A SONET Overview

SONET Demultiplexing Procedure 1
As shown in Figure A-9, demultiplexing is the inverse of multiplexing. The
unscrambled STS-1 signal from the optical conversion stages is processed to
extract the section and line overhead and accurately locate the SPE. The next
stage processes the path overhead and demultiplexes the VTs. A standard DS3
signal will be provided to the asynchronous network after path overhead
processing. For DS1 signals, the individual DS1 VTs are then processed to extract
VT overhead and, via the VT pointer, accurately locate the DS1 SPE. Finally,
desynchronization of the DS1 SPE provides a standard DS1 signal to the
asynchronous network.
