connections, indicates all the subcarriers used among all the OTSIs in this aggregation
Identifier A unique identifier set to the element, and never changed
# idle subcarriers Gets the number of idle subcarriers of the optical connections aggregation, in the case where all the pluggables have the same modulation and frequency for the multiplex
SC-Utilization (%) Gets the utilization in the multiplex, counted as the percentage of subcarriers used respect to the total nominal number, in the case where all the pluggables have the same modulation and frequency for the multiplex
External links Indicates if this element has one or more user-defined external URLs associated to it. If so, when the user clicks this cell, and selects the URL (if more than one), a navigator is launched and the URL page is shown. External links are not editable in the GUI, but via API.
Optical Signal Type The optical signal type of the OTSIs in this connection. There cannot be more than one, i.e. all the OTSIs should have the same, or else the optical signal is not correctly recognized
SC rate (Gbps) Gets the rate per subcarrier of the optical connections aggregation, in the case where all the pluggables have the same modulation and frequency for the multiplex
Idle subcarriers In DSCM connections, where OTSIs have a common optical signal type and multiplex frequency, but potentially different subcarriers, indicates all the idle subcarriers, not used in any OTSI of the multiplex
Nodes The node hosting this element.
Type The type of optical connections: P2P, P2MP
Bidi If the pluggable has in/out OTSIs, all are bidirectional
Optical links The optical links in the working paths of the OTSIs in this aggrupation
Frequency (Mhz) The frequency to which the OTSIs are tuned (represented by the lowest frequency in MHz). There cannot be more than one, i.e. all the OTSIs should have the same, or else the optical signal is not correctly recognized
Clashed subcarriers In DSCM connections, indicates all the subcarriers that have clashing in this aggrupation: this means that the same subcarrier in differnt OTSIs traverses the same optical link. In non-DSCM, clasihng is also detected
DSCM The type of optical connections, respect to the use of DSCM (Digital Subcarrier Multiplexing)
Nominal # subcarriers Gets the nominal number of subcarriers of the optical connections aggregation, in the case where all the pluggables have the same modulation and frequency for the multiplex
Idle SC indexes Gets the list of of idle subcarriers of the optical connections aggregation, in the case where all the pluggables have the same modulation and frequency for the multiplex
IP traffic (Gbps) The total amount of IP traffic in Gbps, currently carried, aggregating all the OTSIs in the arrangement (in bidirectional cases, both directions are summed)

Connectivity Transceivers, Nodes, Connections, OpticalLinks, Bidi, Type, P2mp:Hubs, P2mp:Leafs Columns associated to the element related paths, links, neighbor nodes and alike
Description & tags & attributes Name, Identifier, Description, ExternalLinks, Nodes Columns associated to side information like element names, descriptions, user associated tags or attributes
KPIs Nodes, NominalCapacity(gbps), Nominal#Subcarriers, #IdleSubcarriers, IdleScIndexes, Sc-utilization(%), ScRate(gbps), IpTraffic(gbps) Columns associated to traffic-related KPIs of the multicast flows
Default view Transceivers, Nodes, Frequency(mhz), Bidi, Dscm, Type, P2mp:Hubs, NominalCapacity(gbps), Nominal#Subcarriers, Sc-utilization(%), IpTraffic(gbps) This table view corresponds to a subset of columns selected as representative for a default table view. They typically include the most typical required values
