Article badly needs a refresh

The article is stuck in the mid-2000s. Ethernet has replaced SONET and an OC48 is no longer the predominant backbone. 24.130.141.254 (talk) 02:30, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SDH/SONET is still very much at the heard of the transmission network for many carrier, primarily legacy telecommunications carriers, and its ATM interface allows the carrier to share the transmission infrastructure to carry a wide array of legacy and new service times, everything from "virtual wire" that can emulate even Telex all the way to Metro-Ethernet and MPLS for public and private IPv4/IPv6 network interconnects. 2601:600:8D80:CA3:89EE:F0F:B085:3177 (talk) 19:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article does need an update for OC-3072 @160Gbps interface standard, which is listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interface_bit_rates but is missing technical details and historical context, which belongs on this page. LeoRosen (talk) 19:51, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
