Re: SDH Fiber Problem

[jacob miller <mmzinyi () yahoo com>]

The entire link is an STM4 that has been channelised.
We are using 3xSTM1 for the EoS service.
The VCG group is configured with 3xSTM1.

How much traffic are you trying to pass over the link?
How big is the underlying VCAT? Is it possible that this is 
misconfigured does not have enough bandwidth?
Depending on the underlying EoSONET/EoSDH bandwidth, you might need to 
pace traffic into the ADM to avoid overrunning buffers.
