NG-SDH Architectures

The financial and technological cycle of the telecom industry is forcing manufacturers, carriers, operators and standards organizations to move towards a new network that reduces costs while offering new services. Luckily, SDH/SONET has also evolved to more efficiently adapt to statistical multiplexing and traffic based on data packets, especially Ethernet.
