Alarm BW
Worst case for alarm burst will be a performance
degradation to a hop that will impact all
southbound hops in the cluster.
Maximum required BW from a cluster to
the OMC can be estimated by the following formula:
Alarm BW [b/s] =
(n +(m x 4)) x o x p
t
where:
n = number of affected E1
m = number of affected radio hops
o = factor for lossed alarms (01)
p = alarm payload (365Byte = 2920bit)
t = duration of alarm peak (10sec or more)

EOW
Engineer order wire, Service telephone
In IP based DCN the EOW is realized with VoIP over regular DCN channels.
The service is generally not critical for BW but is a real time critical service
and puts thereby restrictions to other simultaneous sessions (SW download).
EOW BW : n x 20 kbit/s (per direction)
where n = number of simultaneous EOW calls
over the IP segment.
