SONET (Synchronous Optical Networking) is used for transferring multiple digital bit data streams via lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) through the one optical fiber. This is SONET's function, and it is therefore essentially focused on the physical medium of the process, being concerned with media, signal and binary transmission.
OSI (Open Systems Interconnection), on the other hand, is an abstract description for the design model of a 'background' computer network protocol, using different syntax and semantics to communicate between its different levels or 'layers'.
An OSI system is a 'seven-layer/level' design model: # Physical Layer # Data Link Layer # Network Layer # Transport Layer # Session Layer # Presentation Layer # Application Layer
At its first level, i.e. the Physical Layer, SONET is just an example one of the many systems that could be appropriately enhanced by an OSI-modelled/structured program.

(True) SONET Specifies framing and multicomplexing at the physical layer of the OSI model.
What is the difference when dealing with your virtual machines about the OSI model?
There is no difference in the OSI model between a real physical machine and a virtualized one.
Where does SDH fit into the OSI model and what protocol does it use to transmit frames?
Physical Layer, SONET is the other name used for it

SONET
Which multiplexing technique is used in SONET?
SONET uses an inverse multiplexing technique called virtual concatenation. SONET, which is the standard used in the United States and most of Europe, stands for Synchronous Optical Network.

Using OSI reference model explain the data communication between two hosts?
Which OSI model layer is responsible for the termination of connections between hosts?
There are in total seven layers in OSI model . OSI model layer that is responsible for the termination of connections between hosts is session layer . Session layer is responsible for the dialog control .
