全球数据业务的爆炸式增长要求能够提供灵活智能的网络配置和高效快速的网络保护能力,ASON技术的出现迎合了光网络的这一新的发展趋势。ASON是一种具有高灵活性和高可扩展性的基础光网络设施,它能在光层上直接提供服务,从而快速地满足用户的需求,并有效地解决网络的可扩展性、可管理性、快速配置用户带宽和端到端保护等问题。本文介绍了ITU—T、IETF和OIF等国际组织在ASON标准化方面的最新进展,并对国内有关ASON标准的制定情况进行了总结。
The explosive increase of global data service requires that optical transport network provide flexible network configuration and efficient network protection, so the emergence of automatic switched optical network accords with this new development trend of optical network. ASON is a set of optical infrastructure with high flexibility and extensibility, which can provide service at optical layer directly and can fulfill the requirements of subscribers, so it can solve some network problems perfectly, such as extensibility, manageability, subscriber bandwidth distribution and end-to-end network protection. This paper introduces the standardization status of ITU-T, IETF and OIF, then summarizes the fruit of ASON standard in China.
