The communication environment quickly changes, operators and enterprises need to be able to efficiently optimize their networks to offer increased bandwidth and speed. Without a significant overhaul of the existing network, Optical Transport Network (OTN) standard offers increased capacity and flexibility to deploy bandwidth-intensive, value-added services such as video- and voice-over-IP. OTN accomplishes this while also maintaining quality-of-service (QoS) and speeding up the time-to-market of new services.
The OTN convergence standard allows networks to meet the demands of today and provide for easy upgrades tomorrow.
What is OTN?
OTN is a globally accepted standard created by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and is referred to as a "digital wrapper", because of its ability to wrap any service into a digital optical container. OTN is designed to manage the transmission of multiple wavelengths over a single fiber.
According to ITU standards, OTN is composed of a set of optical network elements that are connected by optical fiber links, providing transport, multiplexing, routing, management, supervision and survivability of optical channels and carrying of client signals.
How can it benefit your network?
Simplified Standard Improves End-to-End Communication
The OTN standard minimizes the errors in the network thus is able to extend the reach of the fiber and allow faster transmission rates. The standard consists of a header in which overhead bytes are carried, a payload section and a trailer that performs forward-error correction (FEC). The payload section of OTN allows for all existing network protocols to be mapped without disruption, which FEC not only corrects errors but also enables carriers to provide different service-level agreements to their end-users.
OTN enhances proper end-to-end management and makes troubleshooting both customer and network problems easier.
High Network Transparency Provides Enhanced Management
The OTN standard was designed to be transparent to service types. All services are given individual treatment and any native functionality and performance are preserved without compromising the integrity of the underlying protocols.
Transport networks are increasingly complex, IP routers and multiservice provisioning platforms (MSPPs) do not offer the support operators need to roll out new services. The OTN standard supports its own overhead for performance monitoring and fault signaling, as well as a general communications channel (GCC) for remote management, software downloads and other control functions. With OTN network operators do not have to sacrifice the ability to manage at both the payload and service levels.
OTN provides the features and durability needed to allow carriers to support and manage their network effectively.
With an OTN standard deployment, operators and enterprises will be able to continue offering the much-needed value-added, revenue-generating services to become ahead of the game in an increasingly competitive industry.
