  • Author: Mai Abou-Shaban
Ethernet traffic growth across metropolitan and core optical networks is forcing service providers to consider new approaches to efficiently and cost-effectively transmit Ethernet and other data services over a common optical transport network (OTN). Over-clocked OTN is a recently adopted technology that is gaining popularity for its ability to transport 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) LAN services over OTN (as per ITU-T series G supplement 43). In order to map 10 GbE LAN services over optical networks, over-clocked OTN automatically increases the payload rate from the standard 10.709 Gbit/s to either 11.0491Gbit/s (OTU1e) or 11.0957 Gbit/s (OTU2e) to match the 10 GbE LAN client signal.
