This application note is intended to provide guidance for proper testing methods for SONET-based networks as recommended by EXFO. It focuses on testing applications and techniques that will be helpful in meeting the challenges of today’s complex networks. The testing strategy outlined below ensures that all aspects of a SONET network are characterized; this, in turn, allows you to ensure the availability and quality of your network’s transport. In recent years, there have been many advances in technology that have changed the environment in which transport engineers and technicians find themselves. A major change that has come about in the last few years is the proliferation of IP-based services. As Internet protocol (IP) has progressed from being a means of transferring static data files between government and educational establishments to a ubiquitous technology used to transport voice, video and other demanding services, the performance requirements of the underlying transport network have become more stringent. Thus, testing and qualification of these transport networks has become more important and more challenging.
