ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

DS0A

DS0a is a type of communication channel that helps people talk to each other over long distances using electronic devices like telephones. Imagine you want to talk to your grandma who lives far away from you. You could use your phone to call her but you need a special type of connection to make sure your voices can travel across the long distance. Think of this connection like a really long pipe that connects your phone to your grandma's phone. If the pipe is too skinny, then not enough of your voice can get through and you won't be able to hear each other very well. DS0a is like a pipe that is big enough to let your voice travel through without getting squished. This means you can talk to your grandma over the phone even though she's really far away!
