<strong>Test</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Optical</strong> <strong>Grooming</strong> <strong>Switches</strong><br />
Interfaces and interconnects.<br />
It is assumed that SONET/SDH interfaces will be used to interconnect the switches. The same<br />
interface may have different reach optics available in order to provide either:<br />
• Direct switch interconnection.<br />
• Switch interconnection via a line system.<br />
• Connection to data ingress.<br />
Within an operators network VSR 10-Gbit/s serial transponder interfaces may be used <strong>for</strong><br />
direct interface between co-located switches or interconnect to line equipment with VSR<br />
interfaces. Intrusive testing of any VSR link will not be made during these tests although<br />
functional testing over switch interconnects using VSR 10-Gbit/s serial transponder interfaces<br />
would be included.<br />
