    摘要: The present invention provides methods, systems, and data communication networks for providing fault protection in an optical network. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a source node having an optical cross-connect switching system that has a source port card with a splitter to split an input optical signal into two similar optical signals. The two similar optical signals contain the same information. A source optical switching device switches one of the two similar optical signals to a first destination port card and onto an adjacent node and the other one of the similar optical signals to a second destination port card and onto a different adjacent node, respectively, such that the two similar optical signals are then diversely routed through the optical network. A destination node having an optical cross-connect switching system receives the two similar optical signals via first and second source port cards, respectively. The optical cross-connect switching system of the destination node includes a destination optical switching device to switch each of the two similar optical signals to a destination port card having a selector switch. The selector switch selects one of the available two similar optical signals, such that, if one of the diversely routed similar optical signals fails to reach the destination node, due to a fault in the optical network, the other one of the similar optical signals is still available. Thus, the same information is provided to the destination port card of the destination node and 1+1 optical fault protection is provided for the optical network.

    摘要: A network arrangement and control method where, before any transmission of data occurs for a particular communication, a network controller determines an unused path to provide a connection, advantageously all the way through the network from a given inlet to a given outlet. Once the identity of the unused path is known, the controller determines control information for use in activating that path and transmits that control information into the network, significantly via the network inlets. The network responds by activating the determined path and communication is enabled via the activated path, but only for the single connection and no buffering of information is required within the network. The network is particularly well suited for optical implementation and control is effected without the use of spatial light modulators but rather by means of control elements embedded within the network itself.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining a first packet, where the first packet has a length and comparing the length of the first packet to a length threshold. The method also includes when the length of the first packet is greater than or equal to the length threshold, placing the first packet in a long packet container and transmitting the long packet container to a first photonic switch and when the length of the first packet is less than the length threshold, placing the first packet in a first short packet container and transmitting the first short packet container to a second photonic switch.

    摘要: A method includes comparing a length of a first packet to a threshold, determining that the first packet is a short packet when the length of the first packet is less than the threshold, and determining that the first packet is a long packet when the length of the first packet is greater than or equal to the threshold. The method also includes when the first packet is a long packet placing the first packet in a long packet container and transmitting the long packet container to a photonic switch. Additionally, the method includes when the first packet is a short packet placing a first portion of the first packet in a first short packet container, where the first short packet container includes a sequence number, a source top-of-rack switch (TOR) address, and a destination TOR address and transmitting the first short packet container to an electronic switch.
