To provide a network synchronization function in a board of simultaneously accommodating the plurality of Ethernet physical layer interfaces, the clock operating method may include: determining a physical layer interface according to a current network synchronization mode; and generating a clock signal of the determined physical layer interface as a reference signal of another physical layer interface.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) are provided. The RSOA control apparatus sets a threshold current at which a light source starts to oscillate to be constant regardless of a wavelength of seed light by controlling a driving temperature for driving a RSOA, and adjusts an optical characteristic which is differently output for each wavelength of seed light to be constant by controlling a driving current.
Abstract:
A communication method of a first communication node of a combined node system including a plurality of communication nodes includes receiving data from at least one second communication node of the plurality of communication nodes, generating common control information by using the data, the common control information including data transmission path information between the plurality of communication nodes and an external communication apparatus which is on the outside of the combined node system, transmitting the common control information to the at least one second communication node, and communicating with the external communication apparatus through at least a part of the plurality of communication nodes on the basis of the common control information.
Abstract:
An Internet broadcasting system and a method thereof are provided. The Internet broadcasting system includes: a signal converter for converting a received analog broadcasting signal into a digital broadcasting data; an Internet broadcasting unit for storing and sending the digital broadcasting data; a repeater for relaying the digital broadcasting data to a switching unit connected with a terminal according to a broadcasting request message inputted from the terminal but selectively relaying a channel selected by the terminal by referring to a first multicasting forwarding table created by using a UDP port number extracted from the broadcasting request message; and the switching unit for snooping on the broadcasting request message, extracting the UDP port number, storing the extracted UDP port number into a second multicasting forwarding table, and transmitting the digital broadcasting data of the selected channel to the corresponding terminal referring to an entry of the second multicasting forwarding table.
Abstract:
A method for updating a filtering database in a multi-ring network, includes: when the topology of a lower ring in a multi-ring network, in which a plurality of ring networks are connected by two ring connection nodes, is altered and the ring connection node detects the alteration in the topology of the lower ring, erasing, by the ring connection node, its filtering database; generating, by the ring connection node, a control message including a ring ID, a blockage flag, and an erasure flag; transmitting the control message in both directions of the ring; and determining, by a node which receives the control message, to erase a filtering database by referring to and correcting the blockage and erasure flag information included in the control message.
Abstract:
A spectrum-sliced seed light module for a wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM PON) is provided. The seed light module includes an optical amplifier to amplify seed light, an optical wavelength filter to transmit broadband light, which is output in opposite direction to an output direction of the seed light, at periodic frequency intervals, and a reflective mirror to reflect light which is spectrum-sliced through the optical wavelength filter to the optical wavelength filter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus with reconfiguration function and signal gathering function. The apparatus with reconfiguration function and signal gathering function according to the present invention comprises a signal gathering unit which gathers at least one alarm digital alarm signal, an alarm signal address setting unit where the address of the alarm signal gathering unit is setup; and an alarm signal collection controller which outputs the at least one digital alarm signal through serial bus. Therefore, address is allocated to a plurality of digital signals and thus the number of necessary components decreases and the embodiment area decreases, as well.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for managing an Ethernet ring network of a VLAN-based bridge that includes: registering a major-ring VID (VLAN ID) in a ring port filtering database of a ring protection link owner node in accordance with a request for registering the major ring VID (VLAN ID) from an ERP (Ethernet Ring Protection) controller mounted on the ring protection link owner node of a major ring; delivering, by the ring protection link owner node, a VID registration message to other nodes which belong to the major ring through a ring port; receiving the VID registration message through the ring port and registering the major ring VID in a ring port filtering database of each node itself, by each node which belongs to the major ring; and delivering, by each node which belongs to the major ring, the VID registration message to other nodes which belong to the major ring through the ring port.
Abstract:
A node generates a delay measurement frame and transmits it to an adjacent node of an Ethernet ring network in order to measure a delay of the network. The node receives the delay measurement frame generated by the node from another adjacent node of the ring network, and measures a network delay by using the received delay measurement frame.
