Abstract:
A method is presented for supporting SNCP over a packet network connecting to two SDH sub-networks and transporting one or more SDH paths that are SNCP-protected in both SDH sub-networks. The packet network connects to each of two sub-network interconnection points by a working path and a protection path. The packet sub-network may provide the same type of path protection as an SDH sub-network using SNCP, while avoiding bandwidth duplication.

Claim (Index 23):
The first device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first network consists of, or comprises, a Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) or a Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), and wherein the first and second devices are termination equipment that are respectively part of path protection that is according to, based on, or compatible with, Sub-Network Connection Protocol (SNCP) or Unidirectional Path Switched Ring (UPSR).
