Re: Span Definition

["Diego Caviglia" <Diego.Caviglia@marconi.com>]

Hi Marteen ,
                you're right, thank you for your clarification.
Thus accordingly to your mail the Optical Link definition become:

 Optical   Link   "An   Optical  Link  consist  of  a number of channels between
two adjacent 3R regeneration sites"
An Optical Link is what in ITU-T is called Och

Regards.

Diego.

Diego,

3R regeneration sites are in the OTN (G.872, G.709, G.798) represented
by the OCh termination point; i.e. when the OCh signal is terminated 3R
processing is performed including section monitoring (OTUk or OTUkV
termination).
The OMS termination point is not associated with 3R processing. It is
only involved with optical multiplexing/demultiplexing (OCh signals are
muxed/demuxed here) and termination of the OMS trail (OMSn_TT and
OMSn/OCh_A functions). For more information on functionality of the OTN
atomic functions you can have a look at draft G.798 version 0.8.1 at
ftp://sg15opticalt:otxchange@ftp.itu.int/tsg15opticaltransport/wp3/q9/g798/g798v0_8_1.pdf


You can see the allocation of OTSn, OMSn, OCh, OTUk, etc also depicted
in slide 15 of the following OTN/G.709 presentation

Maarten
