2.12.6.3 ANSI to ITU SLS Conversion

The ANSI to ITU SLS Conversion enables a user to perform 5-bit or 8-bit ANSI to 4-bit ITU conversion.

For this conversion, the 5 or 8 bit ANSI SLS value is converted to 4-bit ITU SLS value by doing MOD 16. This conversion can further be followed by 4-bit ITU to 8-bit ITU SLS conversion in order to achieve more randomization for linkset or link selection during the network conversion as shown in the following figure:
