OTN Wrapper Overview
Optical Transport Network (OTN) Wrapper feature provides robust transport services that leverage many of
the benefits such as resiliency and performance monitoring, while adding enhanced multi-rate capabilities in
support of packet traffic, plus the transparency required by Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)
networks. OTN is the ideal technology to bridge the gap between next generation IP and legacy Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM) networks by acting as a converged transport layer for newer packet-based and existing
TDM services. OTN is defined in ITU G.709 and allows network operators to converge networks through
seamless transport of the numerous types of legacy protocols, while providing the flexibility required to
support future client protocols.
OTN Wrapper feature is supported on the following interface modules:
• 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module (8x10GE) (A900-IMA8Z) (NCS4200-8T-PS) - The
encapsulation type is OTU1e and OTU2e.
• 2-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP Interface Module (2x40GE) (A900-IMA2F) (NCS4200-2Q-P) - The
encapsulation type is OTU3.
• 1-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module (1X100GE) (NCS4200-1H-PK) (A900-IMA1C) - The
encapsulation type is OTU4.
The chassis acts as an aggregator for ethernet, TDM, and SONET traffic to connect to an OTN network and
vice versa. The ports on the interface modules are capable of OTN functionality. The OTN controller mode
enables the IPoDWDM technology in the interface modules. The OTN Wrapper encapsulates 10G LAN, 40G
LAN, and 100G LAN into the corresponding OTU1e or OTU2e, OTU3, and OTU4 containers, respectively.
This enables the ports of the interface modules to work in layer 1 optical mode in conformance with standard
G.709.

OTN Frame
The key sections of the OTN frame are the Optical Channel Transport Unit (OTU) overhead section, Optical
Channel Data Unit (ODU) overhead section, Optical Channel Payload Unit (OPU) overhead section, OPU
payload section, and Forward Error Correction (FEC) overhead section . The network routes these OTN frames
across the network in a connection-oriented way. The Overhead carries the information required to identify,
control and manage the payload, which maintains the deterministic quality. The Payload is simply the data
transported across the network, while the FEC corrects errors when they arrive at the receiver. The number
of correctable errors depends on the FEC type.

Advantages of OTN
The following are the advantages of OTN:
• Provides multi-layer performance monitoring and enhanced maintenance capability for signals traversing
multi-operator networks.
• Allows Forward Error Correction (FEC) to improve the system performance.
• Provides enhanced alarm handling capability.
• Insulates the network against uncertain service mix by providing transparent native transport of signals
encapsulating all client-management information.
• Performs multiplexing for optimum capacity utilization, thereby improving network efficiency.
• Enables network scalability as well as support for dedicated Ethernet services with service definitions.
ODU and OTU

Optical Channel Transport Unit (OTU) and Optical Channel Data Unit (ODU) are the two digital layer
networks. All client signals are mapped into the optical channel via the ODU and OTU layer networks.
OTU
The OTU section is composed of two main sections: the Frame Alignment section and the Section Monitoring
(SM) section. The OTU Overhead (OH) provides the error detection correction as well as section-layer
connection and monitoring functions on the section span. The OTU OH also includes framing bytes, enabling
receivers to identify frame boundaries. For more information, see G.709 document.
ODU
The ODU section is an internal element allowing mapping or switching between different rates, which is
important in allowing operators the ability to understand how the end user pipe is transferred through to the
higher network rates. The ODU OH contains path overhead bytes allowing the ability to monitor the
performance, fault type and location, generic communication, and six levels of channel protection based on
Tandem Connection Monitoring (TCM). For more information, see G.709 document.
Deriving OTU1e and OTU2e Rates

A standard OTN frame consists of 255 16-column blocks and the payload rate is 9953280 Kbit/s. This is
because the overhead and stuffing in the OTN frames happen at a granularity of 16-column blocks. Thus,
OPU payload occupies (3824-16)/16=238 blocks. The ODU occupies 239 blocks and the OTU (including
FEC) occupies 255 blocks. Hence, the multiplication factor in the G.709 spec is specified using numbers like
237, 238, 255.
Since OPU2e uses 16 columns that are reserved for stuffing and also for payload, the effective OPU2e frequency
is:

3
OTU1e and OTU 2e Support on 8x10GE Interface Module
• OPU2e = 238/237 x 10312500 Kbit/s = 10.356012 Gbit/s

• ODU2e = 239/237 x 10312500 Kbit/s = 10.399525 Gbit/s
• OTU2e = 255/237 x 10312500 Kbit/s = 11.095727 Gbit/s
Since OPU1e uses 16 columns that are reserved for stuffing and also for payload, the effective OPU1e frequency
is:
• OPU1e = 238/238 x 10312500 Kbit/s = 10.3125 Gbit/s
• ODU1e = 239/238 x 10312500 Kbit/s = 10.355829 Gbit/s
• OTU1e = 255/238 x 10312500 Kbit/s = 11.049107 Gbit/s
OTU1e and OTU 2e Support on 8x10GE Interface Module

The OTU1e and OTU2e are mapping mechanisms to map a client 10G Base-R signal to OTN frames
transparently as per ITU-T G series Supplement 43 specification. Both these modes are over-clocked OTN
modes. These mechanisms provide real bit transparency of 10 GbE LAN signals and are useful for deployment
of 10G services.
The OTU1e and OTU2e are inherently intra-domain interfaces (IaDI) and are generally applicable only to a
single vendor island within an operator's network to enable the use of unique optical technology. The OTU1e
and OTU2e are not standard G.709 bit-rate signals and they do not interwork with the standard mappings of
Ethernet using GFP-F. These two over-clocked mechanisms do not interwork with each other. As a result,
such signals are only deployed in a point-to-point configuration between equipment that implements the same
mapping.
The standard 10 GbE LAN has a data rate of 10.3125 Gbps. In the OTU1e and OTU2e mapping schemes, the
full 10.3125 Gbit/s is transported including the 64B/66B coded information, IPG, MAC FCS, preamble,
start-of-frame delimiter (SFD) and the ordered sets (to convey fault information). So, the effective OTU2e
and OTU1e rates are:
• OTU1e: 11.0491 Gbits/s +/- 100ppm
• OTU2e: 11.0957 Gbits/s +/- 100ppm
The 10GBase-R client signal with fixed stuff bytes is accommodated into an OPU-like signal, then into an
ODU-like signal, and further into an OTU-like signal. These signals are denoted as OPU2e, ODU2e and
OTU2e, respectively . The OTU1e does not add 16 columns of fixed stuff bytes and hence overall data rate
is relatively lesser at 11.0491 Gbps as compared to OTU2e which is 11.0957 Gbps.
The following table shows the standard OTU rates:

OTU3 Support in 2x40GE Interface Module

When 40GbE LAN is transported over OTN, there is no drop in line rate when the LAN client is mapped into
the OPU3 using the standard CBR40G mapping procedure as specified in G.709 clause 17.2.3. The 40G
Ethernet signal (41.25 Gbit/s) uses 64B/66B coding making it slightly larger than the OPU3 payload rate that
is 40.15 Gbit/s. Hence, to transport 40G Ethernet service over ODU3, the 64B/66B blocks are transcoded into
1024B/1027B block code to reduce their size. The resulting 40.117 Gbit/s transcoded stream is then mapped
in standard OPU3.
OTU4 Support on 1-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module

(1X100GE)
A 100G ethernet client signal running at 103.125 Gbit/s rate can be mapped directly into an OPU4 payload
area.
Supported Transceivers
The OTN wrapper feature works with the standard transceiver types that are supported for the LAN mode of
10G, 40G and 100G on the interface modules. The SFP-10G-LR-X, QSFP-40G-LR4, and CPAK-100G-SR10
are used for 8x10GE, 2x40GE, and 1X100GE interface modules, respectively.

Loopback
Loopback
Loopback provides a means for remotely testing the throughput of an Ethernet port on the router. You can
verify the maximum rate of frame transmission with no frame loss. Two types of loopback is supported:
• Internal Loopback - All packets are looped back internally within the router before reaching an external
cable. It tests the internal Rx to Tx path and stops the traffic to egress out from the Physical port.
• Line Loopback - Incoming network packets are looped back through the external cable.

Forward Error Connection

Forward error correction (FEC) is a method of obtaining error control in data transmission in which the source
(transmitter) sends redundant data and the destination (receiver) recognizes only the portion of the data that
contains no apparent errors. FEC groups source packets into blocks and applies protection to generate a desired
number of repair packets. These repair packets may be sent on demand or independently of any receiver
feedback.
Standard FEC is supported on 8x10GE and 2x40GE interface modules.
The packets that can be corrected by FEC are known as Error Corrected Packets. The packets that cannot be
corrected by FEC due to enhanced bit errors are known as Uncorrected Packets.
Benefits of FEC
The following are the benefits of FEC:
• FEC reduces the number of transmission errors, extends the operating range, and reduces the power
requirements for communications systems.
• FEC increases the effective systems throughput.
• FEC supports correction of bit errors occurring due to impairments in the transmission medium.

Trail Trace Identifier

The Trail Trace Identifier (TTI) is a 64-Byte signal that occupies one byte of the frame and is aligned with
the OTUk multiframe. It is transmitted four times per multiframe. TTI is defined as a 64-byte string with the
following structure:
• TTI [0] contains the Source Access Point Identifier (SAPI) [0] character, which is fixed to all-0s.
• TTI [1] to TTI [15] contain the 15-character source access point identifier (SAPI[1] to SAPI[15]).
• TTI [16] contains the Destination Access Point Identifier (DAPI) [0] character, which is fixed to all-0s.
• TTI [17] to TTI [31] contain the 15-character destination access point identifier (DAPI [1] to DAPI [15]).
• TTI [32] to TTI [63] are operator specific.
TTI Mismatch
TTI mismatch occurs when you have enabled path trace and the "received string" is different from the "expected
string". This alarm condition stops traffic.
When TTI mismatch occurs, the interface is brought to down state. This is only supported for SAPI and DAPI
and is not supported for User Operator Data field.
Configuring TTI
To configure TTI:
enable
configure terminal
shutdown
g709 tti-processing enable
no shutdown
end
Trace Identifier Mismatch (TIM) is reported in the Detected Alarms where there is a mismatch in the expected
and received string. Action on detection of TIM can be configured in ODU and OTU layers as follows:
enable
configure terminal
shutdown
g709 tti-processing enable otu

SNMP Support
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that provides a message
format for communication between SNMP managers and agents. SNMP provides a standardized framework
and a common language that is used for monitoring and managing devices in a network.
SNMP sets are not supported for the following tables:
• coiIfControllerTable
• coiOtnNearEndThresholdsTable
• coiOtnFarEndThresholdsTable
• coiFECThresholdsTable
Refer to CISCO-OTN-IF-MIB and SNMP Configuration Guide for SNMP support.

23
Performance Monitoring
Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds for,
and report performance data for early detection of problems. Thresholds are used to set error levels for each
PM parameter. During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a performance monitoring parameter
reaches or exceeds its corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is generated. The TCAs
provide early detection of performance degradation. PM statistics are accumulated on a 15-minute basis,
synchronized to the start of each quarter-hour. Historical counts are maintained for 33 15-minutes intervals
and 2 daily intervals. PM parameters are collected for OTN and FEC.
Calculation and accumulation of the performance-monitoring data is in 15-minute and 24-hour intervals.
PM parameters require the errored ratio to be less than the standard reference that is dependent on the
encapsulation. If any loss or error event does not happen within a second, it is called an error free second. If
some error in transmission or alarm happens in a second, the second is called Errored Second. The error is
termed as Errored Second or Severely Errored Second or Unavailable Second depending upon the nature of
error. The error calculation depends on the Errored Blocks. Errored second is a second where one BIP error
or BEI error occurs. Severely Errored Second occurs when the errored frames crosses a threshold or there is
an alarm is generated. Unavaliable Second occurs when there are 10 consecutive severely errored seconds.
Figure 3: Performance Monitoring
PM occurs in near end and far end for both encapsulations for ODUk and OTUk. ODU is referred as Path
Monitoring (PM) and OTU is referred to as Section Monitoring (SM).
The following table shows the details of each type of PM parameter for OTN:

OTUk Section Monitoring

Section Monitoring (SM) overhead for OTUk is terminated as follows:
• TTI
• BIP
• BEI
• BDI
• IAE
• BIAE
BIP and BEI counters are block error counters (block size equal to OTUk frame size). The counters can be
read periodically by a PM thread to derive one second performance counts. They are sufficiently wide for
software to identify a wrap-around with up to 1.5 sec between successive readings.
The following OTUk level defects are detected:
• dAIS
• dTIM
• dBDI

26
ODUk Path Monitoring
• dIAE
• dBIAE
Status of the defects is available through CPU readable registers, and a change of status of dLOF, dLOM, and
dAIS will generate an interruption.
ODUk Path Monitoring

Path Monitoring (PM) overhead for higher order ODUk and lower order ODUk is processed as follows:
• TTI
• BIP
• BEI
• BDI
• STAT including ODU LCK/OCI/AIS
The following ODUk defects are detected:

• dTIM
• dLCK and dAIS (from STAT field)
• dBDI
LOS, OTU LOF, OOF and ODU-AIS alarms bring down the interface in system.
