14. 1.Follow the trend of IP-based network and make full use of the advantages of Ethernet ecosystem chain to
reduce costs in the optical and electrical layers.
2.For large bandwidth and flexible forwarding demand, multi-layer resource collaboration is required, L0~L3
capability should be integrated at the same time.
3.For ultra low latency new technology adoption needed to support TDM and packet switching.
4.Integration of L0~L3 Technology by introducing new crossover mechanism.
SPN (Slicing Packet Network) is a new transport technology profile, which include new protocols, new optical and new
control.
- It is a new generation transport network designed for 5G. It is a photoelectric fusion device.
- It can realize intelligent slice scheduling by SDN.
Key Considerations to address these
changes

15. 15
Network Programmability Is
Critical
It is a foundation on which network
automation is built – to help allocate
and activate all network resources in an
agile manner.
A high degree of programmability in the
transport layer will enable CSP s to reap
the benefits of software defined
networking (SDN) and network function
virtualization (NFV)
Managing Many Moving Parts
Looking at mobile transport on the path to 5G
requires an end-to-end approach that takes into
consideration many moving parts, both legacy
and evolving – technologies across the whole
network.
It should allow CSP s to protect existing network
investment while remaining competitive and
relevant to the end customer.
It should also be a business instrument to
enable CSP s to diversify revenues with greater
agility, and to focus on new opportunities and
delivery of new, innovative digital services
Robust Reliability
Mobile transport networks
must have the robustness to
support the most stringent
SLAs and delivery of mission
critical and industrial
applications that CSP s is
delivering to its end
customers
