Abstract

A basic objective behind the development of the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) standards is inter-vendor compatibility. In the simplest case this means the terminals at the ends of a fiber optic link can be made by different manufacturers. In the future this objective means that many SONET Terminals Add/Drop Multiplexers Regenerators Digital Cross-Connects and Digital Loop Carriers will all be interconnected to form a single efficient and flexible network. This paper will discuss the goals of the Bdilcore SONET Compatibility Test Program that is now being developed and implemented. Some details of the test plan and early observations are reported.
