When the P reads these registers, it will read in the
number of parity-bit errors that have been detected by
the Receive DS3 Framer block, since the last time
these registers were read. These registers are reset
upon read.
NOTE: When the Framing with Parity option is selected, the
Receive DS3 Framer block will declared an OOF condition
if P-bit errors were detected in two out of 5 consecutive DS3
M-frames.
3.3.2.6.2 CP-Bit Checking/Options
CP-bits are very similar to P-bits except for the follow-
ing.
1. CP-bits are used to permit performance monitor-
ing over an entire DS3 path (e.g., from the source
terminal) through any number of mid-network ter-
minals to the sink terminal).
2. P-bits are used to permit performance monitoring
of a DS3 data stream, as it is transmitted from
one terminal to an adjacent terminal.
How CP-Bits are Processed
The following section describes how the CP-bits are
processed at three locations.
The Source Terminal Equipment
The Mid-Network Terminal Equipment
The Sink Terminal Equipment
Figure_62 presents a simple illustration of the loca-
tions of these three types of Terminal Equipment,
within the Wide-Area Network.
NOTE: The use of the terms Source and Sink Terminal
Equipment are used to simplify this discussion of CP-Bit
Processing. In reality, the Source Terminal Equipment (in
Figure_62) will also function as the Sink Terminal Equip-
ment (for DS3 traffic traveling in the opposite direction).
Likewise, the Sink Terminal Equipment (in Figure_62) will
also function as the Source Terminal Equipment.
