Operation and Maintenance of Optical Transport Networks
Described in the ITU-T Recommendation G. 709 (2003), OTN adds operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) functionality to optical carriers, specifically in a multi-wavelength system such as dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). The complexity and heterogeneity of modern optical transport networks (OTNs) demand advanced solutions to enhance their operation and maintenance. This paper presents lessons learned from the design and implementation of a digital twin network (DTN) tailored to network operators' requirements. Since the 1980s, synchronous optical network(ing)/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) has met these needs by providing protection and performance monitoring while supporting a flexible and transparent mix of traffic protocols including Internet Protocol (IP), Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and. ogies, mesh, ring, and point to point.
