摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a signaling establishment method when an electrical regenerator is on an electrical network element, an optical network element, and an electrical network element. According to the method, a property of a fifth interface is mapped to a property of a third interface, and all optical network elements on an optical network on which the optical network element is located is informed, by means of routing flooding, of the property of the third interface, so that the optical network element establishes a local wavelength connection for the optical network element according to signaling; and the optical network element delivers a message, so that the electrical network element establishes a local wavelength connection for the electrical network element according to the message, thereby implementing that a wavelength switched path that passes through an electrical regenerator is established when the electrical regenerator is on the electrical network element.
