scope:
This Recommendation defines the automatic protection switching (APS) protocol and protection switching operation for the linear protection schemes for the optical transport network (OTN) at the optical data unit k (ODUk) level. These schemes are based on the generic linear protection specifications in [ITU-T G.808.1]. Linear protection schemes considered in this Recommendation are:
- ODUk subnetwork connection protection with inherent monitoring (1+1, 1:n);
- ODUk subnetwork connection protection with non-intrusive monitoring (1+1);
- ODUk subnetwork connection protection with sublayer monitoring (1+1, 1:n);
- ODUk compound link subnetwork connection group protection with inherent monitoring (1+1, 1:1).
In addition, client-related protection architectures are described
