The present document relates to a method for transmitting client data included in a client signal via an optical transmission path of an optical transport network, the optical transport network using transport frames comprising a transport frame period (T server ) for transmitting client data, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving multiple client entities comprising multiple client data bits;
- determining the number of client data entities received during a transport frame period (T server ) in order to establish a mean number of client data entities (C n ) to be included in a transport frame, said mean number of client data entities (C n ) corresponding to a mean number of client data bits;
- mapping multiple client data entities into the transport frame wherein mapping comprises alternately adding and subtracting an amount of client data bits to/from said mean number of client data bits for at least two consecutive transport frames;
- transmitting the transport frames comprising said client data via the optical transport network. |
