Abstract

Future broadband customer premises networks (CPNs) may employ synchronous optical network (SONET) transmission, carrying asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cells, to interconnect intrapremises stations. This prospect, driven by current standardization efforts in ANSI T1 committees and CCITT, can lead to ubiquitous and cost-effective, high-speed interfaces capable of supporting a variety of services. Similar to the way they will support operations functions for SONET network elements in future broadband public networks, the embedded overhead channels in the SONET frame structure can assist in management of the CPN. In this paper, we suggest means of supporting CPN management in the functions of network configuration, fault location and notification, and performance monitoring, by taking advantage of the SONET overhead capabilities.
