Optical Networking White Papers

Next Generation OTN Transport Solution

Overview A new transport technology is required to provide a converged transport solution for TDM and packet-based services. The Optical Transport Network (OTN) technology introduces such a solution, while offering flexibility for new services. The Optical Transport Hierarchy, OTH, is a new transport technology developed by the ITU for utilizing the experience and benefits of SONET/SDH and DWDM technologies. It enables the transfer of client signals (packet-based and legacy TDM services) over multiservice transport networks. It has all the capabilities to monitor, manage, and control each particular wavelength in the network.
