SONET-SDH structure Sonet / SDH technologies have been out for a while now, the main goal was to transport digital information over fiber, but also support electrical lower rate communication signal overhead payload payload overhead

Why OTN ITU G.709 is the OTN Standard
OTN Overhead structure The FAS/MFAS provides frame alignment. The Section Monitoring provides Error detection and communication The OPU overhead adapt the client signal to the optical channel, specifying the type of client signal in the payload The ODU overhead brings TCM support, Communication channels and Automatic protection switching
Why the use of OTN over SONET/SDH OTN provide better TCM support Over-multiple Carriers. SDH/SONET only support one TCM vs. 6 TCM for OTN
Forward Error Correction (FEC) • FEC provides the following benefits. • Improves the BER performance of an existing link • Increases the maximum span of a link can extend up to 20km and remove the need of regenerator • Improves the overall quality of the link by diagnosing link problems earlier
ITU G.709 Sup 43 Over-Clocked OTN rates OTU1e – OTU2e • The goal here, is to combine multiple 10GE ports from the Core router directly into OTN. • Not to be confused with OTU1 which is a 2.7 Gbit/s signal, these are 10G rates • Not a big issue with 10GE Wan (9.953 Gb/s) where the signal can be directly map into an OPU2 container • This is more a problem with the 10GBASE-R 10GE LAN, where there’s a size mismatch between the containers.

New ODU 0 OTN container • ODU0 is a new container size that has been introduced in the G.709 to accommodate efficient transport of Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gb/s). OTU1 was not efficient for 1GbE signal with a payload rate of 2.48832Gb/s • ODU0 is half the size of an ODU1 container i.e = 1.244 160 Gb/s • Gigabit Ethernet does not fit in the OPU0 payload, GMP will be use to insert the Gigabit Ethernet rate inside OPU0 rate Note: ODU0 does not have a physical instance (i.e. there is no OTU0), the signal needs to be multiplexed into a higher layer in order to be transported on the OTN network
New ODU 0 OTN container • ODU0 • New multiplexing method1 that allows direct ODU0 multiplexing into ODUk (k=2,3,4) in a single stage • This multiplexer uses Generic Mapping Procedure (GMP) for ODU0 justification control • Where GMP will support various client signals and future new ones. It is a generic procedure for mapping a client signal with any bit rate less than the payload capacity to the ODU.
Technology Overview ODU • ODU0 mapping? • The mapping of a ODU0 into a ODU1 is done using ODTU01 (optical channel data unit tributary ) where the ODU1 structure is divided into two sections and where both ODU0 are map. Each needed ODU0 are mapped in to the payload using GMP to specific timeslot.
Technology Overview • Any client signal can be map into the payload using the below process, where each low order signal will mux into a timeslot and be insert in to the payload
ODUflex • ODUflex is a new OTN variable container introduce in October 2009 • Allows for flexible ODU rates for transparent transport of any client signal, it used a similar process to VCAT except that there is no delay because the signal is map in to the same physical container • Adapted in 2 ways: • For Constant Bit Rate (CBR)client signals • Rate = 239/238 x CBR rate • For GFP-F mapped packet client signals • Rate = N x ~1.25Gbit/s (ODU0) with 1 ≤ N ≤ 80
40GE/100GE Mapping into OTN • Wide-area Ethernet transport technologies are necessary to support, for example, the connection of Ethernet switches separated by more than 40 km (typical distance supported by Ethernet standards). • ITU-T SG15 is responsible for OTN standardization and IEEE 802.3ba is responsible for 40G/100G Ethernet standardization; both working closely to develop 40GE/100G transport capability over OTN
40GE/100GE Mapping into OTN 40GE with 64B/66B Transcoding 41.25G Using 1024B/1027B 103.125G 40.117G 40GE 100GE GMP GMP ODU3 40.319G ODU4 104.794G OH 104.355G OH 40.15052G 1x 1x OTU4 OTU3 • Standard 40GE runs at 41.25Gbps and OPU3 payload is only 40.15 Gbps • Therefore, mapping 40GE over OTU3 requires 1024/1027B transcoding adaptation to reduce 40GE coded rate
