SONET over Ethernet

Today's common and extensively used MAC layers are SONET and Ethernet. They serve different networks and are incompatible. It is necessary to interface the two networks since they may be part of the route used by data. This paper integrates SONET over Ethernet thus creating compatibility between these two protocols without going through unnecessary conversions. Simulation shows that this New Layer 2 Network improves the performance and brings added benefits.
