• Alarm propagation difference between wrapper, switching and adaptation

    From PRITHA BHATTACHARYA@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 27 21:48:51 2019
    Hello,

    Can somebody tell me the alarms propagation difference between wrapper/transport and switching services ?

    As per my understanding for wrapper/transport service we will be seeing the ODUk alarms like AIS, BDI only at the end nodes where client is inserted and removed whereas for switching service we see the ODUk alarm at every node.
    Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Also i would be very thankful if someone can share some reference document links for understanding fault management and propagation.

    Hello Pritha,

    You write:

    Now I am confused. Can you explain what you mean by wrapper/transport
    service and switching service (OTN is both wrapper and switching...).

    As per my understanding for wrapper/transport service we will be seeing
    the ODUk alarms like AIS, BDI only at the end nodes where client
    is inserted and removed

    Correct, because the ODUk is the container that transports the client signal
    as its payload. It is the path layer in the OTN structure.

    whereas for switching service we see the ODUk alarm at every node.

    This is not correct, in OTN the ODUk are switched in intermediate nodes
    when the path is set up. If end-to-end connection is established ODUk
    alarms will be reported at both end nodes only.

    Please correct me if I am wrong.

    I just did.

    Also i would be very thankful if someone can share some reference
    document links for understanding fault management and propagation.

    You can read ITU-T Recommendation G.784 describing OTN management.

    Kind regards, Huub.
