SONET is an abbreviated term meaning Synchronous Optical NETwork. It is used as an IP backbone for both data and voice communications with large bandwidth capacities and speeds.

The flavor of optical bandwidth speeds for OC-x  run from Megabit per second to Gigabit per second and are as follows:

OC1    Transmits Data @ 51.84 Mbps   Equivalent to 28 x T1 Lines or 1 x T3 Line
OC3    Transmits Data @ 155.52 Mbps  Equivalent to 84 x T1 Lines or 3 x T3 Lines
OC9    Transmits Data @ 466.56 Mbps  Equivalent to 252 x T1 Lines or 9 x T3 Lines
OC12   Transmits Data @ 622.08 Mbps  Equivalent to 336 x T1 Lines or 12 x T3 Lines
OC18   Transmits Data @ 933.12 Mbps  Equivalent to 504 x T1 Lines or 18 x T3 Lines
OC24   Transmits Data @ 1.244 Gbps   Equivalent to 672 x T1 Lines or 24 x T3 Lines

OC192  Transmits Data @ 9.953 Gbps   Equivalent to 5,376 x T1 Lines or 192 T3 Lines 
OC256  Transmits Data @ 13.271 Gbps  Equivalent to 7,168 x T1 Lines or 256 T3 Lines 
OC768  Transmits Data @ 39.812 Gbps  Equivalent to 21,504 x T1 Lines or 768 x T3 Lines

SONET is low on maintenance expenses but can prove time consuming when scaling up to larger bandwidth capacities which has caused a good debate on whether Gigabit Ethernet options may be more viable, but one thing remains indisputable and that is the redundancy of the SONET architecture due to it’s path layers and it’s “SONET ring” topology.
