    摘要: A method of monitoring performance of a network using network tomography comprises obtaining (102) information indicative of topology of the network and computing (104) a plurality of paths for monitoring the network. Further the method comprises instructing (110) source nodes of the computed paths to send probing packets towards destination nodes of the computed paths, wherein said probing packets undergo segment routing in said network and instructing (114) the destination nodes of the computed paths to carry out network performance measurements based on probing packets received by the destination nodes. Finally the method comprises receiving (116) the performance measurements from the destination nodes and inferring (118) information about performance of nodes in the network using network tomography, wherein the inference process includes correlating the performance measurements of the computed paths.

    摘要: A node 800 of a multi-layer communication is capable of routing a message signal via one or more different layers (for example a PSC layer, TDM layer, LSC layer) in the multi-layer communication network. The node 800 comprises a first interface 801 for receiving a path message 803 containing routing information for routing an associated message signal through the multi-layer communication network. One or more second interfaces 805i to 805N are provided for transmitting a message signal to one or more respective layers in the multi-layer communication network. A processing unit 807 is adapted to determine if the path message 803 contains protection information 40 indicating that protection switching is to be performed in one or more different layers of the multi-layer communication network, and if so, establish a protection switching mechanism in the one or more different layers using the protection information 40 provided in the path message 803.

    摘要: Computing working paths and recovery paths in a telecommunications network having nodes (60, 61) capable of supporting different recovery schemes, is based on traffic demands having an indication of a desired recovery service level, for that demand. A path computation is carried out (120) to select a working path through the network for each of the traffic demands and to select which of the different recovery schemes to use according to the service level. The selected working paths and their associated recovery schemes are then set up in the network. By leaving the selection of the recovery scheme to the path computation stage, network resources can be used more efficiently, and operators can specify resiliency in terms of needs rather than in terms of the technology of the network. Thus operators can be insulated from the detailed knowledge of the network.
