Optical Transmission Network Evolution Scheme of VC-OTN

With the evolution of operator network, the optical transmission network (OTN) technology which integrates the cross-function of Virtual Container (VC) has become a hot research topic. In this paper, the application scheme of VC-OTN technology including network structure planning, network evolution steps and protection scheme in transmission network is proposed. The pilot project proves that the proposed scheme can significantly guide the operator network construction.
