Abstract
The status of the synchronous optical network (SONET) infrastructure development and deployment are examined to see whether or not they meet original expectations. Issues arising from deployment, such as the use of new features and the necessary support from operations systems, and future directions of SONET are discussed. These future trends include digital cross connect systems (DCSs), SONET ring architectures, and hybrid ring-DCS networks. New SONET services are also discussed.<>
