8.22 T-Carrier Digital Hierarchy 15 T-Carrier Designation DS Designation Data Rate DS-064 Kbps T-1DS-11.544 Mbps T-2DS-26.312 Mbps T-3DS-344.376 Mbps T-4DS-4274.176 Mbps

8.22 Dedicated Services - Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) ANSI standard for optical fiber transmission in Gbps range Similar to ITU-T-based, synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) SDH and SONET can be easily interconnected SONET hierarchy Begins with OC-1 (optical carrier level 1) at 51.84 Mbps Each succeeding SONET hierarchy rate is defined as a multiple of OC-1

8.23 Packet Switched Services – Basic Architecture 9 - 19
20
8.23 Packet Switching Interleave packets from separate messages for transmission Most data communications consists of short burst of data Packet switching takes advantage of this burstiness Interleaving bursts from many users to maximize the use of the shared network
21
8.23 Packet Switched - Service Protocols X.25 Oldest packet switched service (widely used in Europe) Not in widespread use in North America Low data rates (64 Kbps) (available now at 2.048 Mbps) Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Newer than X.25; also standardized Data Rates Same rates as SONET: 51.8, 466.5, 622.08 Mpbs New versions: T1 ATM (1.5 Mbps), T3 ATM (45 Mbps) Provides extensive QoS information Enables setting of precise priorities among different types of transmissions (i.e. voice, video & e-mail) 9 - 21
22
8.23 Packet Switched - Service Protocols Frame Relay Faster than X.25 but slower than ATM NO QoS support (under development) Common CIR speeds: 56, 128, 256, 384 Kbps, 1.5, 2, and 45 Mbps Ethernet Services Most organizations use Ethernet and IP in the LAN and BN. Currently offer CIR speeds from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps at 1/4 the cost of more traditional services No need to translate LAN protocol (Ethernet/IP) to the protocol used in MAN/WAN services X.25, ATM, & Frame Relay use different protocols requiring translation from/to LAN protocols 9 - 22
