摘要:
A determination device for a wavelength division multiplex communication system, configured to set each of different paths each of which is formed by connection of spans each of which is a zone between two adjacent transmission devices, among transmission devices forming a communication network, in the communication network, or a single span in the communication network, for the corresponding one of different wavelengths, and configured to transmit an optical signal of each of the wavelengths via the corresponding path set to the wavelength, the device includes: a determination section configured to determine whether an optical signal of at least one of the wavelengths is transmittable only to a path, among newly formed paths, for which the number of spans forming the path is equal to or less than a predetermined upper-limit number, in order to transmit one or more optical signals of one or more wavelengths among the wavelengths.

A method and apparatus for performing path protection for rate-adaptive optics is provided. As part of the method, an aggregate input bit stream is received. The aggregate input bit stream is then transmitted using a rate-adaptive optical transceiver when transmitting on a first optical path. When the first optical path has a fault, the aggregate input bit stream is then transmitted on a second optical path using the rate-adaptive optical transceiver and a fixed-rate optical transceiver.

A router configured to communicate data with a destination router over an IP path that includes an IP link that uses a first optical path. The router configured to proactively maintain the performance of the communication of data. The router configured to receive a signal to move the communication off of the first optical path, before performance of the first optical path has failed. The router configured to establish a second optical path to the destination router an associate the IP link with the second optical path and move the communication of data with the destination router to the second optical path. The router may optionally be configured to tear down the first optical path. The trigger received by the router may be an indication of a performance degradation of the first optical path or an indication of a router interface used by the IP link being switched into maintenance mode.

This multi-failure resolution optical node has: an operating system wavelength path; two or more standby system wavelength paths which are assigned to the operating system wavelength path and have been assigned a ranking; and node control means that can separately operate the operating system wavelength path and the standby system wavelength paths in a normal power consumption mode or a reduced power consumption mode. Thus, it is possible to provide an optical node with which power consumption is reduced and with which switching to a standby system wavelength path can be performed quickly in response to a failure in the operating system wavelength path.

Transmission equipment comprises: a measurement unit configured to measure respective transmission delays of the plurality of paths by using a frame transmitted between the transmission equipment and correspondent equipment; a detector configured to detect a priority of an input packet; a selector configured to select a path for transmitting the input packet from among the plurality of paths; and a frame processing unit configured to transmit a frame onto which the input packet is mapped to the correspondent equipment through a path selected by the selector. The selector selects an alternative path for transmitting the input packet from among the plurality of paths based on the priority of the input packet detected by the detector and respective transmission delays of the plurality of paths measured by the measurement unit when a failure occurs in a path that has been selected by the selector.

A highly reliable optical switching device and optical switching method ensure restoration of the failure in the large-capacity high density wiring of the multicore fiber with the general number of cores (7 cores, 19 cores and the like). An optical transmission system which transmits a supervisory control signal concerning a transmission path switching to one or more cores of a single or multiple multicore fibers, an active signal to one or more cores, and a standby signal to one or more cores includes optical switching devices connected to respective ends of the optical transmission system. Upon detection of the transmission failure of the active signal based on the signal transmission condition and information from the supervisory control signal, it is switched to the standby signal. The supervisory control signal is transmitted to the center core of the multicore fiber.

摘要:
An apparatus searches for one or more first routes coupling starting and ending point nodes in a communication network including an asymmetry node, based on topology information indicating a connection relationship between nodes on the communication network. The apparatus determines, for each of the one or more first routes, whether or not signals are transmittable between the starting and ending point nodes under path restriction imposed on the asymmetry node, based on asymmetry-node information indicating the path restriction imposed on the asymmetry node. The apparatus determines a second route that has a minimum sum of link costs among one or more third routes for which it is determined that signals are transmittable between the starting and ending point nodes under the path restriction imposed on the asymmetry node, based on cost information storing a link cost of a link connecting each pair of adjacent nodes on the communication network.
