3.23 Subrate Features
• Independent per port built-in support for subrate DS3 or E3
• Independent subrate operation for both Rx and Tx data paths
• Subrate operation for each channel is totally independent from the other channels’ operation, i.e. all
subrate functions within the device are mutually exclusive
• Three distinct subrate algorithms:
• (FFRAC) Externally controlled with DS3 or E3 payload manipulating capability
• (XFRAC) Externally controlled with simple DS3 or E3 data rate reduction capability
• (IFRAC) Internally controlled with flexible DS3 or E3 data rate reduction capability
• Subrate algorithm selection is on per port basis
• Internal subrate mechanism allows down to bit-level granularity of the DS3 or E3 payload
