This application note provides an overview of the main tests that should be conducted to ensure the optimum performance of P-OTNs. For network service providers considering new approaches for transmitting various data types over a common network infrastructure, the integrated packet optical transport networks (P-OTNs) can be the answer. Built upon the ITU-T’s optical transport network (OTN) standards and supporting the reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) functionality, P-OTNs efficiently and cost-effectively provision, transport and manage legacy TDM and data-packet services over the same infrastructure
