PROPOSTA DE ARQUITETURA OTN SWITCH SEGUNDO AS RECOMENDAÇÕES ITU-T

This paper presents an architecture proposal for OTN Switch equipment, focusing on functionality provided by ITU-T Recommendations, especially the ITU-T G.798. It explores the main features of OTN Switch: multiplexing and switching of signals in optical and electrical domains. These features make the OTN more flexible and dynamic, approaching it to the next generation transport networks. It is presented a preliminary simulation of the proposed architecture using a simulation framework for OTN networks developed using the OMNeT++ simulator.
