Abstract:
The present invention discloses an apparatus and a method for transporting an ODU service. The transport apparatus includes a first ODU service processing unit, a timeslot allocation unit, a switching output port allocation unit, an Ethernet switching unit, and a second ODU service processing unit, where a table of a mapping between output ports of the first ODU service processing unit and timeslots is determined according to a rate of an ODUflex frame carried in an obtained ODU service and the number of the output ports of the first ODU service processing unit, and the ODU service is forwarded, which resolves a problem in the prior art that an ODUflex frame cannot be transported by using the Ethernet switching unit, thereby ensuring that service congestion does not occur on a forwarding port of a sending apparatus, and improving transmission quality of a communications network.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a service transmission method, a network device, and a network system. The method includes: obtaining, by a first network device, a client service of FlexE, and obtaining clock information corresponding to the client service; mapping, by the first network device, the client service and the clock information to a timeslot of a FlexE frame, where the client service and the clock information occupy a same timeslot and/or different timeslots; and sending, by the first network device, the FlexE frame to a second network device. Therefore, service clock information can be transparently transmitted in flexible Ethernet by using the method of the present invention.
