Abstract:
Systems and methods of compensating for the delay asymmetry of coherent optical modems in a packet optical network include measuring fill levels of one or more queues each including an elastic First-In-First-Out (FIFO) circuit used in a transport mapping scheme, wherein the transport mapping scheme is one or more of client mapping to Optical Transport Unit (OTU) and OTU mapping to Flexible OTN (FlexO); and performing adjustments in a clock based in part on the measured fill levels, wherein the adjustments are configured to reduce a Time Error (TE) in the packet network based on delay asymmetry between two nodes.

Claim (Index 21):
A coherent optical module, comprising:\n client-to-Optical Transport Unit (OTU) adaptation circuitry; OTU-to-Flexible OTN (FlexO) adaptation circuitry; Forward Error Correction (FEC) circuitry; and a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), wherein the client-to-OTU adaptation circuitry and the OTU-to-FlexO adaptation circuitry comprise one or more queues each comprising an elastic First-In-First-Out (FIFO) circuit used in a transport mapping scheme, wherein fill levels of the one or more queues are measured and adjustments are performed to a clock based in part on the measured fill levels, wherein the adjustments are configured to reduce a Time Error (TE) in the packet network based on delay asymmetry between two nodes, and wherein the coherent optical module is configured to signal the adjustments to one or more nodes in the packet optical network.
