摘要:
There is provided topology information including connection states among nodes in a network, and port information including restriction conditions on connectivity among ports within a restricted node. A path search apparatus finds a first path having the minimum total link-cost among a plurality of paths. The topology information is changed so that the first path is not searched for as a path having the minimum total link-cost among the plurality of paths, and the port information is changed based on a port connectivity change rule. Then, the path search apparatus finds a second path different from the first path, based on the changed port information and the changed topology information, and reconfigures a pair of link-disjoint paths satisfying the restriction conditions imposed on the restricted node, by removing a link shared by both the first and second paths from the original topology information.

A signal transmission method includes causing each of a plurality of nodes to transfer, using the actually used line, a second signal in a second layer, in which one or a plurality of first signals in a first layer are contained, to a node adjacent in the first or the second direction when each of the plurality of nodes transmits or receives the first signal, when no failure occurs in a transmission path in a network, and causing a first node, located at an end of a failure point, to switch a transmission direction of the second signal and to send out the second signal to the backup line, and causing a second node, which is a transmission source or a reception destination of the first signal, to select one of the first and second directions, when a failure occurs in the transmission path in the network.

A node device receives supervisory control information on a dedicated wavelength different from a wavelength of signal light, which is input from an input port together with the signal light, and extracts, from signal light to be output from an output port, information superposed on an optical main signal of the signal light. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the signal light to be output and the supervisory control information correspond by using the extracted information, and supervisory control information corresponding to the signal light to be output is transmitted on the dedicated wavelength from the output port.

In an optical network design apparatus, a constraint setter sets a first constraint that one of alternative values given beforehand is selected as the dispersion compensation amount of each node, sets a first margin value that assumes a nonnegative value, sets a second constraint that the first margin value is equal to or greater than the difference between the residual dispersion and the lower bound of an allowable range, sets a second margin value that assumes a nonnegative value, and sets a third constraint that the second margin value is equal to or greater than the difference between the upper bound of the allowable range and the residual dispersion. A calculation controller generates an objective function including the first, second and third constraints and including a summation of the first and second margin values for all paths, and derives a solution that minimizes the objective function.

摘要:
An appropriate ring topology is selected by searching network topology information on the basis of given information about client signal paths on a predetermined condition, and a wavelength ring accommodating the client signal paths and having an optimal transmission characteristic is designed on the basis of the selected ring topology. Accordingly, accommodation of client signal paths in an optical network is efficiently designed.
