Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS)
Approved generic protocol (ITU-T G.7042/Y.1305)
Defined independently of SDH, SONET or G.709
Works in combination with virtual concatenation
LCAS specification has two components
An end-to-end signaling part (with messages)
Mechanisms enhance Virtual Concatenation to achieve hitless bandwidth modification
LCAS currently defined for TDM networks
SDH/Sonet (G.707) and G.709 OTH
LCAS is the best solution for hitless bandwidth modification
