Abstract
This document describes Automatic Switch-address Assignment Protocol (ASAP) option for SSP (switch-switch protocol) of MAPOS (Multiple Access Protocol Over SONET/SDH). It enables each switch in a MAPOS network to decide its unique MAPOS address in coordination with other switches and provides an environment free of manual configuration. Upon an address collision, an arbitration takes place to resolve the conflict.
