IXF30009/10/11 - 2.5Gbps/10Gbps Optical OTN Transport Processor The IXF30009/30010/30011 Optical Transport Processors are highly integrated devices designed to handle most Optical Transport Network (OTN) applications on a single chip. As a successors to the IXF30001, IXF30003, IXF30005, and IXF30007 devices, the IXF30009/30010/30011 transport processors build on Cortina's framer and Forward Error Correction (FEC) design expertise and extend the product family. The IXF30009/30010/30011 Optical Transport Processors provide strong FEC performance and support for networking standards such as OTN (G.709), SONET/SDH and 10Gigabit Ethernet (10GigE). The devices feature SFI-4 compliant interfaces that can be configured to support either a single 10Gbps signal or four 2.5Gbps tributary signals. They can perform fully transparent asynchronous aggregation of 2.5Gbps tributaries into a 10.7Gbps (OTU2) signal. The devices support full duplex operations for all datapaths, and all RX and TX ports can be configured independently. They can be used as SONET/SDH framers providing complete section and line termination for one OC-192/STM-64 or four OC-48/STM-16 signals. The Optical Transport Processors can also be operated as bridge devices, transparently transporting any payload over a G.709-compliant network, as network nodes operating with OTN signals on all interfaces, as gateways between asynchronous OTNs interfacing between different carrier networks, or as strong FEC devices, providing a net electrical coding gain of 10dB in Ultra Long Haul (ULH) or submarine systems. Both interfaces (system and line) are equipped with a G.709-compliant FEC codec (RS-255/239) providing a net coding gain of ~6dB, allowing for a single-chip standard FEC regenerator. In addition, the line-side of the IXF30009/30011 contains a very strong, proprietary FEC code with a maximum net coding gain of 10dB supporting ULH and submarine applications. The FEC overhead information can be scaled to 4 percent, 7 percent, 15 percent, or 25 percent to support the various requirements of a 10GbE, Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and ULH system respectively, while maintaining the G.709v2 frame format. The flexibly of the configurable serial overhead port allows access to all transported client signals and management overhead data. FEC statistics are delivered to this port and can be used to control external compensation circuitries for optical impairments. Compliance with OIF interface standards (SFI-4) enables the devices to be used in Multi Source Agreement (MSA) based systems. The single-chip integration support for multiple standards makes the IXF30009/30010/30011 Optical Transport Processors the ideal high integration solution for a wide range of applications including OTN networks, FEC regenerators, Multi Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPPs), SONET/SDH Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs), submarine and ULH FEC applications, low cost 10Gbps metro and core networks, and 10GbE LAN transport and monitoring. The IX30009/30010/30011 transport processors are available in three, pin and software compatible, versions: IXF30009 - Full functionality: 4x2.5G transparent aggregation into OxU2; supports 4xOC-48/OxU1, OC-192, OxU2, 10GE, Two G.709 compliant Reed Solomon FEC codecs; strong FEC performance of up to 10dB net electrical coding gain; adjustable FEC overhead rates; designed for Metro, Long Haul, ULH and Submarine networks. IXF30010 - OTN: Similar to IXF30009 without strong FEC support (only standard RS FEC). IXF30011 - Strong FEC: Similar to IXF30009 without support for 2.5G signals (excludes aggregation and OC-48/OxU1 processing).
Applications

    • Features and Benefits
    Fully transparent asynchronous aggregation of four 2.5Gbps tributary signals into an OTU2/ODU2 - Enables more efficient bandwidth usage, leading to lower investment cost for transport systems. Allows direct connection of asynchronous lower rate client signals in a transport system that can be fully transparent and "invisible" to the payload. Specific networking capabilities for 10GbE, SONET/SDH and OTN signals - Enables MSPPs capable of handling different client signals. The processor can be used as a full SONET/SDH framer for OC-48 or OC-192, monitoring 10GbE or processing OTN signals. Strong, adjustable FEC - Provides superior coding gain and can be configured to meet the performance needs of a variety of platforms (Metro, LH, ULH, submarine). Enables denser packing of colors in a fiber to reduce equipment cost. High integration networking support for different payloads including 10GbE and aggregation of multiple different signals - Supports high density boards (for example, an 8-port OC-48 framer) with greater real estate savings. Service providers can directly transport and monitor 10GbE payloads. Pin and software compatibility throughout the product family - One board can be reused with different platforms (from Metro to ULH), helping to reduce cost. One software development, quick adaptation of new features into an existing platform (i.e. aggregation).
