Transparent SONET or SDH over Packet (TSoP)
Protocol
Transparent SONET or SDH over Packet (TSoP) Protocol is not supported on the Cisco ASR 900 RSP3
Note
module.
The Transparent SONET or SDH over Packet (TSoP) protocol converts SONET or SDH TDM traffic to a
packet stream. Operators can now transport SONET or SDH traffic across a packet network by simply adding
the TSoP Smart SFP to any router or packet switch. With TSoP the SONET or SDH signal is forwarded
transparently, maintaining its embedded payload structure, protection protocols and synchronization. This
simplifies the configuration and service turn-up of SONET or SDH connections across the packet network.

Prerequisites for TSoP
• Single mode optical fiber must be used to connect TSoP Smart SFP with the OC-3 port.
• The TSoP smart SFP pseudowire endpoints must use the same configuration parameters.
Restrictions for TSoP
• The TSoP smart SFP payload size is not configurable. The byte size is fixed at 810 bytes.
• The router cannot be synced with the TSoP Smart SFP clock.
