Abstract:
A protection switching management apparatus and method for effective use of resources in a multilayer or a multi-domain. The protection switching management method may include receiving an adaptation request from a network component included in an upper layer, determining whether to apply protection switching to a layer based on the received adaptation request, and setting a protection path in the layer based on a result of the determining.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a method for realizing time reduction in shared mesh protection, the method including, in a protection path node, in response to a resource being used for a first protection path by a node, receiving a resource use request for setting a second protection path from another node; activating a protection switch through comparison of priorities of protection paths at the resource use request received; and transmitting, by the activation of a protection switch, to a next protection path node a first shared mesh protection message where a revert (RT) message for the first protection path and a protection switch (SF) message for setting a second protection path are multiplexed.
Abstract:
A method of operating a root node in which the root node transmits/receives traffic with a plurality of leaf nodes through a plurality of working paths is disclosed, the method including receiving, from a first leaf node, a first signal failure (SF) message indicating an occurrence of a failure on a first working path of the first leaf node, receiving traffic from the first leaf node by switching the first working path to a first protection path, and receiving traffic from remaining leaf nodes aside from the first leaf node while maintaining the working path.
