ITU-T G.872 (11/2001)

Architecture of optical transport networks

This Recommendation describes the functional architecture of optical transport networks using the modelling methodology described in ITU-T Rec. G.805. The optical transport network functionality is described from a network level viewpoint, taking into account an optical network layered structure, client characteristic information, client/server layer associations, networking topology, and layer network functionality providing optical signal transmission, multiplexing, routing, supervision, performance assessment, and network survivability.
