ASON
The automatically switched optical network (ASON) is a new generation of the optical transport network and is all called ASON optical network. Compared with a traditional WDM network, an ASON-empowered WDM network has advantages in service configuration, bandwidth utilization, and protection.
Benefits of Huawei ASON Solution
To address these challenges, Huawei provides the ASON solution. ASON enhances the network connection management and fault recovery capabilities by introducing signaling to the traditional transmission network and providing a control plane.
Compared with the traditional WDM network, the ASON has the following features:
- Configures end-to-end services automatically.
- Discovers the topology automatically.
- Provides mesh networking that enhances the survivability of the network.
- Supports different services that are provided with different levels of protection based on service levels at the client layer.
- Provides traffic engineering and dynamically adjusts logical network topologies in real time to optimize the configuration of network resources based on service demands at the client layer.
