OTN Definition
 OTN（Optical Transport Network）
 An Optical Transport Network (OTN) is composed of a set of
Optical Network Elements connected by optical fiber links, able
to provide functionality of transport, multiplexing, routing,
management, supervision and survivability of client signals.
OTN Features
 Compared with SDH and SONET ：
 Ultra capacity with high accuracy, Terabit/second per fiber via
DWDM lines
 Service transparency for client signals
 Asynchronous mapping, powerful FEC function, predigest

network design and reduce the cost
 Compared with traditional WDM

 Enhanced OAM & networking functionality for all services
 Dynamically electrical/optical layer grooming

ODUk Time-Division Multiplex
 Low rate ODUk signals are multiplexed into high rate ODUk
signals using time division multiplexing :
 2×ODU0 multiplexed into 1×ODU1
 8×ODU0/4×ODU1 multiplexed into 1×ODU2
 32×ODU0/16×ODU1/4×ODU2/3×ODU2e multiplexed into

1×ODU3
 80×ODU0/40×ODU1/10×ODU2(e)/ 2×ODU3 multiplexed

into 1×ODU4
 320 ×ODU0/160×ODU1/40×ODU2(e)/ 10×ODU3/

4×ODU4 multiplexed into 1×ODU5
ODU1 into ODU2 Multiplexing Method
 ODU1 floats in ¼ of the OPU2 payload area.

Maintenance Signals
 FDI（forward defect indication）
 FDI is a signal sent downstream as an indication that an
upstream defect has been detected.
 AIS and FDI are similar signals. AIS is used as term when the
signal is in the digital domain. FDI is used as the term when
the signal is in the optical domain.
 FDI is transported as non associated overhead in the OTM
overhead signal (OOS).
Maintenance Signals (Cont.)
 AIS（alarm indication signal）
 AIS is a signal sent downstream as an indication that an
upstream defect has been detected. An AIS signal is
generated in an adaptation sink function
 An AIS signal is detected in a trail termination sink

function to suppress defects or failures that would
otherwise be detected as a consequence of the
interruption of the transport of the original signal at an
upstream point.
