Abstract
This document describes an extension to the mapping of Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) into Synchronous Optical NETwork/Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) to include the use of SONET/SDH SPE/VC virtual
concatenation and the use of both high order and low order payloads.

contiguously concatenated signals that are available.
