"Merchant silicon eases MSPP development"
By:
Pierre Vaillancourt, Senior Product Marketing Engineer, Service
Provider Division at PMC-Sierra
Once
limited to the transport of voice traffic over long distances,
SONET/SDH networks now play an expanded role in today's service-provider
networks. SONET/SDH networks now combine voice, video, and
data services over a single robust transport mechanism as
they evolve to provide increased bandwidth, flexibility, manageability,
and efficiency.
