Hello,

 

G.709 ODUflex(CBR) has transcoding factor T in the calculation of the
number of TS. Does the transcoding factor need to be explicitly signaled
as part of the OTN traffic parameters for ODUflex(CBR)?

 

I don't know if there are any currently defined ODUflex(CBR) clients
that would use a transcoding factor other than 1, but if this exists now
or in the future, the intermediate nodes would need to know the
transcoding factor in order to calculate the correct number of TS.
Perhaps this could be inferred based on GPID but then intermediate nodes
would need to interpret GPID (I seem to recall another thread that GPID
should be used at end nodes plus maybe penultimate hop).

 

Best Regards,

Fred
