A flexible Optical Service Unit (OSU) path layer is specified by this standard for optical networks, providing services ranging from 2 Mb/s to 100 Gb/s. The main features of the OSU path layer are being offered in the form of massive OSU connections that carry packet and Constant Bit Rate (CBR) services with guaranteed performance, enabling the flexible hitless bandwidth adjustment (e.g. n × 10 Mb/s) for each OSU connection, along with capabilities such as high bandwidth efficiency, large capacity, and low latency. The OSU path layer can be carried on different server layers, for instance, OTN, PON, among others. The standard supports high-quality leased line services and video services, with guaranteed performance, that are utilized in telecom operator's optical networks and other industry transport networks.

No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
