April 2002
OTN Characteristics
 New transport networking layer (carrier grade solution)
• Next step (after SDH/SONET) to support ever growing data
driven needs for bandwidth and emergence of new broadband
services
– Terrabit/second per fiber via DWDM lines (transport level)
– Gigabit/second paths at 2.5 Gb/s, 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s
(networking level)
• Service transparency for SDH/SONET, ETHERNET, ATM, IP,
MPLS
– No change of SDH/SONET!
– One exception; interpretation of STM-LOF alarm  + STM-
AIS due to OTN fail
• Enhanced OAM & networking functionality for all services
• Shortest physical layer stack for data services (IP  OTN 
Fiber)
April 2002
OTN Characteristics

 Gigabit level bandwidth granularity required to scale and

manage multi-Terabit networks
• Wavelength level switching maximizes nodal switching capacity,
the gating factor for reconfigurable network capacity
• Avoids very large numbers of fine granularity pipes that stress
network planning, administration, survivability, and management

April 2002
Transitional Approaches - Assessment

 Extended SDH (attempt at creating a new layer using SDH

elements)
• Bandwidth multiplication by means of TDM  more Gigabit/s on
fiber (4x)
• Proprietary approaches attempting to carry lower rate STM-N
[including all overhead] as a “service” within a higher rate STM-M
(M>N)
– strongly limited: SDH multiplexing hierarchy not designed to carry
the STM-N (i.e. “itself”) as a service
 No timing transparency
 90% of STM-N/OC-N overhead bytes not passed through
 No STM-N/OC-N independent monitoring
– Multiple proprietary implementations created in industry
 no interworking

April 2002
Transitional Approaches - Assessment

 Pre-OTN WDM (simple transport - vs. networking - solution)

• Bandwidth multiplication by means of WDM  Terabit/s on fiber
(100x)
• Client signal (e.g. STM-N, GbE) direct on wavelength
– simple transport, no monitoring
– or client specific non-intrusive monitoring
 per client type a monitor is needed
 additional client type implies additional monitor to be
added
– alarm suppression signal (e.g. AIS) specific per client type
 additional client type implies additional alarm suppression
signal to be added
• Point-to-point application that can transport STM-N/OC-N as a
service
April 2002
Final Phase
 OTN (networking solution)
• Management enabler of WDM network by means of addition of:
– Overhead to "" and "multi-" signals
 "non-associated" or "out-of-channel" overhead; e.g.
preventing alarm storms
– Optical Channel (OCh) layer
 STM-N, IP, ATM and Ethernet signals mapped
("wrapped") into OCh frame (OCh Data Unit (ODUk))
• First transmission technology in which each stakeholder gets its
own (ODUk) connection monitoring
• In addition ODUk supports/provides:
– STM-N independent monitoring, becoming a service signal "itself",
shortest physical layer stack for data services, TDM muxing, STM-
N inverse multiplexing, client independent protection switching,
plesiochronous timing (no sync network required)

April 2002
O/E/O Objectives
 Minimise O/E/O processing in OTN
• O/E/O processing at edges of administrative/vendor
(sub)domains
– Span engineering
• O/E/O processing at edges of protected or switched domain
– Span engineering (short/long route effects)
– Signal Fail & Signal Degrade condition determination
 If more than 1 optical transparent subnetwork is included
• O/E/O processing at intermediate points
– Span engineering (long line sections)
– Losses in optical fabrics
• O/E & E/O processing around electrical fabric

April 2002
Digital Processing Objectives

 Digital processing at locations where O/E/O is already

performed
• Fault and degradation detection
• Service Level Agreement (SLA) verification
• Signal Fail & Signal Degrade condition determination for
protection and restoration (e.g. if high accuracy is required)

Time Division Multiplex
 TDM muxing in the OTN will be applied for:
• lower rate service signal transport
– in long distance line systems and/or sub-networks
optimised for single (higher) bit rate
• increased throughput
– in optical fabrics and/or sub-networks
• reduced administrative complexity
– in large networks
• lower cost networks
 TDM muxing introduces additional complexity when
tributary signal must be routed
• requires demux and mux stages around switch fabric

April 2002
Time Division Multiplex
 TDM muxing is muxing of ODUk signals into higher
order ODUk signals
• ODU1 into ODU2
• ODU1 and/or ODU2 into ODU3
– ODU1 into ODU2 into ODU3 is possible, but not the
recommended method when ODU1s are the service signals that
are to be switched/cross connected within an "ODU3 network"
– if ODU1s enter such ODU3 network via ODU2, the ODU2 is
terminated at the edge and the ODU1s are remultiplexed into an
ODU3
– if ODU2 is service signal, of course no demuxing/remuxing will
occur at edges
 Multiplexing via byte interleaving
