Technical Information For more information about SONET/SDH standards and their range, receiver sensitivity, optical wavelength for various data rate, look at: (International Communication Union) ITU-T Recommendations G.652, G.653, G.655, G.957, G.691, G.692 Tables 12-3, 12-4, 12-5 in the text book give you an idea about ITU recommendations for different photonic network configurations, standards, and interfaces.
SONET/SDH Ring 2-Fiber UPSR (Unidirectional Path Switched Ring) Generic two-fiber unidirectional network with counter-rotating protection path. Flow of primary and protection traffic from node 1 to node 3.
