摘要： A system and method of detecting polarity inversion in an optical switching circuit is disclosed. The method includes performing a first round of a port verification process on at least two optical ports, transmitting a payload from at least one optical port in the at least two optical ports, determining if the payload was received at a second optical port in the at least two optical ports, assigning a pair of ports to a first group in the case that the predetermined payload was communicated between the pair of ports, and assigning a pair of ports to a second group in the case that the predetermined payload was not communicated between the pair of ports. The method also includes determining that either the first group of ports or the second group of ports has inverted polarity.

摘要： Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for semi-centralized routing. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method receives a network protocol packet at a router adapted for routing data packets to one or more additional routers. The network protocol packet conforms to a routing protocol that provides distributed routing computation. The method also sends the network protocol packet, through a controller, to a selected one of a plurality of route control servers. The method also processes the network control packet at the selected route control server to generate a routing computation result that conforms to the routing protocol. The method also generates routing information based on the routing computation. The routing information conforms to a control protocol that provides centralized routing computation. The method also sends the routing information to the router for routing of data packets based on the control protocol.

摘要： Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for semi-centralized routing. One of the methods includes receiving one or more routes and determining that a received route identifies a new set of paths different from each routing path group in a maintained set of routing path groups. A new routing path group is created that corresponds to the new set of paths. The new routing path group is assigned an identifier of the routing path group. The new routing path group is converted to a corresponding new flow path group. A flow path group that was converted from the routing path group is replaced on a network device with the converted new flow path group.

摘要： Systems and methods for optimizing port usage in an optical circuit switch are disclosed herein. A plurality of optical circulators can be coupled to the plurality of input and output ports of an optical circuit switch. An optical circulator coupled to an input port and an optical circulator coupled to an output port can form a bidirectional pair capable of communicating with any other bidirectional pair of the optical circuit switch. In this regard, the number of bidirectional ports of an optical circuit switch can be increased allowing additional bandwidth to flow through the optical circuit switch. Increasing the efficiency and capabilities of optical circuit switches within a large scale communications network can offer increased functionality and performance with little trade off.

摘要： Network performance may be improved by adjusting a logical network topology while avoiding attendant disruptions. By identifying an alternative logical topology, routing network traffic away from links that will be eliminated from the alternative logical topology, and updating a traffic routing plan upon the adoption of the alternative logical topology, a network may adopt a more efficient topology without misdirecting network traffic.
