Establishes Telcordia's view of generic technical requirements and aims for asynchronous multiplexes operating at DS1C (3.152 Mbps), DS2 (6.312 Mbps), and/or DS3 (44.736 Mbps) digital rates. The purpose of this document is to identify features, functions, and interface arrangements for asynchronous multiplexes that, in Telcodia's view, are necessary to meet the typical needs of a service provider.
