ODUflex

ODUflex is a flexible optical channel data unit. It has a


bandwidth range of 1.25G to 100G and two main features:

1. Efficient transmission:

Flexible rate adaptation mechanisms enable users to


configure capacities for containers based on service
traffic volume. Bandwidth use is now more efficient, with
reduced transmission cost per bit.

2. Good compatibility:

ODUflex applies to various types of services, including


video, storage, and data services, and works with
transmission requirements of future IP services.

At present, the two types of ODUflex as defined by ITU-T


G.709 are ODUflex(CBR) based on constant bit rate services,
and ODUflex(GFP) based on packet services.

ODUflex
(CBR)

Bit rate = 239/238 × client signal bit rate Only client signals

with a bit rate greater than 2.488 Gbit/s can be encapsulated


into ODUflex signals in BMP mode.

ODUflex
(GFP)

Any bit rate works for an ODUflex(GFP) signal. To maximize


efficiency, ODUflex(GFP) signals should fill an integer

number of tributary timeslots in the smallest HO ODUk

channel carrying the signals. The bit rate is equal to

n×ODUk.ts (k=2,3,4),approximately n×1.25G, where n is the


number of tributary timeslots occupied by ODUflex(GFP).

Packet service signals are encapsulated into ODUFlex


signals in GFP-F mode.

Application Example

Encapsulation path: FC4G->ODUflex->ODU2 ODUflex


signals are encapsulated into the four ODU2 timeslots.
The remaining timeslots can carry other service signals,
achieving 100% bandwidth usage.
