Redes de transporte ptico

Las redes de transporte ptico, (en ingls Optical Transport Network, OTN) son un conjunto de elementos de red pticos conectados mediante fibra ptica, capaces de proveer transporte, multiplexacin, enrutado, gestin y supervisin de las seales pticas. 1 [editar]Referencias

Red de Transporte ptico (Optical Transport Networks - OTN) segn la norma G.709 permitir que los operadores preparen el terreno para una infraestructura de red de servicios mltiples optimizada en trfico IP.

El valor de la OTN

Las recomendaciones ITU-T G.872, G.709 y G.798 definen las Redes de Transporte ptica (OTN) o Jerarquas de Transporte ptico (OTH) como la nueva generacin de tecnologas de transmisin digital.

Basada en el protocolo G.709, la tecnologa OTN se est extendiendo ms all del dominio elctrico de transicin para el transporte digital, y se est convirtiendo rpidamente en un marco estndar para gestionar seales tanto elctricas como pticas.

En otras palabras, impulsando longitudes de onda pticas, la tecnologa OTN ha permitido la transformacin de las Redes de Transporte bsicas en redes pticas reales de mltiples longitudes de onda.

Los beneficios de la tecnologa OTN son los siguientes:

Mejora la transparencia y sincronizacin del servicio por medio del uso del recubridor digital G.709. Ofrece cross-conectividad Terabit Gbps por path y Tbps por fibra. Su FEC fuera de banda mejora el rendimiento del transporte. Ofrece cross-conectividad sub-lambda ODU XC y grooming de trfico

 Permite monitoreo de desempeo ODU de extremo a extremo, deteccin de degradacin y fallas Permite gestin tanto en banda como fuera de banda Cuenta con capacidades de operacin, administracin y mantenimiento Ofrece ms opciones de proteccin y CoS que las soluciones anteriores. Permite agregar encabezados a lambda y multi-lambda en la gestin OTS, OMS, Och. Ofrece internetworking a nivel de gestin y control fsico estandarizado

La OTN tambin ofrece otras ventajas en comparacin con las alternativas SDH/SONET. Como ejemplos especficos se puede mencionar: FEC fuera de banda, informacin completamente transparente sobre el servicio y la sincronizacin y grandes capacidades de conmutacin y transporte ~Tbps.

La diversidad de granularidad de conmutacin superior de la OTN sobre SDH asegura mayor efectividad y menores costos cuando se utiliza en servicios IP de banda ancha.

Optical Transport Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ITU-T defines an Optical Transport Network (OTN) as a set of Optical Network Elements (ONE) connected by optical fiber links, able to provide functionality of transport, multiplexing, switching, management, supervision and survivability of optical channels carrying client signals.[1] An ONE may Retime, Re-Amplify, Re-shape (3R) but it does not have to be 3R it can be purely photonic.

[edit]Standards
OTN was designed to provide support for optical networking using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) unlike its predecessor SONET/SDH. ITU-T Recommendation G.709 is commonly called Optical Transport Network (OTN) (also called digital wrapper technology or optical channel wrapper). As of December 2009 OTN has standardized the following line rates.

Signal

Approximate data rate (Gbit/s)

Applications

OTU1

2.66

Transports SONET OC-48 or synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) STM16 signal

OTU2

10.70

Transports an OC-192, STM-64 or wide area network (WAN) physical layer (PHY) for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-W)

OTU2e 11.09

Transports a 10 Gigabit Ethernet local area network (LAN) PHY coming from IP/Ethernet switches and routers at full line rate (10.3 Gbit/s). This is specified in G.Sup43.

OTU3

43.01

Transports an OC-768 or STM-256 signal or a 40 Gigabit Ethernet signal.[2]

OTU3e2 44.58

Transports up to four OTU2e signals

OTU4

112

Transports a 100 Gigabit Ethernet signal

The OTUk (k=1/2/2e/3/3e2/4) is an information structure into which another information structure called ODUk (k=1/2/2e/3/3e2/4) is mapped. The ODUk signal is the server layer signal for client signals. The following ODUk information structures are defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.709

At a very high level the typical signals that OTN equipment at the Optical Channel layer processes are:

OTN SONET/SDH

Ethernet/FibreChannel Packets

A few of the key functions performed on these signals are:

Protocol processing of all the signals . Some of the more complex processes are:

Forward error correction (FEC) on OTN signals Multiplexing and de-multiplexing of OTN signals Mapping and de-mapping of non-OTN signals into and out of OTN signals

Packet processing in conjunction with mapping/de-mapping of packet into and out of OTN signals

[edit]Switch

fabric

The OTN signals at all data-rates have the same frame structure but the frame period reduces as the data-rate increases. As a result, the Time-Slot Interchange (TSI) technique of implementing SONET/SDH switch fabrics is not directly applicable to OTN switch fabrics. OTN switch fabrics are typically implemented using Packet Switch Fabrics.

[edit]FEC

Latency

On a point-to-point OTN link there is latency due to forward error correction (FEC) processing.
