Abstract
A network device bundles packet over synchronous optical network (POS) data stream and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) data stream into a synchronous optical network (SONET) data stream. The POS data stream and the ATM data stream are virtual channels or tributaries of the SONET data stream. The SONET data stream may be transmitted over a single optical fiber.
