Abstract
In systems and methods of transporting data over an optical transport network, a first client signal and a second client signal are received at a network element of the optical transport network, each of the first client signal and the second client signal comprising a header and a data payload. An optical data unit is assembled comprising the first client signal and the second client signal in sequence, and the optical data unit is transmitted over the optical transport network. The first data payload and the second data payload may not be interleaved, and further, the first header and the second header may not be interleaved. The optical data unit can comprise the first client signal and the second client signal in a time sequence.
