❖ SONET is a synchronous network. A single clock
is used to handle the timing of transmissions and
equipment across the network.
SONET PROVIDES :-
− Multiplexing.
− Error checking.
− Handling variations in clocks.
− Mapping of plesiochronous(nearly the same)voice
and data traffic.
− Signaling for automatic switching in case of a
fiber or node failure.
❖ SONET encodes bit streams into optical signals
propagated over optical fiber.
- All clocks in the network are locked to a common master
clock so that simple TDM can be used.
- Multiplexing done by byte interleaving.
-SONET defines a hierarchy of signaling levels called
synchronous Transport Signals (STS).
- Each STS level (STS-1 to STS-192) supports a certain
data rate, specified in megabits per second.
- The physical links defined to carry each level of
STS are called optical carriers (OCs).
ADVANTAGES OF SONET:
Regenerator:
-Function at the data link layer.Takes a received optical signal
and regenerates it.
