A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : SONET Synchronous Transport Signal over IP Author(s) : J. Boyle, C. White, J. Lawrence Filename : draft-boyle-sts-ip-00.txt Pages : 12 Date : 18-Jul-00 A proposal is made to carry Synchronous Transport Signal (STS-N) services over packetized networks, in particular over IP networks. This has the potential to dramatically lower the price, ease the provisioning and grooming, and improve managability of delivering these types of circuits. Two proposals are put forth for discussion on how STS services could be transported over an IP network. The first proposal, referred to as SPE1/IP, is to break OC-N signals down into their STS-1 blocks, identify the SPE components and packetize these for transmission across a packet network. The second proposal, referred to as STSc/IP breaks down the STS signal into the underlying concatenated services and transports configurable length segments of the signal to the far end of the data network. With either of these approaches, different STS-N services on a given port can be connected to different ports across the network and the network will groom them onto the most optimal path available.

Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-boyle-sts-ip-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-boyle-sts-ip-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
