- Building High-End Ethernet Functionality Into SDH Networks
- For now, NG-SDH seems to have its roots firmly entrenched in Service Provider networks. Given the ubiquitous presence of SDH in the metro, incrementally offering high-end Ethernet services over this SDH network would be the best way of packetizing the metro. This approach ensures that the Service Provider can start...
