Ethernet over SDH tutorial/concepts.

Hello:

It could also just be a direct Ethernet path over a SONET circuit without the inherent 802.17 resiliency.  You should ask them for more information about their infrastructure.  Are they using 802.17?  Is it path-protected on the SONET side?

This is most likely something like RPR/802.17 which is Ethernet over
Sonet/SDH.

I'd like to find some introductory texts or prospects about that technology and some advice about its pros/cons when compared to traditional data circuits.
