Esther,
The 'S' in SONET stands for synchronous, meaning that both sides need to
operate at the same exact speed to determine when a frame starts and stops.
So it has a strict length and time assigned to it. Ethernet is asynchronous
physically, as the Ethernet spec specifies an inter-frame gap between
frames, which allows stations to know when one frame ends and another
begins. The preamble in Ethernet also helps stations sync for an incoming
packet. As far as speed differences, Manchester encoding at a specific
megahertz is used. They've increased the speed of the encoding over the
years, as the mediums used (copper, fiber) have improved. This is all off
the top of my head, so you might want to check the RFCs (IEEE) to be
positive. HTH.
