Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet over UDP
Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP) encapsulates time division multiplexing (TDM) bit-streams
(T1, E1, T3, E3) as PWs over public switched networks. It disregards any structure that may be imposed on
streams, in particular the structure imposed by the standard TDM framing.
The protocol used for emulation of these services does not depend on the method in which attachment circuits
are delivered to the provider edge (PE) devices. For example, a T1 attachment circuit is treated the same way
for all delivery methods, including copper, multiplex in a T3 circuit, a virtual tributary of a SONET/SDH
circuit, or unstructured Circuit Emulation Service (CES).
In SAToP mode the interface is considered as a continuous framed bit stream. The packetization of the stream
is done according to IETF RFC 4553. All signaling is carried out transparently as a part of a bit stream. The
following figure shows the frame format in Unstructured SAToP mode.
