Abstract

The Appendix covers synchronous optical network (SONET) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) protocols. It describes the SONET transmission frame format, definition and applications of SONET overhead bytes, ATM layer, ATM cell format, ATM cell header definition and applications, and various types of the ATM adaptation layer (AAL).
