Method and device for inserting overhead into optical channel data unit frame (ODUk)

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for inserting an overhead into an optical channel data unit frame (ODUk). The method comprises the following steps: writing an upper-layer appointed overhead byte to be inserted and a processing way of the overhead byte into an address position which corresponds to the position to be inserted of the overhead byte to be inserted in a preset storage module in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip; when the position to be inserted of the overhead byte to be inserted in ODU data stream arrives, inquiring the processing way of the overhead byte to be inserted, which is stored in the corresponding address position in the storage module; and if the stored overhead processing way is insertion, inserting the overhead byte to be inserted, which is stored in the address position into the current position of the ODU data stream. The device comprises an upper-layer interface control unit, an overhead processing unit and an overhead inserting unit. The invention can fully save the use quantity of FPGA chip pins and realize the flexible management of upper-layer overhead writing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and a device for inserting overhead into an ODUk (Optical Data Unit, optical channel data unit) frame. Background technique [0002] In an OTN (Optical Transport Network, Optical Transport Network), overhead processing plays a very important role. It monitors the performance and faults of the point-to-point, segment-to-segment, and end-to-end paths of the data channel. It can quickly locate faults and transmit service types and network management information, providing guidance on how to further process services. For how to insert the overhead into the ODUk frame, the existing technology basically adopts a one-to-one correspondence method, that is, an independent pin is configured for one overhead. This overhead insertion method will cause excessive use of pins. In FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip development process has caused g...
