Fnc and fnc customer use only guide to sonet fnc500500041 issue 4, rev. Synchronous optical network sonet sonoma state university. Synchronous digital hierarchy sdh definition synchronous digital hierarchy sdh and synchronous optical network sonet refer to a group of fiberoptic transmission rates that can transport digital signals with different capacities. Sonet and sdh, but for simplicity only sonet terminology is used. Pdf todays common and extensively used mac layers are sonet and ethernet. Each sts1 frame is divided into exactly seven virtual tributary groups vtg. To transport payloads requiring less capacity than a ds3 signal, the 783byte spe is divided into seven virtual tributary vt groups of 12 columns each. However, it is frequently desirable to address much smaller portions of bandwidth.
To meet this need, substs1 facilities called virtual tributaries have been defined. Chapter 2 sonet transport rates and formats vt structure signals with bit rates less than ds3 at 45 mbs can be carried in the ons 15454 by mapping these lower rate signals into sections of an sts1 frame. Virtual tributaries are speeds less than the sts1 rate. Prior to sonet, digital transmission systems were generally. Sonet aggregation and te carrier applications group. However, sonet and sdh use different terminology, which makes. Once you understand sonet, its easier to understand sdh. Hi, someone please help me understand, in the sonetsdh virtual tributary mapping context, klm numbers are used to describe e1 positions. Sonetsdh virtual tributary mapping to use klm mode. They serve different networks and are incompatible. Substs1 signal is called virtual tributary vt in sonet.
Sts1 payloads that travel across the path endtoend. When the spe is used to transport vt virtual tributary signals, vt overhead is present in addition to the sts overhead. These sections are each called a virtual tributary vt. Introduction to sonet sonet synchronous optical network is a standard for optical telecommunications transport. Pdf module 4 switched communication networks gurwinder. I will attempt to cover both sonet and sdh in this presentation. Sonet and sdh define a set of physical layer standards for communications over optical fiber. Chapter 1, introduction chapter 2, sonet sts1 overhead chapter 3, sts1 frame structure chapter 4, virtual tributary structure chapter 5, payload mapping. Sonet is an acronym for synchronous optical network. Mapping this process takes place when tributaries are integrated into virtual tributaries vts in sonet, or into virtual c ontainers vcs in sdh, by adding. Synchronous digital hierarchy sdh columbia university. Overview this tutorial discusses synchronous transmission standards in world public telecommunications networks.
