Abstract

A method may include provisioning: a first flow from a client-side port to a network-side port of the plug-in unit; a second flow from the network-side port to the client-side port; a third flow from the network-side port to a mate link configured to interface with a fourth flow from the mate link to a second client-side port of the second plug-in unit; a fifth flow from the mate link to the network-side port configured to interface with a sixth flow from the second client-side port to the mate link; a seventh flow from the client-side port to the mate link configured to interface with an eighth flow from the mate link to a second network-side port of the second plug-in unit; and a ninth flow from the mate link to the client-side port configured to interface with a tenth flow from the second network-side port to the mate link.
