Abstract:
A method for providing a protection switching service in a virtual tenant network (VTN) and a controller are provided. The method enables a real-time protection switching setup on a VTN path in order to provide reliability of a VTN service.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for a centralized ultra-precision network control framework controlling heterogeneous multiple network domains to provide a large-scale end-to-end ultra-precision service in a communication system. A method of operating a network domain controller in a communication system includes: receiving node information, link information, adjacent node information, and adjacent node link information from a network node control agent; identifying controller topology information based on the node information, the link information, the adjacent node information, and the adjacent node link information; and transmitting boundary node information, boundary node link information, adjacent domain node information, and adjacent domain node link information to a network orchestrator.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and an apparatus for protecting a software defined network (SDN), the apparatus including a controller configured to perform a protection switching on at least one working path in an SDN, and a processor configured to set a first event of performing the protection switching and set a protection path before the first event occurs.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a controller-based fault management apparatus and method. The method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: receiving information on a reason of a fault occurring in a network, generating restoration basis information on the fault on the basis of the information on the fault reason; determining whether or not to report a management system of the fault on the basis of the restoration basis information and filtering information, and generating subject to be reported classification information on whether or not the fault corresponds to a subject to be reported to the management system; and when the fault is determined to correspond to the subject to be reported on the basis of the subject to be reported classification information, transmitting information on a fault reason to the management system subject to be reported classification information.
Abstract:
An OpenFlow switch which processes a packet received from the outside is provided. The OpenFlow switch includes: a first table used to process a received packet; a second table used to create the first table; and a packet processor that manages the first table and the second table and controls the processing of the packet.
Abstract:
A software-defined networking (SDN) method. The SDN method according to an exemplary embodiment may be used in managing and operating SDN-based network resources in an optical communications network, a fixed mobile convergence subscriber network, a wired broadband subscriber network, a distributed mobile communications base station network, etc.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for performing network failure restoration when a failure occurs in a software-defined networking (SDN) network, the method including detecting a failure by verifying whether a failure occurs in a channel and switching a channel from a first channel to a second channel when a failure occurs and thus, recovering from the failure by switching the channel from the first channel to the second channel.
