Abstract
Methods and systems of a disaggregated optical transport network (OTN) switching system that include using plug-in universal (PIU) modules each having multiple ports for OTN to Ethernet transceiving and an Ethernet fabric as a switching core are disclosed. An OTN over Ethernet module in each of the PIU modules may enable various OTN functionality to be realized using the Ethernet fabric which may include multiple Ethernet switches. An ith port of the multiple ports of each PIU module may be connected to the ith Ethernet switch of each of the Ethernet switches. A PIU module may be associated with a respective sequential order of the Ethernet switches. The PIU module may transmit an Ethernet packet from an ith port of the PIU module corresponding to the ith Ethernet switch, where the ith port is selected based on the respective sequential order of the Ethernet switches.
