SONET/SDH Overview
The POS specification addresses the use of PPP encapsulation over SONET/Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (SDH) links. SONET is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard
(T1.105-1988) for optical digital transmission at hierarchical rates from 51.840 Mbps (STS-1) to
2.5 Gbps (STS-48) and greater. SDH is the international standard for optical digital transmission at
hierarchical rates from 155.520 Mbps (STM-1) to 2.5 Gbps (STM-16) and greater.
Because SONET/SDH is by definition a point-to-point circuit, PPP is well suited for use over these links.
PPP was designed as a standard method of communicating over point-to-point links.
SONET is an octet-synchronous multiplex scheme that defines a family of standard rates and formats.
The basic rate for POS is that of STS-3c/STM-1, which is 155.520 Mbps. The available information
bandwidth is 149.760 Mbps, which is the STS-3c/STM-1 Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE), the
payload portion of the SONET frame into which the octet-oriented user data is mapped. (Octet
boundaries are aligned with the SPE octet boundaries.) For the SPE with the PA-POS-1OC3, section,
line, and path overhead are removed.
The International Telecommunications Union Telecommunication Sector (ITU-T) defines a series of
SDH transmission rates beginning at 155.520 Mbps, as follows:

2. Supported by the PA-POS-1OC3.
Despite the name, SONET is not limited to optical links. Electrical specifications have been defined for
single-mode fiber, multimode fiber, and CATV 75-ohm coaxial cable. The PA-POS-1OC3 allows
transmission over single-mode and multimode optical fiber. Transmission rates are integral multiples of
51.840 Mbps, which can be used to carry T3/E3 bit-synchronous signals.
The following transmission multiples are currently specified and commonly used:
• STS-3c—155.520 Mbps (the PA-POS-1OC3 conforms to STS-3c)
• STS-12c—622.080 Mbps
• STS-48c—2,488.320 Mbps

Interface Specifications
Interface Specifications
The physical layer interface for the PA-POS-1OC3 is Optical Carrier-3 (OC-3c), the specification for
SONET STS-3c and SDH STM-1 transmission rates, and the PA-POS-1OC3 is designed to comply with
Packet-over-SONET specifications. The PA-POS-1OC3 provides one 155.520-Mbps packet OC-3
network interface for all supported platforms.
The PA-POS-1OC3 has a duplex LC-type receptacle that allows connection to single-mode or multimode
optical fiber. (For more information on the optical fiber cables you should use with this port adapter, see
the“Cables and Connectors” section on page 1-7.)
Packet data is transported using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and is mapped into the STS-3c/STM-1
frame. The encapsulations used add approximately half the number of bytes of transport overhead as that
involved with ATM using ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) and line card control (LCC) Subnetwork
Access Protocol (SNAP) encapsulations.
The PA-POS-1OC3 interface is compliant with RFC 1619, PPP over SONET/SDH, and RFC 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing. The PA-POS-1OC3 supports RFC 1619 PPP over SONET/SDH encapsulation,
and provides support for SNMP agent v1 (RFC 1155–1157), and Management Information Base (MIB)
II (RFC 1213).
Chapter 1 PA-POS-1OC3 Overview
OC-3 Optical Fiber Specifications
The OC-3 specification for optical fiber transmission defines two types of fiber: single-mode and
multimode. Within the single-mode category, two types of transmission are defined: intermediate reach
and long reach. Within the multimode category, only short reach is available.
Modes can be thought of as bundles of light rays entering the fiber at a particular angle. Single-mode
fiber allows only one mode of light to propagate through the fiber, and multimode fiber allows multiple
modes of light to propagate through the fiber.
Multiple modes of light propagating through the fiber travel different distances depending on the entry
angles, which causes them to arrive at the destination at different times (a phenomenon called modal dispersion); therefore, single-mode fiber is capable of higher bandwidth and greater cable run distances
than multimode fiber. Ta b l e 1-1 lists nominal OC-3 optical parameters for single-mode and multimode
optical fiber transmission.
NoteIf the distance between two connected stations is greater than the maximum distances listed, significant
signal loss can result, making transmission unreliable.

Using Statistics to Estimate Link Loss and Power Budget
Encapsulation Method Support
The following encapsulation methods are supported by the PA-POS-1OC3:
• RFC 1619 PPP over SONET/SDH
We recommend that you refer to the Internet Draft Enabling Transparency for the PPP over
SONET/SDH Mapping, which is recognized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and
Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) as an approved addendum to RFC 1619.
• High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)
• Frame Relay
Using Statistics to Estimate Link Loss and Power Budget
Statistical models more accurately determine the power budget than standard worst-case methods.
Determining the link loss with statistical methods requires accurate knowledge of variations in the data
link components. Statistical power budget analysis is beyond the scope of this document. For further
information, refer to ITU-T standards and your equipment specifications.
The following publications contain information on determining attenuation and power budget:
