    Servers in Optical Transport Networks

    An optical transport network (OTN) is a digital wrapper that encapsulates frames of data, to allow multiple data sources to be sent on the same channel. This creates an optical virtual private network for each client signal. ITU-T defines an optical transport network as a set of optical network elements (ONE) connected by optical fiber links, able to provide functionality of transport, multiplexing, swit. EquipmentAt a very high level, the typical signals processed by OTN equipment at the Optical Channel layer are: • SONET/SDH• Ethernet/FibreChannel• Packets. • - Details of all OTN areas including breakdown of the full frame Anritsu Poster - Details of all OTN areas including breakdown of the full frame at the Wayback Machine (archived 2014-05-17)•.
