Abstract
The present disclosure discloses example method and apparatus for switching a line bandwidth of an optical transport network. One example method includes a network device switching an optical transport network (OTN) frame from a first bandwidth to a second bandwidth at a granularity of a substructure to generate a first OTN frame with the second bandwidth, where a bandwidth of the substructure is a specified value, and a difference between the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth is a multiple of the specified value. The first OTN frame with the second bandwidth is encapsulated as an encapsulated frame with the second bandwidth according to a first encapsulation protocol. The encapsulated frame with the second bandwidth is transmitted at an optical layer.
