Optical Networking White Papers

QOS Your Way

Overview Considering that most service providers currently have solid infrastructures providing the highest level of Quality of Service (QoS) with SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) transport, how do they maintain this superior quality level and yet add new revenue sources as we migrate toward data-centric networks? With the explosion of Internet and the high demand for enhanced data services, service providers are struggling with the challenge of this migration without stranding their current customer base and sacrificing the corner stone of their business. Most analysts project that data traffic will be the dominating network traffic in the near future, and service providers need to strengthen their position in the new data market in order to maintain their profitability without sacrificing reliability, survivability and quality.
