RE: Ethernet over SDH tutorial/concepts.

["Michael K. Smith" <mksmith () adhost com>]

Hello:

It could also just be a direct Ethernet path over a SONET circuit without the inherent 802.17 resiliency.  You should 
ask them for more information about their infrastructure.  Are they using 802.17?  Is it path-protected on the SONET 
side?

This is most likely something like RPR/802.17 which is Ethernet over
Sonet/SDH.
