Abstract: A line status monitoring circuit receives a frame through one of a number of lines from another node connected through a redundant transmission channel which is made redundant by the lines. The line status monitoring circuit includes a line-specific check frame monitoring unit. If a line-specific check frame having an added dedicated header corresponding to each of the plurality of lines is received through one of the lines from another node, the line-specific check frame monitoring unit determines whether or not a further line-specific check frame corresponding to a frame for checking which is identical to a frame for checking to which the line-specific check frame corresponds is received through at least a predetermined number of lines within a predetermined time. If the further line-specific check frame is not received in this manner, the line-specific check frame monitoring unit discards the frame.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an operation and administration system that allows location of a failure in a network such as an Ethernet network. For this purpose, the operation and administration system of the present invention is characterized in that: a start point MEP unit 2A on a start point node 1A serving as the start point of an administered section transmits a link trace message (LTM) to an end point MEP unit 2D on an end point node 1D in a predetermined cycle; each of MIP units 3A to 3C existing on a transfer route of the LTM receives the LTM, and relays the LTM to the next node and also transmits a link trace reply (LTR) to the start point MEP unit 2A; the end point MEP unit 2D receives the LTM and transmits an LTR to the start point MEP unit 2A; the start point MEP unit 2A, upon receiving an LTR to the transmitted LTM, retrieves a piece of link trace information with a source ID indicating a source of the received LTR from a link trace DB having registered therein pieces of link trace information each including a source ID indicating a source of an LTR and a reception time of the LTR, and updates the reception time in the retrieved piece of link trace information to the current time.

Abstract: There is provided a line status monitoring circuit, a node, a communication system, and a failure occurrence determining method which can detect occurrence of a failure in some of redundant lines between nodes. A line status monitoring circuit receives a frame through one of a plurality of lines from another node connected through a redundant transmission channel which is made redundant by the plurality of lines. The line status monitoring circuit includes a line-specific check frame monitoring unit 51. If a line-specific check frame having an added dedicated header corresponding to each of the plurality of lines is received through one of the plurality of lines from another node, the line-specific check frame monitoring unit 51 determines whether or not a further line-specific check frame corresponding to a frame for checking which is identical to a frame for checking which the line-specific check frame corresponds to is received through a predetermined number or more of lines within a predetermined time. Then, if the further line-specific check frame is not received through the predetermined number or more of lines within the predetermined time, the line-specific check frame monitoring unit 51 discards the frame for checking corresponding to the first received line-specific check frame.
