Abstract :
IP over SONET technology is being deployed today in IP backbone networks to provide efficient, cost-effective, high-speed transport between fast routers. The authors present an overview of the architectural considerations in the deployment of IP over SONET technology. In addition, an overview of the developments in IP over SONET interface design and specification is provided. Finally, the authors conclude with an examination of the future of high-speed Internet transport
