The optical transport network (OTN) was created with the intention of combining the benefi ts of SONET/SDH technology with the bandwidth expansion capabilities offered by dense wavelengthdivision multiplexing (DWDM) technology. Today, OTN is not only used in core networks to transport high-speed rates of 10, 40 and 100 Gbit/s, it is also starting to be used in edge networks.
