摘要:
When opposed communication transmitting apparatuses A and C are connected in a physical configuration thorough a communication transmitting apparatus B, if an interface configuration changing command is input to the communication transmitting apparatus B, the interface configuration is changed in the communication transmitting apparatus B and virtual connection is achieved such that the opposed communication transmitting apparatuses A and C pass through the communication transmitting apparatus B to directly connect an interface A1 and an interface C1. In this situation, since the GMPLS operation target apparatuses are only the communication transmitting apparatus A and the communication transmitting apparatus C and the communication transmitting apparatus B is a non-target apparatus of the GMPLS operation, the GMPLS scalability problem is solved and optical signals may be transferred at higher speed.

A communication apparatus stores therein link information indicating a network connection status of an entire hierarchical network, collects link information indicating a network connection status in its own area in predetermined cycles, and transmits the collected link information to another area assigned a level different from a level assigned to its own area. When receiving link information from another area assigned a different level, the communication apparatus determines whether the received link information is new link information newer than link information stored in a predetermined storage unit; when it is determined that the received link information is new link-information, the communication apparatus stores the new link information into the predetermined storage unit and advertises it in its own area; by contrast, when it is determined that the received link information is not new link-information, the communication apparatus discards the received link information without storing and advertising.

A signaling apparatus is applied to a node constituting a network including internal network to network interface (INNI) domains having INNI interfaces between a plurality of networks in an area and external network to network interface (ENNI) domains having ENNI interfaces that connect the INNI domains. The apparatus includes a processing unit that processes a signaling message for setting a path when an end-to-end path that passes through the INNI domains and the ENNI domains that connect the INNI domains is set in response to the signaling message, a storing unit that holds information on types of links between an own node and adjacent nodes, and a judging unit that judges whether the own node is a connection end point of the INNI domains or the ENNI domains with reference to route information in the message and the information on the types of the links held in the storing unit.

A signaling system able to improve the efficiency of utilization of network resources and autonomously set a correct spare route, that is, a signaling system setting a path passing through two rings interconnected by a plurality of nodes by signaling wherein each node is provided with an inter-node connection information table including topology information in the network and a branch node judgment unit for judging whether a home node is a branch node based on the content of the inter-node connection information table and wherein when the home node receives a signaling message for setting a working path and it is judged that the node is a branch node, the signaling of the spare path is started for the destination node of the spare path based on the information in the inter-node connection information table so as to autonomous set the spare path.

A path switching system and method for a multiple-node ATM network, in which a plurality of paths can be simultaneously switched preserving proper correspondence thereof. A key choosing unit provided in a node chooses first and second sorting keys out of the virtual paths between the nodes, based on a first and second path information stored in a path information memory unit. Two nodes located at both ends of the route failed due to trouble in the ATM network select a first pair of isolated virtual paths having the first sorting key, which were formerly connected to the failed route, and connect them to a first bypass route. The two nodes then connect in a similar way a second pair of isolated virtual paths both having the second sorting key to a second bypass route.

An apparatus switches paths in a wavelength-multiplexing network in which a first number of wavelengths each used for a path to transmit an optical signal are multiplexed into an optical fiber. The apparatus includes an entire switching unit and a second number of individual switching units where the second number is smaller than the first number. The entire switching unit is configured to perform a path-switching process for switching a path, simultaneously on all the first number of wavelengths when failures have occurred for all the first number of wavelengths. The second number of individual switching units are each configured to perform the path-switching process individually on one of a third number of wavelengths included in the first number of wavelengths when at least one failure has occurred for the third number of wavelengths where the third numbers is smaller than the first number.

摘要:
A node in a first ring stores therein connection information about connecting nodes between a second ring and a third ring. Upon receiving a route of a working path by a signaling, the node determines any one of nodes composing the second ring as a branch node. If the working path is not terminated on an end node that the working path ends in the second ring thereon, and also if no node composing the second ring stores therein connection information between the end node and any one of the connecting nodes in the third ring that is connected to the second ring, the node compares each condition of selectable routes of a backup path between the end node and the branch node, and selects any one of the selectable routes as the backup path based on a result of comparison.
