OTN
OTNOptical 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,
according to the requirements given in Rec. G.872
Features of OTN
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

Maintenance signals
AISalarm 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.
Maintenance signals
AISalarm indication signal
ODUk-AIS is specified as all "1"s in the entire ODUk signal,
excluding the frame alignment overhead (FA OH), OTUk
overhead (OTUk OH) and ODUk FTFL
The presence of ODUk-AIS is detected by monitoring the ODUk

OCI (open connection indication)

The presence of ODUk-OCI is detected by monitoring the ODUk STAT

Questions
What kinds of the components the OTM-n.m have?
OTSn, OMSn, OCh, OTUk/OTUkV, ODUk, OPUk
Whats the difference with the BIP-8 byte function among

SM, PM, TCMi ?
All of them the BIP-8 is computed over the bits in the OPUk
(columns 15 to 3824) area, but for different layers on OTUk,
ODUkP, ODUKT.
How many types of the TCM applications we have?

Nested, cascaded and overlapping
