    摘要: The present disclosure provides absolute route diversity (ARD) for mesh restorable sub-network connection protection (MR-SNCP) services. ARD addresses concerns in MR-SNCP by providing absolute path diversity between both paths (e.g., peer Sub Network Connections (SNCs)) of an MR-SNCP connection. If an ARD condition is not met, the peer SNC is not mesh restored and the MR-SNCP works with just one single SNC. The advantage of this approach is to reuse the bandwidth saved from ARD for other MR-SNCP, i.e. more efficient bandwidth utilization due to ARD for other MR-SNCPs, and better service quality guarantee (protection) in terms of planning and managing the network bandwidth.

    摘要: A method for establishing an alternate pathway to an endpoint that may determine that a network connection is lost between a first network element and an application server. The method may select a second network element from a virtual network operating on an optical network. The second network element may include a network connection over the optical network to the application server, and a network connection to the first network element over the virtual network. The method may designate the second network element to act as a network proxy to the first network element. The first network element may use the second network element as the network proxy for receiving data over the virtual network. The method may receive data from the application server at the first network element using the second network element as the network proxy.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides bandwidth defragmentation systems and methods in optical networks such as Optical Transport Network (OTN), Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), Ethernet, and the like. In particular, the present invention includes bandwidth defragmentation algorithms that may be used within the context of a signaling and routing protocol to avoid bandwidth defragmentation. As such, the present invention defines a mechanism for computing an end to end path for a connection in a manner that avoids bandwidth fragmentation and provides for better network utilization. For example, the present invention may include a path computation based upon administrative weight and upon fragmentation costs. This may be implemented in existing signaling and routing protocols without changes to existing protocol messages used in topology discovery. Further, the present invention optimizes available bandwidth allowing a higher probability of higher bandwidth request being admitted.
