  • Multiplexing in an optical transport network (OTN)
    Patent number: 8644340
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a plurality of signals at a plurality of ports, each of the signals having a protocol type; mapping each of the signals to one or more time slots of one of a plurality of Low Order Optical Transport Network (OTN) containers; mapping the Low Order OTN containers to a High Order OTN container; mapping the High Order OTN container to a High Order OTN envelope for communication over an OTN; and, in connection with the mapping of the High Order OTN container to the High Order OTN envelope, for each of the signals, inserting into the High Order OTN envelope information identifying the port that the signal was received at, the protocol type of the signal, the Low Order OTN container that the signal was mapped to, and one or more of the time slots that the signal was mapped to.

  • Transporting a CBR Data Stream Over a Packet Switched Network
    Publication number: 20120158990
    Abstract: In one embodiment a method includes receiving a constant bit rate data stream, segmenting the constant bit rate data stream into fixed size blocks of data, generating a time stamp indicative of a system reference clock, the time stamp being in reference to a clock rate of the constant bit rate data stream, encapsulating, in an electronic communication protocol frame, a predetermined number of fixed blocks of data along with (i) a control word indicative of, at least, a relative sequence of the predetermined number of fixed blocks of data in the constant bit rate stream and (ii) the time stamp, and transmitting the electronic communication protocol frame to a packet switched network.
