Overview of SONET
SONET is a set of standards that define the rates and formats for optical networks specified in GR–253–CORE.
SONET is based on a structure that has a basic frame format and speed. The frame format used by SONET
is the Synchronous Transport Signal (STS), with STS-1 as the base-level signal at 51.84 Mbps. An STS-1
frame can be carried in an OC-1 signal.
SONET has a hierarchy of signaling speeds.
Restrictions for SONET
•
Rate combinations are 0-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 and 8. A maximum rate of 4XOC-48 is supported on ports 0-7.
4XOC-48 can be configured in any one port of a port-group and other port is not used.
•
Only 16 BERT Patterns can be configured at a time on 1-Port OC192/STM-64 or 8-Port
OC3/12/48/STM-1/-4/-16 Module.
•
VT1.5 VT cannot be configured if VT1.5 T1/DS1 is configured with the same KLM value.
•
PMON fields are not supported for VT1.5 VT and DS3 or T3.
•
PMON Far-end parameters are not supported.
Restrictions on Bandwidth
•
Total available bandwidth for 1-Port OC192/STM-64 or 8-Port OC3/12/48/STM-1/-4/-16 Module is
10G.
The following configuration is blocked and an error message is displayed after the maximum bandwidth
is utilized:
rate OC3| OC12| OC48| OC192
The bandwidth of adjacent ports should not exceed OC-48.
The following table shows the bandwidth used by different rates:
