Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet Over SONET/SDH
Overview The Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) over SONET/SDH design is a system solution for transporting GbE frames over existing SONET/SDH rings or point-to-point connections. It is provided using a combination of SONET/SDH and GbE standard products together with FPGAs and stand-alone SDRAM devices. One of the benefits of this solution is the unification of all WAN and PSTN service delivery over the same infrastructure, platforms, and fiber-access interface. Metropolitan Area Network examples include extension of Gigabit Ethernet LANs. Virtual private networks (VPNs) can also be implemented over optical networks having the reliability built into SONET/SDH systems.
