Enhanced Network Performance with G.709 OTN
G.709 OTN provides a digital wrapper that enables efficient multiplexing, provisioning, and switching of packet-oriented, high bandwidth optical services and offers integrated 1+1 50ms facility protection and an in-band General Communication Channel (GCC). G.975 Forward Error Correction (FEC) improves the optical link budget by providing a proactive method to correct errors at the receiver and thereby also reduces regeneration requirements, limiting network costs. Leveraging the Reed-Solomon RS (255/239) coding technique allows correction of up to eight bytes per codeword. BTI utilizes the General Communications Channel (GCC0) byte in the OTN frame overhead to provide in-band management communications.
