ABSTRACT:
Network data is received in a first format. The data is converted to a synchronous optical network (SONET) format. Switching functions are performed on the SONET formatted data. The SONET formatted data is converted to a second format. In one embodiment, the switching functions on the SONET formatted data contains performing time switching and space switching.
