Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)

Overview This tutorial discusses synchronous transmission standards in world public telecommunications networks. It will cover their origins, features, applications, and advantages, as well as their impact on network design and synchronous signal structure. This tutorial concentrates on the most common form of SDH, that defined by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for Europe but now used everywhere outside of North America and Japan. The Japanese version of SDH differs only in details that are touched on here but are not significant for the purposes of this tutorial. SONET was defined by the American National Standards Institution (ANSI) and is used in North America.
