    摘要: A delay measurement method of a path (P) or path segment through a transport network and a corresponding network nodes (NE1, NE2) for performing the delay measurement are described, which provide a higher precision and lower jitter. An originating network node (NE1) inserts a delay measurement request signal (REQ) into an overhead subfield of a first data unit and transmits the first data unit over the path (P) or path segment to a far-end network node (NE2) as part of framed transport signals. The far-end network node (NE2), upon detection of the delay measurement request (REQ), inserts a delay measurement reply signal (REP) into an overhead subfield of a second data unit and transmits the second data unit back to the originating network node (NE1) using framed transport signals in reverse direction. The originating network node (NE1) determines a time difference between insertion of the delay measurement request signal (REQ) and receipt of the delay measurement reply signal (REP). The far-end network node (NE2) further determines an insertion time value indicative of a time difference (t1, t2, t3) between receipt of the delay measurement request signal (REQ) and insertion of the delay measurement reply signal (REP) in reverse direction and communicates the insertion time value back to the originating network node (NE1). The originating network node (NE1) then determines a delay value for the path (P) or path segment from the determined response time difference and the received insertion time value.

    摘要: In order to provide a network element which is well suited for the access and aggregation network, and allows switching and aggregation at ODU0 and ODUflex granularity; a network node for an optical transport network is disclosed, which has a signal input for receiving a multiplexed transport signal carrying a number of n timeslots of a fixed size data capacity, a demultiplexer for demultiplexing the received signal into a number of m > 1 sub-signals, each sub-signal carrying a fraction of n / m of said timeslots, one or more space switch modules for configurably switching said sub-signals, and a multiplexer receiving sub-signals from said one or more space switch modules; for multiplexing timeslots from said sub-signals into an outgoing multiplexed transport signal carrying n of said timeslots. The multiplexer is connected to the one or more switch modules over a number of l > m interconnections and receives from said one or more switch modules up to I sub-signals. Moreover, the multiplexer can be configured to select the n timeslots for the outgoing multiplexed transport signal from the up to I sub-signals.

    摘要: A network element for a digital transmission network is proposed. The network element contains two switching matrices for switching data cells, as well as ingress ports that receive TDM traffic flow and packet traffic flow and segment the traffic flows into cells. A control system for controlling the configuration of the ingress ports and the switching matrices controls the ingress ports, in case of no failure of the switching matrices, to forward the TDM traffic flows to both switching matrices and to split the packet traffic flow over the two switching matrices.

    摘要: Proposed is a method of enabling a packet loss measurement in a network. Via a group of user ports data packets containing a same source address and a same destination address are received. A link aggregation of the group of user ports is performed. At a network port, received data packets are transmitted to a far end network edge node. A number of transmitted data packets is determined, and also for each of the user ports a number of data packets lost internally is determined. At the network port, a corrected number of transmitted data packets is indicated to the far end network edge node as the sum of the determined number of transmitted data packets the overall number of data packets lost internally.

    摘要: A method and related apparatus are provided for restoring a connection through a provider network (PN). In particular, a connection is established along a path (P1) through the provider network (PN) for the transport of client traffic between two client network nodes (CR1, CR2) of a client network (CD1, CD2). Any restoration service for this connection is deactivated. However, when a failure (F1) is detected along the path (P1) which affects the connection, a path search is performed anyhow to determine a projected restoration path (P2) through the provider network (PN) available to restore said failed connection. In the case that the path search was successful and a projected restoration path (P2) was found, the availability of the projected restoration path (P2) is communicated (MS1, MS2) to the client network (CD 1, CD2). The client can now decide whether to accept a temporary service upgrade to restoration service or not. Only after receipt of a confirmation (CM1, CM2) from said client network (CD1, CD2), a path restoration is performed to restore the failed connection over the projected restoration path (P2).
