ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) supports a 10-Gbps Full-Band Tunable Multirate
Transponder Card, which simplifies the integration and transport of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel,
and OC-192/STM-64 interfaces and services into enterprises or service provider optical networks (Figure 1).
Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP Release 9.1 extends the capabilities of this card with an enhanced-performance optical
trunk module, which implements an Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) mechanism based on the
Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE) algorithm to improve chromatic dispersion (CD) and
polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) robustness.

Background
Optical transport networks must support numerous service demands, from low-rate DS-1/T1, DS-3/E3,
10/100BASE-T, and OC-3/STM-1 to higher-rate OC-12/STM-4, Gigabit Ethernet, OC-48/STM-16, OC-192/STM-64,
and 10 Gigabit Ethernet services. In the recent past, SONET add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) provided the services
platform to aggregate and transport services up to OC-48/STM-16, whereas dense wavelength-division
multiplexing (DWDM) platforms were designed for optical signals from OC-3/STM-1 to OC-192/STM-64, including
Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Unfortunately, deploying multiple platforms (including DWDM and SONET ADMs)
to support multiple services is not cost-effective for many service provider and enterprise networks. The Cisco ONS
15454 MSTP, with transponder, muxponder, and Xponder cards, provides a more cost-effective networking
