Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to an example embodiment, a form factor adapter module may include a small form factor (SFF) host connector configured to receive a small form factor pluggable (SFP or SFP+) module and to transmit and receive data according to a Serializer-deserializer Framer Interface (SFI) protocol. The form factor adapter module may also include a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable (XFP) edge finger connector configured to transmit and receive data to and from the SFF host connector according to the SFI protocol and to mate with an XFP edge finger socket.
摘要:
Using polarization modulation techniques to simultaneously transmit two different data streams (formatted according to two different protocols) over a single optical wavelength. A first data stream that is encapsulated for transport using a first transport protocol, and a second data stream that is encapsulated for transport using a second transport protocol are received. The first data stream is modulated on a wavelength with a first polarization mode of a polarization division modulation scheme to produce a first modulated data stream and the second data stream is modulated on the wavelength with a second polarization mode of the polarization division multiplex transmission scheme to produce a second modulated data stream having the second polarization mode. The second polarization mode is orthogonal to the first polarization mode. The first and second data streams are combined onto a single wavelength for transmission over a single optical fiber using a polarization beam combiner.

In one embodiment, a one-way delay is measured between optical devices in an optical transport network based on roundtrip times of request and corresponding response frames. A first optical device sends a sequence of delay measurement request frames to a second optical device, which varies a local delay before responding to a request frame, thus causing a slippage in the sequence of reply frames received by the first device. The point at which the request frames are received in relation to the stream of frames sent by the optical device can be identified based on the frame slippage. Therefore, the delay measurement can be adjusted by a corresponding offset to the beginning of a frame in order to increase the accuracy of the one-way delay measurement.

According to another general aspect, an apparatus may include a receiver, a decoding engine, an envelope generator, an error code generator, and a transmitter. In one embodiment, the receiver may be configured to receive an Ethernet packet that includes a payload portion. In various embodiments, the decoding engine may be configured to decode at least the payload portion of the Ethernet packet such that the size of the payload portion is reduced. In some embodiments, the envelope generator may be configured to encapsulate the payload portion such that packet boundaries may be identified. In various embodiments, the error code generator may be configured to associate an error correction code with the encapsulated payload portion. In another embodiment, the transmitter may be configured to transmit the encapsulated payload and error correction code.

摘要:
A transponder unit which relays signals between a plurality of channels of an optical transport network and a plurality of clients. The interconnections within the transponder unit are reconfigurable for selective connections. A connection between a first client and a first network channel and a connection between a second client and a second network channel is independent of each other and may be selected so that the second client is connected to the first network channel and the first client is connected to the second network channel. Other selected connections are also possible.
