For example, the widely-implemented Trail
SNCP 1+1 unidirectional protection
scheme requires the simultaneous

A novel approach to BW Efficiency
• In the event of a failure, the system reverts back to standard SNCP and the
unused capacity is re-allocated for TDM transmission

• Each end-point may send an RDI signal along each path (primary and
secondary) to the other end point

ABR SNCP Operation: Logics
2 of 4
Logic determines in which cases traffic can or cannot be sent through one of
the paths:
• Under normal conditions, TDM traffic is sent only through the primary path
• In order to make proper use of the freed capacity, it is necessary for the Ethernet
traffic to use the same path in both directions
• For this reason, any failure in the primary path will cause both sides to revert to
the normal mode of operation (sending traffic through both paths). Traffic will
return to the primary path after the failure condition has been cleared (the
mechanism is revertive)
• In order to prevent jittering of the path and unnecessary traffic switches in case of
intermittent primary path failures, there is a revertive timer. This timer determines
the amount of time require after no failure is detected in the primary path before
ceasing traffic transmission through the secondary path

ABR SNCP Operation: Auto BW Release
3 of 4
• Whenever valid TDM traffic is not available at the radio interface for transmission,
its bandwidth is automatically re-allocated for Ethernet traffic
• This is relevant not only for ABR trails, but for all TDM traffic. In other words,
bandwidth is freed up whenever there is no information to transmit. This may
occur in the following circumstances:
1. A failure has occurred which interrupts TDM traffic in a certain trail. This
may take place in a radio link or an internal connection
2. No valid TDM input (E1/DS1 signal) is received at the end-point
3. AIS signal is detected at the input (if AIS detection feature is enabled)

ABR Configuration
ABR SNCP Configuration
ABR trails are configured exactly in the same way as normal SNCP trails and
are subject to the same validations. This is because in the worst-case (failure
condition) ABR trails behave like normal SNCP trails, occupying bandwidth in
both paths.
The following are extra configuration and behavior exclusive for ABR trails:

ABR SNCP User Indications
• For SNCP trails, status is always given for primary and secondary paths
• For ABR trails, status is given for paths which are currently transmitting; with no
failure conditions this means the primary path only.
• PMs are collected as follows:
1. Primary is active – No PM counted on secondary.
2. Secondary is active (due to primary failure or force to standby)– PM
counted on primary and on secondary.
