Abstract
The authors discuss future network architectures and application benefits of SONET networking. Emphasis is placed on networking of existing and potential services, OAM (operations, administration, and maintenance), and SONET, the transport format which permits the realization of such future networks. Attention is given to optical interconnect, fiber terminal evolution, multipoint configurations, novel services, hybrid networks, enhanced performance, monitoring, and enhanced and integrated OAM
