Multipoint Network Topologies
Regular Multipoint
Scope
In Regular Multipoint topology (example shown in
), up to 8 channels can be created
across the network. This means that up to 16 access-equipment units (e.g., LANs, PCs, etc.) can
be interconnected with this network topology – two per channel. Note that all channels run from
the Branch Office (BO) LDx00s to the Central Office (CO) LDx00, i.e., no channels exist between
the BOs.
Optimally, a Mux and a Demux module are installed at the CO while OADMs are installed at the
BO LDx00s.
