ITU-TRecommendation G.709Interfaces for theOptical Transport Network(OTN)describes a means of communicating data over an optical network.[1]It is a standardized method for transparent transport of services over optical wavelengths inDWDMsystems. It is also known as Optical Transport Hierarchy (OTH) standard. The first edition of this protocol was approved in 2001.[2]
The G.709 OTUk signal is positioned as a server layer signal for various client signals, e.g.SDH/SONET,ATM,IP,Ethernet,Fibre ChannelandOTNODUk(where k=0, 1, 2, 2e, 3, 3e2, 4 or flex).[3]Work on support forInfiniBandandCommon Public Radio Interfaceclient signals is currently[when?]in progress.
The frame structure defined in G.709 is constructed of 4 areas:
- OPUk[3]is the area in which payload is mapped.
- ODUk[3]contains the OPUk with additional overhead bytes (e.g. TTI,BIP8,GCC1/2,TCM etc.).
- OTUk[3]is the section and includes framing, TTI, BIP8 andGCC0bytes.
- FEC– The standard FEC code (described inG.975) is aReed–Solomoncoding calculated across the payload (OPU) columns. This allows detection and correction of bit errors due to signal impairments during transmission. The FEC code also extends the distance the optical signal can travel before requiring regeneration.
G.709 offers advancedOAM&Pcapabilities such asTandem Connection Monitoring(TCM), End to End performance monitoring, connectivity monitoring, signal quality supervision andGeneral Communication Channel(GCC).
Typical client signals and corresponding G.709 rates
[edit]| Client Signal Type | Client Signal | OTN Line Signal (G.709) | OTUk Line Rate (kbit/s)[4] | OPUk Payload Rate (kbit/s)[4] | OTUk frame period (μs) | OTUk frequency accuracy (ppm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SONET/SDH | STS-48/STM-16 | OTU1 | 2,666,057 | 2,488,320 | 48.971 | ± 20 |
| SONET/SDH | STS-192/STM-64 | OTU2 | 10,709,225 | 10,037,629 | 12.191 | ± 20 |
| Ethernet/Fibre Channel | 10GBASE-R/10GFC | OTU2e | 11,095,727 | 10,356,012 | 11.766 | ±100 |
| SONET/SDH/Ethernet | STS-768/STM-256/Transcoded40GBASE-R | OTU3 | 43,018,413 | 40,150,519 | 3.034 | ±20 |
| Ethernet | Up to 410GBASE-R | OTU3e2 | 44,583,355 | 41,611,131 | 2.928 | ±20 |
| Ethernet | 100GBASE-R | OTU4 | 111,809,973 | 100,376,298 | 1.167 | ±20 |
Unlike SDH/SONET, the line rate is increased by maintaining the G.709 frame structure (4 rows x 4080 columns) and decreasing the frame period (in SDH/SONET the frame structure is increased and the frame period of 125 μs is maintained).
