The OTN technology deployed over the past years brings advantages, but there are increasing limitations due to the lack of flexibility in the network, specifically related to the fixed-transport containers. The issue with the legacy OTN structure is that the ‘fixed container’ causes constraints for service providers, where available space in a container is neither usable nor flexible. Clearly, wasting transport space is unproductive. With the introduction of ODU0 and ODUflex comes greater efficiency and bandwidth for carriers to unleash the potential of their existing networks and to be more competitive, reaping the benefits of value-added services and increasing revenue.
