Transparent generic framing procedure (GFP) a protocol for efficient transport of block-coded data through SONET

Generic framing procedure (GFP) is a new standard that has been developed to overcome data transport inefficiencies or deficiencies with the existing ATM and packet over SONET/SDH protocols. Transparent GFP (GFP-T) is an extension to GFP developed to provide efficient low-latency support for high-sp...
