How to model OLP-based Transponder to Transponder Protection with intermediate regeneration?

[Moneyj0408150]

In TR547 v3.0, it asks to create multiple OTSiMC top-connections between the ROADM add/drop ports and the regenerator ports, which means in OLP-based protection there will have multiple 1A2Z OTSiMC top-connections. Is that correct?

We have some figures on this generated by Andrea. I thought figures had been added to the RIA, but I need to review. We can discuss the figures (either from Andrea's slides or from the RIA depending on what stage we got to) on a call to validate the expectation. I would be happy to lead the discussion. Perhaps we could add this to the agenda for a call in a couple of weeks from now. If the figures are not in the RIA, we should add them.

@bcjohnso99 I suggest we add this to the call on 25 Feb (which will hopefully make me look in detail :) ).

@nigel-r-davis to add an OTSiMC connection to the lower section of the protection scheme on slide 406 in RIASlides (https://github.com/Open-Network-Models-and-Interfaces-ONMI/TAPI-Activities/blob/main/ContributionsForDiscussions/onmi2024.AM.002_TAPI_RIASlides20062024.pptx).
.
The diagram can be considered for addition to the RIA in 2.7.

On the specific question raised, there are multiple OTSiMC top connections as per the diagram in the minutes 20250225.
