SONET has commonly transmitted data at speed between 155 megabits per second and 2.5 gigabits per second. To the build these high bandwidth data streams, the SONET multiplexer together channels having the bandwidth as low as 64-kilobits per second into data frames sent at fixed intervals. So now let us check out the application of SONET to know more details about SONET.
- SONET was originally designed for the public telephone network.
- SONET acts as a carrier of multiple higher-level application protocol.
- SONET provides a layer 1 or interfaces layer technology also termed physical layer in the OSI model.
- SONET is used to Multipoint configurations, enhanced performance, monitoring, and enhanced and integrated OAM.
