SONET - Section Overhead (SOH)

B1: BIP-8

The BIP-8 (Bit-Interleaved Parity) byte provides section error monitoring.
The byte is calculated by performing a routine even-parity check over all
bits of the previous frame of a composite signal (STS-1 to STS-n). This byte
is only defined for the first STS-1 frame of a composite signal.

E1: Orderwire

The Orderwire provides a 64 Kbps voice channel for communication
between two STEs (Section Terminating Equipment). This byte is only
defined for the first STS-1 frame of a composite signal.

F1: User

The User byte is reserved for user purposes. This byte is only defined for
the first STS-1 frame of a composite signal.

D1, D2 and D3: Data Communications Channel
(DCC)

The Data Communication Channel (D1, D2 and D3) provides a 192 Kbps
data communication between two STEs for operation functions such as
OAM&P. This byte is only defined for the first STS-1 frame of a composite
signal.
