ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for automatic provisioning of topology for SONET networks are disclosed. The method for topology provisioning generally includes mapping the network topology based on network connection information, verifying that the network elements complete a ring formation, obtaining protection scheme information, and automatically provisioning time-division multiplexing group (TDMG) and/or facility fault protection (FFP) depending upon the protection mechanism.
