• End to end Service realized in the form of multiple segments • Client to wavelength mapping • No end-to-end service management (only possibility is to examine the

client signal at various points along the circuit)

Tandem Connection Monitoring

OTN Network A

OTN Network B

OTN Network A

ODU Connection monitored within B (TCM1)

ODU Connection monitored within A (TCM2)

• TCM1 & TCM2 being monitored concurrently • Network operators need to agree on the TCM layers to use (no dynamic allocation

of TCM layers to domains) • Allows arbitrary nesting of TCM layers (subject to layer availability) • ODU frame includes Overhead (OH) for 6 TCM layers

TCM layer Used for: - Connectivity Verification, PM, Protection/Restoration triggers

Tandem Connection Monitoring (TCM) Segment Protection/Restoration

OTN Network A

ODU Connection monitored within B (TCM1)

ODU Connection monitored within A (TCM2)

• detects the problem with the working path

• Knows the problem is in their domain

• Switches to the protection path

NE at the edge of Network B

• Gets (data plane) notification of defect in working path

• Uses hold-off timer to prevent initiating switchover (i.e. allow the nested protection attempt to succeed)

NE at the edge of network A (near CPE)

Control Plane in Optical Networks

Auto discovery of topology

Route computation

Point-and-click provisioning

Service restoration

• RSVP-TE signaling protocol for dynamic provisioning of paths • Speeds service delivery from A to Z

• OSPF-TE discovers topology & bandwidth • Dynamically advertised as changes occur

• Source-based CSPF circuit routing • Traffic engineering for explicit routing control

• Mesh restoration of multiple failures. Efficient use of bandwidth

Automated control plane for DWDM & OTN

17

ODUflex Applications

• Stop the proliferation of ODU containers • Suited to CBR signals of arbitrary rates,

• e.g. map 8GFC into ODUflex, NOT 8GFC to ODU2

• ODU2e used to map 10GBASE-R signal is not called ODUflex (but can be considered the first ODUflex)

• No need for deskew buffers required to support ODU VCAT

• New use for ODUflex • Packet Traffic – rates not coupled to that of

the physical interface (logical flows) • Uses GFP-F encapsulation for packets • ODUflex rate is N x (TS in HO-OPUk)
