Hello: It could also just be a direct Ethernet path over a SONET circuit without the inherent 802.17 resiliency. You should ask them for more information about their infrastructure. Are they using 802.17? Is it path-protected on the SONET side?

This is most likely something like RPR/802.17 which is Ethernet over Sonet/SDH. Cheers Paul On Wed, 30 Nov 2005, MARLON BORBA wrote:
Dear NANOGers,
We are in process of choosing a new corporate ISP for our company. One of them offered us connection to their backbone using Ethernet over SDH. I'd like to find some introductory texts or prospects about that technology and some advice about its pros/cons when compared to traditional data circuits.
