Two optical rates are provided: 11.0957 Gbits/s, +/- 100 ppm, designated OTU2e 11.0491 Gbits/s, +/- 100 ppm, designated OTU1e The OTU2e uses the mapping scheme of CBR10G into OPU2 as defined in G.709.
Glossary 10G Ethernet Client The following figure presents a typical network application.
Glossary 10G Ethernet Client The following figure presents a typical test application. The Ethernet layer provides the equivalent functionality of the BERT Framed Layer 2 Test application supported on EXFO’s Datacom product family with the particularity that there is no Ethernet Physical port as such. The Ethernet frame has its Ethertype field set to 0x88B7.
Glossary 1588 PTP 1588 PTP The goal of the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is to provide Network Synchronization using a packet based distribution mechanism. Depending on the system application the Network Synchronization may require phase and frequency synchronization. 1588 PTP has the capability to deliver both by allowing a Client clock to track a Master clock in phase (time of day) and in frequency. The protocol is based on exchange of time stamps between the Master clock and the Client clock.
Glossary 1588 PTP Peer Delay mechanism uses message Pdelay Request, Pdelay Response, and if required Pdelay Response Follow Up. This mechanism is restricted to topologies where each peer-to-peer port communicates PTP messages with, at most, one other such port. Peer Delay is not supported by the Telecom Profile. In order to minimize traffic on the network, PTP can operate in different modes: Two-way operation uses Sync/Follow Up, Delay Request, and Delay Response messages.
Glossary 1588 PTP The 1588 PTP supports the following Master/Client communication; however Unicast is used for the Telocom Profile. Multicast: A Master clock sends its Sync/Follow Up and Delay Response in a multicast mode. A Client can collect information from many Master clocks and select the Master clock that is best suited for its application. Unicast: A dedicated communication link is established between the Master and the Client clock.
Glossary 1588 PTP If the Master Clock has sufficient capacity to handle the Client Clock request, it responds with a signaling message containing a GRANT UNICAST TRANSMISSION TLV. The REQUEST UNICAST TRANSMISSION TLV contains several parameters: messageType is the type of service being requested: Announce, Sync, or Delay Response. durationField is the duration of the requested service: 300 seconds by default and configurable from 60 to 1000 seconds.
Glossary 1588 PTP The following diagram shows the sequence of message exchange between a Client Clock and a Master Clock. First, the Client request Unicast Announce message service. When this is granted and the first Announce message is received, the Client can check the QL value conveyed in the clockClass field of the message. From there the Client Clock can request service for Sync and Delay Request messages.
Glossary Ethernet Cables Ethernet Cables Minimum Category 3 cable is required for 10Base-T connection while Category 5 cable is required for 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T connections. Maximum cable length (between two nodes) for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T connection is 328 feet (100 meters). Straight Through Cable (10/100 Mbit/s) An Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) straight through cable is required to connect a 10Base-T/100Base-TX NetBlazer port to a layer 1 or 2 device (ex: HUB, switch).

Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Overview The optical transport network (OTN) combines the benefits of SONET/SDH technology with the bandwidth expansion capabilities offered by dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) technology.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Each of these layers and their functions are distributed along the network and activated when they reach their termination points, which are illustrated in the following figure. OTN Layer Termination Points The termination of the OTS, OMS and OCh layers is performed at the optical level of the OTN. It is at the termination of the OTU layer that further functionality can be added.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) The OTU, ODU (including the ODU tandem connection) and OPU layers can all be analyzed and monitored. As per ITU G.709, current test solutions offer these possibilities using the following line rates: OTU1 (255/238 x 2.488 320 Gbit/s ≈ 2.666057143 Gbit/s) also referred to as 2.7 Gbit/s OTU2 (255/237 x 9.953280 Gbit/s ≈ 10.709225316 Gbit/s) also referred to as 10.7 Gbit/s OTU3 (255/236 x 39.813120 Gbit/s ≈ 43.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) In order to map client signals via ITU G.709, they are encapsulated using the structure illustrated in the following figure.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) As depicted above, to create an OTU frame, a client signal rate is first adapted at the OPU layer. The adaptation consists of adjusting the client signal rate to the OPU rate. Its overhead contains information to support the adaptation of the client signal. Once adapted, the OPU is mapped into the ODU. The ODU maps the OPU and adds the overhead necessary to ensure end-to-end supervision and tandem connection monitoring (up to six levels).
Glossary G.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Framing The OTU framing is divided into two portions: FAS and MFAS. The frame alignment signal (FAS) uses the first six bytes and, similarly to SONET/SDH, it is used to provide framing for the entire signal. In order to provide enough 1/0 transitions for synchronization, scrambling is used over the entire OTU frame, except for the FAS bytes. The multiframe alignment signal (MFAS) byte is used to extend command and management functions over several frames.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical Transport Unit (OTU) The OTU overhead is comprised of the SM, GCC0 and RES bytes. The section monitoring (SM) bytes are used for the trail trace identifier (TTI), parity (BIP-8) and the backward error indicator (BEI), or backward incoming alignment error (BIAE), backward defect indicator (BDI), and incoming alignment error (IAE). The TTI is distributed over the multiframe and is 64 bytes in length. It is repeated four times over the multiframe.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical Data Unit (ODU) The ODU overhead is broken into several fields: RES, PM, TCMi, TCM ACT, FTFL, EXP, GCC1/GCC2 and APS/PCC. The reserved (RES) bytes are undefined and are set aside for future applications. The path monitoring (PM) field is similar to the SM field described above. It contains the TTI, BIP-8, BEI, BDI and Status (STAT) field. There are six tandem connection monitoring (TCMi) fields, which contain the BEI/BIAE, BDI and STAT fields.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical Payload Unit (OPU) The primary overhead field associated to the OPU is the Payload Structure Identifier (PSI). This is a 256 bytes multi-frame where its first byte is defined as the Payload Type (PT). The remaining 255 bytes are currently reserved. The other fields in the OPU overhead are dependent on the mapping and concatenation capabilities associated to the OPU.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Tandem Connection Monitoring (TCM) TCM enables the user and its signal carriers to monitor the quality of the traffic that is transported between segments or connections in the network. SONET/SDH allowed a single level of TCM to be configured, while ITU G.709 allows six levels of tandem connection monitoring to be configured. The assignment of monitored connections is currently a manual process that involves an understanding between the different parties.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Each of the six TCMi fields in the ODU overhead is assigned to a monitored connection. There can be from zero to six connections that can be configured for each connection. In the figure Tandem Connection Monitoring on page 555, there are three different connections that are actually monitored. Carrier C, due to its location, can monitor three TCM levels as the ODU passes through its portion of the network.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) The FEC uses a Reed-Solomon RS (255/239) coding technique. This means that 239 bytes are required to compute a 16-byte parity check. The FEC can correct up to eight (bytes) errors per sub-row (codeword) or detect up to 16 byte errors without correcting any. Combined with the byte interleave capability included in ITU G.709 implementation, the FEC is more resilient in regards to error burst, where up to 128 consecutive bytes can be corrected per OTU frame row.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) ODU Multiplexing The ODU multiplexer is a function that allows the multiplexing of ODU tributary signals into higher OTN signal rates. The G.709 standard supports 2 types of ODU multiplexer which can be classified as follows: Legacy architecture is based on multi-stage architecture to bring an ODUk client to a higher OTN interface rate. This multiplexer is identified by Payload Type 20 (PT 20).
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) The main attributes of the ODU multiplexer functionality are as follows: NetBlazer The Asynchronous Mapping Procedure (AMP) is used for multiplexing the tributary signals; this method uses a modified Justification Control mechanism which has 2 positive Justification Control bytes and one negative Justification Control byte.
Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) ODUflex ODUflex provides the capability to carry client payload of variable size with a container size of 1.244 Gbit/s granularity. An ODUflex (L) signal can be transported once multiplexed in an ODUk (H) signal, the multiplexer in this case handles tributary slots of 1.244 Gbit/s and has a Payload Type 21. The ODUflex function can be used to transport 2 signal categories mapped in ODTUk.

Glossary SONET/SDH SONET Numbering Convention The FTB-700G/800 Series supports the Timeslot (default) and hierarchical two-level numbering conventions as per GR-253. Hierarchical Notation: The FTB-700G/800 Series supports numbering SONET high order path STS-1s and STS-3c using the two-level “STS-3#,STS-1#”convention in an OC-N. For example: STS-1 [2,3]. The FTB-700G/800 Series supports numbering SONET low order path using the two-level “VTGroup#,VT#” convention for numbering VTs within an STS-1.
Glossary SONET/SDH The FTB-700G/800 Series supports numbering SONET high order path STS-nc within an OC-N using the two-level “STS-3#,STS-1#”. For example: STS-12c [5,1]. Note: For STS-1e the numbering is limited to the A value as only one STS-1 exits. SDH Numbering Convention As per ITU G.707, the high order paths are defined using a 2 to 5 level convention E,D,C,B,A depending on the rate of the STM-n used.
Glossary SONET/SDH [0] for AU-4 in STM-1 [A] for AU-3 in STM-1 [A] for the AU-3 in STM-0e, A=0. The low order paths are defined using a 2 or 3 level convention K,L,M depending on the rate of the AU-4 or AU-3 used to multiplex the low order signals.
Glossary SONET/SDH NetBlazer L: the TUG-2 are numbered within the TUG-3 0 or from 1 to 7 M: the TU-2, TU-12, TU-11 are numbered within the TUG-2 1, 1 to 3, 1 to 4 respectively 569
Glossary SONET/SDH Examples for AU-4 (3 level convention) TU-3: [K,0,0] TU-2: [K,L,0] TU-12:[K,L,M] where M = 1 to 3 TU-11:[K,L,M] where M = 1 to 4 Example for AU-3 (2 level convention) TU-2: [L,0] TU-12: [L,M] M is numbered 1 to 3 TU-11: [L,M] M is numbered 1 to 4 The GUI Grid indicates the TUG-2 [x] and TUG-3 [x] values.
Glossary SONET/SDH DSn/PDH Numbering Convention The DS1 numbering in DS3 shall be numbered with respect to the DS2 muxing [DS2,DS1]. For example a DS3 has 7 DS2 and a DS2 has 4 DS1, so an example would be for a DS1 number [3,2]. The DS3 shall have a single number to represent its position. That is [1] all the time whether it is used in an STS-1 or it is the DS3 electrical interface. The PDH do not have special grouping of the E1, E2, E3 or E4. This means that the PDH has a single number.
Glossary SyncE SyncE Synchronous Ethernet or SyncE enables a traceable network timing reference frequency to be distributed node-by-node across a chain of Ethernet devices (SyncE compliant devices only). The network timing reference is typically hierarchically traceable to a Primary Reference Source/Clock (PRS/PRC) in a unidirectional flow. Any node in the chain not compliant to SyncE automatically terminates the synchronization propagation but this does not impact the flow of traffic.
Glossary SyncE In order for an Ethernet interface to be considered Synchronous Ethernet compliant it needs to be upgraded as shown in the following diagram. In addition to supporting the ESMC channel, this upgrade consists in allowing the recovered clock from the CDR to be propagated to a function called the Ethernet Equipment Clock (EEC).
Glossary Unicast/Multicast Addresses for S-OAM Unicast/Multicast Addresses for S-OAM Unicast or multicast address can be used for most of S-OAM functions. Unicast addresses a unique destination address of the MEP. Multicast Class 1 addresses all MEPs in the MEG. The address value is 01-80-C2-00-00-3x, where x represents the MEG/MD Level.
