 | | SONET's base level, optical channel 1 (OC-1), is 51.84Mb/s and is equivalent to one DS-3. | | | Remember, SONET is doing all of this in the optical domain. | | | Until the advent of SONET, it was not possible for telecommunications companies to switch or to provide handoffs to other carriers in the optical domain. |

| | SONET defines optical signals and a synchronous frame structure for multiplexed digital traffic. | | | When you troubleshoot SONET problems or errors, the first thing to do is to isolate the bad section. | | | Bit Interleaved Parity (BIP) errors are parity errors that correspond to a specific SONET layer : BIP(B1) corresponds to Line, BIP(B2) to the Section, and BIP(B3) to the Path layer parity errors. |
