What are the protection devices for optical communication
As the criticality of optical transport networks necessitates robust protection mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted communication, OTN layer protection, including OCH, OMS, and OTS protection, plays a vital role in safeguarding optical communication paths. We address emerging threats to the security of optical networks, mainly loss of the confidentiality of user data transmitted through optical bers and disturbances of network control, both of which could seriously damage the entire network. However, there are several ways to obtain part of a signal from a fiber without the user finding out that it is being tapped.
