摘要:
A label switched path through a network of nodes, is torn down by sending a message along the path from an ingress node. If there is a fault along the path, a path error message (2) is sent back along the path to the ingress node. The ingress node uses a different route bypassing the fault to alert (3) a further one of the nodes (NE5, NE6) on that path beyond the indicated fault, to cause that further node to continue the tearing down for other nodes on that path beyond the indicated fault by sending a further message (4) along the portion of the path beyond the indicated fault, to indicate to the other nodes to continue the tear down. This enables the ingress node to clean up the rest of the path beyond the fault, to avoid leaving unused capacity unavailable for reuse, and to avoid time consuming manual clean up.
摘要:
A node for use in a photonic network comprises an optical to electrical interface for receiving a traffic signal and an electrical to optical interface for outputting a traffic signal. A processor is adapted, in response to receiving a control plane message, to reconfigure at least one feature of an optical-to-electrical-to-optical conversion process carried out in the node, according to a type of traffic signal identified by the control plane message.

The present invention relates to configuring the quality of service in a label switched network. In particular, the invention relates to configuring quality of service for the return path of a bi-directional label switched path in a label switched network.The invention provides a method of configuring quality of service for a return path of a bi-directional label switched path within a network, the bi-directional label switched path having a forward path and a return path. A label information context for a quality of service configuration of the return path of a label switched path is configured separately from a quality of service configuration for the forward path. Path set up messages are formed containing a return path quality of service object indicating the quality of service configuration for the return path separately from a quality of service configuration for the forward path.
摘要:
A method of realigning a node in a label switched network comprising a plurality of nodes and a node with a processor, a memory, and a network interface, for carrying out the method. The method includes periodically maintaining backup path status information for the node., restarting the node, and re-establishing label switched paths with the plurality of nodes using the backup status information. Communication with adjacent nodes is carried out in order to reconcile the path status information with respective path status information in the adjacent nodes in order to establish node realignment preferably judged against a threshold value for path reliability.
摘要:
A method in a node of a network comprises the steps of receiving a configuration command signal, the configuration command signal indicating that one or more configuration parameters are to be changed in the node and at least one other node of the network. A routing protocol message is modified to include the configuration command signal. The configuration command signal is communicated to the at least one other node of the network using the modified routing protocol message.
摘要:
Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards an optical testing node, and method therein, for establishing transmission parameters for optical communications in an iterative manner. The establishment of the transmission parameters may comprise adjusting various parameters such as a modulation scheme, a light path length, and/or a spectral width.

The example embodiments presented herein are directed towards an Optical Network Element, ONE, node (14), and corresponding method therein, for establishing multiple spectral routing in an optical transport network. The establishment of the multiple spectral routing features the use of a Split-Spectrum Label, SSL, (11) which comprises multiple definitions for spectral slots, where each definition has an absolute starting and an absolute ending frequency allocation.
