  • System and methods for selectively transmitting ethernet traffic over SONET/SDH optical network
    Publication number: 20020176450
    Abstract: An interface for an optical node with a plurality of input ports and output ports in SONET/SDH optical network connected to a plurality of virtual concatenation channels has a plurality of input ports for taking Ethernet signals as inputs, and a plurality of output ports for selectively outputting Ethernet frames in the Ethernet signals to the virtual concatenation channels.
