About the White Paper:
When planning switching and transmission networks, carriers must consider timing and synchronization issues. Five common architectures are used for synchronization and timing; these include: conventional asynchronous transmission and transport architecture, using Building Integrated Timing Systems (BITS), or ""clock"" systems; Synchronous Optical Network (Sonet) with BITS; Sonet with synchronization messaging with or without BITS; Sonet with synchronization via conventional asynchronous transmission and BITS; and Global positioning system (GPS)-derived timing for Sonet systems. There are other architectures; however, they usually are some combination of the ones just described. |
