In other PodSnacks, we've discussed multiplexing, multiplexers, and digital cross-connect systems (DCS). Today we're going to look at a device that brings these concepts together: the add/drop multiplexer (ADM). This device is part of the SONET world and makes the creation of SONET rings possible. Sit down, put your feet up, and give a listen as I explain it to you.
