OTN - Optical Transport Network
OTN System
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. ITU-T G.872 and Rec. ITU-T
G.8080. The Rec. ITU-T G.709 describes the Interfaces for the optical transport

Drivers
Current SDH/ETHERNET + P2P DWDM becomes rigid
Time-to-service for medium level services (STM16 and GE)
is very high.
Need of a more flexible and reliable network using existing
resources
Solution:
OTN switching network composed by 38 distributed Nodes.
ASON over OTN provide high reliability and fast provisioning.
Existing DWDM links from different venders used as
transport layer.
