OTN=OPTICAL TRANSPORT NETWORK

I would expect here article about Optical Transport Networks as defined in ITU-T G.872

agreed[edit]

I concur.

The heading for this page should be Optical Transport Network, not Open Transport Network.

See: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.709/en

(and add that as a link on the page...)

disagree[edit]

OTN probably means a lot of things. See disambiguation page. ITU-standard OTN seems dead to me, but can be added under title 'optical transport network' if you fancy. I concur as well. The page clearly states "Open Transport Network" which is not the same as "Optical Transport Network"

disagree[edit]

I suspect this page is talking about Siemens OTN (OPEN TRANSPORT NETWORK) product. This extends voice & data user services over a dual fibre ring. Think the author should have been a bit clearer! STM-1 is also better described as approx 155Mb/s. JNIB Engineer 09:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needs major revisions/citations/clarification of product being described[edit]

It's fine if we're talking about a certain brand of transport network, but this article does need actual citations. I'm poised to add the "reads like an advertisement" to it, considering that the article mentions that this "is a brand name." And 50ms is NOT "ultrafast switchover" as far as I am concerned. At the described maximum 10Gbps, 50ms results in half a gigabit worth of lost data. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.148.156 (talk) 08:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
