Abstract:
1. A communication system comprising: a first interface system configured to receive over a single optical wavelength a first Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) signal including first section overhead and first line overhead in a first transport overhead and including path overhead and user data in a first payload, and in response, to transfer in parallel over multiple optical wavelengths the first section overhead, the first line overhead, the path overhead, and the user data; and a second interface system configured to receive the first section overhead, the first line overhead, the path overhead, and the user data, and in response, to regenerate the first SONET signal including the first section overhead and the first line overhead in the first transport overhead and including the path overhead and the user data in the first payload, and to transfer the regenerated first SONET signal.
