A SONET Overview
Issue 1 December 1997 A-5
Each SONET layer has a set of overhead bytes as shown in Figure A-3. These
bytes carry information used by various network elements.
■ Section Overhead contains information that is used by all SONET
equipment including repeaters.
■ Line Overhead is used by all SONET equipment except repeaters.
■ Path Overhead is carried within the payload envelope.
— STS-1 path overhead remains with the STS-1 SPE until its
asynchronous signal is extracted (for example, DS-3) or until its
individual VT1.5 signals are demultiplexed.
— VTN (N= 1.5, 2, 3, or 6) path overhead remains with the VTN until
its asynchronous signal is extracted.
