Workload is mitigated when customizing adding a state transition resulting from a datacenter operation procedure, to an availability evaluation model of a server infrastructure, provided as a standard library. This involves: storing in a state transition storage unit (STSU) definitions of a plurality of state transitions corresponding to system configurations; storing in an additional STSU definitions of state transitions used in system operation, which are different from the plurality of state transitions; receiving definitions of state transitions and registering the definitions in the additional STSU; analyzing system availability based on the definitions of the state transitions stored in the STSU and the definitions of the state transitions stored in the additional STSU; analyzing common state transition patterns in at least part of definitions of the plurality of state transitions used when operating the system, and stored in the additional STSU; and outputting analysis results on the common state transition patterns.

In a communications network, each network node includes a first module that handles a group of channels between its input and output ports as a route decision unit and a second module that handles a channel between its input and output ports as a route decision unit. A module state database stores module cost data of the first and second modules and a link state database stores link cost data of the links. Using the module and link state databases a route of minimum cost is determined and a connection is established between an incoming link and one of the input ports of the first and second modules and a connection is established between one of the output ports of the first and second modules and an outgoing link. The contents of the module and state databases are broadcast to the network.

A packet switching network which allows the duration of guard time of each packet to be reduced to a minimum and the transmission efficiency of the network to be increased is disclosed. The sending nodes send the packet switch packets each having a guard time added thereto. The receiving nodes receive the packets from the packet switch. Each of the receiving nodes includes a switch timing detector for detecting switch timing of the packet switch based on a serial signal received from the packet switch, and a timing holder for holding the switch timing.

An optical packet exchange apparatus and an optical switch in which search for a connection pattern between an input unit devoid of a packet to be transmitted and an output unit devoid of a packet to be received is reduced to enable fast switch control even in cases wherein the number of channels of the exchange apparatus is increased or network speed is higher. A plurality of input units, a plurality of output units and an optical switch are provided. Each input unit includes an input buffer unit, a parallel/serial conversion unit, an electrical/optical conversion unit, and a dummy packet insertion unit for sending a dummy packet if there is no packet to be transmitted. Each output unit includes an exchange counterpart contention resolution unit for controlling the exchange counterpart, an optical/electrical conversion unit, a serial/parallel conversion unit, and a packet eliminating unit. The exchange counterpart contention resolution unit controls the packet eliminating unit to eliminate a dummy packet.

Including optical transmitters for producing optical signals on different wavelengths, an optical network comprises an optical crossbar exchange for exchanging the optical signals into an exchanged signal, demultiplexers for demultiplexing the exchanged signals into receiver input signals, optical receivers for converting the receiver input signals into electric output signals, and memory units for storing the output signals as their contents and producing at least one of the contents as a reception signal upon request. It is possible to make such an optical network deal with multiplexed optical signals as the above-mentioned optical signals particularly when supplied with multiplexed electric transmission signals to multiplexed optical signal transmitters.

The present invention provides means by which a switch controller that manages lines directly notifies receivers of ineffectiveness of received data upon line disconnection instead of any transmitter indirectly notifying receivers; and according to the invention, an optical transmitter is provided within the optical switching unit, and a switch controller controls the optical transmitter within the optical switching unit and an optical switch having at its input ports one or more dummy ports capable of multicast-transmission. According to this control, upon line disconnection, receivers are connected to the optical transmitter within the optical switching unit that transmits control code in real time, thereby preventing receivers from receiving ineffective data and obviating superfluous signal lines and communication processes between the switch controller and transmitters.

An optical switching network and control method are disclosed which include a network interface circuit and an optical switching device. The network interface device divides messages into control and data packets, and has transmission buffers for the storage of the control packets and data packets. Retry buffers for the temporary shunting and storage of control packets and data packets are provided, as well as a queue control circuit for controlling the transmission buffers and retry buffers. An optical transmitter electro-optically converts the data packets and outputs the results to an optical transmission path. An optical receiver is also provided for photoelectric conversion of optical signals inputted from the optical transmission path. A reception buffer stores the output of the optical receiver as reception data. The optical switching device includes an optical switch that performs a routing process on data packets transmitted from the optical transmitter, and an arbiter that performs management of line connection information, processing of control packets from the data transmitter, transmission of control signals to the queue control circuit, and switching control of the optical switch.
