Abstract: Global operators are in the process of constructing next generation IP packet-switched networks, with the view of moving towards full IP-based networks. As data services increase, improvements in bandwidth, Quality of Service (QoS), Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM), and network reliability are required. Convergence of network data transmission and network communications technology has been driven by converged IP services (including video, voice, and data), and unified multi-service load demand. Packet Transport Networking (PTN) has come into being to meet these requirements, and PTN Standards are being developing rapidly.
