Optical transponder and method for detecting and treating errors in optical channel sublayer of the optical transponder

摘要

Provided are an optical transponder that processes a G.709 frame that includes an overhead for operation, administration, and maintenance of an optical channel and an overhead for forward error correction, and a method of detecting and treating errors in optical-channel sublayers of the same. The method includes detecting an error signal or a maintenance signal from a G.709 frame that includes an overhead for operation, administration, and maintenance of an optical channel and an overhead for forward error correction; treating errors in a predetermined layer of a plurality of layers that requires error treatment when the error signal or the maintenance signal is detected or canceled; and investigating a reason for the errors in the predetermined layer.
