Numerics
1:1 protection
An electrical card protection scheme that pairs a working card with a protect card of the same type in an adjacent slot (DS-1
and DS-3 speeds). If the working card fails, the traffic from the working card switches to the protect card. When the failure on
the working card is resolved, traffic reverts to the working card.
1+1 protection
An optical (OC-N) card protection scheme that pairs a single working port/card with a single dedicated protect port/card. All
OC-N cards can use this protection type (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, and OC-192 speeds).
1:N protection
An electrical card protection scheme that allows a single protect card to provide protection for several working cards (DS-1
and DS-3 speeds). If a working card fails, the traffic from the working card switches to the protect card.When the failure on
the working card is resolved, traffic reverts to the working card.
