Limitations of PDH
Inability to identify individual channels in a higher-order bit stream. Multiplexing/Demultiplexing is cumbersome (Stage wise). Insufficient capacity for network management as limited OAMP operation. Theres no standardised definition of PDH bit rates greater than 140 Mbit/s. There are different hierarchies in use around the world. Specialized interface equipment is required to interwork the two hierarchies.
Standards
The hierarchy is as follows:

Virtual Container
It adds overheads to a container or groups of tributary units, that provides facilities for supervision and maintenance of the end to end paths VCs carry information end to end between two path access points through the SDH system
Virtual Container
At each level, subdivisions of capacity can float individually between the payload areas of adjacent frames. Each subdivision can be readily located by its own pointer that is embedded in the overheads. The pointer is used to find the floating part of the AU or TU, which is called a virtual container (VC). The AU pointer locates a higher-order VC, and the TU pointer locates a lower-order VC. For example, an AU3 contains a VC3 plus a pointer, and a TU2 contains a VC2 plus a pointer.
A VC is the payload entity that travels across the network, being created and dismantled at or near the service termination point.
Tributary Unit
It adds pointers to the VCs
This pointer permits the SDH system to compensate for phase differences within the SDH network and also for the frequency deviations between the SDH networks
TUs acts as a bridge between the lower order path layer and higher order path layer
Administrative Unit
It adds pointer to the HO Virtual containers(similar to the tributary unit)

Pointers
SDH provides payload pointers to permit differences in the phase and frequency of the Virtual Containers (VC-N) with respect to the STM-N frame. On a frame-by-frame basis, the payload pointer indicates the offset between the VC payload and the STM-N frame.
The pointer value indicates the offset in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the VC, which is the J1 byte.
Starting points are at 3-byte increments for a VC-4 payload & 1byte increment for VC-3 payload.
The possible range is: Total STM-1 bytes Section Overhead bytes = Pointer value range (2430 81) = 2349 pointer range
Pointers Continued
For a VC-4 payload, this pointer is located in columns 1 and 4 of the fourth row of the Section Overhead For a VC-3 payload, entire pointer bytes are used.
Pointers Continued
The pointer value, is carried in bits 7 through 16 of the H1-H2 pointer word. The first four bits indicates an arbitrary change in the value of the pointer. These four bits, the N-bits, are known as the New Data Flag.

RSOH AU Pointer
MSOH
When the data rate of the VC is too slow in relation to the rate of the STM-1 frame, then I bits are inverted & the pointer value is incremented by 1. This is known as PPJ.
RSOH AU Pointer
MSOH
When the data rate of the VC is too fast in relation to the rate of the STM-1 frame, D bits are inverted and the pointer value is decremented by 1. This is known as NPJ.
