The document discusses the Optical Transport Network (OTN), a new standard designed to support higher bandwidth services using optical fiber links, including 2.5 Gb, 10 Gb, and 40 Gb. It highlights key features such as compliance with ITU-T G.709, support for various overhead processing, and FPGA independent source code. An evaluation license for the OTN framer and de-framer core is available, functioning similarly to the full version for a limited time.
