Abstract

See full text

An internal signal within a SONET element has a transport format having overhead and payload mapped in a manner similar to the Synchronous Optical Network standard mapping, except having selected overhead bytes defined differently, including a byte used for communicating odd parity calculated over an odd number of bytes of a frame of the transport format to determine correct or incorrect parity, selected bytes used for inter-module automatic protection switching, and a pointer having a selected fixed value, along with an adjusted virtual tributary pointer in a virtual tributary mode.
