SONET - Path Overhead (POH)

SONET - Path Overhead (POH)

This section contains overhead information (POH) processed by SONET
STS-1 terminating equipment.

J1: Trace

The J1 Trace byte provides a 16 or 64 byte fixed string to verify connection
between path transmitting equipment and path receiving equipment.

B3: BIP-8

The BIP-8 (Bit-Interleaved Parity) byte provides path error monitoring. The
byte is calculated by performing a even-parity check over all bits of the
previous SPE.
