摘要:
A synchronous optical network (SONET) system having multi-hierarchal network service access point (NSAP) addressing includes electrically linked network elements (NEs) and first and second level routing areas which each include at least one NE. The NEs include devices having respective NSAP addresses and at least one of the NEs is a network controller that controls the SONET. The first level routing area and the second level routing areas are based on a predetermined prioritization of the NEs as first level NEs and second level NEs, and have a first level routing and having a second level routing for the NSAP addresses, respectively. Each NSAP address includes a Routing Domain field and an Area field filled with information indicative of a respective Internet Protocol (IP) address.

Method of collecting data from one or more network elements used to support customer networks. The method may include compiling a customer list from information extracted from a customer information database and an operation processes database. The customer list may be used to indicate one or more customers, the network elements associated therewith, and network addresses for each of the listed network elements. The method may include automatically generating data collection messages to the network addresses specified in the customer list.

Hybrid cables for communication networks are disclosed. An example cable includes a plurality of electrical conductors disposed along a central axis of the cable. The plurality of electrical conductors includes a first twisted pair cable in a twisted configuration with a second twisted pair cable. The cable also includes a first jacket surrounding the plurality of electrical conductors and a plurality of optical fibers adjacent to an outer surface of the first jacket.
