Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)

SONET and SDH are standardized protocols that transfer multiple digital bit streams synchronously over optical fiber using lasers or LEDs to replace the older PDH system for transporting large amounts of telephone calls and data traffic without synchronization problems. SONET and SDH were designed to transport circuit-switched communications like voice encoded in PCM format from various sources simultaneously within a single framing protocol by synchronizing the differing circuits.

• Synchronous optical networking (SONET) and synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)

are standardized protocols that transfer multiple digital bit


streams synchronouslyover optical fiber using lasers or highly coherent light
from light-emitting diodes (LEDs). At low transmission rates data can also be
transferred via an electrical interface. The method was developed to replace
the plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) system for transporting large amounts
of telephone calls and data traffic over the same fiber without synchronization
problems.
• SONET and SDH, which are essentially the same, were originally designed to
transport circuit mode communications (e.g., DS1, DS3) from a variety of different
sources, but they were primarily designed to support real-time, uncompressed,
circuit-switched voice encoded in PCM format.[1] The primary difficulty in doing
this prior to SONET/SDH was that the synchronization sources of these various
circuits were different. This meant that each circuit was actually operating at a
slightly different rate and with different phase. SONET/SDH allowed for the
simultaneous transport of many different circuits of differing origin within a single
framing protocol. SONET/SDH is not a communications protocol in itself, but a
transport protocol.
