Claim 16:
17. An optical transport network (OTN) apparatus, comprising:
a processor, configured to:
map first-type service data to a payload block at a specific location in a plurality of consecutive payload blocks, wherein the plurality of consecutive payload blocks occupy a payload area of an optical data unit ODU frame;
map second-type service data to a payload block that is at any location in the plurality of consecutive payload blocks other than the specific location; and
map the ODU frame to an optical transport unit (OTU) frame or a flexible OTN (FlexO) frame; and

a transceiver, configured to:
send the OTU frame or the FlexO frame,

wherein
the first-type service data comprises first service data;
the plurality of consecutive payload blocks constitute one transport period; and
a location of a payload block occupied by the first service data in a first transport period is the same as a location of a payload block occupied by the first service data in a second transport period.
