OTN
 OTN （ Optical Transport Network ）
 An Optical Transport Network (OTN) is composed of a set
of Optical Network Elements connected by optical fiber l
inks, able to provide functionality of transport, multip
lexing, routing, management, supervision and survivabili
ty of client signals, according to the requirements give
n in Rec. G.872
Features of OTN
 Compared with SDH and SONET ：
 Ultra capacity with high accuracy, Terabit/second per fiber
via DWDM lines
 Service transparency for client signals
 Asynchronous mapping, powerful FEC function, predigest
network design and reduce the cost
 Compared with traditional WDM
 Enhanced OAM & networking functionality for all services
 Dynamically electrical/optical layer grooming

Maintenance signals
 FDI （ forward defect indication ）
 FDI is a signal sent downstream as an indication that an upstream defect has been
detected.
 An FDI signal is detected in a trail termination sink function to suppress defects or
failures that would otherwise be detected as a consequence of the interruption of
the transport of the original signal at an upstream point..
 AIS and FDI are similar signals. AIS is used as term when the signal is in the
digital domain. FDI is used as the term when the signal is in the optical domain.
 FDI is transported as non associated overhead in the OTM overhead signal (OOS).
Maintenance signals
 AIS （ alarm indication signal ）
 AIS is a signal sent downstream as an indication that an upstream
defect has been detected. An AIS signal is generated in an adaptation
sink function
 An AIS signal is detected in a trail termination sink function to
suppress defects or failures that would otherwise be detected as a
consequence of the interruption of the transport of the original signal
at an upstream point.

Questions
 What kinds of the components the OTM-n.m have?
 OTSn, OMSn, OCh, OTUk/OTUkV, ODUk, OPUk
 What’s the difference with the BIP-8 byte function a

mong SM, PM, TCMi ?
 All of them the BIP-8 is computed over the bits in the OPUk
(columns 15 to 3824) area, but for different layers on OTUk
, ODUkP, ODUKT.
 How many types of the TCM applications we have?

 Nested, cascaded and overlapping
